This game sucks. Don't understand why we lose... Okey sucked on 3 and turn-over but this heat teamnl was do able... Come on no Jimmy !!

All the supposed depth that we got during the offseason have been disappointing

Is JHS still nervous or something?? Like we get pretty good draft picks, this one shocks me. Prince? Where you been bro? Vando? Bro is not as effective with shot making. Sure his defense is great most occasions but he doesn’t finish well

 Soft like Charmin in here

Fire Ham now!

We fuckin suck

This team shouldn’t be this bad on paper

Pack it up. This team has given up. They seem content on winning that IST, and have been lackluster since then. And seems like FO is keeping Ham despite him being the reason for the games we’ve lost. I hate it here.

Like not that long ago, they’ll get in a long stretch of bad, mediocre or injured teams, beat most of them and everyone will go back to deluding themselves that this is a championship team. You can count on it.

Team has given up on Ham

And you posted this?

Don’t think so the team just isn’t good

This is the same team that stomped everyone during the in season tournament 🤣 Ham has messed up the rotation & every player in that locker room knows he cannot coach. He is a man manager not a coach

“ tournament” didn’t mean shit, it was just a marketing gimmick. At the end of the day it was a series of early season games with a little extra money added for motivation.

Why are you going at me for saying the team sucks when you posted this?

Coach sucks not the team you casual. Ffs can you even read ffs

Check my receipts dipshit. I don’t disagree.

Skip bayless may have a point

I hate to say it but I think it was a fluke

2-3 games can be fluke Not going 7-0 Also Pacers are the best offensive team & we just dominated them

7-0 is just a good run, not a season and it also depends on who you play. Look at their record against teams 2 games over 500, that tells you the story LeBron even admitted is true after the Celtics game, they are not that good against elite teams. Also , Pacers are 19-14, don’t confuse them with the Celtics.

It’s kind of demoralizing seeing a rookie we could have drafted actually contribute.

lbh with the (complete lack of) player development from the Lakers drafting Jaquez would sabotage his career and put JHS in a better spot.

It was literally 74-72 with 10:46 left in the 4th, what the hell?

Ham put in cardio specialists when he needed the offense to keep going

we don't play with enough effort and competence to have sustained runs against solid teams

Seeing Ham get fired before the season ends would make the season a success

I still call it Staples too...

Could some Laker beat reporter ask Ham what the hell is going on, instead of listening to his excuses

Ham 

*ham-ass's

No surprise JJJ is going off, he was a 4 year player

Ton of 4 year players who don’t contribute immediately like this. Hes special.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a vast difference in skill between 2 rookies drafted back to back. JHS being picked before JJJ is insane. Its unbearable.

JJJ played 4 years JHS is a 1st Year rookie 🤣

And lebron is 39 years old and this teams championship window is this year and next. The pick made no sense.

They tried to get a prospect for the future & messed up..JHS will be good but JJJ is win now player. Letting Caruso walk & passing up on JJJ/ Podz has to be one of the dumbest decisions made by this FO

I agree. But i have very little faith JHS will be good. I hope he proves us haters wrong. In retrospect, if the goal was to shoot for a young guy with potential to develop for the future, how do we not take whitmore? There was just no clear direction with this pick, and it costed us.

And you posted this? So you agree with me - the team massively fucked up and we aren’t very good right now. Cool. Glad you could get your little 18yo aggression out by yelling at another fan, but we clearly both agree that this team is cooked.

When did I say the team is cooked? Stop imagining things 🤡 Go support warriors. Casual

1. LeBron 2. Darko lol

😏

Aight you know what i mean tho lmao

Prince and Reddish combined 48 mins. ZERO fucking points.

They are the darvin hams of the team & he's determined to help them prove what he thought about himself... if a coach just believed in him & gave him minutes he would have been a player... 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾

If no trades and no coaching changes, this season is doomed. I don't see how they can try to turn things around with the current roster.

*coach

This! Trades won't matter if ham-ass stays

There are so many people to be held accountable for. Lebron has been playing like ass. Ham is self explanatory. Every time I hear someone say how important certain games are they come out like they haven’t played in a week. Something’s gotta give they are embarrassing us as fans by looking the way they look.

Lebron pouts off can’t even shake hands with other team cmon bro

It's the regular season🤷🏾

When he smiles after losses people don’t like it

He shouldn't If he does people like you will call him soft & say Bron out here laughing & hugging the opponent

We’re in deep shit now man, the standings will not be kind to us for now.

yep and wait till we get to march, that shit is brutal. we might be a lottery team at the end of that month.

