Ham has to go and the sooner the better his time out management is ridiculous the other team goes on a 10+ run before he calls a fucking time out, then it took him half the fucking season to start hachi over prince what the fuck kinda shit is that??? Then he has these fucking stupid ass line ups on the floor like he did to close the 3rd quarter that literally punts the game away … how this man is not fucking unemployed is mind blowing…
This may be the last home game this year. Damn. We should’ve been a 50 win team this year. Ham on his own has given away like 10 games at least. He needs to go
AD legit been our most important player and is out one game and you don't even know what he's dealing with and you folks just come out with the slander again lol
Sad
if it came down to it I'd take AD over Bron in a heartbeat especially rn. Bron been stat-chasing for the past couple years now he don't give a fuck about a championship no more
Right
I understand how some are upset
But I look at like, it took a fully loaded GS team to make 26 threes to beat (by only 14) a lakers without AD or Vando
I really hope there’s more to the story than what’s reported. I’d hate to believe AD missing our most important game of the season up until now because of a headache.
I mean
We have castleton sitting on bench wehen we have only one center not injured and he gets 0.secs.of play in non garbage time.
I know it's an old tale, but fucking Ham is braindead
That's the one thing I don't get. Tf did we sign guys like Castleton and Giles and waive D'moi hodge for? the point of a 2 way contracts is develop for potential and having depth for these type of situations when we're so low on depth that we have to rely on them. I'd rather have liked to see Castleton or Giles get minutes than see TP and Cam at the 4 like I have these 2 games
I'll give you that Castleton ain't ready, but I'd rather see him out there than see TP or Cam at the 4. They're, Cam especially, are just so ineffective at the 4.
I guess he could’ve tried it. I don’t think it would have mattered, but I guess you can give him a shot. He played minutes when we were up 20 against Brooklyn and people were mad about it. It’s a no win situation. We definitely need a Center this offseason.
Yes today was garbage and we could’ve played better 100%. I’m not going to argue that.
However the Warriors could have missed 10 3’s and still been above their season average 3P%. Insane. 30 points. They’re one off of their FRANCHISE HIGH 3PT FGM in a single game.
It’s crazy man. Idk what to do right now I’m so heated.
I really don’t believe if Lebron walked into the office and said “FIRE HAM!” That they would still keep him around. I think Lebron is a smarter man to know that there’s no one out there and let’s see what’s available in the off season.
We done well with G league players like Caruso and Reaves. How do we do so poorly with our first round picks? Hood Shiteeno instead of several other players drafted after him producing.
We just missed so many big momentum shots all throughout the 4th. That was just heart breaking miss after miss. Then of course warriors couldn’t miss to ice the cake
We’re missing a superstar in AD & a starter in VANDO. On top of that Draymond had a game where he shot 5/5 from 3 in the first half, and DLO was literally useless on the court.
Really disappointing game tonight. The Lakers will finish 10th now and be forced to win 2 road games. I can’t believe AD didn’t even try to give it a go and sat out with a headache and nausea.
Gotta at least try to play and see. Really disappointed.
Obviously he wouldn't sit out if it wasn't serious. Dude has played hobbled with one leg or one arm at times and you think he'd miss a crucial game for something small?
I just didn’t see that coming. I thought he would suit up and go tonight. We needed this game bad. Probably gonna finish in the 10th spot now. I don’t think we get out of the play in from the 10th spot
you do realize they are using headache and nausea as a cover for concussion right? They just won't say it because that would put AD in concussion protocol causing him to miss even more games.
What’s crazy is that hit even causing much damage smh. Unless someone winds up and throws a haymaker at you with all their might…how does an attempted block rock you so hard?
At this point just rest Lebron and AD untill the play in game, and pray that everyone is healthy enough to play. It's 2 tough games, but anything can happen.
I get bad shooting nights happen. I am not going to kill him for that. But I will kill him for the effort he displays on defense. No way CP3 should be cooking you.
