| I don't get why he is hoarding timeouts. Are timeouts tracked anywhere? I'm curious to see who calls the fewest timeouts |

Right before the playoffs?
Sounds like a bad idea.

Ham is a terrible coach, until further notice.
Nothing about his coaching makes me think otherwise.
He seems way over his head.
Should've had a head coach on the bench with him.
He doesn't know what he is doing out there.
He has these corny cliche sayings.
His coaching is so irritating.
It's his 1st year, so I'm trying to cut him slack
But it's hard when he is portraying terrible coaching.
I don't even see him getting better.
I see that we got better talent, but his coaching isn't better. |

That second quarter lineup killed us.
No sure why he didn’t call a timeout.
No Lebron or AD.
And no ball handler or shot creator.
It is like he think Reaves can create all by himself.
Lol
We will probably still make the playin.
But his slow adjustment doesn’t bode well for one game elimination. |

You don't like him taking those corner 3s?

He should listen to PG13 on why Vando is open.

| I’m so (bleep) sick of his obsession with three guard lineups. We get away with it when it’s Reaves/Dlo/DS sometimes, but when he starts stacking Lonnie and Beasley we get run out of the gym. AND HE KEEPS DOING IT. WHY. With Lebron coming off the bench, why have lineups where Lebron or AD isn’t on the court? Why not play our big Rui instead of trying to have Beasley not bother to help box out Drummond when AD goes to challenge the drive? |

Told everyone 3 guard lineup is stupid.
And in the bad matchup, it will burn us. |

Yep. No rebounds, no rings. I’m gonna keep saying and hope Ham is lurking and notices. No rebounds, no rings! |

The guy just can’t help himself out of the 3 guard line-ups. Specially when he see other teams doing it. Not sure why Lebron came off the bench specially if he was playing 29mins. Seriously Beasley/Walker line-up instead of Rui?… No excuse also to DNP Rui in favor of guys like Wenyen and Walker. Specially Walker when Rui can provide us more size and mid range out there.
Reaves need to go back off the bench. He obviously can’t handle starter minutes yet. Always said he is better suited off the bench right now. Where he can maximize his ball handling vs other teams 2nd unit. Not to mention he shot the ball lights out for a few games. Everyone knew it was not sustainable for a guard like him. |

| Rui getting benched makes 0 sense given Bamba is out and Ham plays Wenyan limited minutes. Not sure whether he's trying to make the team go through extra adversity so they're battle-hardened for the playoffs. Also, why the (bleep) is LeBron playing 30 minutes in his first game back from an injury that multiple doctors advised he'd need surgery for? |

He treated yesterday's game like it was a preseason exhibition game, tinkering with lineups. Granted LBJ being suddenly available probably upended things, but taking Rui out for Lonnie, etc., is just way too late to be doing stuff like that. He is in love with guards over size for some reason and we just got crushed by size.

I think his biggest weakness is rotations. The thing is, it's really not that hard.
Like he just does stuff that makes no logical sense, it's like in the HOU game he starts Rui at center instead of Gabriel? What?
Then as you say he brings Lebron off the bench, but still doesn't keep at least 1 star on the court at all times. Or when it was just D-Lo and AD, he has both off at the same time. What?
Or to suddenly give Rui a DNP because....reasons?
There is other stuff like never using timeouts or challenges correctly, general slowness in adjustments, but those are things you assume will improve with time. The rotations are just so basic though it's alarming where he is at. |

Really didn't like the DNP for Rui last game, he should be out there, if for no other reason than his length. I get wanting Lonnie in there to see if he has it going, but coach needs to split Beasley's minutes not from Rui...Beas has been so inconsistent he and lonne are basically the same player, so so defense who if hot offensively can wreck a team.
PG - Dlo dlo - these two can be almost half and halg I think maybe a bit more for D lo
SG - Reaves - at least half the minutes, Beas/Lonnie (half of the remaining minutes for each)
SF - LBJ - half the minutes, Rui/T (half of the remaining minutes each)
PF - Vando - half the minutes, Wenyan
C- AD (2/3rs of the minutes) Mo
I know players can shift around, but generally above its what I'd like to see |

Jeanie and Rob was hopeful Darvin was going to be like how Willie Green is for the Pelicans.
Instead they got a Younger Byron Scott
Lonnie Walker this time around instead of Ronnie Price |

I would take Luke over this dumbass immediately. Luke was also really bad but he didn't have this team and this kind of players. IMO he didn't have the team of this quality and also he didn't have two stars. In last season he had LBJ but with bunch of young guys.
This is what Ham is doing is awful. Probably worst coach Lakers ever had. |

Ham being very defensive on his post game tonight.
McMenamin just ask him his thoughts about staggering DLO and LeBron, and first thing Ham does is bring up Beasley saying he’s having a rough night that no one can play consistently for 82 games but he believes he’ll bounce back and he’ll still get his minutes.

This game is a pure example of Lakers winning IN SPITE of Ham’s incompetence. Dude almost gave the game away TWICE by leaving in the entire 2nd unit for so freaking long, both times the teams come back. Doesn’t stagger a single (bleep) starter until late in the 3rd.
Ham is such garbage. He is so slow and is clueless with Xs and Os.
