We've lost a lot of close games this season, I hope this team learns how to finish before the season is over. IMO we are beyond due to win another tight game.

Terrible.

This free flowing system just too careless right now.
I’m sure Darvin is kicking his own ass right now.
Live and learn......


How many times is he allowed to screw up and “kick himself”? I don’t even want to hear it from him again. That was just plain stupid ……again!



Darvin’s 43rd game as an HC.
Versus Doc lol


It is what it is. Darvin is building just as much as Max Christie

We basically fired Vogel and hired Ham because Ham makes Russ feel good.

Lol

And that idiot Ham will say “I could kick myself for not calling the timeout….”
Blah blah blah
You suck dude!!!
Crappy hire.
Fire Pelinka, sell the team Jeanie.
What a mess.

Yes, I know guys are injured but those are two games we sucked down the stretch from CRAPPYASS COACHING!!!

14 seconds, no timeout.
AND WE HAD TWO TIMEOUTS LEFT!!!

Is Ham that stupid? Looks like it.

Still virtually tied for the 10th play-in slot, and only 2 losses from 6th seed. Just gotta get the horses back and close L becomes a W. Hope for optimism

Lebron was the best player this game. We just dont have a competent coach and that will always screw this team in the end.

Embiid is better than bron. Impacts more. That’s why the MVP list has his name next to Luka. Bron is really good though.

When Russ bubble the ball at the 6 second mark, someone has to call that TO. The entire last possession was Russ trying to iso on their best defender….. we had 2 timeouts left. What kind of (bleep) play was that?

The Pelicans sent their scouting staff to Europe, to scout Victor. That says it all.

Russ played a solid game, and came up big defensively on Philly’s prior possession.

This one is on Ham. He’s the coach. These games are a chess match down the stretch. COACH THE F*ING TEAM!

It’s not like we had them in transition. Russ in the half court with Embiid guarding him. At least pretend to coach and call a timeout.

I didn't say Lebron is better overall. I said Lebron was better this game. And he was. Impact wise stats wise whatever wise.

Embiid has the much better roster to complement him.

I'm not sure why people are this irate. Granted, I would have like to see a timeout called. But, I honestly don't think it would have made a huge difference. We are not a good half court offensive team. That's why we struggle immensely when the game slows down, whether we're behind, or ahead. I don't have confidence that we would have gotten a good look, even if we had called a timeout.

It is what it is.

No he wasn’t. Less flashy sure.

Two "coulda, shoulda" games in a row. From the coach, on down, the team have to do better.

I mean i am not shocked. Ham gives me Nash vibes to be honest. Sure we aren't a good half court team but Ham made sure we were dead before we even tried anything. We had 2 timeouts we could have gotten something better than THAT.

It's awful coaching but i've come to expect that from Ham.

Westbrook trying to iso a perennial DPOY candidate.

Yes, Mr. Ham f'd up. But no worries. He'll just admit that he f'd up during his post game and everybody will be so sympathetic and forget about it.

No. He would hate it if we won. He will sit against the next top team we play. He had to play tonight because of missing nuggets game.

I think's it's more Ham being a rookie head coach, than being a bad coach. I understand the logic behind how the last play unfolded. The Lakers are best in transition, and Russ got the rebound and pushed the ball in an attempt to take advantage of the Sixers before they set their defense. Embiid on Russ would usually be advantageous for us. The problem was, it was the closing seconds of the game, when the refs swallow their whistle. The defense can get away with extra stuff, which I believed happened. Though, to be fair, that last attack by Russ wasn't the best decision. I won't put it all on Russ, or Ham. The whole team just stood there, looking at everything happen. This is a team thing. Bad execution has been a season long issue.
