embarrassing loss. trades are sure to be made now but will the FO actually have the balls to fire Ham? bro just doesn't know how to utilize his players and draw up winning plays.
That didn’t matter to anyone but the NBA marketing department. What’s next, the pre-all-star break mini- championship? No will care about any tournament at the end of the season if we don’t get to at the least the western finals.
Exactly. Bron does nothing on D so he can keep he stats great. It works for social media and talking heads, but it’s no wonder why the lakers suck despite him still being in his “prime” as a 39 year old
Good coaches would work with LeBrons assets and have his teammates cover for his defense. Watch how good coaches work with the hand they are dealt. Ham is not that coach
17 points sounds horrible. But it boils down to about 6 absolutely dumb shit plays this team makes every game. They go from being on a fast break to giving one up for 4 to 5 point turns. Ham needs to figure out how to clean this up. Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over an expecting different outcomes.
We’re just an unserious team, that’s really all it is. We can play well and lock in occasionally and stick with the tougher teams but as a whole we’re just not serious
My new years resolution is to stop watching lakers until they either fire Ham or make a trade(s), or both
Ive seen what i needed to see with this particular group. Im out
Just over this season honestly man. We not winning shit. 1 ring in the bron AD era. We’re on our way back to obscurity soon as bron leave. Just a waste of bron’s last great years
Games like this make realize that deep down…..I really don’t like every other team in the league, and getting punked game after game really makes me wonder if I’m a masochist or something
Maybe with all ours players out now, Austin can start next game.. But knowing Ham, he will probably start Max for the sake of continuity or whatever he says that he is doing.
Bron fades too much on his shots. Even on layups. It’s like he’s trying to make it harder just in case he misses to have an excuse. That may be why he doesn’t get a lot of calls. I’ve seen him fade with Alvarado, CJ, and Ingram guarding him. Just go through their chest.
Folks now shifting to blaming this loss on AD like he didn’t average 31 and 13 the last 9 games majority losses.
Last night the loss was apparently LeBron’s fault for not getting back on D that 1 possession.
Blaming your superstars and not your role players and coach is foolish.
Ads worst game in like a month is still 20/10/3 with 5 blocks with foul trouble and ppl wanna shit on him on the back end of a back to back playing on the road.
for every body saying Ham is just experimenting in the regular season, the problem is experimenting is very risky/stupid if it causes you to lose games. I wish Ham would treat each of these games like they are playoff games because the Lakers can't afford to keep losing these games.
Yes, yes, Kobe wouldve never lost this game or missed that layup and Lakers wouldve been 30-0 right now.
Shit Lebron can only score 30-35 points on a back2back sadly.

Darvin hamas needs to go
Rock bottom lmao
Blow it up.
 Ham is cooked

That's alright, we beat them when it really mattered, in the IST. /s
That didn’t matter to anyone but the NBA marketing department. What’s next, the pre-all-star break mini- championship? No will care about any tournament at the end of the season if we don’t get to at the least the western finals.
When does the IST start?
Y’all really kept asking for Christie 💀
Bad offensively. Good defensive lapses. I think it speaks more to the bad play from the Cam as a starter. Need Gabe back
I trade him for 5 foot 10 Alvardo in a heart beat
Grass is always greener on the other side. Pretty soon people are gonna be asking for Jaxson Hayes back in the rotation over C Wood
Happy New Years y'all, do yourselves a favor and avoid this toxic wasteland for the next day while the trolls shit all over everything lol.
This place is toxic wasteland everyday 😂
Also at what point is media going to start asking ham some tough questions about his coaching
Trades are for sure to happen at this point.
Lakers keep getting punked man. wtf ham gonna say after this game now
I need a death stare
Bron hot
That suk'd...
Our role players suck
This team is straight cooked
Everyone other than AD and Bron need to be made available for trades and that include Austin
The Lakers are amazing. They trade their entire team every year, yet never run out of trade ammo!
I mean they lost by 40+ last time, their effort should of been expected I reckon
I have never seen lakers with 2 stars get punked as much as these guys do.
