When did YOU realize Darvin Ham needed to be fired?



For me, it was this one.

  1. Game 1 against Denver thinking 3 guard lineup made sense against Murray / KCP / Porter Jr

    Probably the first few games of this season is when I realized he didn’t really learn much from his mistakes last season and is doing the same shit still

    I first got an inkling of it last year when he DNP’d Rui against Chicago.

    It was solidified for good in game 2 against golden state when he refused to go away from hedging Steph’s ball screens despite every analytics model for the last decade showing that hedging Curry’s ball screens is the easiest wway to get absolutely pummelled. Even with that, I held out hope we could win in spite of him.

    Then came this year’s Philly game, and I’m now confident we cannot proceed in any capcity with him on top. The secret was FULLY out that doubling from the baseline was the only way to double Embiid’s post touched without getting murdered, and yet he didn’t just not do that, HE CHOSE THE WORST POSSIBLE OPTION (doubling from the passer).

    I’m completely and totally out on this team, regardless of any trades we make, until Ham’s gone. He is so incompetent it makes me genuinely feel like we’dd be better off with Bron player coaching.

    Right there’s literally no coach better than Ham if we were to fire him. Lmfao no one actually believes that right ?

    Last fucking year. Been saying he’s shit from day 1 and I just get downvoted to hell for it. “Who’s gonna replace him?” literally fucking anyone with a mild coaching degree.

    During the timeout when LeBron snatched that clipboard away from his ass and drew up a play his damn self.

    Tonight was the final straw for me.. enough is enough.

  8. Tried giving him the benefit of the doubt last year, cause he had the balls to bench Westbrook. Lost faith in the WCF when he rolled out the 3 guard lineup and had reaves guarding a 6′ 10″ MPJ.

    The small 3 guard lineups last season in the regular season then game 1 vs Denver

    The first time this guy didn’t call a timeout during a 15-0 run and then called one in the middle of his own players free throws

    Then i said he was a bottom 5 coach, thought he got better in the playoffs only to go full basketball retarded game 1 of the Denver series. Said he should be fired for Udoka or Nurse in the off-season and people said that Nurse sucked and Darvin led us to the WCF lol

    When we got blasted by the sixerrs earlier this year

    Not all good assistants make good head coaches. You would’ve thought we’d learn after Luke

    5 games into the season when our offense looked terrible and the effort waxed and waned. But then I told myself, perhaps it is too early to judge and maybe it will get better.

    The best thing that happened for Ham and the worst thing for the Lakers is the IST. The IST games provided the extra juice for the guys to try and play better, masking the fact that Ham wasn’t doing it for them on regular season games.

    When I saw him pull a starting lineup of DLo, Reaves, and Schroeder against the Nuggets in Game 1, and when he refused to pull DLo until Game 4 of the series. I don’t doubt he’s a good motivator, but doesn’t know the basic of being a coach like effective timeout usage, effective lineup decisions, plays after timeouts, and an offense THAT CAN GET AD THE GODDAMN BALL! His stubbornness is my last straw with him cause it constantly puts us into the hole. He’s not the main issue in my opinion, but goddamn it he’s one of our big issues.