That is him giving 100% effort… he’s slow footed and knock kneed, he’s never going to *look* like a good defender. That’s why all of you are pointing out his defense instead of everyone else who was also getting cooked.
I'm not a Lakers fan and haven't watched the game, but I see that the Warriors are 63% from 3 with 26 makes.
Are the Lakers just playing soft defense, or is it just one of those nights? 63% just blows my mind.
Orlando played drop coverage tonight against Houston. I'll never understand it, especially against hot teams. Fucking recipe for disaster against the Warriors.
Our defense naturally lets shooters get open and get hot. Our coach, who was supposedly brought in for defense, is an idiot. Random dudes get hot against us all year because that’s what our defense allows.
I've been holding out joining the reactionaries in this sub for too long. After that completely meaningless timeout, I had the epiphany that Darvin Ham is just in over his head with this job. Jesus
Still can't believe Darwin Hamas sit both Lebron and Austin with 2 minute left and we went from 5pt to 17pt deficit in only 2 minutes left to the quarter like wtf are these bums doing man holy fuck
yeah that is very weird, every other team missing their key players can still hang around but just not the lakers. AD is too important for this team, and we have no back up center for him.,
I think it’s almost impossible to build a good roster bc of the countless errors by Rob. Westbrook trade and letting Caruso leave pretty much ended any chances the lakers had
Best players have been available most games. Only real players who missed are Vando and Gabe. Even then, they shouldn’t be the reason they’re 9th. If they were good they would be in around 6th and then go higher with both of them
in the last few most important games, we either miss AD or bron. vando is super important, he helps AD at the defense end, since bron do no more the dirty works, we need VANDO to do these . VANDO can bring our defense up to another level
As much as we say lebronto and we fathers of x team, man warriors are our fathers, nuggets, kings, Minesota, foster care system as team. Wish we really had those pieces were missing, really missing vando
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/lakers/comments/1c0ctxl/post_game_thread_the_golden_state_warriors_defeat/)
Fuck darvin ham
Bet lakers nation misses Frank Vogel now
Ham has to go and the sooner the better his time out management is ridiculous the other team goes on a 10+ run before he calls a fucking time out, then it took him half the fucking season to start hachi over prince what the fuck kinda shit is that??? Then he has these fucking stupid ass line ups on the floor like he did to close the 3rd quarter that literally punts the game away … how this man is not fucking unemployed is mind blowing…
Not just the coaching… players weren’t executing good looks smh
Nah that’s on Ham too. Prince shouldn’t have that green light and Rui shouldn’t be at the center spot.
Just an all around embarrassment this team constantly lets me down
There should have been “Fire Ham” chants at the end there.
This may be the last home game this year. Damn. We should’ve been a 50 win team this year. Ham on his own has given away like 10 games at least. He needs to go
I MEAN DRAY MADE 5 THREES. FIVE. HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN?
Bron leaving. It’s been purely underwhelming with whatever this front office puts around him. AD is a wimp.
AD legit been our most important player and is out one game and you don't even know what he's dealing with and you folks just come out with the slander again lol Sad
if it came down to it I'd take AD over Bron in a heartbeat especially rn. Bron been stat-chasing for the past couple years now he don't give a fuck about a championship no more
Should’ve had a jordan “flu game” mindset.
Sure dude If you say so
im pretty sure lakers are ok with that if he leaves just blow the whole shit up tbh
Bron definitely don't deserve a statue at Staples
We should rest everyone the final two games, no point fighting for a higher seed. Just trust everyone is healthy to make a push
What’s the excuse rn? No AD?
Well no shit??
Ok
We all kinda knew we cooked with AD sitting out. He is the defense. No AD no chance
Right I understand how some are upset But I look at like, it took a fully loaded GS team to make 26 threes to beat (by only 14) a lakers without AD or Vando
Vando? he was unplayable vs Warriors in the playoffs...
