Sucks to lose but not going to overreact. Win the next two and we are in a good spot. Suns should have the 4th seed locked up, so they may be resting guys on the second night of a back to back.
Lebron was the only one playing like he wanted to win in that 2nd half. From taking the Kawhi matchup to giving us any hope. Gabriel was BBQ chicken all night long
Ham will get eaten alive in the playoffs, if we ever got in.
My only good takeaway is LeBron finally finding his groove.
firehamnow
We missed 8 free throws
We lost by 7
Aside from it being a B2B game, Ham’s disgustingly awful lineups and rotations are to blame for all the Clippers runs. Not calling timeouts until down 15+ twice was all we needed to see. Keeping AD & Bamba on bench & letting Wenyen get feasted by Zubac & Powell is crazy. DNPing Bamba. Letting Wenyen & Dennis get exposed was an awful sight to see

No words for tonight. See y’all Friday.
The end of fourth made me feel better about this game, we were tired man. Let’s hope we beat the suns
This loses to the Clippers would hurt more if I actually knew a Clipper fan.
Why didn’t Mo Bamba play
Ham needs to figure out a Game Plan when AD is doubled bc our offense becomes stagnant. If this happens in Playoffs it won’t be pretty
clippers own us in the regular season fr
Wenyen would be getting 0 minutes per game on any other “contender”. AD wasn’t even a top 10 player on the court, absolutely pathetic performance.
What was the thought process in giving a rookie head coach 5 years
Rather have a literal honey baked ham as our coach
Flush it and flush the sub for a couple days, gonna be dramatic.
Games in the last 4 days: Lakers 3, Clips 0
Does this convince most Laker fans to know Ham is a shit coach. DNP Bamba when the clippers have legit big men, is kinda funny.
I knew Ty Lue would be outcoaching Ham. Ham should be grateful that LeBron is in his team lmao.
Ham playing Gabriel too long on Zubac really hurt us this game. Was Mo Bamba not cleared to play?
4 games in like 5-6 days, clippers 1st game in 4 days. It is what it is, on to the next
Can’t overreact to this game even though it feels way worse since it’s the clippers. They just came out too flat and the game was over by the end of the first half. AD’s inconsistency and Ham’s inept coaching ability will come back to bite us come playoff time. Fuck
I’m upvoting all Ham rants, posts and comments. The dude doesn’t have a good feel for the game.
Ham got outcoached so hard
Since the start of the season, Darvin has shown ineptitude and while he’s had some good moments, he’s shown it yet again tonight. No Bamba despite being available? Giving Schroder and Wenyen, both of whom struggle in big games that many minutes? I think with GOAT James on our roster and an AD who hopefully consistently shows up, we won’t be an easy out for anyone but I can’t trust Darvin to coach us through a playoff series, his rotations and decisions at key moments are normal for a rookie coach, but that’s exactly why he shouldn’t have been hired in the first place, we don’t have time for those mistakes.
Look its the 5th game of a long road trip, idk how many we’ve played in the last week while they’ve rested for 4 days. Our normal energy especially on defense definitely wasnt there.
But this is on Ham for his asinine insistence on Schroder and Gabriel tonight. Anytime he went to them the Clippers gained on their lead. Bench lineups need a ton of work because that rotation just doesn’t do well.
This guys so bad at adjusting man. What did we even get Bamba for? You see Wenyen’s clearly outsized here and we’re not even giving Mo a few minutes just to see how he fares. If not in these remaining games of the season, then when?
Notice how we made a come back once we started playing with more aggression? We’re tired, don’t overthink it. It was no one’s fault, they were just fresher then us. I would have been surprised if we actually won this game
This team has won 7 out of its last 9 games. how about everyone chills out
What a weird fucking game. LeBron had like the worst first half and the best second half of his career in the same game
Lol who gave gold to this thread???
I have absolutely zero faith in Ham making any kind of adjustments in the playoffs. Gabriel was getting cooked by zubac and he doesn’t even at least try Bamba? DS was also just unplayable today and ham refused to take him out
Wasn’t our defense post trade deadline supposed to be one of the best in the league? What happened to that? Not even just this game but against Utah last night. Our defense has been pretty abysmal lately. The only explanation I have is Lebron rejoining the lineup and just missing defensive assignments and refusing to close out. At least no one got hurt tonight, just gotta focus on these last 2 games and hope Warriors lose
Man I hope we win the next 2 and gsw lose 1 so we get the 6th seed fck the playin
I think we will win Suns and Jazz and get 6th seed. I am actually feeling relieved. Don’t let Clippers win become anything bothering. They will be doomed to be without champion for the next several years.
Hiring a first year head coach on a team with championship aspirations plus an aging LeBron is dumb af. This coach sucks at rotations. There are minutes where bron and AD are not on the floor at the same time. Watching wenyen get cooked on multiple possessions, watch how the clippers switch on dennis and score on him on every possession. Season’s not over but this coach isn’t winning us a championship. Luke walton is a horrible coach but luke walton SONS the fuck outta ham
A lot is gonna be made about it being a B2B but these Clippers just match up really well. This game was gonna be tough regardless and PG didn’t even play. No big deal let them get the suns first round and let’s get the 6 seed.
I’ve said all year and I’ll say if again, fuck Ham and Shroeder. I don’t want these bums on the team at all. Fucking losers, that’s all they do. Shroeders playstyle is straight up losing. The worst PG I’ve ever seen that has ZERO OFFENSE.
Ham is the worst coach I’ve ever seen. Mavericks better count their lucky stars they have Kidd and not this dumb meat head trash.
Pray for Darvin Ham he’s brain damaged 🙏😞
Clippers own the fuck out of us 😭😭😭
if we can’t stop bones hyland then we sure as hell can’t stop KD and Booker
may this loss be a blessing in disguise
Darvin Ham is a basketball Terrorist
Constantly losing against this team is honestly embarrassing
