Leave Ham in 2023
Back to back losses hurts man
Clown show celebrating
When does the IST start?
The Pels remembered the beating from the IST tournament
This roster sucks.
Ham has absolutely no mandate to continue as the coach
Happy new years
These fuckers other than AD, AR and Bron better be walking back to LA.
Pathetic.
Trades.
MIA, MEM, LAC, TOR, PHX – next 5 games – all at home. Lakers winning which game(s)?
Most engaged I seen ham all game was congratulating the pelicans coaching staff and players
Back to .500 again like last year š
Another Darvin disaster class to end the year lol
I’m done watching Lakers basketball until this coach is gone
Me lookin at Ham
![gif](giphy|5REABrChoA5Us)
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????
**Jaxson Hayes**
Cardio ā
I know Ham isn’t the only reason this team sucks but he’s definitely one of them. He’s not head coach material.
Just over this season honestly man. We not winning shit. 1 ring in the bron AD era. Weāre on our way back to obscurity soon as bron leave. Just a waste of bronās last great years
Weāll be good once ariza, nunn, and vincent come back right?
(*Iāve ran out of copium*)
That lineup with christie,wood,schfino without lebron/AD late in the 3rd is a war crime
Fuck yāall Stanās thinking weāre contenders beating the hornets
Think itās time to fire Ham. Outside of the Hornets game, weād be on a big losing streak. Weāre losing games to contenders. Heās starting to lose the locker room and isnāt changing his ways. Hope the Lakers are looking for a replacement just in case.
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.
Lakers got beat by cj and Alvarado. Fucking pathetic. Same team they beat by 40. No effort no heart they just wanna go home
I’m at the point where I’m expecting losses, but at least entertain me. These guys just blow.
Booty ass team
Finishing 2023 exactly Mid
Letās just be honest hereā¦the players donāt give a shit until February or soā¦then theyāll turn it on once they absolutely āhave toā. It sucks, but itās just the way it is. Itās not a coincidence that we kicked ass in the portion of the season that āmatteredā so far and have sucked in all the other games. We just donāt give a shit (yet).

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
Man I honestly thought this season was going to be fun damn i was wrong
ESPN called us a 41 win team. Nailed it. At the time I thought weād be better but the line is the line for a reason.
Trade what they gotta trade at this point
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.
DARVIN HAM JUST BLAMED OUR FAILURE ON HEALTHY GET THE FUCK OUT OFNHERE BRO
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.
Actually .500 now thatās sad
Top 4 players scored 89 points in 142 minutes
Rest of team – 7 players – scored 20 points in 98 minutes
Youāre gonna have a bad time
Well, at least weāre no Grizzlies. From 2nd seed to bottom feed.