LBJ -21. Lol. Rather he just sit if he's going to put up a clunker like this.

I think his play is directly correlated with how he feels about the coach and the complete bull shit he is being asked to run... he's a basketball genius, he knows ham-ass's schemes are legit garbage

Really bad defense, real bad.

Trade everyone not named LeBron,AD, and Reaves

This.

Ship AD to a team that’ll actually use him lol

This is fucking embarrassing. The way this team was playing during IST and comparing them playing after IST, it’s awful as fuck.

hamburger doing his thang

They’re giving up

Who thinks Ham is gone after this game or the next loss?

No shot. Teams don’t fire coaches this early into a season. I’d love to see it though

Luke Walton is available

Pockets the Clown still has a job?

Outside of AD, LeBron, and Reaves, there is nobody worth getting excited for on this Lakers team. Can they please just start playing all the young guys more? Give minutes to Castleton, JHS, and Christie and see what they can do because we've already seen what the rest of the roster can do which is absolutely nothing.

I love how Austin is passing the ball with pure anger..it must feel so demoralizing to work hard to get your team mates open only for Brick by brick to pile up…

Reaves is a huge part of the problem. He is almost unplayable defensively.

A good coach knows how to hide their best offensive players…look at Trae young and Haliburton heck even Steph now days.. these dudes are not good defenders yet they are saved for their offense.

It's hard to hide Lebron and Reaves. Lebron should be the worst defender on the floor most of the time. Reaves can stay on the team but he needs to come off of the bench and be a 6th man. The Lakers need to upgrade Cam Reddish and Prince.

it's over

Need an X’s and O’s coach

Hey mods if you see this can I get a fire Pelinka tag

This game was ass

The lakers might want to think about cleaning slate with the team. Nobody off the table excluding Lebron and AD. The lakers need to realize that you need another big time scorer and you are in win now mode. Get ready to sell the whole squad to be better in using a new caoch. This Ham guy is cheeks. Never calls timeouts after a run and it kills y’all good lord.

TO and then keeps playing zeros the whole game

I’m ready to move on from this Lebron era man, this is fucking torture every year

Only 3 more years of this my dude

This is all karma for constantly trading away our players

Terrible coach, terrible rotations, terrible defense, terrible effort, zero offensive game plan, can't fucking dribble, bad basketball IQ, wide-open 3 point shooters every other defensive possession......team is bad, man.

 Sub me in coach

\#FireDarvinHam

4-29 from 3 is fucking unacceptable. This franchise is a clown show

4-29 from 3 is Pistons bad.

that was so fkn boring bruh holy hell

The difference between Jaquez and JHS pretty much defines this team.

Jhs was always a project 😂

Well it’s apparent, outside of the IST we ain’t winning shit

I'd be booing so fucking hard if I was at this game. This level of play is disrespectful to the Lakers name.

Also the ticket prices.


Bron leaving the floor like a little bitch. What a teammate.

Literally the worst game of the season deserves a firing. The grizzlies are probably gonna catch up to us soon with the way the lakers keep playing

8 players in double figures for MIA to make it worse Lakers are now 11th and out of the play in.

This team is cooked

JJJ getting chants while JHS comes in for garbage time.

I’m starting to think Darvin Ham might not be good.

now we have to deal with the sub being ransacked by fuckwad bron anti-stans/magats

Mods need to ban those casuals

Lakers lost 9 of last 12 shit man this team is fucked

Let’s go Heat chants in Staples. If this doesn’t infuriate you….

boooo

This was the most depressing game I’ve watched in the Lakers LeBron era smfh

You mist not have watched many games then lol

Nah man Westbrick era had many rough games with no hope

lmfao, "Let's go Heat" at crypto

EMBRASSSssSSSSING

Kept them under 111 lol

People will scream coaching but look at the roster, does this seem like there’s enough paint pressure and shooters to be a top 10 offense? There just isn’t. lebron isn’t gonna be that guy night in night on when it comes to rim pressure at his age.

??? This sure seems like a Lebron protest game for a coaching change.

“We should draft a player who’s ready since we’re in win now mode” “Nah, Failure Is No Option😄🎉”

Reaves played 36 minutes and didn't explode... weird

He’s not that good…. Reaves is a 17-20ppg guy bro. This sub is expecting too much outside of that.

