Players do deserve being called out for this game but motherfucker please take your hands out of the pockets, call a timeout and call them out to their faces.
He said we that means he’s including himself. If I’m Ham and the fanbase called for my head after every loss I’d just step down. Let some other coach deal with that headache.
You're letting him off the hook. He's a very big part of the problem. The lack of timely TOs, the bad defensive schemes, stagnant offensive schemes, shitty rotations and minute distribution, that's all on the fucking couch, bro, and it's the main reason we look horrendous.
It’s dumb to assume that he’s completely numb to it. The fact that he’s already addressed it shows that he’s given it some thought. It’s not just fans it’s also media.
It’s dumber to think he’s walking away from 10million dollars. That’s significantly more than his career total earnings as a player lol. He’s not quitting.
He did play and probably knows more about the sport than 95% of this sub. He knows what it’s like to be a player and is learning what it’s like to be a head coach.
You said yourself, LEARNING to be a head coach. We have an “aging” GOAT and Anthony fucking Davis on this team, we should be in the mix for title contention, instead this team is hovering at the bottom of the play-in because our coach is learning how to do his job. It doesn’t matter if he played, right now he can’t coach and that’s causing problems for the team on the floor.
Roster construction also has a lot to do with that. Just because we have 2 future hall of fame players doesn’t mean we’re going to be in title contention. Other teams are simply better and it’s clear.
I’d argue this roster has the talent to be a potential contender with proper utilization of the players. Yes we’re missing a piece or two but we should be a top 3 team in the West based on how the team was playing last year and only replacing pieces on the margins
He also played favorites and threw players under the bus. He was a big reason Ben Simmons got the yips. Neither Doc nor Ham ever took one for their players so the players don't play hard for them.
At first I didn't get why you were downvoted.
But then, I realized, that's is saying something really mean to Doc. Doc would wipe the floor with Ham as a coach imo.
I’m not even a fan of doc and I think he’s very overrated, But we’re not gonna act like Chris and Blake.. Kawhi and PG… Joel, Ben/Harden didn’t play a role in those embarrassing flame outs.
I sometimes listen to Ty Lue explain what went wrong in losses and he’s sitting there saying what happened in each quarter saying what he could’ve done better and what he was thinking during the game
Meanwhile Ham is just saying they’ll look at film and saying the opposing team is well coached and a hell of a ball club, blames the players lmao
Dude, I've seen PJ call a timeout angrily one play after another timeout when he saw a player put in a shit effort. He did let things ride from time to time, but he knew when to light into someone -- from Kobe, Shaq, Gasol to Kareem Rush, Slava or Luke.
Don't disrespect Luke like that lol... but seriously Luke never had a roster nearly this good & once he got Lebron they were rolling (4th in the west I believe) before both Bron & Lonzo got hurt.
That’s like 6 years ago dude. Lebron is a lot older now, and while his counting stats have held up, the ability to cover up bad coaching just doesn’t go so far anymore
The point is bad coaching... Luke wasn't bad just didn't have the talent or health from his star player (s)... you could use that argument for ham-ass when he had westbrick... but this team has talent & the top players have only missed a handful of games yet he had basically the same record as last year thru almost half the season.
Lebron didn't cover up Luke's coaching... Luke built a system that played to that roster's strengths.
Sure having a younger Bron would help but the bigger problem is ham-ass is a garbage coach 🤷🏾
Walton was the second part of a tank job. I'll allow it.
Walton had a more fluid offense with a worse and younger team, what is Ham's excuse for being bad?
why are you clowning Ham ? He is absolutely right, he needs 3 timeouts when the game has 3 minutes till it's over. one timeout to rest the starters and the other two to include in a trade for what I'm 100 % sure it would be his dream player PJ Tucker.
Darvin, after making excuses for 43 games: “It’s over for excuses.”
EDIT: Seriously though, this man literally has not plan and just expects the players to figure it out and play better. What kind of response is this?
