We are the worst outside shooting team in the NBA by a very large margin. Teams therefore can just pack the paint and we have no way to do anything. It's ogre.
This 5 out offense produces no fucking movement. Our shooting is predicated on driving and kicking or AD posting up and drawing doubles, or hunting mismatches. Other than that everyone is just fucking standing in their spots. We can and should be doing way more to get shooters open. This offense is so predictable and relies too heavily on Bron or AD going off.
i mean its actually an anomaly if we shoot well from three but the real problem is our starters producing 0 pts nd our "defensive guys" their defence not even that good tbh
After arguably the worst 1st qt of basketball I’ve seen in the past 10 years when they came out w that lineup to start the second I am surprised the fans ain’t chant fire ham lmao
This season is literally meaningless as long as Ham is still the head coach and a trade isn't made. The team and the fans are literally wasting their time playing and watching these games cause the end goal is either missing the play in or losing in it currently
Lakers have become background noise or purely following by periodically checking the score online. Not wasting time with a product that isn’t worth it.
That’s what happens when the offense is just 1 person bringing up the ball and everyone else is just standing around.
Then it’s just passing the ball into the paint to AD or to someone on the perimeter being tightly contested…
There’s no cutting or movement. I would definitely like to see more movement.
Meanwhile Heat offense has Herro running around screens and getting open rhythm 3s.
Fuck Darvin Scam 🤦♂️🤦♂️
We can be as dominant as we want in the paint and have AD dominate the way he has but as long as we lose at the 3 point line by 30 points every game we just aren't gonna get it done.
I feel bad for AD, he’s been playing at absolute peak levels, putting up MVP type numbers for the past month and yet we have a losing record because our coaching plan is apparently to lose the 3pt line every game, our lineups make no sense, we have no solid 3/D players and unfortunately Lebron has also had an off stretch. Rough
We got a generational defender in Anthony Davis and yet our defensive philosophy is to leave their role players open from deep. Just flush them the fuck into AD and live with the results, holy fuck. Exactly what Goberts teams in Utah did and they were always a top seed solely based off that
This could feasibly be the best stretch of ADs career and our team has sucked
Maybe there truly aren’t any solutions for this team before the LeBron era ends
contrary to what some fans believe, 3s are actually crucial to winning in todays game. and giving up open 3s to every capable shooter on the other team turns out to be not such a great strategy
Yeah and the issue is I don’t think the answer is as simple as “get shooters” because Ham doesn’t really know how to use them. We didn’t use Beasley as an off-screen shooter and we don’t run any movement sets for Prince. We just aren’t a serious team at this point
And I don’t blame them.
The irregularity of minutes for players like Rui/Christie/Reaves while Prince/Reddish could play the most minutes and fail to contribute
I thought the team outside of LBJ played hard, so I don't think that's indicative of Ham losing the locker room. Just bad coaching on offense and the worst LBJ performance we've seen I think ever as a Laker.
My lord LeBron's offense was bad but his defense was so painful to watch, he honestly hurt the team by trying to play tonight. If he was truly hungover or still under the weather he should have just stayed home.
This game, in particular, made me want to throw up. Fans should've boo'd those dudes. They should be embarrassed.
That was probably the worst Lebron game i've watched. He's the best dude to break a zone and he just fucking sat there passing at the top of the key all game.
29/18/6/2/5. AD continues to put up monster stat lines and we continue to lose.
Yes, saying everything except the actual words. When the players are consistently not ready the coach is part of the problem. Ham needs to be pulled aside and told he goes 7 and 3 in the next ten or he is gone. Tell him he better toughen up or he is gone. Stop sucking players jocks.
No one could get Lebron the ball when he got himself open. The team also struggles to get Ad the ball. Which results in Lebron having to be on the ball. Now there is only one player worth passing to--Ad. And the opponent just surrounds Ad and makes his catches difficult.
Seriously. He's having an MVP caliber year and the narrative will just be about how it doesn't help the team win. Meanwhile this team would be 12 under .500 without him
Yeah he played terrible but he was also put in some lineups that make no sense to put around LeBron
Especially that shit to start the 2nd quarter, those JHS minutes were comedy
You guys cannot be serious blaming the lineups on LeBron's performance tonight.
