LeBron will be back but Ham and Russell are finished as Lakers 💜✌💛
In all honesty, this laker squad is too talented to lose the series to Denver again in the playoffs. The lakers got all the right pieces to win a.championship , they truly need a head coach with that it factor, schematically soundminded offensively and defensively and the importance of guarding the 3 point line , consistency of game to game not a drop off ,a true head coach recognizes this. There was no way Austin Reaves should have been left out there one on one with Murray ,a great coach would make the necessary on the spot in game adjustment .Im not hating on Ham but cmon he is.just not a HEAD coach. Rob Pelinka,please just fire Ham.Its been 2 years of the same ol wasted opportunity
Reeves where was the ICE in your veins you preach all season on those 2 Key missed shots in final 3 minutes that cost Lakers the season ?
Denver Ron Gutterman!!
next year we will be able to beat denver.but timberwolves gonna be the new nuggets lmao.
Really Shawn they need more? They literally have been up by 20 in like three of the games. They only lost by one bucket and if they would’ve had Vanderbilt, most likely a lot of these things would’ve been a bit different. Why do guys like you want to change everything when just a few tweaks here and there is all you need what I saw was a coach that was lost in space.I think it’s the coach that needs to change and maybe bring another piece but I don’t believe you have to up in the whole group because they were missing Vanderbilt and didn’t have their best defender.
This entire off season should be defensive rotation drills and rebound box outs and nothing else. The amount of times guys just lose their assignment was mind blowing.
Dejaunte Murray makes 27 mill a year, 6 5 6 10 wingspan can guard murray, hit the 3 handle the rock, shot make. Quick elite defender! He is the 3rd guy lakers need to get not trae or donovan
1-2 Cancun!
Plan and simple, make your free throws and you WIN.
Hold the Ham add the Max Reddish add some Wood to the flame and mix in some Nuggets and you have a smoked team
😢
Reaves was getting cooked all series long by Jamal
PLEASE UNDERSTAND TRAE YOUNG IS NOT THE LAKERS SOLUTION
A tactical & smart coach is very much needed when your team consist of multiple assets with different skill sets
Phil Handy survives the chopping block because he’s a extension of Bron and a damm good skills coach
No cap if lakers make their free throws they woulda won this game🤦🏾♂️
We did not meet the challenge this year I am disappointed in the outcome however it was a pleasure to expierience it with Lakers Nation. See y'all next year. May the force be with You!
I’m still proud of our guys they went out on their shields 🛡️ 🫡🫡🫡💯
I’ve come full circle on Ham but have always felt that Pelinka needs to go. Ham should stay. Pelinka is a sports agent who doesn’t know how to put the pieces together. Contrast him to Jerry West.
If you think it's even one besides LeBron fault you're foolish as hell
Were 1 turnover. Or 1 rebound, or 1 layup away from beating this team time after time. Trade AD, cut Ham. Pelinka on the hot seat lol, yeah right.
Do we think the fact that we won the in season tournament when everyone else wanted to win it means something? Ham not perfect but not only problem.The roster is flawed. We need more big 2 way players. Would love to draft Zach Edey this year to help AD.
3rd Q stretch no timeout was ridiculous. But you call it when you're down 3?
Run it back with a healthy Vando, AR, Lebron, AD, Vincent. Get rid of DLo, Ham, Dinwiddie and get a legit center.
Dlo thinking he has some huge advantage over the Lakers but who you think you are bro?😂😂😂 He was "good" ONE GAME out of 5. Count the past playoffs and he was good in 1 out of 9 games😂😂😂
Bro thinks he is going to get 30M or something, boy you barely are a 20M. He is a regular season player, no one will pay him more.
Lakers did Frank Vogel dirty and left a bad impression throughout the nba. Need to be careful how they handle Darvin ham in my opinion. May impact future coaches.
Sean should get ZERO opinion on coaches going forward
Trevor & Sean going on about if they took 5 minutes of Dinwhistles minutes to Reaves he would've made the difference. 😑🙄Yet it was Reaves who just flew by Murray covering him on D on the game winning shot. 😜🤣AD just delicate af…runs into another player & crumples over in pain. 🥺😫
It's comical after all the Ham not using time outs whining…that he wasted his last one on a review & trash Lakers were stuck playing the last 3+ minutes without one. 😅As usual…missed FT's…missed rebounds. No wonder Lakers are trash.😜
At least they are finally out of their misery
So much for Dopey Darvin "cracking the code"
lol
Can we admit gabe was terrible or is everyone going to keep saying he moves his feet decent lmao the bar is so low
Imagine signing Gabe Vincent instead of Dennis Schroeder
I bet Austin Reaves said "we need to be coached"
Bron needs to call paul george. He'd be better than trae.
Still glad they faced the Nuggets. If the Lakers could figure them out the rest of the league was in trouble.
Nobody bothered MPJ not even AD your being unfairly biased about your small opinion
Ham needs to go, and hopefully we can get bron to decline his option to sign a cheaper deal. This team is good enough to make a few tweaks, and we need to add a defensive minded center to let AD roam, and give us some easy points.
Lebron James is the updated basketball version of Nolan Ryan. The dude is going to be around forever.
Unfortunately you two have regressed back to last summer where Austin is him. Get over it. Name one last second shot AR made last night
So AR has to get back in to miss a last second heave. Are you listening to yourselves
I don't get it Trevor need all the weapons he can get. We were just short on wide receiver last year. 🤔🤔
What about 3.9 and Lebron doesn’t get off a shot he passes it
Where was AR he took off down the other side of the court
AR missed two huge free throws
Rui was being picked and MPJ got loose. I’m going to count how many times he scored on other players
We need to fired out GM Roberry Pelinka first and Mr. Hamburger then overhaul everybody except AD, LBJ, AR, Vando, Prince and Vincent – Take Lively and Gafford, Murray, Miles Bridges, Daniel, Reid… Let Phil Handy take the shot for Head Coaching
Our trainers need to be fired with Darwin. We're always 🤕 hurt.
HAM is a joke since day one! But we all know why he was employed! Lakers Management and Owners are a joke!