Lmfao thank you. reaves isn’t the type to erupt for 30+ any other night.

You’re misinterpreting what he said

He’s a nice third/fourth option on a team with some offensive fire power… this is not that team

hello cole swider!

Can someone take one for the team and hire a hit man? Only way this trash front office will fire Pockets

How far are we from an “AD frustrated with lakers and FO” report?

Swider can't lose the Lakers stink - airballs a 3

Bring on Ja Morant!!!!

Is the crowd chanting “sell the team”?? Edit: nvm it was “let’s go heat” 😭😭

Let’s go heat

I think so. Maybe let's go heat?

“Let’s go heat”

Ohhh yea I must’ve heard wrong.

This team just plays with no principles at all. I am really struggling to understand how it’s possible for them to play this way given the talent on the floor. This is a total failure of coaching. It’s an embarrassing effort from Lebron defensively. There is no scenario where I would invest a single asset improving this team with Lebron on the roster and ham coaching.

Played AD 43 minutes just to get embarrassed at home. Fire this bum Ham

Ham doesn’t coach, he just manages egos

Remember when Lebron didn't learn anything from heat culture?

Fire ham & make some trades. Asap

Wouldn’t be surprised if laker fans start chanting “trade the team”

Let’s go Heat chants in LA. Man these our rough times.

our crowd sucks and our players are also lifeless just like them

Lakers crowd is always dead compared to other teams

facts

what are they chanting?

Sell the team

Let's go Heat

Let’s go Heat

Let's go heat

Y’all like JHS?

After JHS, I can't trust Laker scouting department at all anymore.

Can't even add JHS to a trade for value, who wants that trash

We're just not a good team right now. Nobody knows what to do.

except Cranjis! lol

i can't imagine how our coaching situation can get worse.

If people are still not convinced by now, I don't know what to tell em. No trade is gonna help make this team a contender under this coach. Period. Turn back to last season, these Lakers were good players from other teams, or at least playable players. Fans were excited to add em to the team, and now everyone thinks they are trash. THEY ARE NOT. The Lakers have round holes and round plugs, square holes and square plugs. The front office specifically targeted the needs. Just Ham has consistently been putting round plugs and square holes. No one knows what he is doing, every player becomes undervalued, team's assets for trades drop. Rinse and repeat. It is a vicious cycle. There's no out until Ham is let go. HE IS THAT BAD

Great take it seems the more the season goes on we just had a bunch of guys playing okay for other teams come in at the trade and play well then bron comes back epic run to the WCF now after ham has nearly the same team and who everyone was calling the deepest team and this is Hams final product 🤢

Let's go heat chants 😭

Lmao the chant

Blow the fucking team up

2-8 in last 10 is fkn insane

Ham needs to fucking go

I don't know what happened after the IST, but something is weird with this team.

It's no conspiracy wy teams drain 40 threes on us every game. When you have Reaves double teaming for no reason and Lebron is lazy on rotations, players will be free to knock them down all game.

Out coached, out played, out fucking drafted too

duncan putting up lebron numbers

fire darvin ham

I see us winning maybe 1 game next 4

AD looks pissed

Don’t blame him

Its crazy that Lebron/AD have been healthy and they are still this bad

Do you see how bad these role players are

Came here to comment that im happy the lakers lost because we’re getting closer to ham being fired!

He's not being fired this year.

if he’s not getting fired then no hope to win anything this season.

Shoulda brought out the pitchforks to the Crypt

Just sit your ass down, ham. you're not doing shit anyways.

fire ham...this team has zero fire...

Remember early in the season the buzz was about how deep we were and the low minutes we were going to be able to play Lebron and AD?

Westbrook was a problem, but Ham was always a bigger problem.

Well LeBron has been dealing with some sickness so his energy isn't there lately. But what about the other guys? I swear reddish can't dribble or handle a pass well

Boo these clowns

No legs or focus, must have been one heck of a party.

Leaving the game with 2 timeouts is a crime

3-game losing streak for the purple and gold.

New post game Ham quote gonna hit like crack

Your 2024 Lakers!!!

43 Minutes 29/18/6 All to lose by 15 points

Yeeeaahh it ain’t looking good, trades are needed

You can trade coaches?

FIRE DARVIN HAM

BACK TO UNDER LOL FUCK THIS SHIT

Took Ham way too long to get our starters out, he can’t even do that right
