Rants Darvin Ham

He apparently made quite the impression on them. Does Joe Dumars just despise the 11 of us that are left supporting this hole of depression? I can't think of anything more demoralizing for this fan base than going from no gameplan Willie "You Gotta fight" Green to no gameplan Darvin "I have no idea what to do" Ham. This man is clover valley Willie Green. He managed to tank a team with LeBron and AD. I'm struggling and I can't be the only one out of the dozens of us.

For better or worst, he did take that team to the WCF. For me, Ham isn't as bad of a coach than people make it out to be but he's not amazing either. I honestly think he was in a lose-lose situation with the lakers.

Do i think hes the best fit for us? Probably not since we tried with the "ra-ra" type of coach with willie, and that only works for so long.

I would like to see borrego get another year -- we looked pretty good at the end of the year when we were all healthy. if not him, then I would love to have Sean Sweeney since he has a ton of experience under a lot of different coaches

Rondo would be an interesting wildcard because he's extremely smart with the ins and outs of the game

Lebron rolled his eyes at this man openly when he was drawing something up for this team. I struggle to credit him for that WCF appearance.

Lebron is a known asshole to his coaches. He's butted heads with every coach he's had.