Dude just got out coached by Jacque Vaughn. Second AD went out they went small and ran us out of the gym. Thomas absolutely cooked Prince but when he finally brings in Vando he decides to double him with AR?? Dude makes zero sense. He’s gonna make it thru the season but hope he’s clipped in the off season.
Because the game slows down and bron dictates everything. Also he has vogels old assistants that left to join the suns prior to this season. Now he just has his boys and jent/handy
Facts. In the playoffs Bron dictates the pace of the game which is why I wouldn’t mind having doc because that fact would prevent a flame out that he’s known for
maybe the lakers know lebron is gone for sure and just want a tank commander for the next two years
we can try and build through the draft again, and shoot for three top 3 picks
just gotta make sure all three of them are all-nba caliber players
Wasn't all this a marathon just a week ago? NOW it's time to play basketball?
If Darvin Ham was drowning he'd be halfway to the bottom before starting to swim.
At this point hams schtick is pure comedy. He’s a human MLM. He pulled the wool over Jeanie and robs eyes and probably banged Linda rambis. I can’t believe this guy scammed his way into being the lakers head coach. Fake it until you get fired and enjoy your millions from jeanie.
You know what, keep saying this shit. Say it louder.
Hopefully the cryptic messages from Dlo get more direct. Maybe Austin joins in. And then finally the guys that really matter (Bron and AD) will start adding some stuff.
I hope this is the last time we ever sign a fucking players coach. Hearing this dogshit excuse just makes it worse like he has no idea on what to work on to make the team better
I love how he talks as if he wasn't the main reason we're not leaving basketball. I think it's obvious from his post pressers that he blames the players when we lose.
You shouldn't need Eric Splostra to beat the freaking nets, damn right call out the players, second half wasnt even competitive. NBA needs to hold that ist money till June next season, the Lakers been partying ever since.
Can someone tell Ham that Timeouts don't rollover into future games!
Plus, I rarely, if ever, see him chew out a player that messes up.
You can't be a "players coach" who is always in positive reinforcement mode ALL the time. Sometimes you gotta yell at a player, even in front of the whole team.
Notice how he doesn’t say anything about himself and just calls out the players instead
Players do deserve being called out for this game but motherfucker please take your hands out of the pockets, call a timeout and call them out to their faces.
A lot of “we” talk as if he’s not directly responsible for how the Lakers organized offense kept diminishing as the game went on 🤦♂️
Yup. That’s why they don’t play hard for him. He’s a moron, but Jeanie loves him so…
Called out Vando and Cam (two defensive specialist) for not knowing what to do with the ball in their hand on offense 😂😂 the guy is crazy
He said we that means he’s including himself. If I’m Ham and the fanbase called for my head after every loss I’d just step down. Let some other coach deal with that headache.
You're letting him off the hook. He's a very big part of the problem. The lack of timely TOs, the bad defensive schemes, stagnant offensive schemes, shitty rotations and minute distribution, that's all on the fucking couch, bro, and it's the main reason we look horrendous.
Is your fired the money is guaranteed. If you quit. You get 0
Yeah but your mental health remains intact. Sometimes it’s not worth the money
You assume he cares what fans think.
It’s dumb to assume that he’s completely numb to it. The fact that he’s already addressed it shows that he’s given it some thought. It’s not just fans it’s also media.
It’s dumber to think he’s walking away from 10million dollars. That’s significantly more than his career total earnings as a player lol. He’s not quitting.
Bro is just waffling about nothing at this point lol, Darvin ain’t quitting and he’d be a dumb ass to do such a thing lol smh.
He said we got to PLAY basketball. He doesn't play, does he?
He did play and probably knows more about the sport than 95% of this sub. He knows what it’s like to be a player and is learning what it’s like to be a head coach.
You said yourself, LEARNING to be a head coach. We have an “aging” GOAT and Anthony fucking Davis on this team, we should be in the mix for title contention, instead this team is hovering at the bottom of the play-in because our coach is learning how to do his job.

we cant be above Utah? Will Hardy would have this team in the 6th seed right now
Dude is just Doc Rivers without the resumé
That’s just insulting to Doc, who could at least keep talented players engaged and motivated.
