Chris really said the Lakers were "one of the best teams in the league" with Darvin Ham… making it to the playoffs through the play in LITERALLY means you were far from one of the best teams in the league
Rob Parker is the same person who said Kyle Shanahan, Dan Campbell and John Calipari should be fired, who all have achieved more than Ham. Now hes acting like its a crime against humanity for the lakers to fire Darvin Ham…absurd
Every year that LeBlame James continues to play, he further exposes how far away from the GOAT conversation, he is.
Lakers evaluating success quite differently than other 29 franchises because they are Lakers
Being a good coach isn't binary. You may be able to solve a defensive scheme for one team without figuring out another. You may design a great rotation in one series and not another. Some coaches are "defensive minded coaches" others are not. Very few coaches are great at everything or even most things.
Wrong guy got fired….LACHINA SHOULD BE THE ONE FIRED
If lebron is making all the decisions and hes old and cant win why dont the lakers move him …im asking if hes at fault?
Lebron picks his coaches and when they dont win, they say Lebron never had a great coach. Lebron picks his team mates and when they dont win they say, Lebron doesnt have help. When you point out that he picked the coaches and players they say, its the team's fault because they could say no. After the team depletes and destroy its future to please Lebron, he leaves because the team cannot win now (with the pieces he picked, that cost the team everything)
I think they know Darvin wasn't the biggest problem overall, but it was the biggest problem they could change. So I understand it. I would say the last coach for the bucks, but I heard his real issue was not catering to Giannis brother; so, if they gon get bronny, then they already know it's gon be an issue there.
If you think Darvin was a good coach you didn’t watch not one lakers game yall just like to make narratives bout Bron
If LeBron hadn't moved around so much, he might have paired up with the perfect coach. As a matter of fact, if he could have stood in Miami, he might have had two more rings
🔥
There is so much rigging, cheating, manipulating going on with the Lakers the last several years, to get them to pad their win total, and to make it look as if they're still the Showtime Lakers……gtfoh….
It won’t be JJ. Bron just said his mind hasn’t been on playing with brony much lately. Lakers will make brony the coach since his basketball career doesn’t look that bright. And brony can’t tell his dad what to do so lebron will be the real coach 😂🤣
Darvin Ham became the scapegoat so the LeBron glazers could stay happy.
The problem, which it always is…is Lebron James. He is always going to be the problem if he constantly placated to. At some point, the ownership as a collective need to tell this dude the stfu. But his influence is far reaching for some reason. It isn’t because he enhanced the game. He’s actually made the NBA less watchable as the face of the league. Coaches have no authority anymore. Big big problem.
Lue probably doesnt want to seal with the mess with the Lakers and he and ballmer probably discussing a plan that doesnt include russ, kawhi, harden and pg. Yall just trying to get lue to the lakers..typical
Why lbj problem when it was ad cried
While giving blame LBJ .
He could be retiring. Then who blame for firing
The glamour of the LAKERS is gone by keeping LEBRON around…yes the clippers need to blow it up. LEBRON is just buying time in L.A. The glamour is back in NEW YORK. That was an enjoyable series to watch.
Charlotte out here taking strays 🔫😢
Bron is a coaches nightmare. Pat Riley told him Im not firing Spolstra they went to 4 straight finals. The Lakers keep trying to change the results without changing the formula. Its a bad formula. They lost to Denver 4-1. Bron gets credit for the 1 win Darvin gets held responsible for the 4 losses. BS.
There's No Way I Would Coach Cry Baby Lebron James Who Blames Everyone But Himself.
Let’s be honest LeDiva wanted the coach gone this is the same thing that happens on every team except the Heat where he tried to get the Coach fired and Pat Riley said no you can look that up, This is the behavior or Lebron who ya’ll said is number 2 all time which I strongly disagree with
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR BEST PLAYER GROWING UP WAS THE ONLY CHILD…
PEOPLE THAT ARE THE ONLY CHILD WANT EVERY THING THERE WAY…
THIS IS WHY LEBRON ACT LIKE A 39YR SPOIL CHILD…BECAUSE HE WAS ONLY CHILD THAT ALWAYS GOT HIS WAY TILL HE MET PAT RILEY 😂😂😂
PAT RILEY TOLD LEBRON..
