Not to mention this team was obviously 10x better than the Kings with a bigger lineup on the floor. But no Mr.Pockets decides to run small once again

Fire Ham to the fucking moon

I know this mf was in special education. I just know it. That face. Those roster decisions. The not feeding AD. 0 offensive execution. What a waste of a decent roster. Singlehandedly ruining Lakers basketball. The Westbrick of NBA coaches. Bald headed pos. Who hired this guy? Bald headed stupid mf.

I’m pretty done with Gabe Vincent already honestly

I don’t EVER want to see anyone give praise to Ham the basketball terrorist

play small, can’t rebound and can’t hit an open shots. GG

No Wood or Rui in the last quarter/last few minutes. Not sure what was he thinking. Weak offensive mindset. Just sack him alr. Hire Doc
annoyedboy671
Wow mods deleted my post calling out AD having 0 post ups last half of Q4 and all of OT. Might be banned soon. Good luck with Scam guys. Hes slow.

I have possibly the second best big man in the league. Let me stand him at the 3 point line and never feed him. Have Lebron the 40 year old hold the ball for 20 seconds doing nothing. Lets chuck 3s. Lets play smallball. Im smart. Im proving my second grade special ed teacher wrong. Durrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

we need to know what kind of questions Pelinka asked Ham during the interview and how ham answered. Because there is no way he is qualified for this job. He is way, way in over his head.

Darvin Ham never listens. Lol

Ham’s rotations and adjustments

I don’t like to complain about rotations but no substitutions with fresh legs available on the bench in the 4th or OT.

Trash as a player and so as coach
dongerlord456
Vincent made two stupid mistakes in the biggest moments of the game but DLo and Prince missed also missed several open threes from the halfway point of the fourth on. Gotta make open shots.
Hippocritisimisalive
AD got pissed late game he didn’t get it on that one possession when one of the white guys was guarding him forgot the name. Bad coaching. Bad lineups. What I don’t get the most and irks me the most is the GM pelinka gets players, diverse guards forwards tall, and coach don’t wanna try em out. Barely. Come on man get those fresh legs in there they ready to jump for the purple and gold.

They didnt capitalize on fox’s and murray’s foul troubles. Kings’ lineup on the last minutes is small but the Lakers didnt take the opportunity to go big. Open 3 point shots but didnt go in. Lost some defensive rebounds.
Lakers deserve this loss
misterhoneybunch
should have been a win 🤦🏻♂️

Why tf is Ham so in love with Gabe Vincent?? ….fuck

Three games into the Gabe Vincent experiment, and I’m out.

Rui and Wood were cooking and he took them out. I wish he would just go with the hot hand game to game. The team should ride with whoever is cooking that game. I think the starters need to change.
Honestly why not start AD at the 4 with Wood at the 5. Lets see how it goes Wood been pretty good. Got hella size START USING IT!
Bron Reaves Prince AD Wood
Bench
Gabe DLo Max Rui Hayes until Vando returns
That rotation fits better imo. Hopefully Rui can get Prince starting spot eventually.

Bowling ball head fuckface at it again. Thanks Ham.

Would it have made sense to run D’Lo, prince, Lebron, AD and either Rui or Wood against a kings team that was fast and small?
Not saying Gabe was the right call but not sure Rui or wood automatically improve things
ZacapaRocks
Gotta say, Ham didn’t help. He hurt their chances. We saw this shit last year.
Flopdo
Is it just me, or does it seem like the team is just flounder out there all the time. Like there’s no real purpose to the offense. Just 5 out 0 in motion offense w/ high single or double screen and rolls.
I watch all these other teams w/ all the great offensive movement, and sets, and just drool at what this Lakers team could do w/ a decent coach.
I want to be fair-minded here on Ham. What does he do well? Manage the locker room? I’m just trying to make sense of whether this roster can overcome Ham as a coach.

I have no idea why we signed Vincent.
He had one heroic post season and we threw the bag at him instead of keeping Dennis…
ValuableAssociate8
Sabonis was out. Any coach with a brain would have a abused the pain. It was a checkers move, not chess. D Ham standing on the sideline playing solitary and losing.
wooktar
Why tf did we fire Vogel?
brazyace43
Rui got us back in the game and we subbed him off? Put reaves back in? 1-12? Played wood for basically one quarter?

Horrible coach
What do you expect?
Horrible front office
Dlo deserved walking papers not a contract
Still ride for the lakeshow but Bron’s final years are being pissed away
Anyone with a basketball iq learned over a decade ago, you surround lebron with shooters