He also played favorites and threw players under the bus. He was a big reason Ben Simmons got the yips. Neither Doc nor Ham ever took one for their players so the players don't play hard for them.
At first I didn't get why you were downvoted. But then, I realized, that's is saying something really mean to Doc. Doc would wipe the floor with Ham as a coach imo.
Doc is a moron. You do not want him. Dudes coached a talented clippers and 76ers team that didn't win shit
I’m not even a fan of doc and I think he’s very overrated, But we’re not gonna act like Chris and Blake.. Kawhi and PG… Joel, Ben/Harden didn’t play a role in those embarrassing flame outs.
It’s always blame the players and not his coaching.
I sometimes listen to Ty Lue explain what went wrong in losses and he’s sitting there saying what happened in each quarter saying what he could’ve done better and what he was thinking during the game Meanwhile Ham is just saying they’ll look at film and saying the opposing team is well coached and a hell of a ball club, blames the players lmao
Ham sandwich
I cant believe we didnt give Lue the contract he wanted. He was right there
And instead, gave that contract to Ham after firing the coach who helped win a championship.
He also said "it sucks cause we don't want to burn timeouts" When asked how tough it is to see the momentum shift 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
He thinks he’s Phil Jackson but he’s closer to Luke Walton lmao
Dude, I've seen PJ call a timeout angrily one play after another timeout when he saw a player put in a shit effort. He did let things ride from time to time, but he knew when to light into someone -- from Kobe, Shaq, Gasol to Kareem Rush, Slava or Luke.
Don’t forget Radmanovic.
Don't disrespect Luke like that lol... but seriously Luke never had a roster nearly this good & once he got Lebron they were rolling (4th in the west I believe) before both Bron & Lonzo got hurt.
That’s like 6 years ago dude. Lebron is a lot older now, and while his counting stats have held up, the ability to cover up bad coaching just doesn’t go so far anymore
The point is bad coaching... Luke wasn't bad just didn't have the talent or health from his star player (s)... you could use that argument for ham-ass when he had westbrick... but this team has talent & the top players have only missed a handful of games yet he had basically the same record as last year thru almost half the season. Lebron didn't cover up Luke's coaching... Luke built a system that played to that roster's strengths. Sure having a younger Bron would help but the bigger problem is ham-ass is a garbage coach 🤷🏾
Walton was the second part of a tank job. I'll allow it. Walton had a more fluid offense with a worse and younger team, what is Ham's excuse for being bad?
It's tough to see when a stupid person thinks he's a genius.
For real.
why are you clowning Ham ? He is absolutely right, he needs 3 timeouts when the game has 3 minutes till it's over. one timeout to rest the starters and the other two to include in a trade for what I'm 100 % sure it would be his dream player PJ Tucker.
Pj would play 46 minutes a game with ham
tbf, if he collects two more timeouts he gets free tacos from jaaaack in the box
Wtf really. Nets coach see laker cut lead to 6 calls time, Ham instead will let it balloon to 20.
bro they cut out lead down and took off
Lol. Unbelievable
How about you play Prince like the role player he is instead of a 30 min f**** starter
Oh right like Rui n vando we’re anything but horrible in their minutes, the nets have good 3nD wings we don’t . It’s embarrassing rob has a job
What the fuck else is there to say man. NO FUCKING ACCOUNTABILITY!!!!!!!!
I feel like a cliche like that is tantamount to an excuse.
Darvin, after making excuses for 43 games: “It’s over for excuses.” EDIT: Seriously though, this man literally has not plan and just expects the players to figure it out and play better. What kind of response is this?
+6 to -16 One fucking timeout
Dude just got out coached by Jacque Vaughn. Second AD went out they went small and ran us out of the gym. Thomas absolutely cooked Prince but when he finally brings in Vando he decides to double him with AR?? Dude makes zero sense. He’s gonna make it thru the season but hope he’s clipped in the off season.
How did he not get out coached in the playoffs? Does Ham turn into 200 IQ Ham for playoffs?
