LeBum is the problem. He's the player, the coach, and the GM, but doesnt get any of the blame. That dude stands on the court like a tree stump most of the game. lol. Start blaming LeFlop.
The issue is, the lineup that Ham finally settled on that produced winning results….. WAS THE EXACT SAME LINEUP that got them to the conference finals the year before. It took him the entire season to figure that out…. that's bad coaching
James need to leave
Lakers need a coach that will tell LeBron to shut the f*** up and sit the f*** down.
AD's comment they didn't know what was going on. Of course you don't know what's going on when you're 14/15 in game 2 then LeBron starts to walk it up the court and never again gives you the ball
Marc Jackson can get the job done
Bron is the problem. The same stuff with every team he's on with the exception of Miami. Pat wasn't playing that game. LEBRON BALL IS THE PROBLEM.!!!!!!
That’s what happens when u have LBJ
Here’s the narrative then lol Ok Lebron gonna hire JJ as a coach and have Rondo as an assistant!!!
So the Lakers is riding LeBron, watching him build up useless 50 years in the NBA stats for his cheerleaders to jump for joy about, instead of trying to construct a winning team with players that compliment each other. Fires Ham to cover-up their dumb decisions. 2020 Covid can't gift the Lakers another beat Jimmy Butler championship due to players being out from other teams. Fire Ham to coverup this team just being over hyped trash.
Ham gettin paid for chillin 😂💯 unbothered
Frank Vogel.
Lakers just trying bamboozle da fans to keep buying season tickets. Like they making moves straight up false hope
Gotdamn joke 😂 🤣 😅 😆 🤡 it's not the coach it's that clown-king y'all got over there. Biggest excuse maker and coach kill3r ever! 😂 🤣 😅 😆 🤡 🤭 😀 😁!
I remember when Perk was in love with LeBron
Please offer Coach K this job. LeBron always wanted to be coached by a great.
Why do they always blame the coach? Players need to take accountability too. LeBron is a huge influence on the team, I'm sure Darvin Ham did everything to keep him happy and ended up hurting the rest of the team.
Austin says his daddy would be the greatest Lakers coach ever
Its the coach brains and tactics but its actually the players abiity 😊😊😊
Queen James does it again! the most toxic player
U just have to do a better coaching job with LeBron, Anthony Davis and enough talent that they needed to win
more games, what was really the problem ??? And why did the Warriors do no better than the Lakers and
Clippers ???
Rivers has a point, I guess that mid season tournament doesn't mean ish either lol
5 coaches in what 6 years 😂
At the end of the day it's just basketball.
As long as Lebron is in LA the answer is no….They cant find a better coach.
Why don’t the Lakers hire lebron as the new coach. He will be the playing coach. He will be happy with him self then.
What is perk talking about
lol dismissed is a different way to say the inevitable
Man all these clowns need to shut up. From Draymond, to Reggie Miller, to Stephen A. I had to watch almost every Lakers game this season and deal with his non-existent coaching. Horrible lineups, no ability to make in-game adjustments, can't design a play to save his life, has pre-determined subs, has no ability to sense momentum shifts to call a timeout, unable to utilise the role players efficiently and so many other reasons. Almost every loss this season can be attributed to at least two of those factors. Are you telling me everything I saw was a hallucination or something? Or that I existed in a different reality? These guys don't watch any Lakers games whatsoever and instead of addressing the issue with Ham, they play the whataboutism card. Stop insulting us fans that have put up with watching this team for 82 games. The players are definitely accountable to some degree, but Ham is still BY FARRRRRRRRRRRRR the #1 problem. Honestly all Lakers needed was a good coach and a centre and I truly believe they would have taken Nuggets to 7 games.
Ham to the hornets and jj to the lakers
Reddick, Rondo, and big man coach like Patrick Ewing or Hakeem Olajawon
COACH JJ REDDICK. LEBRON HAS BEEN INTERVIEWING HIM VIA PODCAST.
When you think that going to Western Conf finals you are safe. But when you are swept and lost almost by a sweep again by the SAME TEAM definitely you'll be fired!
How many teammates and coaches have to be thrown under the bus the protect Lebrons Mediocre skill level? Good luck Lakers, they’re gonna need it for the next 6-7 years while rebuild the franchise after Lebron leaves.
Perk you kept it 💯… everyone Else on panel full of bull#%^*
It is the players fault
Le Diva 😅
Dwight Howard head coach
STOP TALKING ABOUT THE LAKERS THE ARE ELIMINATED
Jj reddick
Breaking news : The Lakers have hired Doc Rivers !!!!!! Championships on the way !!!!!!!!!
This hire shouldn’t had happened a rookie head coach coaching a team with 2 hall of famers trying to make a championship run. The lakers needed a veteran head coach.
Austin Rivers is a nepo-baby. Has no right to be spewing his nonsense on national tv.
is austin rivers on a team?
It should be mark Jackson’s and rui suck
Lebron: the GOAT coach killer
I Agree, NEW COACH PLEASE.
