Loving this new team outlook. But not happy with Ham's 3 guard lineups and having no answer for Raps taking AD out of the game offensively. Lucky Dlo caught fire at the end. With that said this is 100% a team I can root for.
Ham did have an answer
He played a lineup of Wenyen Gabriel and turned the game around
The only way to stop a team from triple teaming one of your players is for the other players to make plays which they did
He actually made the best adjustment tonight by going with Zone to stop the isolation attacks by the raptors
This is why you pick a young coach and you stick with him while he learns now the team is playing motivated basketball under him
We don’t even have LeBron James
Oh please…team won despite poor coaching. Hope Ham continues to improve. Rooting for him. You trying to get credit calling out people for calling out questionable moves. No credit given.
With every passing win you look more ridiculous when you keep posting this
Your whole game is homerism, ignoring when you’re wrong then quick on the fake “i told you so” inferiority complex. We’re all fans, if someone speaks sound logic in an opinion there’s no reason to spew your attempted canabalism other than try to make up for your own uniformed positions. _________________ “When it looks as if it is a realistic possibility, I want to focus on winning a ship like it’s a goal that can’t be denied.

Ham did well with the zone defense.
That confuse the hell out of some inexperienced Toronto players.
But it ain’t gonna fly against good experienced teams
He really got bailed out by Reaves, who just keep making plays after plays out of nothing, and a lot of AND1 too.
Later on DLo come in and turn into Curry.
I feel like today success is fools gold.
It is gonna encourage meathead to keep using the 3 guards lineup.
Schroder made some terrible shots that he had no business taking.
And dribble the air out of the ball in some possessions.
His role is ideally just a sixth man, we can’t have him playing starter minute with DLo.
And we made zero adjustment against Barnes.
Continue to let him shoot over our smaller guards.
People gonna cry that I am gonna say this.
Our players really saved this game in spite of Ham meathead
What will you say after the next win?
This is exactly what I’m talking about here that cursory wave of praise but oh my God it’s not sustainable
It is sustainable
Having no system.
Just wait for our player to pop off.
Sounds like a great plan.
I am sure a lot of teams win championship like thst
There actually is a system being played here it’s not hams fault that you can’t see it
By the way, what happened Nick nurse is this great coach how did he lose to the Awful darvin ham
Yah the system is Reaves make some plays and get AND1.
And DLo make some crazy fast break 3s.
Our player saved the Meathead today.
Watch the game dude.
So you’re gonna stick with this I just wanna make sure you understand how stupid you look
It doesn’t matter if I look stupid or not.
Our team gonna looks stupid just like Ham if he think he finds the magic key and start running the triple guard lineup as his go to lineup.
I hope he can make me look stupid.
I am done looking like a genius the past 2 years, and watch my team gets Westbrick into the bottom of the league
So its just one game, but the last 6 minutes of that 4th? D'lo was giving me CP3 vibes with pace, decision making, and hitting those shots.
You must mean CP3 2 years ago because lately he’s been horrible.
Might get a little roasted for this but I get Steph vibes with DLO.
Not just because his FIRE shooting but the way he play makes and defends.
Much improved defense from DLO and is a solid help defender like Steph. Definitely a little above average to say the least
Yes, as in the "one of top pgs in game" sort...yea, someone will roast me cuz d'lo not at that level, but tonight he was. _________________ "One thing I admire about Kuzma is his unwavering confidence. He truly has no idea that he’s not as good as he thinks." - Killer_Z

Sitting your best player isn't much of an adjustment.
I've been one of the guys to heavily criticized Ham in here with his 3 guard line-ups....
But I don't have any tonight. He stuck with the hot hands until the end. He sat Beasley down as he was struggling. Schro/DLo/Reaves was on a roll in the 4th. I'd be more stupid if we lost the game because he decided to sit one or 2 of those guys.
Is tonight's win fools gold? I don't think it is, specially how the team has been performing since the trade deadline. This team is just starting to come together.

Play Anthony Davis tonight was killing momentum because of the way their defense was playing us the lineup, the Darvin ham head on the court, brought us back from a double digit deficit to a double digit lead

It’s cool man…I prefer to celebrate a win with fans regardless of concerns. When I’m around non fans I don’t let them talk smack against the Lakers. But when I think I’m with other Lakers I tend to be more critical on the short comings I see. Glad for the win, hope everyone improves and play well enough to make up for any shortcomings. I see a lot of fans after a win so happy they appear to have blinders on. I want to win more than a regular season game. My concerns are that if we struggle to start the game and struggle to start the second half we may be in danger of just having regular season success.
Imo I thought you were off base calling out other fans for legitimate concerns. Maybe you didn’t see any. _________________ “When it looks as if it is a realistic possibility, I want to focus on winning a ship like it’s a goal that can’t be denied. I didn’t see that this off season.”
Raptors are a touch matchup for us without Lebron because their wings are huge. Ham was smart honestly to just give up and go to a zone, they have size but not great shooting and it paid off.
Awesome close by D-Lo man, that was crazy fun to see him raining threes from all over. Just a great game by him period at least on offense. On D Ham did him no favors having him guard Scottie Barnes, that was moronic.
AD didn't score a lot but drew a ton of attention and played great D, will take that from him all day long and keep the wear and tear to a minimum.
called it, but I was worried a few times... _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.”

Considering I'm yet another hater of the 3 guard lineups we had earlier this season I just gotta say - DLO/Reaves/Shroeder played awesome ball tonight! Kudos to all 3.
Swapping out WB/Bev for DLO, seeing a bit more of both Reaves and Schroeder, this 3 guard combo plays with a bit more size, a bit more versatility, and a LOT more brains than the previous 3 guard lineup. And it worked. AD was triple teamed and all 3 of them made the Raptors pay for it.
As far as the zone D later in the game, hey it worked.
Also - the team chemistry out there was awesome!!!! Fantastic game all around as far as I'm concerned.

Somewhere along the way, especially in the game thread, we went away from calling out, specific instances that we didn’t agree with, and just saying things like and I’m paraphrasing
Nurse is out coaching ham
Ham is shot in the face
Ham is a horrible coach
Ham is a meathead
And on and on and on
Then the team wins, and all those criticisms all go under the woodwork like so many cockroaches
I got no problem with specific concerns about what he does for instants playing too many small bowl lineups is a legitimate concern, especially whenever it doesn’t work, but the stuff that I mentioned above infuriates the (bleep) out of me
If people are going to (bleep) about him consistently, at least have the balls to come out and see when he does well
This team is one of the top defending teams in the NBA
This team has gone from being completely out of any kind of playoff contention at all to one game behind the sixth seed
They are doing this well they’ve had more than their share of injuries this year
You don’t do that with crappy coaching and coaching makes players not give their best this to you as (bleep) hard all year when or lose and now they’re winning
23pts, 7 assists, 4 steals …….playing his ass off on D …….. shouldering more minutes than any Lakers …….. still gets a lot of hate from people on this forum.

We would not have won this game without Schro
Biggest problem is Schroeder now if we’re not gonna be able to afford him next year
