  1. The fact Ham knew to play vando down the stretch and in both OTs means he KNOWS

    At this point I question if it’s even hams decision to make..

  2. I don’t really mind Prince starting as long as Vando continues to get more mins, which has been the case. Prince’s spacing does help a lot to get LeBron and AD going; and his shooting, when he’s on (especially as one of our best shooters) has been hugely important.

  3. It’s stupid that Vando isn’t starting but he also played a helluva lot more minutes than Prince against the Warriors, where he also finished the game. There’s no question Vando makes the team better. Ham knows. The FO knows. As long as Vando gets more minutes and finishes the game it doesn’t really matter if he starts.

  4. Lakers get a really solid role player and the coach uses him like a premier starter. Just complete misuse of talent

  5. I’m done watching at this point. Fuck this dude. He fucked us over in the WCF and lost us this season.

  6. I know we’ve said it to death, but this really is just straight up fucking conduct detrimental to the team at this point. Based on his snobby remarks post game, his refusal to bench him unless his +/- is 30 points worse than our next worst guy, and his consistent overutilisation of him on both ends, Darvin is BLATANTLY playing favourites.

    I said it earlier this season, I’ve been saying it constantly since, and I’ll say it again: ***As long as Darvin Ham is our coach, we will win nothing.***

  7. I don’t wanna hear about “it doesn’t matter if TP starts because of minutes” we are the 3rd worst 1st quarter team giving up 31 points a game. Can we try and change something so we can actually do well to start off either with the lead or down by less than 5?

  8. I feel bad for Prince. He’s been a really good pickup for his salary and can play an important role on this team with way he’s been shooting the ball.

    However, Darvin gives him unfair amounts of responsibility and opens him up to insane criticism that he doesn’t deserve. Playing 30mpg and asking him to guard elite wings/guards is way beyond his capabilities and it’s ruining not only the team’s chance to be their best version but Taurean’s as well.

  9. Hi all! Holy hell. I forgot there was a game today, checked the game just now and…….Prince was a starter…..annnnnd we’re down by 20……..WTH???
