When asked why the Lakers didn’t involve Rui more in the 2nd half, a frustrated DLo said “he rather not go there with it”

    A few minutes later, Dlo also praised Mike brown and said ” i know how good a coach he is” . Dlo not happy with Ham.

  2. D’los decision to publicly attack the coach is likely to ruin the rest of the season. One of my main concerns about him was that he doesn’t have a winning mentality and thinks of himself as too much of a star for us to compete for championships. I’d put those concerns aside and been rooting for him during this recent stretch. But now that he’s had some good games he’s out here running his mouth. Honestly, it’s cancerous, and if he keeps it up I hope he declines his option and signs elsewhere.

    Because Darvin sucks balls. We already know this. We’re gonna waste another season of Lebron because Darvin fooled us with 1 series vs GSW

    Welp this is definitely not a good sign

    This team is a ticking time bomb if we do not make the playoffs

    Rui had that mismatch all game long. Monk, Ellis, Fox guarding him in the post. Ham needs to do a better job of exploiting it.

    Dlo barely touched the ball in the 2nd half too. Both him and Rui were iced out on the offensive end during the 2nd half.

  8. Why is this dude keep running his mouth passive aggressively?

    Either say what you feel or nothing at all. You’re not that dude and never will be.

    Y’all remember when Rui started getting it gojng last season then Ham benched him for the whole game last season? Am I remembering that right?

    that ESPN article could not have come at a worse time

    Darvin stinks and Dlo also stunk it up tonight/ whole team did pretty much

    Lakers need to stop hiring inexperienced coach and hire an experienced coach

    Knew that article had to have some effect. The team should cut their losses and get rid of Ham if the team turns on him. Worried we’ll go back into that December skid when things seemed toxic. The Lakers’ front office reputation with coaches is already damaged. Keeping an unfitting coach until the end of the season won’t change it. Just make Handy the interim.

    I’m saying man we woulda had a better shot at this game if we allowed Rui to continue playing his game in the second half. Ham rarely seems to have his finger on the pulse of the game. When Rui is on he can win you games damn near by himself. Bro basically got frozen out of the offense.

    I just know Ham has something against Rui.

  16. Soviet_Sharpshooter

    We just gotta say fuck it and fire Darvin Ham 20 games before the playoffs. I don’t even know what the point of continuing the season with him is if nobody feels they can win with him.

    The way Vando was playing before he got hurt I think he deserved to be in the starting line up but Rui is not the guy I would replace him with. I would rather have Reaves otb as a 6th man cuz tbh while Vando is no sniper he is a god like on the defensive end and he can chase around anybody and turn it into offense, he was beating guys off the dribble and even starting to hit 3s and was barely missing a shot he was that efficient putting it together. Vando as a utility weapon would be so deadly. Reaves has more familiarity and a clear cut role otb with Rui he is just another guy otb and what he can really do doesn’t get shown at all with that role. But I still let Reaves close.

    Starters should be

    DLO Vando Bron Rui AD

    Also, Dinwiddie needs to have more of a green light to play his natural game on the floor as a passer which he hasn’t been bad at but as a scorer he can score the ball and look like a star he is only 30 he is still young and in his relative prime. Dinwiddie role is play d and pass but he can provide more to this team and is barely looking to slash.

    Dinwiddie Reaves Max/Prince Wood/Hayes

    Why didn’t Ham just tell Dlo to take over? Is he stupid?

  19. Immediate_Candidate5

    Pretty sure the players are giving up on Darvin Scum cuz he doesn’t even have the qualifications to be even a interim head coach. They hired him for one reason: deal with Westbrook
