That was a terrible losing streaks for a rookie coach. How many time does he needs to be choked on???

Fire him tonight and force Russ to stay home the rest of the season. We don’t need them.

Darvin Ham should have been fired when we started 2-10. Every game we lose because of how stupid he is, is just another nail on the coffin.

Ham seems like a great players coach but he is a terrible strategic coach. The shit he does and doesn’t do is baffling
Ranjith_Unchained
Call the fucking timeout… He fumbled the dribble and you let him continue?
alexor_1
yes he should, IF we make the playoffs, no way darvin ham can be coaching this team
rybeegood
Had decent hopes for Ham but he’s shown poor awareness in a ton of situations all season. Doesn’t know when to call timeouts either.
nellywentdiamond
We had 2 left right? The moment he saw Russ coming down the court wit the roc he should’ve been Screamin to the ref for a to..sigh… I’m tired
dre_villa
He was trash as a player and he’s even worst as a coach. 19 wins we have, none of it was because of good coaching. But some of the 24 losses definitely a dozen to his name.
levantoo
As soon as Russ fumbled the ball he needed to call a timeout. This man is fucking clueless.

Should’ve been fired after that blazer game where he let russ sell us in the 4th quarter early in the season.

We’ve lost probably 9 winnable because of stupid coaching in the last 3 minutes

If Russ has a full head of steam, I’ll let him take it, but right when he fumbled the ball and had to pull back, that timeout should have been faster than a NYC cab horn.
Junior_Cantaloupe_23
That’s back to back games on him what do you mean he shouldn’t be fired 🤣
handsomekim
To me, the worst Lakers coach of the past 2 decades. We fired Vogel for this guy? What the fuck? Vogel was a great coach. And they fired him for this idiot rookie coach?
IEatSnakesForLunch
The first time out should have been called as soon as russ got the ball. If they miss, they give philly 2 free throws for 1 final possession. Instead, didn’t use any of them and let russ continue to force a shot after losing the handle.

imagine ur head coach costing you back to back games for no reason. literally any other coach, we win those last two games
MillaRedd
He brings nothing. I have not seen one thing from him I would consider a game winning decision.

Davin Ham has been terrible. Only good play at the end of a close game was that Matt Ryan 3 at the beginning of the season. But every other close game he’s getting destroyed by the other team’s coaches.

Not blitzing Luka was also a fire able offense. When you commit multiple fire able offenses, maybe it’s time you do get fired.
puhtime
How’d y’all feel if ham was fired and phill handy was promoted to head coach?
Otherwise-Locksmith1
The fact that he didn’t call a timeout knowing that Russ was feeling himself too Much is something that needs to be brought up in the next meeting cause damn bro call a timeout you have 2 of them
Proud_Definition8240
Ham was supposed to be the personality that was stronger than Russ and everyone would be intimidated into playing his brand of tough defensive and control the ball offense…its obvious now that Russ’s personality is stronger than Ham’s.

Where do I apply to be a head coach. I’ll do it for free and commit seppuku if I make dumb fucken decisions like Ham
Eder_Cheddar
If Westbrick has the ball in his hands with the game on the line.
Call a fucking timeout.
Next time Brody should just go for the shit sandwich hat trick and go for a 3.

Scam ass coach hope he does get fired. Omfg our season is slipping away from us. No reinforcements in 2 weeks. We really needed this win.
odaschox
I don’t know what is worse, the fact he forgets he is the head coach, and not a sideline fan, or the fact that he is gonna sugarcoat all this shit and it will keep happening.

You know you have a good coach when you’re winning games you have no business of winning due to tactical adjustments made during key moments of the game. You know you have a bad coach when winnable games are given away due to repeated lapses in judgment.
Crazybaldhead45
He shouldn’t have even been hired
KoryGrayson
Ham is a rookie coach. It shows. The Lakers’ margin for error is so slim that everyone needs to be on top of their games. The team is not good enough to overcome coaching mistakes. The coaching staff needs to get it together quickly.
Joe Mazzulla makes mistakes, too. But his team is good enough to bail him out. Ham doesn’t have that luxury.
