If the Lakers hit their threes at anything resembling a normal rate, this game would’ve been a destruction. As it is, still happy with the 2-1 lead.

Ham and D'Angelo gotta go especially the coach. I can't believe you can end mad for those guys when you was winning by 30. They did everything expecially the coach to put Memphis back in the game. How in the world Schroder or Troy Brown can play the same amount of minutes than Hachimura.

Why this man when Vanderbilt was killing Morant on defense in the 1st he did everything to don't match them again. He put Schroder and flipping Brown Jr to defend him more time. How Hachimura when he is your more efficient scorer with Reaves those two guys don't touch a ball camping in a corner with D'Angelo Russell and Schroder dribbling for 20 seconds with Lebron that is another that slow the game because he like to control the ball.

The guy did one thing well. Run an effective play for 8 straight minutes and the other 40 you didn't saw that play again.

He is freaking horrible. You can't be serious with Beasley playing almost the same time than Vanderbilt and Hachimura

Good defense in the first quarter. Up by 26! Good statement.

As long as we win these games, I’m okay with Ham trying to get everyone going before next round. Beasley is given a lot of chances. Tonight, a 26 point lead could’ve gone to hell because of that.

Next game, I hope we put the foot down for the whole game.

Not sure how to feel about the game.

I think it’s still a great win. Wire to wire.

Of course, we always hope for a blow out win especially when the opportunity was there. - early foul trouble for Jackson; bad shooting night for Memphis overall..

Let’s hope they can replicate that 1st quarter intensity for the start of Game 4 to put the Grizz away..

I **** hate Darvin scam. Dumbest worst coach we have had since luke Walton. We won this game despite him not because of him. Every time ad sits we get chewed up on the interior. The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again when it doesn’t work. Maybe try bamba for 10 mins u idiot. And don’t gimme the excuse that he must suck that’s why he’s not playing. Beasley gets 20 mins a game to do cardio and miss every shot he takes bc he has noodz of scam. On top of all this wtf how is rui not playing more? Guy is a grade A donkey and I’ve resigned myself that we won’t win anything w him at the helm
Warspite:

Prince + filler for Kobe Bryant
To be honest the way Prince has played and with Kobes injury/age/mileage Im not sure I would do that deal either. Still Prince is more important and he wins the head to head battles with Kobe.

My concern this game is despite of the huge lead, AD and LBJ still plays 38 mins and 36 mins respectively.

Ham still did not try out on playing Gabriel, Bamba and Walker, especially when Beasley did nothing on the court, when we have a big lead i.e. some room for error.

A thought to ponder is that the coach also sees the shortcomings we see, (imagine that, lol) but let’s them all get a fair chance to fix it. He’s a players’ coach. I like that about him.

But like everyone else I’d like to see Ham tighten it up to a rotation of 10-11 players. It’s that time! Beasley has to ride the pine. D Lo gets too much pivotal game time as is.

I’d make a clear adjustment before next game, definitely before SAC / GSW. They will exploit our poor perimeter defense all the way to a sweep if we let them.
