  1. ThaEternalLearner

    The Pels remembered the beating from the IST tournament

  2. Significant_Night_65

    Ham has absolutely no mandate to continue as the coach

  3. everythingp1

    These fuckers other than AD, AR and Bron better be walking back to LA.

    Pathetic.

  4. tokyo_bee

    MIA, MEM, LAC, TOR, PHX – next 5 games – all at home. Lakers winning which game(s)?

  5. WayneOnABeat

    Most engaged I seen ham all game was congratulating the pelicans coaching staff and players

  6. Js_On_My_Yeet

    Another Darvin disaster class to end the year lol
    I’m done watching Lakers basketball until this coach is gone

  7. CockroachForeign6419

    We had what was suppose to be our best defensive lineup at the beginning and Ham still switches to zone like 4 mins in and CJ McCollum goes on to hit like 4 of his 6 threes in 2 mins, How is this dude still a coach????

  8. incorruptible61

    I know Ham isn’t the only reason this team sucks but he’s definitely one of them. He’s not head coach material.

  9. Elite_Alice

    Just over this season honestly man. We not winning shit. 1 ring in the bron AD era. Weā€™re on our way back to obscurity soon as bron leave. Just a waste of bronā€™s last great years

  10. mikedanktony

    Weā€™ll be good once ariza, nunn, and vincent come back right?

    (*Iā€™ve ran out of copium*)

  11. VerticalClearance

    That lineup with christie,wood,schfino without lebron/AD late in the 3rd is a war crime

  12. Bahamut727

    Fuck yā€™all Stanā€™s thinking weā€™re contenders beating the hornets

  13. StoneColdAM

    Think itā€™s time to fire Ham. Outside of the Hornets game, weā€™d be on a big losing streak. Weā€™re losing games to contenders. Heā€™s starting to lose the locker room and isnā€™t changing his ways. Hope the Lakers are looking for a replacement just in case.

  14. DoYouEvenLifto

    AD, Bron & Reaves are the only ones who look like they even give a single fuck on the court. Team can’t shoot for shit on 3 pointers and give another 50% from 3 game because we run TRASH zone defense. I literally don’t know how this team is even .500 to begin with.

    1. Can’t shoot a 3 ball
    2. Every team is 2016 Steph vs us on 3
    3. Can’t offensively rebound even though our TRASH shooting gives us plenty of chances.
    4. Every team is able to snatch a million offensive boards for 10-15 extra points per game.
    5. Destroyed every game in 1st quarter making every game an uphill battle.

    Literally so many holes to fill I don’t even see how this team goes past 1st round. Would take last years trade deadline glow up times 3 to make up for it. Last year Russ was the MASSIVE hole in the ship we needed to plug and everything went uphill from there. I legit don’t see anyway were getting out of this.

  15. hojibryantfromthelak

    Lakers got beat by cj and Alvarado. Fucking pathetic. Same team they beat by 40. No effort no heart they just wanna go home

  16. Top-Consequence-911

    I’m at the point where I’m expecting losses, but at least entertain me. These guys just blow.

  17. Hour_Insurance_7795

    Letā€™s just be honest hereā€¦the players donā€™t give a shit until February or soā€¦then theyā€™ll turn it on once they absolutely ā€œhave toā€. It sucks, but itā€™s just the way it is. Itā€™s not a coincidence that we kicked ass in the portion of the season that ā€œmatteredā€ so far and have sucked in all the other games. We just donā€™t give a shit (yet).

  18. Sjohnsa526

    I think that Russ trade truly killed the championship window for this team. Gave up way too many solid rotation players and they haven’t really been able to bounce back since. Now they’re relying on dudes that should probably be out of the league or at the end of the bench to produce

  19. Man I honestly thought this season was going to be fun damn i was wrong

  20. Haunting_You_5855

    ESPN called us a 41 win team. Nailed it. At the time I thought weā€™d be better but the line is the line for a reason.

  21. OldManBrom

    b2b road game, D’Lo Gabe and Cam out, Rui injured after 8 min, AD in foul trouble, Bron playing sick. Always gonna be a L but at least the team fought hard. Let’s start 2024 strong with the home stand and move up the table. Happy New Year everyone! We whine too much oftentimes lol but glad to have this space to talk Lakers ball.

  22. Electronic_Bit9495

    DARVIN HAM JUST BLAMED OUR FAILURE ON HEALTHY GET THE FUCK OUT OFNHERE BRO

  23. Physical-Lie-345

    Lakers are playing similarly to last season at this point of the year. Lakers were 19-21 at the 40 game mark last year with Westbrook. This FO has been clueless for quite sometime. They asked around the league for an up and coming coach and ended up with an inexperienced one.

    They still haven’t addressed shooting the past few years while leaving AD as the only reliable big out of the bigs. **Lakers need some serious trades but Ham and FO are the real problem.** Tbh, the season isn’t over, but It’ll come down to the right acquisitions. If not, this is pretty much it.

  24. Large_Mango

    Top 4 players scored 89 points in 142 minutes

    Rest of team – 7 players – scored 20 points in 98 minutes

    Youā€™re gonna have a bad time

  25. BennyBoyGreene

    Well, at least weā€™re no Grizzlies. From 2nd seed to bottom feed.
