Nobody impacts winning when there other team literally has the best 3 point shooting game in NBA history…🤷🏾♂️
Brou clearly hasn’t watched the Lakers all year. Darvin Ham has been a CATASTROPHE! I’m not even a Lakers fan either.
Nick: Three minutes of facts about how Darvin Ham has made mistake after mistake, undoubtably proving he is a major factor in their current seeding
Brou: Same old tired trope about how Lebron is to blame
Nick running circles around Brou in this segment
LeBron went in a 9-0 run BY HIMSELF last night to get them back in it. Brou wants that washed King to stick so bad!
Nick should coach the lakers lol🤡
Steve is not a good coach, his teams just beat other teams its not because of planning the players are just really good
That lineup is actually unforgivable
Bru ignoring Darvin Ham's fault at this point just for the show
People that don’t watch these games would called ham lebron scapegoat, which is not true ham been horrible all year , last year was terrible most laker nation wanted him gone even if they won the chip. His guards with denis. Pat be , & Westbrook we’re tragic 😂 now he has a more qualified roster & he still don’t use his players right . TP over rui was ridiculous, and TP is a good player in the right role, he got redish out here being the primary defender on ball handlers which is not his role, no minutes for max while that white dude in golden state plays a major role even starter a few game . Lack of adjustments & no TO . Please ham fire 2025
Broussard doesn’t get the point, The lakers run to cut it to 5 with warriors shooting the lights out. lakers have all the momentum and he takes out Rui Reaves Bron…..How as a basketball analyst do you not blame that on coaching.
9:55 “this going to make mad “ lol
Brou needs to stop. A coach making dumb decisions in a game does impact the game. Players can't always overcome the coaching. Especially with one star out and the other on the bench…
No Brou. Ham is a horrible coach. If it wasn't for his stupidity for the first 50 games, we would have gotten at least 5 more Ws. And guess what? We would have been a top 4 seed in the west.
Nuggets loosing in the 1st round in 7
Klaymond 😂
Brou doesn’t watch the lakers you can tell because the coaching is obviously bad that mixed with the fact that the roster construction isn’t good is the issue there’s no way you can say that lebron has no impact when the lakers out scored the warriors in his minutes and brought it to 5 before being subbed out saying lebron is a problem is just ignoring everything else around him
Just come out and say it Brou & Wildes: LeBron is a problem. His lack of defense, his over-dominating the basketball, the fact that AD is clearly their best player but who has to play second fiddle to LBJ, and his stat seeking hurts the overall flow of the team. You want to go there… Go there!
Come on guys Anthony Davis didn't play please what a waste of air if Anthony Davis was there the Lakers would've won the Game
Here's the thing guys. It's all numbers. And not LeBrons or any other player. But viewers. Nick is smart, because he knows die-harding on Lakers will bring in numbers NO MATTER if they win or lose. On top of that is his negativity vs the Warriors, which is 100% the same thing. Brings in numbers. It's gonna be suuuuuuuper interesting to see what happens with the media narratives when Bron and Steph retire. There is currently no replacement for those 2 in the league, maybe except Wemby. But even then Im not sure.
The Lakers have bad coaching, bad player effort, bad defense, too many nights of an eighty two game season. They play hard when they get down 20 points 😂
It is a little bit of everything. Although, I agree with CB that Bron does not impact the game as he used to (which is fine, hes 40). But this team has big wins against contenders without Bron because they have AD whose defense is impactful. It helps when someone can anchor the defense as well as score on the other end. Also, offense flows thru the various guards as opposed to Bron holding the ball when he plays.
"LeBron has been excellent and healthy, LeBron has been excellent and healthy", but was out in wolves game with "ankle injury". 😂😂😂 "leliar" "lenohelp" "lezerohelp"
Broussard is ridiculous and making me realize he does not watch games.
Chris’s takes are horrible sometimes, if you watched the game. Nobody held accountable for bad defense and the bad line up to try to give Lebron some rest.. you can’t play Gabe right now
Ham sucks man, it’s that simple
The biggest mistake is firing Vogel just because the GM does not want to admit they butchered the roster by getting Russ W. and not paying the core championship roster.
