  1. The GOAT adding another sweep to his accolades. Keep hanging around and you will have that record as well. But then again we know Broney will spend a couple years in the G League and then get bounced out all together.

  2. I'ma say this that guy doesn't deserve the couching job for the Lakers in the first place.

  3. Playoff mode is a thing. And now is the time. This the first round against the defending Champions no easy task at all but if cavs can beat them the Lakers can two

  4. I blame the front office imagine getting bron and ad still have no decent shooters around them after all these years

  5. Why you assuming that was a shot at Ham? He didn’t even mention him. Seems like he’s blaming himself and the team as a collective for not knowing what to do at both ends of the court

  6. Lakers fan just need to realize their roster SUCKS….. they have 2 all around players.. AD and LeBron. Everybody else is bottom tier. Reaves (great kid, from my hometown) was not worth the contract he got… the Lakers need to factory reset from top to bottom

  7. Im convinced the media doesnt watch the Lakers because how do you not see the level of incompetence Darvin Ham has

  8. Lakers traded their 3 and D guys KCP and Caruso…Denver has great chemistry on offense and scored easily coming back from large deficits

  9. Stephen A said it exactly. The only team that can beat the Lakers in the conference is Denver. They got beat last year and yet here he is still being defeated and not a win this season. HOW THE F*CK DID HE NOT HAD AN IDEA TO ADJUST TO DENVER?? ERGO HE IS A BAD COACH. Do not justify him being a newbie coach. He saw it first hand, got swept last year and this season. A lot of games played but he never had an idea to adjust

  10. Stephen A quick to forget they reached the WCF by eliminating an old GSW team and a beat up Memphis? For me a good coach is adjusting when you face a tough matchup. I just have not seen that from Darvin Ham.

  11. The fact that the past 2 years it's been almost identical type losses, leads to start but no heart to finish, says Ham just doesn't have it to make adjustments and finish games. It's not just the playoffs you see it throughout the season

  12. AD don't blame darvin ham cause he set all good plays the problem is you and your team mates cause you are in the court that playing not him. So stop blaming you're loses.

  13. These clowns clearly are not paying attention to anything going on. How can you watch that man coach and come to his defense? Clearly should not be talking basketball.

  14. I totally agree with what AD said I’ve have seening it all season. Even when winning. However, I think ADs timing was bad if in fact he was directing his comments towards Coach Ham. He could have been talking to Hamm and the “Others”…. Between the bench play and the in game decisions (use of time outs) it’s obvious that coach Hamm could do better.. LBJ and AD don’t handle clock management. Therefore I think Tim Legler saying that "most of the in game adjusting and play calling is on those 2" is enacruate. If not for LBJ and AD (especially LBJ) playing as hard and as well as they do, there would be nothing to watch or cheer for with the Lakers. There’s only so much even great coaching would change because the Lakers consistently have 2 “superstars" with little to no supporting “stars” or good players subbing in off the bench VS teams with 2 "suprestars” and 1 or 2 “stars” plus some good players subbing off the bench. That’s the main problem and difference between Denver and the lakers… LBJ and the “Others" without AD, 
    or AD and the “Others” without LBJ, would result in the western conference teams CONSISTENTLY eating the Lakers alive. They would be dead last in the conference. Bottom line is that Ham, LBJ, and AD don’t stand a chance against the better teams because they have little to no depth of CONSISTENTLY competitive players on the roster!

  15. Darvin Hamster 🐹 needs to get fired, I feel bad for Bron he needs better players around him, Lakers need allot of cleaning out to do

  16. U call out D'Lo n a reeves for not being great defenders. When has lebalco ever BN a great on ball defender?? Somehow u fail to mention that part

  17. Well you know Darvin ham (black coach) will minimize white player (Austin reeves) so that's not unexpected.

  18. This is the problem with sports. Both sides are right…Ham is not a good coach but even if they had phil jackson coaching, they still wouldn't beat the nuggets in a 7 game series.
