You’re right but at this point i feel like we gotta throw him in the fire to get him to figure it out again. Even if he only playing the first 4-5 minutes of the quarter it could help slow down the other teams best player

Once they get into a groove it’s over

Prince is respectable from the 3 as of late and can at least help defend and hustle. Vando is giving you at most 6 points a game and is he shutting down whoever he’s guarding?

Vando is the only guy we have with a chance to shut down the other teams best guard/wing player

If he doesn’t have it that night then u simply sub in Prince or Rui. It’s not rocket science

With guys like D’Lo, Reaves, Bron & AD in the lineup u dont need anyone to score more than 6 lmao. U just need someone who can stretch the floor every once in a while, play some perimeter D and make hustle plays

Vando is that guy

unsuccessful challenge

i told that idiot not to do it he ain’t listen to me though

Taurean played the most minutes that half and didn’t do a damn thing besides get cooked by Shai and not box out

Vando coming in and making an immediate impact defensively

Vando

4 rebounds
2 steals
drew the charge on Shai

all in 13 min

Even tho Ham didn’t start Vando i feel like his rotations have been much better tonight compared to usual

Perhaps hes learning little by little

IMPACT

Ham will have him close the game instead of Vando and Shai will cook

I can already see it

Lmao

Ham should let Vando rest now so he can be fresh down the final stretch

But we all know he wont do that

That’s why you play them with a play making Guard like Reaves or DLO. RUi is a stud and needs to start

2 straight offensive rebounds

No one boxes out

Rui and Vando are on the bench

smh

Rui brings a much needed scoring threat to our second unit

Plus Rui is the ideal substitute for LeBron

classic Ham sabotage

No Vando and no Rui

Looks like Prince has to reach his 30 min quota

if we werent up by so much, we would've been f***ed

Prince must have some crazy blackmail on Ham lmaoooo

I like Prince but hes an ideal 15-20 mpg type of player

should not get 30 minutes though if his shot isnt falling, but this is an example of a coaching trusting his vet over the younger guy in max. not gonna change, it is what it is
