It’s fair criticize Ham on some level but it’s also hilarious to completely discount the fact that he led us the WCF in his very first year. And to say it was all AD/Lebron is just a hopelessly casual take.

There’s only one ball though. And when they’re inefficient they turn into black holes and we’re back to square one.

Casuals after every loss:

Agreed. Our roster is not the issue. Injuries and and consequent lack of chemistry on both sides of the ball are due to little to no continuity. Also, DLO is the better playmaker while Lavine is the better scorer. In that regard, I vote DLO.

Homie, if you want to discuss philosophy, I’m here for it. Personally, I lean toward Kierkegaard, Ghazali, some of Nietzsche, as well as philosophical novelists like Dostoevsky (Brothers K is a must read). What about you? ;)

I actually liked his D on Irving. An almost impossible task but his footwork was great for the most part. He just needs more time and patience to develop. Can’t rush the harvest.

partially due to the rest of the guys kinda just standing around and watching.

Absolutely. Watching Wood/Hayes/Rui cut to the rim for easy dunks is a thing of beauty when AD is swarmed. And it’s only just beginning.

If we hit our shots when he kicks out to the open shooter, teams can no longer afford to double- or triple-team him. Last night that wasn’t working as effectively as it was in previous games. It’s all good though. I loved our run at the end even if we lost. It shows we have levels.

If DAL had a scheme at all, it was to disallow AD from getting going. They swarmed him with almost every touch. DAL knew points in the pain is their biggest weakness. That made kickouts critical and we shot poorly. Still, this was the 3rd game in 4 nights. Some of the team had dead legs. Also, if we hadn’t missed something like 6 layups in the first quarter, we’d all be singing a tune. Personally, I love this squad and it’s not even anywhere at full strength yet.

Cam Radish…

Always love your drawings. Keep 'em up!

I sincerely hope not, but Vincent’s injury feels like deja vu.

But it would it be the full metal G-Shock, yeah? Asking for a friend…

He’s awesome and still underrated. And he never quits. I wish we would have kept him though I have reasonable hope that Vincent will start shine and fill that role.

vincent has been hurt.

I’m reasonably confident that when he’s back and healthy, he’s gonna cook for us and be Schroder 2.0. He’s not as fast but he’s stronger and can be just as much of a nuisance to opposing teams if not more with his potentially better 3 ball. We simply don’t have a sample size yet.