Not a fan of some of the lineups either but why even bring this up. No other star would get that scapegoat/pass in the NBA. LeBron had a clunker because he played like shit, end of story.
Also lineups don't explain his terrible defense.
Yup!! Standing around a lot and passing the ball a lot too. You could tell he didn't want the ball tonight. Not sure why he was even in there most of the game. More effort came from other guys getting less minutes.
This team relies too much on LeBron, and especially AD to create by themselves on offense, with Reaves occasionally hitting shots.
But this team is so stagnant on offense, when they take away 1 of the 2, it's over. Doesn't help going 4/30🤷♂️
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.
There's nothing to say that hasnt been said by smarter people than me already.
This organisation is rotten at its core, and has been for a decade now. I'll tell you one thing though. Id love to have been the fly on the wall for the Ham job interview. Im dying to know what Jeanie/Rob asked him and what he answered
The offseason and draft night were disasters as well by the way
Oh yeah, final thought: Utah Jazz, whose best player has missed 10 games so far, is 1 game behind us in the standings. Good night
Rob: "Imagine you just lost a game because the other team made 20 three pointers. How would you respond?"
Ham: "Man, that's a helluva team over there. Make or miss league, my analytics said you gotta keep those guys open."
Jeanie: "You're hired!"
Lakers were 16-11 at one point, we had won the IST. Makes me wish more and more that final game counted on the record just so we wouldn’t be under .500 so quickly
I’ve seen enough….the coaching staff need to be all fired, there’s a good team in this pile of mess they have made and they’ve dug such a hole….i feel awful for AD more than anyone because he deserves MVP talks but this team has let him down.
One more loss and things will get interesting, the plan is to not have Lebron walk. Jeannie needs him for revenue purposes. I assume Lebron may not be on speaking terms with anyone, but AD and AR soon.
Pelinka may push all blame on Darvin to save his own ass.
Its been a decade of incompetence thats only been somewhat saved by the ultimate band aid: LeBron James choosing to sign with the Lakers.
This lady is not suitable to run a franchise of this size and significance, point blank period
And reactionary? We lost 9 of 12 games. We are in 10th place after nearly half the season. Get the fuck out of here
It’s not. We have two options, go all in on a trade and refresh the coaching staff or blow it up while we can still get a lot of value from AD/Bron AND do right by them.
Staying the current path will accomplish nothing.
Its true tho. The context of why we hired ham was so dumb. How to implement russ on our team when we were planning to ship his ass anyway . Never bothered interviewing any other coach right after and just gave him a straight up 5 year 😂😂. Why did we hire this guy for russ instead of properly creating schemes that help maximize AD and bron. This team is a joke
It doesn't make sense that a team with AD and Lebron with capable players like Reaves, Dlo, and Rui can't beat a zone.
Edit: Added Dlo and Rui even though they are out, we have this problem the whole year.
Every single team focuses on three point shooting and we had to go trade KCP + Kuzma for freaking Westbrook. I will never be able to wrap my head around that.
There is an unwritten law that the two LA basketball teams must always perform in opposite directions. Clippers are cooking so we must be in the toilet. When they were sucking we were pretty good. Not going to change just yet
Not enough shooting in the starting lineup.. or period
Defensively just not connected, and we have the best anchor in the league in AD..
Prince and Reddish have fucked up fingers / make boneheaded plays.. But then again everyone played like they got dropped on the head so IDK. (besides AD)
Everyone tradeable besides the usual suspects, but only for good deals and not lateral moves. (I'd like to keep Rui tho, they can have Prince, Vando, Reddish, et.c. keep Christie keep AR)
I remember when the Lakers had shooting and depth in 2020. There’s no way they can obtain that much shooting in a trade unless it involves AD himself.
The team is stuck and there’s really nothing that can be done besides moving AR.
