      He is more of a development guy than a head coach. He definitely is highly respected. They should bring someone in like coach Budenholzer and run a REAL offensive system to help their role players more. Put JJ as an asst to appease LeBron since we know if he opts in he wants his guy in place. Coach Bud should run more of the offense that they ran in Atlanta. LeBron could still do a lot of primary ballhandling, but it won't be the watch LeBron and then react show. All of LeBron's teams suffer because his style takes his teammates out of sync and when he isn't on the floor there isn't a system to rely on. At the very least, let the secondary ball handlers run the system when lebron is on the bench.

Taurean Prince caused them the last game too, when he fouled someone shooting a 3 pointer and got a pat on the back by Darvin Ham after the foul. The Lakers were just making a run at that moment to separate themselves from Denver. That foul was the most impactful of the game and came to bite them at the end. All 3 free-throws were made by Denver due to him, while Taurean Prince scored zero in the game, smh.

    They gave the defending champs a tough game all 5 games so he did some things right. But I don't know if losing those leads is more about the coaching aspect or needing another piece or two.
    One thing I questioned was in game 5 when Lakers were up about eight in the third and Denver hit a couple shots, I was like he should call a timeout. Even the announcers said it. He waited until Denver went up to call one. Seeing their pattern was outscoring the Lakers in the 3rd, I felt he should have tried to stop that run. But on the outside looking in, it seemed they may have got it right one more year with him.

      Actually Ham didn’t stick with the same lineup and that was one of his many mistakes. He kept benching Reaves and Rui for Cam Reddish and Taurean Prince, so they weren’t able to build on their chemistry from last year.

      When the team leads most games then blows leads, that’s all in the players? How do you let a guy beat you with a game winner AFTER A TIMEOUT the exact same way he beat you 3 games earlier? Sounds like the coach’s problem to me.

    Nothing stopped Michael Jordan from making an epic NBA return in 2001. For two consecutive seasons, MJ played his guts out and competed at the highest level. The desire to win was evident which led to some fans wondering why Jordan didn't continue playing.
    History states that Jordan retired on his own free will in April 2003 but while that could be true, it appears that there was more to it than meets the eye. According to a report from CBS News, then Washington Wizards owner Abe Pollin cut Jordan because apart from failing to lead the team to the playoffs, “His Airness” caused a lot of negativity within the organization.

    When you lose by 2pts in a road elimination game against the defending NBA Champions, especially after shooting 18/27 from the free throw line, some need to reconsider the whole picture when it comes to playoff futility.
    It is absolutely unacceptable for a collective team to shoot 66.7% from the free throw line in the playoffs.

      Especially when you get 27 freaking free throws! Which is about 20 more FTs than the opposing team averages against them.