Easier to blame Vogel at that time than admitting and correcting their mistake with that unfit roster. That is the Lakers downfall after the chip.
Darvin Ham is def a big issue with lakers success they are a great team and have good pieces, but Ham is playing checkers with chess pieces
It's nobody's fault that they have 2 top players yet ar fighting for the 10 spot .reality is the west is just a beast conference top to bottom .Phoenix has the exact same situation fighting to get in w 3 stars not just 2
Let’s be honest if draymond doesn’t get suspended 20+ games between both incidents, the warriors could’ve easily be 8-10 wins better than what they currently have, making them a top 4 team in the west
To all the Lebron fans who think that he is never the problem. Not when Lebron shot terrible in 2007s finals, he had not anything to do with it.
Or when the team in Miami which was suppose to win not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5… they only won 2, he had nothing to do with it? Not in the Dallas series.
Not in Wade going from a top.5 player to not being in the top 10 in a few years? That had nothing to do with Bron being difficult to thrive with.
Nor that fact that Bosh went from playing like a top 10-15 player to not being able to impact the game more than a good role player in the end?
The same can be said with Kevin Love in Cleveland the second time.
Or you know the season the Lakers missed the playoff… I am sorry the two time they missed the playoff it had NOTHING to do with Bron. Got it! He has played 20 + years and won 4 Rings and all the other years he was perfect but just unlucky with the team, the coach, the court, the ball, the wind, the president at the time. I understand.
It's clear that the Lakers are no match for the Warriors without a free throw advantage of at least 8. Remember, the Lakers' only win against the Warriors this season was by just 1 point despite getting 27 MORE free throw attempts than the Warriors. Both AD and LeBron played in that game, scoring 29 and 36 points respectively.
That can't be a condition of employment n it can be argued if she participated in the viewing of these acts she has the right to complain n has a valid point,!
I kinda don’t understand what they’re arguing about. AD wasn’t there and he’s putting up at least all nba 2nd team numbers and win shares commensurate with an all nba 1st team player. LBJ is similar except that his win shares are more like an all nba 3rd team…that should be enough to be a top 6 seed but the rest of the team simply isn’t that good. Simple.
LeBron had them within 5 pts he left the court and they were down 17 in 3 minutes come on Chris you need a roster.. This is such BS because when Jamal Murray was out Denver kept losing games can Jokic not impact winning? He was putting up triple doubles?
LeBron hitting his threes is masking his decline
NOOO Chris you can not put out 3 short gaurd line ups and be serious.. Chris LUKE WALTON WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE COACH.. The Kings fired him now look at them.. Ham is terrible.. On Vogel you have a point and I agree Vogel can coach it was the roster.. Now Hams roster has limitations but line ups he puts out there are just untenable..
Chris I love ya but you just being stubborn lol
But Chris I agree LeBron is no longer an elite defender except for a few moments that is why the team has to have around him elite or at least very good defenders and 3 point shooters which the TEAM does not have..
It was a 5pt game and then Lebron went out they subbed in those guys it went to 17 pts.
Bucks may not survive the first round without Giannis – potential matchups – Sixers, Heat Pacers Magic – WOW!!
Brody’s just blindly supporting Ham in order to contradict Nick. He can’t ACTUALLY believe it’s not Ham’s fault. It’s so obvious that he makes terrible coaching decisions in crucial moments and games. Brody’s just disagreeing with Nick because it’s a reflex for him at this point lol
Another blame game I see
The game was over the second that lineup hit the floor. Darvin has been doing this all year. You can't expect a 39 year old Lebron to carry anymore.
Brou was wrong here. Ham literally is shooting this franchise down.
Darvin Ham shouldn’t be allowed to coach AAU.. bro is terrible
13:00 Wildes: "close sweep" 😂
lol “the coach is the problem”…sounds like the last 21 years of this man’s career…AD was sitting out. Who else is gonna be on the court??! 🤣
Nick is right. I don't know what Chris is listening to. Ham is the biggest problem. Starting Prince was one of the dumbest decisions and he constantly makes dumb lineup decisions.
cant believe people watch this show.