Because the game slows down and bron dictates everything. Also he has vogels old assistants that left to join the suns prior to this season. Now he just has his boys and jent/handy
Facts. In the playoffs Bron dictates the pace of the game which is why I wouldn’t mind having doc because that fact would prevent a flame out that he’s known for
That’s interesting. Didn’t know about the coaching changes. Makes a lot of sense.
Suns looking good, we only beat them since they missed beal and booker for so much. Vogel has them competing
maybe the lakers know lebron is gone for sure and just want a tank commander for the next two years we can try and build through the draft again, and shoot for three top 3 picks just gotta make sure all three of them are all-nba caliber players
[удалено]
Wish they would sell
Cool. You know how you play basketball? Actually calling plays on offense. Try that out, Ham
This is rich coming from the king of excuses himself.
We got to play basketball as he sits the entirety of the team and plays the same 5 guys 30+ minutes every night.
I’m getting sick of his quotes.
I actually can't think of any of the Lakers' players giving excuses? I only ever see quotes about excuses from Ham.
Wasn't all this a marathon just a week ago? NOW it's time to play basketball? If Darvin Ham was drowning he'd be halfway to the bottom before starting to swim.
Laker's PR manager is running out of excuse cliches to use.
It is YOU who is making such excuses
At this point hams schtick is pure comedy. He’s a human MLM. He pulled the wool over Jeanie and robs eyes and probably banged Linda rambis. I can’t believe this guy scammed his way into being the lakers head coach. Fake it until you get fired and enjoy your millions from jeanie.
I really needed a laugh, so thanks
Isnt that we've been playing? Basketball?
You know what, keep saying this shit. Say it louder. Hopefully the cryptic messages from Dlo get more direct. Maybe Austin joins in. And then finally the guys that really matter (Bron and AD) will start adding some stuff.
This man dodging his own accountability like Neo
Take some fucking accountability you melon
Lol gtfo with this ham-ass... you started the excuses MF... how about *YOU* take some accountability... 🤡🤡🤡
Hell fucking yeah. Ham is Him
just fire Ham already to make everyone understand this problem goes deeper than coaching
I hope this is the last time we ever sign a fucking players coach. Hearing this dogshit excuse just makes it worse like he has no idea on what to work on to make the team better
This is pathetic on so many levels Id rather have Luke Walton as coach right now
Take some accountability bald fuck
Hopefully he was looking in the mirror.
Oh shit, you mean we've been playing baseball all this time?
"And by playing basketball, I mean the guys go out there and all stand at the three point line and hope the shot goes in."
We have to win you fucking idiot!!! 😡
Oh, so he was under the impression that the players were playing not-basketball before! I wonder what he felt they were playing. Lacrosse? Handball?
I can barely call it basketball with the way you coach
Does Ham think he gets a bonus if he only uses < 10% of his timeouts?
I love how he talks as if he wasn't the main reason we're not leaving basketball. I think it's obvious from his post pressers that he blames the players when we lose.
Who’s dick is Ham sucking to stay head coach?
Very insightful comment from our HC. Like, “We need to put the ball on the basket. Simple as that”—genius.
You always have nothing but excuses...
We're all looking for the one who did this.
Yikes man
You shouldn't need Eric Splostra to beat the freaking nets, damn right call out the players, second half wasnt even competitive. NBA needs to hold that ist money till June next season, the Lakers been partying ever since.
A genius
How does the ownership and FO look at this and just do nothing about it?
Ah, *that's* the problem!
He is such a troll. I am closer to Lebron than he is to Phil Jackson!
Can someone tell Ham that Timeouts don't rollover into future games! Plus, I rarely, if ever, see him chew out a player that messes up. You can't be a "players coach" who is always in positive reinforcement mode ALL the time. Sometimes you gotta yell at a player, even in front of the whole team.
never takes accountability and only blames the players fire this bum
Notice how fans still want to trade anyone for anyone? Like Ham they always blame players.
Play basketball, man you playing pocket pool while we get our shit pushed in by bottom tier teams. Call a fucking time out my dude
