    Maybe don’t go under on screens and play drop? Now please hire me as coach Jeanie! I’ve solved the problem lol

    Edit: Ham also mentions no cam tomorrow and wood/Vando/gabe are all “status quo” as far as their returns go.

    And Gabe was participating in the non contact part of practice today so he’s close. Probably just needs conditioning before returning.

    Didn’t Ham tell the team (per Reaves) to ignore perimeter shooters for the most part and pray the percentage is in their favor (essentially)?

  3. Man, after being continually shot in chest with a shotgun, tries turning the weapon around to see if it’ll produce a better outcome. Will update as more info becomes available.

  4. brendanhahaha

    Well, maybe we should stop going under screens to leave the shooter wide open

    Stop over helping. Thee are times where guys are helping down when AD is guarding a guy, like wtf is that?

    The fact that this idiot is just acknowledging and looking at this now pisses me off. This deep into the season rather then way earlier when it was in the numbers that they Lakers gave up the most threes in the league

    And I’m not taking his comment seriously. For this to actually happen he would need to switch his whole defensive scheme which rely’s on everyone over helping in the paint and leaves guys wide open for three. 2 straight years since he’s been Lakers HC they’ve been top 5 in opponent made threes

    Oh good glad were look at that now in late March.

    15 games left in the season

    Unbelievable

    15 games left and they’re finally trying to address the open 3s oof

    Problems that I’ve noticed:

    1. Over helping
    2. Going under screens
    3. Lack of quick perimeter defenders

    Since Cam and Vando been out, I think more Christie minutes could be beneficial

    This teams not serious bro. We can’t win a championship while we’re babysitting a coach that still has the training wheels on

    How the hell did Darvin ham get this job? It’s the Los Angeles lakers with lebron and ad. If he’s good at anything it’s interviews cause he’s a goddamn moron at actually coaching in game and preparation. This is a front office debacle.

  13. Splittinghairs7

    Lmao we have only 20 games left and are just realizing this?

    We’ve only had this problem, ALL FUCKING YEAR!

    It’s not that the lakers are over helping on ADs man. Dlo and Reaves just aren’t quick enough to defend the POA without help, which leads to wide open threes….