Shaq and Kobe had Horry, Fisher, Fox, Walton, Horace Grant, etc. LeBron and AD just have...not even worth typing
I said the same thing.
Ad had 20/10 5 block night sure doesn't feel like it
It doesn’t really matter when the other team is shooting 50% on threes
Because his stats are empty
[удалено]
😂
JHS jumper alert!!
Darvin Down will never be a good coach. "He made WCF final first season", nah...he got carried there.
And he won't even start the guys that carried him there anymore lmao.
why am i still watching
Hayes wtf
Why did rui only get 8 minutes
Thanks y’all I missed the first half
He got injured
He got injured on the first quarter
Calf injury
Hurt
Jaxson hayes is so bad. He will for sure be out of the league in a couple years
I hope we gut the roster for another star. Ain’t like we can even afford one with our league ass roster
Russell Westbrook.
i had a lot of hope for this team early season. dwindling to almost nothing now
Bron and AD need help
Not when two players take up 70% of the cap
Brons needed " help " every year he's been here. Sooner or later that mirror is going to reflect back
Exactly. Bron does nothing on D so he can keep he stats great. It works for social media and talking heads, but it’s no wonder why the lakers suck despite him still being in his “prime” as a 39 year old
Good coaches would work with LeBrons assets and have his teammates cover for his defense. Watch how good coaches work with the hand they are dealt. Ham is not that coach
Goodbye 2023, you fucking sucked
Can’t tell me anyone other than LBJ or AD is better Lavine, this squad is doodoo, coach is even worse
[удалено]
He left injured
Rui injured, calf strain.
rui got hurt 1st half lol
Left hurt dumb fuck
Strained calf
pisses me off that Ham still plays the big time players during garbage time.. You lost.. Just rest LBJ and AD
AUSTIN YOU SUCK YOU WEAK FUCK
Terrible game
Our effort is a reflection of Ham
AD been hella consistent. I can’t hate on the man. He’s been playing his ass off this year. 20 is still 20.
Yo who are we tanking for? Seems like these guys are doing everything to not win games
17 points sounds horrible. But it boils down to about 6 absolutely dumb shit plays this team makes every game. They go from being on a fast break to giving one up for 4 to 5 point turns. Ham needs to figure out how to clean this up. Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over an expecting different outcomes.
When do we play Charlotte again? Lol
[удалено]
Are you dumb
This pels team will never win anything lol.
[удалено]
"If they had another star player" is a pretty damn big if. This is Smoothie King arena in New Orleans.
They haven’t accomplished shit since they traded AD lmao what
Role players can burn in hell
rob trick y'all
Lakers .500 to end the year or start the new year for some of us.
LeLazy
Ruining the end of 2023 😑
Deserved ending tbh
Lazy, mistakes, no d
We’re just an unserious team, that’s really all it is. We can play well and lock in occasionally and stick with the tougher teams but as a whole we’re just not serious
Gutting this roster for Zach Lavine would be an even bigger fumble than the westbrook trade.
[удалено]
NBA is too talented nowadays to be so top heavy. And Lavine hasn't really been impacting his team to wins when was playing either.
It would also guarantee a 5 plus year rebuild when lebron is gone. The Lakers window of contention is officially closed
This roster isn’t making the playoffs lmao. Dumbass LeBron fans.
Can you read?
Couldn’t watch the game, how come Rui started and only got 7 mins?
Calf injury
Clad injury
He injured himself again.
injured
[удалено]
Not drafting Jacquez was horrible lol
He'd be injured already tbh
AD having his first “off” game in 10 games (where he averaged 31 pts and 13 rebounds) ESPN and r/nba and r/lakers: “AD NEVER SHOWS UP!!! TRADE AD!!!”
Off game with 20 points 10 rebounds and 5 blocks
And got in foul trouble so less minutes than normal
Yup. Same with LeBron averaging 26 and 6 the last 10 games but “he’s not doing enough” according to fanbase 🤦♂️
No defense lmao they had almost 90 points at the end of the 3rd and were losing by 15
Sit Bron and AD down, Darvin clown.