I RUN THE SHOW IN MIAMI…😂😂 SO PAT RILEY GAVE LEBRON HIS FIRST L IN GETTING THE COACH'S FIRED…
HE IS NOW 4-1 IN GETTING COACH'S FIRED
Lakers are a dumpster fire
Darvin Ham fired 81 days before his birthday sounds like a Kobe Bryant ritual
Lebron needs a scapegoat. JJ Redick is next they will say he was inexperienced when they lose in the first round
Ham deserved to be fired real Lakers fans know wassup
This is the ninth coach lebron have gotten fired.
I fell out of my chair when Chris was saying the Lakers are one the best teams in the league… no they’re not. Their record is what we thought. They were a borderline playoff team that likely would’ve gotten beaten by any of the real top teams in the west.
Darvin didn't miss a wide open 3 in game 2 to win the game. I don't like the Lakers, so it's all good. Bottom feeder for 10 years is good news to me.
lol you guys just said flakers organization shouldn’t have fired D Ham…..so why would Lue want to go over there? SMH……Clipps going into new arena and got a Awesome owner, he’s probably staying with the clipps…
Who wants to coach a 50 year old LeBron James…lol
THIS IS SAD THE LAKERS TURNED INTO A POOP SHOW WHERE MAJIC AT SPECK CLOWN TALK ABOUT HOW THAT BUM FROM AKRON CAME AND K8LLED YOUR TEAM AND STILL KILLING THEM CUSS THEY GONNA DRAFT HIS BUM ASS SON THIS YEAR AND YOU AND EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD KNOW THAT BOY NOT READY WYA MAJIC SPEAK CLIWN WYA?
This is racist, oh wait LeFlop demand it the change so it's all good!!
So yall praise darvin ham accomplishments but when people bring up oh bron hasn’t done anything in LA the ring don’t count , but praise darvin ham’s accomplishments….im confused now
Rob and Chris are so out of touch on this take, lol. This take makes them look like deranged old men. Ham was an awful coach and any lakers fan will agree.
The Lakers ceiling was what it was, I don’t think a different coach would have elevated it in any substantial way.
Another example of why lebron cant be top 10
These two dont understand basketball. all they know how to do is bitch and moan.
Chris really went from a God fearing man to a LeBron fearing man!! This is sad
LMAO why didn’t they talk about game 3 lol??? When ham played THE ONLY C lakers had on the team for ZERO MINS vs Denver in game 3 and guess what game was that??? The Aaron Gordon 20 rebounds game .😭
And you trynna say lakers are trynna scapegoat him💀 dude is a horrible coach and they know it 😂
He was pretty bad. Obv the players have lots of responsibility as well- but like u said, If they faced OKC or basically any other team besides the Nuggs or Wolves, they prob would have won. So, remember when Ham was giving all those minutes to Prince & Reddish? & let DLo, Reeves, & Rui sit on the bench? That was when they had their 3-10 part of the season. If he played a normal, good lineup, they prob wouldn't have dropped all those games & hade to play Denver.
Guy blew a bunch of other games w bad closing lineups & poor late game decisions. Was real slow to adjust till it was too late. anyway, they should def move on from him. I'm not even a lakers fan & i see all this bs
chris do not even watch the games. CHRIS SAID ITS NOT LIKE THE LAKERS ARE ONE OF THE WORST TEAMS IN THE NBA. AND THEY ARE ONE O THE BEST TEAMS IN THE NBA.
lakers were ranked 10th in the west. and barely made the play-in tournament.
these news folks are so toxic.
Fire Lebum!
I feel like they have talked about this enough. If Ham is that good he should have no problem getting another job as HC. Can we move on? 😂
They shouldve fired Lecancun! They should hold Leblame accountable! He always takes glory when winning!? But when losing its everyones fault not him!