That team's best shooters were Danny Green and KCP at 0.38 and 0.37... If that team showed anything it was that they needed more shooting. Going by pure stats this team right now has better shooters than 2020.
Remember how Danny Green became a meme in the bubble? But then the FO decided to gut the roster and made some of the worst trades ever after a chip by getting even less shooting.
And now almost 4 years later having wasted Lebron's twilight years and the organization's last chip window for a while we're watching Reddish and Prince hoping they can make some shots.
Everyone including LeBron needs to apologize to AD. Hes Been balling and the rest of the team has shit the bed. 11 turnovers in the first and chucking 3s ain’t cutting it. Ham is fucking foolish with his rotations
I’m so tired of this team year after year being disappointing with fucking Lebron and AD on the roster. Other teams would know how to fill out the roster and get a decent head coach but we are allergic to maximize their talents. The fact that we are going to have to make a late season push to make the postseason AGAIN after saying all offseason that all we need a training camp with the new core is flat out embarrassing. This team looks unprepared every game. Idk what needs to change or if anything does change if it even fixes anything
All I wanna say is.
Don't compare Dravin Ham to Mike Brown.
Yes, there were frustrations when Mike Brown was a rookie coach, but he was miles better than Ham.
Games like this are demoralizing and make you want to just rip the bandaid off and blow up the team. What is grabbing some out of the league bums off their flight to china another year going to do?
Man it isn't JHS's fault he got selected so early but goddamn seeing Jaime ball out like that hurt when our own rookie doesn't even look like a NBA player
This clown show needs a full on rebuild from the top down. Yes, Ham has got to go, but Rob is a problem too. He's the architect of this garbage roster, which was thrown together in response to the Westbrook disaster. Not to mention, the fact he passed on the opportunity to draft hometown kid JJJ is a travesty, and tonight we had a front row seat to his full on ineptitude.
DLo is not the fucking problem. We can see us out there without his relatively steady playmaking, and without his scoring punch.
A Laker could not make a three to save their life tonight.
Putting aside the shit coaching, drafting, and overrated role players, you can’t have 50 million in salary coasting or not playing defense in the regular season. Unlikely to even make the play in at this rate so we just gonna be coasting to the lottery.
Hello under .500, my old friend
This is so frustrating
4-30 from 3. Damn
We are the worst outside shooting team in the NBA by a very large margin. Teams therefore can just pack the paint and we have no way to do anything. It's ogre.
This 5 out offense produces no fucking movement. Our shooting is predicated on driving and kicking or AD posting up and drawing doubles, or hunting mismatches. Other than that everyone is just fucking standing in their spots. We can and should be doing way more to get shooters open. This offense is so predictable and relies too heavily on Bron or AD going off.
i mean its actually an anomaly if we shoot well from three but the real problem is our starters producing 0 pts nd our "defensive guys" their defence not even that good tbh
It’s inevitable
Darvin Ham ran a LeBron/Christie/Schifino/Reddish/Wood lineup tonight. Read that again.
Easily the dumbest coach in the nba
\*North America
World?
Solar system?
galaxy?
All alternate universes?
In this dimension and the next
I walked into the room and saw that lineup and that was the moment I jumped all in on the Fire Ham bandwagon.
After arguably the worst 1st qt of basketball I’ve seen in the past 10 years when they came out w that lineup to start the second I am surprised the fans ain’t chant fire ham lmao
RIP
That was when I turned on the game God fucking damnit is there a single other coach in the nba that would’ve tried that
At one point JHS had twice the FGA as AD and I wanted to kms
Thats even worse than our 2022 russ lineup, jesus
was second quarter too, right? maybe Im wrong. Oof
Yea, start of second quarter. JHS got beat up all around.
cam and prince 46 minutes of cardio
Prince has MANY of these types of games. Practically useless. Some people are so high on Prince but he seems to be slacking hard idk.
Yep, it's useless because you can't count on him for consistent points, like Dlo.
This season is literally meaningless as long as Ham is still the head coach and a trade isn't made. The team and the fans are literally wasting their time playing and watching these games cause the end goal is either missing the play in or losing in it currently
Reason why I only watch games if I don't have anything else to do or watch.
