It’s over.
NBA management does not want a 0-12 Lakers sweep. To save the framchise from losing following, Denver let them win. When u watch the game, it got boring like Denver intentionally let Lakers win
The lakers should bring in david blatt lol
You’re lucky that you didn’t put Hachimura on that closing end and put Prince on top of him. If you do that since game 2 you already had 3 games to 1 against Denver
Malakas Yung player Ng Lakers bobo lang coach
Lakers are Laughable
Let ham go right now
Ham and Malone togetherness on Hygiene grooming is Reality check out there on the court —- The Joker 🃏 Needs assistance daily with Showers ,The players may like Joker may need the Lume set , 💦 sweating a lot and rubbing his nose , underarms and private area with extra padding on , could be effective for Lakers shot making down the stretch ? Let's Wash those Butts like Charles Barkley says after his bar of soap 🫧🧼 got missing ? 😅
I am sure the WNBA is not having this problem with the ladies ! Stinky is a No Go !
Man get him tf outta here
Denver is going to win the series but there's nothing convincing about how they play.
We won but Ham got to go. Good guy, but we need a coach who can hold the team together when the other team makes a run. And we need a coach who will get in AD and LeBron's face when you got to. You and Phil need to get Rui Hachimura involved in the game, next to AD he is the best shooter on the team. Its not fair to wait until LeBron and A.D get cold and tell Rui its your time now. He needs to be involved from the start.
Darvin Ham is a players coach. He is a great coach that is underrated. You can tell by his mannerisms and although he may lack some coaching experience he does know how to motivate players and doesn't get caught up with Losses. I am gonna go out on a limb and write Lakers in 7. First team to come back down 3-0. It is a matter of time and will happen why not it happen for the Lakers the greatest sports franchise in the world.
He wanted that sweep bad!!
Y’all calling for HAMs job after two years??? It took Malone 9 years to get a chip in Denver ? why is that ? Sounds racist to me ??
Nuggets in 5 and it will not be close! Keep on dreaming😂
There are coaches that know and understand X’s and O’s (and not Hugh’s and kisses either!). And then there are coaches who hire staff members that are offense and defensive minded to assist them with coaching their team. I have watched Frank Vogel when he was the coach and now Darvin Ham. I cannot agree with the narrative that Vogel was better. To me it seems as if they both have the same philosophy when it comes to coaching. Neither are X, O minded guys. Lastly, it’s a full effort from all coaching staff and the players to affect the outcome they desire…
He looks so relieved that they won one
Ham looks like a guy who knows he saved his job by not Getting swept again.
Ready to be kicked in denver you are just prolonguing what is unavoidable
I’ve said this now about the difference between the two teams since the bubble til now. Denver makes shots when it comes to it and the Lakers don’t and Denver has the ability to close out defensively on the 3 pts shooters. The Lakers lose focus on defense and they give up large leads.. these games have been close.
Treating Russell and Reaves getting into the paint the same as you treat Lebron with a collapsing defense was a huge mistake. Just plain goofy not making that adjustment. Lebron had a least 10 points off of blind defender dive to the basket.
What is that bump on his head?
Malone looked pissed like last year’s final game 2 with heat where he snapped and called out the team about effort. He’s more calm and put into good words but basically said those boys weren’t coming to play at all. I see them coming out with a banger game 5 Monday
Just makes stops and Maintain your Leads..
So who is the guy that wanted Darvin Ham to be the coach? Yeah.
We beat the nugget’s with frank vogel as coach!!!
Its sweeter to close the series in your homecourt. Would you agree guys?
they relied on joker too much
Can't blame d NBA for the inseason tournament, now it's the play in all that is lowering the bar for lakers, extension lebron lol
Just hope Ham leave the job after this season, see who yall blame next, watch ,sorry for that next coach
Let’s eat the chicken nuggets !!!
Ham sandwich lived for another day 🤣🤣 he will be fired at the end . This guy is not a couch the only thing he knows just talking and lecturing 🤣🤣🤣
What’s Ham talking about his players don’t even like him.👎
I have lots of respect for both these gents! Ham has been much maligned while holding coaching duties with the Lakers.
Something tells me lebron comes back from this
They should be up 3 1
Ham has no idea why they lose and no idea why they win.
I love how everything was “fire Ham he’s the worst he’s ruined the lakers”.
Wins one game. “Oh my god!!! Build this man a statue! He’s the greatet! Thank you Jesus for Ham!”
But that is LA right? “What have you done for me lately?”
Cooked "Ham" after this series, Lakers will be looking for a new coach…
whether the series is over or not the reverence in Michael Malone’s voice for LeBron James coming down the lane is wild in comparison to saying they’re the lakers “daddy” after the Nuggets won the 2023 NBA Championship.
The Nuggets got in the bad habits of expecting the Lakers hading them over the game in 3rd quarter, this time it didn’t work that way. Game 5 will be nervy for them at home. I expect the Lakers to continue pounding them over in the paint.
it’s actually insane how much more intelligent Malone sounds about the game than Ham sounded. Ham was spouting mostly hackneyed terms, whereas Malone was dropping stats and facts. Reporter asks Ham, “does it potentially carry emotionally to game 5 finally winning against this Denver team?” And the dude’s initial response is “I choose passion over emotion… intelligence over ego.” What does that even mean LMAOOOO he’s just yapping
