LeBron could pass Kareem tonight with a 158 point performance.

| If we have a try-hard game, we win. If we have an undisciplined, nonchalant game, we get mopped. |

| If we win this game I expect the team to have a very nice road trip but if we lose I think we go 1-4 or 2-3 |

Beat the blocks off these green douchebags and while we’re at it, do the same in Philly tomorrow too.

Overall Ham gets a D.
- Consistent poor 1st quarter team performance to start the game appears to indicate a lack of effective coaching preparedness.
- Continually getting outplayed in the 3rd quarter seems to point to lack of halftime adjustments in the locker-room
- 9 games lost on the last possession or two could show an inability to draw up a scheme or implement a rotation that closes out games successfully.
- Particularly, in regard to closing out games, the losses have a common culprit...turnovers, missed multiple shots especially 3s, poor decision making, and failing to get a defensive rebound. These problems should have been addressed such that so many games would not be lost the same way.
Additionally, the 3 and 4 guard line-ups have given up leads and increased deficits resulting in losses. Ham had it looking like Bryant was unplayable with DNPs and 4 minutes of playing time but after AD went out Bryant showed that he could play, and may have been a better option over the 4-guard strategy that could have resulted in more wins.
Finally, Ham's infatuation with Pat Beverly in the line-up, tho Bev has looked good lately, appears to indicate a lack of awareness from the coach on how to go with what's working and what's not and when to switch.
The reason Ham has earned a D instead of F is because he moved WB to the bench...which is really just phycological jostling but effective for the fans... because WB IS NOT better than last year. I don't want to argue the point about WB, just look it up if there is disagreement.
Big picture...the team fired a coach (justifiably agreed with the decision) that won a championship for the team after the team had a losing record below .500 and missed the post season, if Ham is no better, with a slightly better roster, though still flawed he cannot get a decent grade. The Lakers are there right now...below .500 losing record not in position currently to qualify for the postseason.
Ham's grade can change but for now he gets no higher than a D.

| I just want to see how Rui defends Tatum and Brown. Of course it will be a team defense thing but he can be pretty decent on that end if he puts in the effort. |

Take away their elite rim protector but slot in another elite 3 pt shooter.

The team started super slow this year which ham hast to take some responsibility for however you should also get credit for the fact that they have been so competitive after the first quarter of the season, knocking off some top teams, and staying with others, even given all the injuries
This team is not going to compete with any elite teams without Anthony Davis on the floor and he wasn’t |