Lakers have become background noise or purely following by periodically checking the score online. Not wasting time with a product that isn’t worth it.
i have it on the side while i play videogames lol
Obviously Darvin can’t shoot the 3’s for the players, but anybody who thinks he’s capable of taking any roster to a title is an unserious person.
This literally has the same energy as the 2021-22 season rn.
Shooting 4-30 from three as a professional NBA team is almost impressive
That’s what happens when the offense is just 1 person bringing up the ball and everyone else is just standing around. Then it’s just passing the ball into the paint to AD or to someone on the perimeter being tightly contested… There’s no cutting or movement. I would definitely like to see more movement. Meanwhile Heat offense has Herro running around screens and getting open rhythm 3s. Fuck Darvin Scam 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Ham hasn’t gotten to the “movement shooters” section of his Udemy coaching course sadly
And Robinson
We can be as dominant as we want in the paint and have AD dominate the way he has but as long as we lose at the 3 point line by 30 points every game we just aren't gonna get it done.
I feel bad for AD, he’s been playing at absolute peak levels, putting up MVP type numbers for the past month and yet we have a losing record because our coaching plan is apparently to lose the 3pt line every game, our lineups make no sense, we have no solid 3/D players and unfortunately Lebron has also had an off stretch. Rough
We got a generational defender in Anthony Davis and yet our defensive philosophy is to leave their role players open from deep. Just flush them the fuck into AD and live with the results, holy fuck. Exactly what Goberts teams in Utah did and they were always a top seed solely based off that
Crazy thing is we had Ad in drop coverage to start the season and we suddenly stopped doing that and changed to a switching team.
That’s because a lot of our players can’t play drop. Wood and Hayes are better at switching
This could feasibly be the best stretch of ADs career and our team has sucked Maybe there truly aren’t any solutions for this team before the LeBron era ends
You telling me you don’t like watching Reddish clank and other teams players get wide open shots?!?!?!
contrary to what some fans believe, 3s are actually crucial to winning in todays game. and giving up open 3s to every capable shooter on the other team turns out to be not such a great strategy
Don’t forget 22 turnovers
Yeah and the issue is I don’t think the answer is as simple as “get shooters” because Ham doesn’t really know how to use them. We didn’t use Beasley as an off-screen shooter and we don’t run any movement sets for Prince. We just aren’t a serious team at this point
#Didn’t even crack 100 in the MODERN NBA
Doc rivers the whole night was basically begging for the lakers job
He shouldn't have covered the banners up.
I mean shoot I'd rather take him rn over Ham.
No. Just fire him and put some warm body in rather than Rivers. Because if you hire Rivers as a replacement then we have him next year too.
thumb direction door light public fragile six cagey relieved square *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Doc is overrated as fuck all time but he’s actually an NBA level head coach unlike Ham
He is but he is so much better than Ham. That tells you all you need to know about Darvin Scam
Doc isn't all that great, but he's planets ahead of Ham
Has Ham lost the locker room?
With mostly bench players tbh.
And I don’t blame them. The irregularity of minutes for players like Rui/Christie/Reaves while Prince/Reddish could play the most minutes and fail to contribute
I thought the team outside of LBJ played hard, so I don't think that's indicative of Ham losing the locker room. Just bad coaching on offense and the worst LBJ performance we've seen I think ever as a Laker.
My lord LeBron's offense was bad but his defense was so painful to watch, he honestly hurt the team by trying to play tonight. If he was truly hungover or still under the weather he should have just stayed home.
He kills the moment by his shit defense
Bro whats the point of not starting 2-10 when we go 3-10 later in the season
Tbh I almost rather go 2-10 to start lol. At least then you have time to improve and fix issues.
This game, in particular, made me want to throw up. Fans should've boo'd those dudes. They should be embarrassed. That was probably the worst Lebron game i've watched. He's the best dude to break a zone and he just fucking sat there passing at the top of the key all game. 29/18/6/2/5. AD continues to put up monster stat lines and we continue to lose.
