    Why does he like small ball so much? I don't get it.

    Coach Bud didn't play lineups like this at all. And does he have a past relationship with Beverly?

    These lineups are idiotic. Rob needs to make a move and get rid of 2-3 of our guards, save Ham from himself.

    It turned out ok but I don't understand when you're losing by 3 with 10s on the clock and you have LeBron bouncing in with Russ, Pat, AD and Reaves on the floor. I can't think of ANY logic to do that

    Also hated the unwillingness to change during OT. We played terribly, jacking up 3s, no set plays and he didn't do anything different.

    Gotta do better

    Yeah team couldn't score unless they were creating TOs. Just terrible halfcourt offense which start with the personnel.

    Why no Walker remains baffling

    Was absolutely maddening seeing that line up when we were down 3. Stu was talking about how you gotta get as many 3 point shooters on the floor as possible… as Ham trots out Westbrook and Beverley.

    And then it feels like he wanted to reward the lineup that made the comeback and kept Westbrook and Beverley in there for OT, even though they weren’t playing particularly great. The team was clearly gassed with that last minute comeback, it would have made so much sense to get some fresh legs in there. Lonnie had been playing a good game and shooting well. Instead we basically ran the offense through Westbrook…

    I really hope this was a learning experience for him, because I don’t know how many foolish decisions like this I can take before my patience starts wearing thin.

    Smart move by Ham to not have Russ out there at the end. Couldn’t afford to do that, too close.

    Well he actually bothered him a bit. And I hate Bev. Not that it mattered. Bojan cooked everyone.

    Slowly going away from rep: the Lakers best lineup is some variation of AD/Lebron/Lonnie/REaves and probably Schroeder?

    Need to move guys like Nunn/Bevs/Westbrook to bring in guy who are threat to shoot the ball from beyond the paint and who aren't complete turnstiles on D

    well if he got it going early makes it easier for him to do that against someone like Bev

    Frank 2.0 at best. If it wasn't for Russ accepting the starting role, he would be even worse. Great game from Bron and AD needed to beat the worst team in the league. Did him and Rob really think, that this team is well constructed?

    no. it's why they hemmed and hawed until the start of camp about selling every asset that wasn't nailed down to move russ.

    that doesn't excuse playing the smalls so much, though.