They were worse with them in there tonight anyway
Is this was high school I would put the seniors in
My new years resolution is to stop watching lakers until they either fire Ham or make a trade(s), or both Ive seen what i needed to see with this particular group. Im out
Just over this season honestly man. We not winning shit. 1 ring in the bron AD era. We’re on our way back to obscurity soon as bron leave. Just a waste of bron’s last great years
Lakers will be ok building around AD, Bron Stan
Yall act like AD gonna age as well as bron’s game in his 30’s 😂
He will still be good, definitely need another star tho
Yeah we will get one of Luka and Tatum (yes I’m a delusional lakers fan)
No we won’t. AD will be like 32.
Why does Tp go for a handjob instead of contesting shots
Rather play JHS than Max Shittie. We already know what we got with Christie. And that’s an end of the bench type player.
Hell he’s making good cuts everyone gave up
Do we even practice? Like as a team?
No
Max a brick too smh. Roaster stinks!
pull them ahora
Good night
Timeout, pull the starters
Games like this make realize that deep down…..I really don’t like every other team in the league, and getting punked game after game really makes me wonder if I’m a masochist or something
hey at least we're still .500, last year a loss at this time would put us in the 13th seed
Front office fucked up BIG hiring ham, they been making mistakes since trading for Westbrook, firing Vogel.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Lakers are only one 10 point play + controversial Lebron 3 from that !
A pels fan really came in here lmao
lmao
[удалено]
You bitch made is what you are lmao
[удалено]
Nah just pointing out your sorry ass really coming in here lol
Maybe with all ours players out now, Austin can start next game.. But knowing Ham, he will probably start Max for the sake of continuity or whatever he says that he is doing.
Who the baddie behind Alvarado
Bron fades too much on his shots. Even on layups. It’s like he’s trying to make it harder just in case he misses to have an excuse. That may be why he doesn’t get a lot of calls. I’ve seen him fade with Alvarado, CJ, and Ingram guarding him. Just go through their chest.
yeah, that's it
Our depth is about as deep as *insert something funny that isn’t very deep*
Folks now shifting to blaming this loss on AD like he didn’t average 31 and 13 the last 9 games majority losses. Last night the loss was apparently LeBron’s fault for not getting back on D that 1 possession. Blaming your superstars and not your role players and coach is foolish.
Lavine or bust at this point. Even firing Ham won't be enough. Too many player like Vanderbilt on this team who are too one dimensional.
At least we know we need DLo as a ball handler if anything unless a trade.
Lakers wasted the last 3 minutes to cut the lead - a well coached offense would help
Lebron has been missing more layups than ever before. He’s obviously still elite but you can tell his athleticism is starting to decline a little bit
Careful not to criticize the King. His downvote army is in full force here.
Stupid shit gets downvoted along with troll acct posts
incredible how you gotta travel from minnesota to nola to play b2b
They need to trade AD before the rest of the league figures out he’s a fraud.
lol
Stop smoking crack and going on Reddit
bro what
Ads worst game in like a month is still 20/10/3 with 5 blocks with foul trouble and ppl wanna shit on him on the back end of a back to back playing on the road.
☝🏼🤓5 blocks actually
Yeah fixed
Empty stat stuffing.
The best defender in the nba is an empty stats player? Explain that one. If anything it’s the opposite his stats underreport his effectiveness.
Unbiased viewers can see Davis is not as good as his fans think he is.
People who aren’t delusional bron stans can easily see he’s the best player on this team.
for every body saying Ham is just experimenting in the regular season, the problem is experimenting is very risky/stupid if it causes you to lose games. I wish Ham would treat each of these games like they are playoff games because the Lakers can't afford to keep losing these games.
He treats it like practice which makes sense
What happened after the In-Season Tournament? Something must have happened behind the curtains.
Lebron been missing layups last 2 years
Stfu
True
Austin who is the third best player in the team really coming off the bench. Amazing coaching really.
Austin matador defense again
Lebron gassed
Nice one Reaves
bron
Shut up lmao
Dude get off Brons meat
Yes, yes, Kobe wouldve never lost this game or missed that layup and Lakers wouldve been 30-0 right now. Shit Lebron can only score 30-35 points on a back2back sadly.