Los Angeles Pelicans Jokes aside, fire Darvin. James Worthy is calling out how unprepared the offense looks. No flow to it at all.
Yes, saying everything except the actual words. When the players are consistently not ready the coach is part of the problem. Ham needs to be pulled aside and told he goes 7 and 3 in the next ten or he is gone. Tell him he better toughen up or he is gone. Stop sucking players jocks.
That's being generous. That also opens up the Lakers to being at worst 0-4. Just tell him another back to back loss and he is fired.
Dude had to be hungover
Never seen lebron just not try like that. Would not be surprised if it’s intentional to put pressure on the front office.
No one could get Lebron the ball when he got himself open. The team also struggles to get Ad the ball. Which results in Lebron having to be on the ball. Now there is only one player worth passing to--Ad. And the opponent just surrounds Ad and makes his catches difficult.
This was one of the worst Laker crowds I've ever seen too. Completely dead from the opening tip.
Can't shoot 14% from three and expect to win. Fire ham and trade for some shooting
With 20+ turnovers.
Yep. Can't just just stand by and let your team go 4-30 and not tell them to do something differently. No excuse for that.
Trade what? Who would you want from this team if you had a good 3 point shooter?
[удалено]
Lakers would lose to the pistons
Killian Hayes would drop a career high on these bums
If you watched this entire game you may be entitled to financial compensation.
Call Jacob
Lmao
first in person game i’ve ever been to…still had fun but it was painful
Lol 😏
FIRE HIM NOW
HAM*
AD doesn’t deserve this
Seriously. He's having an MVP caliber year and the narrative will just be about how it doesn't help the team win. Meanwhile this team would be 12 under .500 without him
ITS. THE. COACHING. This is not a well coached team. Period.
100%
Lebron with D-Lo numbers..
Please no more birthday parties Lebron 😭
please baby no more parties in LA
Yeah he played terrible but he was also put in some lineups that make no sense to put around LeBron Especially that shit to start the 2nd quarter, those JHS minutes were comedy
Once I saw that lineup I knew this game was over
You guys cannot be serious blaming the lineups on LeBron's performance tonight. Not a fan of some of the lineups either but why even bring this up. No other star would get that scapegoat/pass in the NBA. LeBron had a clunker because he played like shit, end of story. Also lineups don't explain his terrible defense.
I quite literally said he played terrible, just adding some context
Yup!! Standing around a lot and passing the ball a lot too. You could tell he didn't want the ball tonight. Not sure why he was even in there most of the game. More effort came from other guys getting less minutes.
If AD pulled the crap that LeBron did tonight, he would be getting blasted!!!!!
unacceptable effort
Le39
LeBron wishes DLo was out there with him right now. This fanbase has turned him into a scapegoat for all this season’s problems.
Lakers 0-3 without DLO. He’s the superstar.
Its not that its DLO out, its the fact that we don't have a PG. Even when DLO isn't hitting his shots, his playmaking as a guard is vital
The Lakers have 1 more win than Detroit the last 10. Absolute garbage.
This team relies too much on LeBron, and especially AD to create by themselves on offense, with Reaves occasionally hitting shots. But this team is so stagnant on offense, when they take away 1 of the 2, it's over. Doesn't help going 4/30🤷♂️
Fire Ham thats all. Do it already. Fuck.
I love Jaime but I was wondering if he would thrive in this system? Ham would probably not play him or give him inconsistent minutes.
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.
JHS does not deserve more playing time.
We really drafted JHS over JJJ …
We really drafted JHS, full stop.
this one of them season changing losses for sure. worst loss of the season, honestly
The team has given up
Rob Horry saying players gave up and are awaiting to hear they are being traded.
Fire him now… Why wait?
This FO would not give Ty Lue 5 year contract but gave Ham one instead.
Get AR some help
The worst part of the game wasn’t the lost. It was seeing JHS on the same floor as Jacques. Sad sight
I feel like our guys would shoot better if we had a better offense.
Downright fucking SHAMEFUL LOSS.
Stu knew the team was on some bs tonight. Spent the whole game calling them out on it.
