Ham literally went with a 3 Guard lineup, we went down 20, and it was too late to come back. NO SHIT

We have the best D when Vando starts and worst D when Schroder starts, WTF is Ham thinking in the West Finals.


Make me Cum Ham and Start LBJ, Dlo or Reaves, Vando, Rui, and AD

When asked about the size disparity with Dennis starting, Ham said that wasn’t the problem….

I just watched the post game press conference and Ham just completely rejected the idea that the size discrepancy was the issue… he claims that people just weren’t boxing out. That is true, but the 3 guard lineup was 100% the main reason we lost tonight. It’s no coincidence we made a run when we went big with Rui out there. Rui was a game high +10.

Ham also seemed to reject the idea of changing the starting lineup…Yall wtf is wrong with this man. Reaves has no business guarding MPJ

No shit we needed to match them with size but Ham started 3 gaurds, went down 20 and still started the same lineup for the 2nd half. Just imagine if we had a capable coach to do the series adjustments. We only went small vs the warriors because they went small with GP2 so we adjusted to them. Nuggets are super tall team so we need to adjust to them from the start not in the 4th Q, it was too late.

Ham known for running 3 guards even during the westbrook days.
I never liked him as a coach tbh... He sucks
Rui gotta start

Reaves/DLo
Vando
Rui
Bron
AD

Before the trade deadline we used the 3 guard lineup ALOT, the reason we were a 12 seed with Westbrick

Only one time after the trade deadline did we go with 3 Guards and that was to match Warriors because they went even smaller with starting GP2

This off season need to sign Reaves 5 years!!!!! Rui Hachimura 5 years!!!! Schroeder 4 years!!!! Vendobilt 3 years!!!!! Walker 4 years !

Not sure about DLo too expensive for lack of production. Sign Bamba to back up AD center

If warriors are paying wayyy over the cap for free. N Poole n Wiggins and Klay. Lakers can do similar and Lakers players r cheaper n younger n more productive

There is no Rocket Science here go with what worked Post Trade Deadline. Game 2 Starting Lineup should be:
Dlo - JM
Reaves - KCP
Vando - MPJ
LBJs - AG
AD - Joker

First substitution should be Rui in for Bron. Rui mans up and Plays D on Joker. AD switches to AG and roams Free Safety in the Paint. Dennis in for Dlo if he is getting Cooked by JM. Vando Should also get some run against JM.
Ham use your fucking timeouts when they go on early runs, we are down 0-1 no time to fuck around.

Why are we going away from Vando, he is our best Perimeter defender? He has the size to match MJP and JM. He only got 10mins? Nuggets have 3 Perimeter offensive threats in JM, KCP, and MPJ. We need Vando's length on MPJ not Reaves. We know Vandos offense sucks but we NEED his Defense this series! We have to use Vando as a Off Ball screener.


My Dream Lineup would be:
LBJ - AG
Reaves - KCP
Vando - JM
Rui - MPJ
AD - Joker
