He just doesn't seem to offer much resistance at the rim despite his size and block numbers.

Now Pels have switched CJ back in early and taken Alvarado out but Ham hasn't adjusted yet to bring DLo and Beasley back..

This roster shouldn’t be struggling with the Zion-less Pelicans. At a certain point you start to think Ham may just be so bad you can’t field a good team with him.

He has never shown himself to be a plus player because he cannot make good decisions on defense nor on offense. It’s an absolute disgrace that the Lakers gave up Beverly to get this guy—they deserve to lose for benching Gabriel who has played extremely hard and extremely well all season long and has paired the best with LeBron all season.

Davis being 1-4 on FTs and Schroeder 1-4 will probably come back to hurt them.

Lakers not puking all over themselves even with LeBron on the bench, and even extending the lead. This is so encouraging

Feel like this team would’ve been a top 4 seed if they started the season as currently constructed. Being free of the vampire is so so good.

Ham just can't help himself.

No LeBron/AD/DLo lineups make no sense. Especially with Ingram still on the floor wtf

Lakers missed 14 free throws and only made 9 threes, but are still blowing out the Pelicans. This team's margin of error on a night to night basis has dramatically shifted from pre trades.

Looks like ham has taken Walker out of the rotation which is an excellent move.