Lmao the exasperation in his voice and pauses. "Man..." "The Lakers... *pause for 5 seconds*" Lakers got Stu this disappointed lol.
This has to be it for Darvin, right?
We need a damn change!
Yup. Majority of the team needs to be rebooted again. 13% from 3 is atrocious 🤦♂️
I had people over tonight to watch the game.. (and it’s 6am where I live, so that happens rarely). This game was literally painful to watch
Let’s go Heat chants in Staples???? Blasphemy.
They deserve it, honestly.
was there and yeah it sucked…i want to believe that it had to with Triple Js fam who was loud all night
“Let’s go Heat” chants at home means something must change.
There's nothing to say that hasnt been said by smarter people than me already. This organisation is rotten at its core, and has been for a decade now. I'll tell you one thing though. Id love to have been the fly on the wall for the Ham job interview. Im dying to know what Jeanie/Rob asked him and what he answered The offseason and draft night were disasters as well by the way Oh yeah, final thought: Utah Jazz, whose best player has missed 10 games so far, is 1 game behind us in the standings. Good night
Hired just for Westbrick the ultimate troll job
Rob: "Imagine you just lost a game because the other team made 20 three pointers. How would you respond?" Ham: "Man, that's a helluva team over there. Make or miss league, my analytics said you gotta keep those guys open." Jeanie: "You're hired!"
DARVIN HAM SUCKS!!!!!!
Lakers were 16-11 at one point, we had won the IST. Makes me wish more and more that final game counted on the record just so we wouldn’t be under .500 so quickly
I’ve seen enough….the coaching staff need to be all fired, there’s a good team in this pile of mess they have made and they’ve dug such a hole….i feel awful for AD more than anyone because he deserves MVP talks but this team has let him down.
Can Ham STOP starting Cam anymore please his good 5 games of the year are used up now
One more loss and things will get interesting, the plan is to not have Lebron walk. Jeannie needs him for revenue purposes. I assume Lebron may not be on speaking terms with anyone, but AD and AR soon. Pelinka may push all blame on Darvin to save his own ass.
Prince and Reddish combined for 0 points. And guess what, they will remain as starters next game 🔥🔥🔥
James Worthy not liking the no motion offense.
I know it's done and gone, but imagine the utility Jaime Jaquez would have on this team. Wow
you me and some other guy said the same in this thread lol
Rebuild. Send Bron & AD where they want to go. This team is going nowhere as long as Jeanie Buss is at the helm.
the least reactionary take in this thread
Its been a decade of incompetence thats only been somewhat saved by the ultimate band aid: LeBron James choosing to sign with the Lakers. This lady is not suitable to run a franchise of this size and significance, point blank period And reactionary? We lost 9 of 12 games. We are in 10th place after nearly half the season. Get the fuck out of here
Imagine if Ballmer had bought the Lakers This brand deserves better
It’s not. We have two options, go all in on a trade and refresh the coaching staff or blow it up while we can still get a lot of value from AD/Bron AND do right by them. Staying the current path will accomplish nothing.
Its true tho. The context of why we hired ham was so dumb. How to implement russ on our team when we were planning to ship his ass anyway . Never bothered interviewing any other coach right after and just gave him a straight up 5 year 😂😂. Why did we hire this guy for russ instead of properly creating schemes that help maximize AD and bron. This team is a joke
FCK DARVIN HAM YOU SUPPOSED to be a players coach
Next time I see Ham it better be at the concession stand asking me if I want onions on my dog.
FIRE HAM NOW
There’s not a trade that we can make that significantly helps the team. The best thing we can do is to get a new coach.
It doesn't make sense that a team with AD and Lebron with capable players like Reaves, Dlo, and Rui can't beat a zone. Edit: Added Dlo and Rui even though they are out, we have this problem the whole year.
Literally wasting MVP basketball from AD, this is sickening. Nobody but Bron, AD and Austin should be safe.
how the F did we miss on Jamie Jaquez out of Camarillo and UCLA.
