D'Angelo Russell Creates His Own Play For The Game Winner

Hey just wanted to say appreciate you all for the support so far. With that said, some of you have pointed out that AD was probably not saying "pick and roll" and I think you are correct. I apologize for that and thanks to those who caught that

[@Imurge]

remember. coaches jobs are only to call for time outs and subs. nothing more (in most situations)

[@Isaac_Arango]

​@Imurge no, they also have to create plays and know when to sub in a player, which Ham doesn't know how to do. For example, he let the players make the final play in this game and he also gives too many minutes to Taurean Prince that always spams corner 3s

[@Spawnamvs]

​@@Imurge I think you should look up a coaches job description

[@red-baitingswine8816]

​​@@Imurge . Yes - to know when to call timeouts to stop the other team's momentum and plan the next possession(s) - but also to know when to present plays and when to let the players plan their own plays. . Any of the players/coaching staff can have a good idea.

I also love how, when the Bucks put Lillard on the iso with AD, Hachimura tells Reddish to switch to cover in case AD can't stop Lillard (which is exactly what happened) since there's more of a mismatch and with his verticality he can cover better the rim

[@theDanDeleon]

To all of y’all giving Ham a hard time… You gotta remember…these are pro basketball players who have been playing since they were kids. There’s nothing they haven’t seen or tried at this point. A coach is supposed to manage the stars and keep everyone level headed, including bench guys. Head coaches don’t need to tell these players anything and have game winning plays drawn up. At the end of the day, the players are the ones playing. Can’t blame the coach when you play at this high level of sports.

[@renzrovira5707]

Because Lillard is is sub standard ball screen defender and coupled that with Lopez' drop, it created enough space for Russell to ice the game...

[@theemotionalremix]

Misdirection. Dlo didn't want Lopez to block his shot so they had to make sure Lopez stayed glued to Hachimura. With Lopez on Hachimura and Lillard on Dlo, it was much easier for the Lakers to score.

[@karlrichmondbtan]

People are clowning Darvin Ham for saying "what we got" like he does nothing. While its funny, lemme just put into perspective that in that position where Dlo is cookin with hot oil, it was a good thing that the coach asks "what we got" first to assess whether the player has an idea of a winning play since he clearly has the feel for the game. Should Dlo not have answered correctly or was confused as to why he was being asked then Ham can give out plays. This was just (i believe) an example of letting people who are hot cook.
