After a humiliating loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell’s comments are being interpreted by some as a shot at coach Darvin Ham. But was DLo really calling out Ham? Trevor Lane takes a look?

I’m glad you guys pulled this tape on DLo! That’s exactly how I interpreted it when he referenced the opposing coach. Basically implying that’s not the case for the Lakers – to be fair to players if they have no sets offensively just sharing the ball and generating high assist to shot scored volume it isn’t going to cut it when the game gets tight. I felt like there has been a deliberate attempt on the extra pass mentality and up the assists by the Lakers but the Nets clearly had no issues staying close and running their offense. Need an x & o’s coach- I have a feeling our success against warriors in playoffs last year had more to do with Bron’s familiarity with Kerr than Ham. Players don’t seem bought it in and haven’t for a while!! Want to believe but the inconsistency is becoming consistent!!
Whatever you think it is, that is it 😂😂😂
this was an unnecessary video.

Ham has to be removed this guy looks lost as the head coach for the Lakers
Just curious: if Darvin Ham were fired by the all-star break, who would Laker Nation want to coach this team? Who is high-quality and available?
And be honest: what do you think the ceiling is for this squad, assuming all NBA teams are healthy come playoff time?
I’m never been one to blamed a coach but Ham is way over coaching this team….his time is long over
I Agree The Coaches Rotation at times I suspect but He's a Great Coach Just a lot of Injuries are nagging us!!! But we have to do something before the trade deadline facts!!!💯
Coach Darvin Ham should be traded or waived😂😂😂
Definitely
after we lost by 40 with Lebron and AD (my favorite player for years now).. I admitted that our new baseline was very low.. This loss was another wake up call to actual Lake fans and Lebarnicles.. Hope some trades get done.. as a start.
Fire DARVIN HAM ! 🍖
Come on Trevor. Complementing another coach is not taking a shot at your own coach. I have been watching you for a long time but lately your content has not been good. I rarely watch your videos now so hopefully you can make adjustments and talk about better topics. Tired of hearing stuff like this and trade rumors.
I think it’s being read the wrong way. Brooklyn can back with a better team that went into the locker room. Every team plays their hardest with the Lakers.
I think it is time to change coaches, if Darvin Ham can't motivate them to beat the lowly Brooklyn Nets, then it means that it is time to give the players a new voice. The talent is there, but clearly the effort is no longer there, which indicates that the team is probably unhappy with their coach.
I am not sold on Ham and the Lakers are guilty of taking the cheap way out when it came to hiring a coach. They should have paid Lue instead of playing games. Hams real problem is he is coaching an aging vet legend that is probably the most passive aggressive player in NBA history. Ham is somewhat handicapped because every move he makes has to satisfy LBJ. He has to coach the team in his own way and live or die with the results. Even 39 year old legends do not have any business running the point for a large percentage of any NBA game. If the Lakers don't make a trade you have Russell, Reaves and Vincent so coach the damn team and make it work. P.S. Prince is not starting forwards on a successful team.
It’s so amazing being right. Even the players agree that Darvin Ham is trash, yet you have complete trogs just defending him and defending him, and yes, if a comment made about the Lakers does not include calling for the firing of Ham, it is in defense of him. People acting like players need to go, when in reality, any moves made will be moot with Darvin as coach.
I really really like Darvin Ham as a person.He has great character and seems to have a genuine & positive attitude, with all that being said, I don’t think he’s the right coach for the Lakers and he needs to go!!!
D'A say something else…. you're putting words in his mouth. Whatever he says, you'll bitch about D'A. It's not his fault Lakers a mess, they can't even win 2 in a row. Lakers begging for win.
Bogdan and Dejounte for Russell and Reaves as the primary trade pieces who y’all taking?
Basically said we got out coached, no adjustments made on our part. It was working in the first half didn’t in the second
Darvin Ham is not an improvement over Frank Vogel.