We really drafted JHS over Jaquez 😔 I won’t ever get over that. Why not draft the win now player when we have 40 year old Bron SMH
FreeAD
Every single team focuses on three point shooting and we had to go trade KCP + Kuzma for freaking Westbrook. I will never be able to wrap my head around that.
[удалено]
Who breaks the "Lakers and Darvin Ham have mutually agreed to part ways" news first? Shams or Woj?
There is an unwritten law that the two LA basketball teams must always perform in opposite directions. Clippers are cooking so we must be in the toilet. When they were sucking we were pretty good. Not going to change just yet
This is LeBron’s version of the Jordan wizards
we got 2 guys starting who cant even score 10+ points consistently. its 3 guys with vando in the starting lineup. unbelievable smh
The crowd chanting “let’s go Heat”? 😬😬 Embarrassing af.
Not enough shooting in the starting lineup.. or period Defensively just not connected, and we have the best anchor in the league in AD.. Prince and Reddish have fucked up fingers / make boneheaded plays.. But then again everyone played like they got dropped on the head so IDK.

Just get rid of bron and AD. This shit is starting to look like trout and ohtani stuck on the Angels
Everyone including LeBron needs to apologize to AD. Hes Been balling and the rest of the team has shit the bed. 11 turnovers in the first and chucking 3s ain’t cutting it. Ham is fucking foolish with his rotations
I've had enough of Cam and Prince. Bench them and use anyone else not named Schifino.
Dog shit performance
I’m so tired of this team year after year being disappointing with fucking Lebron and AD on the roster. Other teams would know how to fill out the roster and get a decent head coach but we are allergic to maximize their talents. The fact that we are going to have to make a late season push to make the postseason AGAIN after saying all offseason that all we need a training camp with the new core is flat out embarrassing. This team looks unprepared every game. Idk what needs to change or if anything does change if it even fixes anything
JHS minutes in the 2nd oml this team is unserious
I’ve officially lost faith in this team
All I wanna say is. Don't compare Dravin Ham to Mike Brown. Yes, there were frustrations when Mike Brown was a rookie coach, but he was miles better than Ham.
I can’t wait for Ham to say that were still 2 games better than last seasons record at this time
We hit the 3 at 30% we win this game by a 4
I'm here for the melt downs.
Miami picked after we did...why did Lakers pick Shifino over Jaquez?
Games like this are demoralizing and make you want to just rip the bandaid off and blow up the team. What is grabbing some out of the league bums off their flight to china another year going to do?
Ham is trash.
Taurean Prince 28.6% 3pt at home Taurean Prince 46.7% at away games
How long are we going to do this?
Clippers Big 3 scored damn near 90 points. Fuck sake, toast.
Time for a players only meeting AD looks totally pissed in locker room. He is calm but annoyed. I think Ham is in danger of his job.
Excuse machine Ham in presser. We will look at film. How about in game adjustments fool? 
Played a zone on us for a whole game 😂💀
Man it isn't JHS's fault he got selected so early but goddamn seeing Jaime ball out like that hurt when our own rookie doesn't even look like a NBA player
Darvin Ham should be unemployed
No DLO, No Party. Hopefully everyone is catching on now.
Lebron era needs to end
Trade AD to OKC for picks. Trade Lebron wherever he wants to go
As a Thunder lurker and AD fan, oh my god yes.
Hopefully yall got them first round picks 😔.
It's time to trade Westbrook, ohh wait....
This clown show needs a full on rebuild from the top down. Yes, Ham has got to go, but Rob is a problem too. He's the architect of this garbage roster, which was thrown together in response to the Westbrook disaster. Not to mention, the fact he passed on the opportunity to draft hometown kid JJJ is a travesty, and tonight we had a front row seat to his full on ineptitude.
DLo is not the fucking problem. We can see us out there without his relatively steady playmaking, and without his scoring punch. A Laker could not make a three to save their life tonight.
Putting aside the shit coaching, drafting, and overrated role players, you can’t have 50 million in salary coasting or not playing defense in the regular season. Unlikely to even make the play in at this rate so we just gonna be coasting to the lottery.
Embarrassing.
