We owe this guy an apology or two. MFs like me went from considering him the basketball equivalent of ISIS to thinking of him as a sports genius. The schizophrenia is real.
His first year as head coach and going to western finals. Man this guy deserves so much more respect
rejectx
My dude looked like Luke Walton during the regular season, but now he is like Phil Jackson. What a bamboozle.
hansislegend
He was just load managing his coaching for the playoffs.
SnapsOnPetro45
Heās not Darvin Scam anymore but he definitely needs to keep listening to us
Vexing_Pie
Anyone else liking this coaching staff now? The Jent, Ham, and Handy trio have grown on me. Handy is the best player development coach in the league and connects with all our players. Jent is a great X and Os assistant and Ham brings grit/motivation to the team as well as strong defense. I mean weāve come back from a lot of tough situations and part of that is Ham sparking fire in the players .
marshmelo24
I’m convinced this man was trolling all season long
DGVega93
I told yāall he was gonna be in his bag tonight. Out coached Kerr!
ActuaryExtension9867
He was dealt a bad hand until the trade deadline. Started cooking as a coach when he got the personal.
CradleRockStyle
The first rookie head coach to go to the conference finals in 30 years, I think.
EDIT: Sorry, I meant the Western Conference finals, not just any conference final.
brianbrainbrian
He out coached Kerr, a championship calibre coach
That’s all you need to know
solid_rook7
Fire this maā¦ err.. I mean pay this man!
KarrotMovies
People were saying, if we make WCF, it’s in spite of him. I totally disagree. He’s been doing a fantastic job this postseason
mclovin1696
Iām sorry coach š perdoname!
MiikeP
Good job Coach.

LeBron taking another rookie coach to a championship would legitimately be insane.
Js_On_My_Yeet
Would have been perfect if DS didn’t eject himself. Still, that was a great fucking decision by him. He gets his credit, but he was holding on to TOs a bit too long at some points in the game. He needs to be more consistent in calling them earlier.
jeffythunders
Sorry, hammy
KingChav
I sincerely apologize, heās grown tremendously this playoff run.
_Tacitus_Kilgore_
Sorry for criticizing your 3-guard lineupā¦ turns out you just needed the right three guards! Hell of a job, coach.
quickdrawmc_graw
was unfamiliar with his game
crimsonsentinel
This series really turned my opinion on him. Great adjustments and coaching.
iKnockout
I admit I was a Ham Hater, but credit where credit is due – he made excellent adjustments and coached us through the first two rounds of the playoffs. While I would love for us to win the ring you canāt take it away from him that he coached us to the WCF in a year we started 2-10
obliterateopio
Sorry Darvin. Great adjustments made game to game. There has always been an adjustment after a loss that results in a Win. Truly living up to the ādefense firstā philosophy that was mentioned before the season started.
DirtySmiter
I’ll happily apologize for doubting Ham. The adjustments were excellent this series. Can’t wait to see how he handles Denver
BananaBossNerd
I apologize
naaahbruv
It took some time to adjust but he got there. You can imagine the immense pressure he must have felt at the start of the season
crawshay
I’m here to say I was wrong. I was out on Darvin halfway through the season. Now, we’re all the way into the WCF and the last two series were won with confidence due to his adjustments. I really love that he has the team calling out STAY HUMBLE out of the huddle in the locker room. It’s like this years version of ‘Jobs not finished’.
Mobster24
He crushed kerr. Thats all imma say
Altacct1234567890
I apologize. He’s made good adjustments that have lead to wins.

This guy plays 3d chess. Hats off to him and to his coaching staff.
GodlessKillingBear
I’m sorry.
incredibleamadeuscho
Always believed in Ham. Donāt check my post history.
He outcoached the best modern NBA coach in Steve Kerr in 6 games.
Berserkr1
Out coached Kerr. By the way he definitely looks a bit like former Killswitch Engage lead singer Howard Jones
juicewar01
Really turned the corner. Coach Ham is legit. Lets get it coach!!
theseustheminotaur
Actually a good coach.
Frost45901
He honestly did the best with what he had before the trade, but yeah heās legit.
sultan_mo
People calling him a terrorist had me crying
kylo-I-ren
Holding all the real coaching til playoffs to keep all his cards hidden
relivesa
Most definitely. WB got Vogel fired and had the fans turned on Ham.
Got Ham a squad and heās done some good stuff.
SnooTigers806
Darvin Ham is nothing if not resilient.
He was given a shit roster, hated on since day 1, and pushed through it to get this team to buy in.
He’s not the best coach in the NBA, but he has shown consistent improvements in decision making as the season has progressed. Just the difference in effort and competitive spirit of this year’s team speaks volumes compared to last year. Ham deserves his damn respect.
IskaralPustFanClub
Iāve slandered this man all season but when it matters the most heās had my pants down. Credit where itās due, heās been phenomenal in the playoffs.
EBDoo
I gotta jump in here. My sincerest apologies Mr. Ham š
Ok_Concentrate_75
I always said he would be great with a roster who buys in. I’m excited for next year regardless of how the rest plays out but still…go get a ring lol
ablackcloudupahead
He out-coached one of the greatest coaches of all time. Seriously this man is on some GOAT tier shit rn