The loss against nets was embarrassing
Ham should’ve been hired by a rebuilding organization not an organization that is trying to make a run at the title with LeBron
With Darvin being the coach, the team can still lose with Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, Doncic and SHA in the same team.
I think Lebron post game remarks, “no it’s not offence it’s not getting stops” was more a hit on ham than d’lo
lakers aint winning no ring with this chemistry n mentality
Players compliment players all the time in a game. Does that mean they are saying their team sucks? No way.
Do you think it’s possible to trade dlo reaves Vincent and all the picks we can for a disgruntled star or super star like a Trae young or D Mitchel and I know this one is unlikely but I see curry getting pissed off over there
I honestly don’t think a coaching change will do anything. This roster is a .500 team. They have some good games and some bad ones. Teams target Reeves a lot since he can’t guard. They try to double but Lebron, DLO and Prince aren’t fast on rotations. The best perimeter defender is the one who can’t shoot as well (Vando). Lakers need more 2 way players.
if anyone it's Rob who's to blame: After 2020 he didn't appreciate the contributers but swapped them like things. Vogel has a 100times better resume than Ham. Ham does what he can (but not more). Give him assistants with a strategy!
DLo is a diva, who can't be bothered to play (hard) defense. Offensively too inconsistent…
How can he have thrown a shot at his coach by complementing a losing coach, when his personal play has been so inconsistent. There’s no shot at Ham here!
the biggest coach of laker are the lakers fans, they are the coach, hope these coaching staff and ham will listen and read the comments of the laker fans, the problem is ham is prideful, ham is boastful every time laker win a single game even against the worst team. once laker beat thunder and dallas, ham always bragging, now, how are you ham laker humiliate by nets? where is your bragging? you re so vocl about line up, about injuries, yet, laker is almost all healthy, the main problem is you dont know how to balance your players plying time. imagine, reaves playe for turn over after turning over the ballmissing open shots, failure to ttacke, loosing the ball, fouling for 30 plus minutes in a loss to nets, he never concern of changingit. then he playe more time for prince than vando. prince has negative defense, th eonly player of laker ho makes defense an hustle is VANDERBILT, vanmdo must played a lot of minutes to make defense, reaves ,dlo,levbron must play defense agaainst strong elite players. net thoms is an elite shooter, yet nobody fromlaker players hustle thomas, thts why laker loss. loss, because of bad coaching.
its time for ham to be fired now. he has no place in the laker bench.
This is laughable, D'Angelo Russell used to play for the Brooklyn Nets and I'm pretty sure the assistant coach at the time was Jack Vaughn…. so he knows his tendencies 🤷♂️
Why are you trying to cover up this bum ass fake coach Darvim Fraud. This guy can’t coach, lakers doesn’t need trade but fire Darvin Ham smh
Ham sucks needs to go
Poor decisions like trading away KCP and Kuzma for Westbrook and firing Vogel after winning the championship 2 years earlier are hurting us right now.
This Lakers is possibly involved in Betting game. They win when they re not favorites to win and Lose when they're favorites to win. See all their game trends, after a winning series on above 0.50 teams, they will lose to a very lowly 0.5 team! They will richly gain in a Betting game here! It's very obvious!
Yes!!!

Trevor,
Plz dont go down that road. U dont have to. U are reaching now. It seems u have been reaching these few months. Nobody is thinking that was dlo was saying, but for viewership u are saying that. Plz dont go this route. I just stop watching a podcaster for these reasons. Be authentic man
yes he was saying there coach did something about it he diddnt so yes he meant it towards him .
Does Anyone Think Phil Jackson Can Still Coach?
A Real Man says it with his sunglasses off first and foremost and with his chest secondly… Lets not forget who was benched in last year's playoffs for being a liability and playing NO D… Ham gotta go cool but Dlo should be right behind him and when they couldn't get him traded during the off season i knew it'd be a problem at some point… We all know Dlo can score and pass sadly that's it💯💯🤦🏿🤦🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿
