[McMenamin] D’Angelo Russell said the Lakers’ miscommunication on defense hurt them tonight against the Nets and added: “Obviously Jacque Vaughn’s a hell of a coach. He’s drawing up sets and putting them in position to take advantage of any miscommunication or mishap on our end.”

DLO complimenting his future coach
Hot Pockets!
Lmao. Dude they literally lost 14 out of their last 17 games. Worst fucking excuse man holy fuck
I feel like D’Lo is just clowning at this point
The bigger issue no one is talking about. As long as Darvin Ham is head coach, this is not going to be a destination where players want to come. Pat Bev said it best when he said he was misused. This dumbass coach misuses everyone and doesn’t put them in a position to succeed. He can’t even run consistent plays or adjust he just flat out sucks.
Meanwhile our coach has his hands in his pockets wondering when cam reddish will be available….
Not a single player on this team respects Ham.
Even Cam, he played into the ground through injury.
This feels like the most blatant callout on Ham from a player yet, no? And there’s been more than a few.
This is such a blatant diss on Ham
“He’s drawing up sets and putting them in position to take advantage…”
Dlo on his way out providing the best entertainment value!
Calling ham out like he should be!
I didn’t know coaches call up plays to make their guys not get beat off the dribble.
D’Lo Ham is also drawing something inside his pockets, you just can’t see it.
DLo speaking in not so subtle code lol… putting them in position to take advantage (unlike my coach) lol
Everyone been passive aggressive against Darvin Ham in post game interviews 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Y’all are overreacting… Dlo was on the Nets at one point lol
“Obviously Darvin Ham is not a hell of a coach. He’s not drawing up sets nor putting us in a position to take advantage of any miscommunication or mishap on their end”
That “drawing up sets” line was crazy. Players are practically begging the FO to fire Hamas at this point.
DLO don’t care, he gone soon.
Shots fired, Ham to oblivious to notice
One thing that frustrates me so much is that it seems part of our scheme is to emphasize helping the paint to stop drives even when AD is on the floor. I feel like there were so many simple kickout threes that Nets made today on drive attempts that probably wouldn’t even have been close or would have been nicely contested by AD anyway. Obviously this could look good against teams who are missing bunch of threes but in this day and age when teams are aggressively looking for 3s and hitting them at a high rate, why scheme this way? especially with such a good interior defender like AD who can probably do ok without the help?
Rip Ham
Unless he wants to get traded he should shut up about Ham. Don’t get me wrong, he’s 100% right but because Rob and Jeanie are so in love with Ham, he’ll be the scapegoat for the Lakers problems if he even points out there are leadership/ coaching problems.
If I am on the trading block & the being scapegoated as a part of the teams struggles. I cant even buy the 36 value rolls of toilet paper from Costco because I am be packing my shit tomorrow. I just might get a bit more honest about everything going on too. Speak up D Lo, air that shit out, mutiny time.
DLo is better at his job, than Ham is at his.
And it’s true, just watch the game and look if they run plays…it’s disgusting. And sorry but I don’t understand LeBron and AD with this shit, why do they accept this shit and waste prime (AD) years? Fuckin go to Jeanie and demand this shit to stop or take the game over and run plays no matter what the clown is doing.
dlo been in so much trade rumors and bullshit with this fo, to the point where he’s just apathetic af doesn’t even care. that’s the response of someone that knows they’re not going to be around before the trade deadline. they did him dirty once, trade to bring him back; then proceed to do him dirty again.
man I wish the Lakers had an NBA-level coach