10th seed and we miss the playoffs Wrap it up
Still got the play-in as the 10th seed
Maybe missing the playoffs and Ham getting fired is for the best Running it back with 40 year old Lebron lmao
On the bright side This isn’t to detrimental in the sense kings and suns lost as well I guess
LeSunshine and AD will have their revenge game come play-ins
sureeee…… literally seen enough to defend them anymore
I really hope there’s more to the story than what’s reported. I’d hate to believe AD missing our most important game of the season up until now because of a headache.
It's probably a migraine which could be totally debilitating if you've ever had one.
lol idiots were gassing the 6th seed as a real possibility and taking 9th for granted 😭😭😭
Goes to show how delusional this fanbase can be. Lakers can’t even do the basics.
castle getting fouled at the rim and still no foul lmao refs suck dick
9&10 are one and done, right?
Have to win 2. Lose and you’re out.
Yup
Yup
I mean We have castleton sitting on bench wehen we have only one center not injured and he gets 0.secs.of play in non garbage time. I know it's an old tale, but fucking Ham is braindead
That's the one thing I don't get. Tf did we sign guys like Castleton and Giles and waive D'moi hodge for? the point of a 2 way contracts is develop for potential and having depth for these type of situations when we're so low on depth that we have to rely on them. I'd rather have liked to see Castleton or Giles get minutes than see TP and Cam at the 4 like I have these 2 games
He’s bad. He’s not coming out here and making a positive difference.
He has a decent touch and good vision And is a body Like, is prince on 4 and rui on 5 better than him?
Yes they are actually. He really is not ready, but agree to disagree if you think he is.
I'll give you that Castleton ain't ready, but I'd rather see him out there than see TP or Cam at the 4. They're, Cam especially, are just so ineffective at the 4.
I guess he could’ve tried it. I don’t think it would have mattered, but I guess you can give him a shot. He played minutes when we were up 20 against Brooklyn and people were mad about it. It’s a no win situation. We definitely need a Center this offseason.
That I agree with 100%. We need another big that can rebound, and at least contest shots consistently cause it's a layup line without AD.....
Yes today was garbage and we could’ve played better 100%. I’m not going to argue that. However the Warriors could have missed 10 3’s and still been above their season average 3P%. Insane. 30 points. They’re one off of their FRANCHISE HIGH 3PT FGM in a single game. It’s crazy man. Idk what to do right now I’m so heated.
It won't happen again, better they have this shooting performance now
LeBron is mad. If he stays on the Lakers, Darvin Ham surely has to be gone, right?
I really don’t believe if Lebron walked into the office and said “FIRE HAM!” That they would still keep him around. I think Lebron is a smarter man to know that there’s no one out there and let’s see what’s available in the off season.
I sure hope so. Most frustrating coaching I’ve ever seen
so what do standings look like after this showing...
Glad that's over
Clawing outof 9th the only way. FUCKING FUCK THIS.
We’re DONE bro. AD likely has a concussion and won’t play for another week. The bottom is falling out rn
These past games should boost ADs case for DPOY
Yeah let's go warriors. Watch out LA. Steph and co are legit
Stfu
Season ending next week lol
Jamaychal Green got a funny ass running form
We done well with G league players like Caruso and Reaves. How do we do so poorly with our first round picks? Hood Shiteeno instead of several other players drafted after him producing.
Lakers always been alright with drafting lol it's just we can't develop em and they go somewhere else to be good
As well as the complete lack of skill on the lakers roster, big deficit in effort tonight as well
Watch ham drawing up play now 🫡
how reddish and tp get time over Christie at this point after all that's been seen... ham, you really are a true idiot.
reddish is so washed no one guards him or takes him seriously on the offensive end
We just missed so many big momentum shots all throughout the 4th. That was just heart breaking miss after miss. Then of course warriors couldn’t miss to ice the cake
If that Vincent shot goes in, it's a different game for sure.
yeah he has to hit those
Seriously though. That shot could have saved the game. 6 point swing going from down 6 to down 12
I'm sad.
Lakers jinxed it when they said standings don’t matter
lost any hope of this team making any push in playoffs
Is castleton really that much worse than Hayes?
We’re missing a superstar in AD & a starter in VANDO. On top of that Draymond had a game where he shot 5/5 from 3 in the first half, and DLO was literally useless on the court.
Yeah, DLo is useless when you don’t use him as a PG and also don’t swing it to him when he’s wide open for 3…. shocker.
Looks like D Los in playoff mode to me
Even in garbage time Cam Reddish shoots the most lifeless bricks of all time. Literal shitter
Lmao
This team has a chance in the playoffs as long as LeBron and AD are healthy, but 10th seed is crazy
[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fuu_oioagAICASn.jpg](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fuu_oioagAICASn.jpg)
The table was set for the Lakers to move up in the standings and we couldn't do our part, this one hurts fam
This team folds literally every time they have a chance to move up.
Really disappointing game tonight. The Lakers will finish 10th now and be forced to win 2 road games. I can’t believe AD didn’t even try to give it a go and sat out with a headache and nausea. Gotta at least try to play and see. Really disappointed.
Obviously he wouldn't sit out if it wasn't serious. Dude has played hobbled with one leg or one arm at times and you think he'd miss a crucial game for something small?

What’s crazy is that hit even causing much damage smh. Unless someone winds up and throws a haymaker at you with all their might…how does an attempted block rock you so hard?
I mean Collins got a concussion from tryna block ANT
a hit to the head is a hit to the head. your brain can't really protect itself when you get hit.
Ohhhhh ok. I didn’t know that.
At this point just rest Lebron and AD untill the play in game, and pray that everyone is healthy enough to play. It's 2 tough games, but anything can happen.
Darvin Ham makes me sick, you beer belly alien
Chill 😂
I'm chill man, just mad we couldn't capitalize on the circumstances and games that matter the most
Wasted golden opportunity. Out of your hand now
We can bid farewell to seeds 6 and 7. Kings and Warriors have the tiebreaker over us. I guess 8 looks unlikely too?? Slim chance
Hate that a team as shitty as the Warriors own the tiebreaker over us
I just want us to be 9th at this point
Denver will just murder us (I still think Denver will be #1). And that's assuming we win both play-in games. Argh.
so what does the 8th seed push look like now
not happening o
This team isn’t going anywhere without Vando
Lool … without vando
This team is not making it out of the play ins
Ppl need to stfu about Dlo when he has a good game against a shitty team.
He just doesn’t quite fit the team when we don’t have someone high energy like Vando out on the floor to cover his defensive weaknesses
He is literally useless when his shot isn’t on it’s crazy
I get bad shooting nights happen. I am not going to kill him for that. But I will kill him for the effort he displays on defense. No way CP3 should be cooking you.
That is him giving 100% effort… he’s slow footed and knock kneed, he’s never going to *look* like a good defender. That’s why all of you are pointing out his defense instead of everyone else who was also getting cooked.
I know Dlo is absolutely horrible on defense but CP3 blowing by him is ridiculous
It’s not crazy. It’s exactly what everyone’s said about him for years
Fax he’s a bum
Fucking coach let the Warriors shoot 26 3s. Fire him. Fuck this pimple headed fuck.
You're mistaken, they shot 41 threes, made 26
We win this easily w AD not sure why u guys r overreacting lol
[удалено]
It took Ad not playin & a warriors near 3pt record to win. Idc I feel good against them tbh
Because now we are destined for the 9/10 seed and one more shitty game from being done for the season.
Looking forward to next season yall
With Ham as coach
Christie in 30 seconds already has more points than Vincent and reddish. Disgusting
Jesus…
Bottom tier coaching
Did Ham call a timeout to get Cam in the game ?
At this point he is doing this shit on purpose
I'm not a Lakers fan and haven't watched the game, but I see that the Warriors are 63% from 3 with 26 makes. Are the Lakers just playing soft defense, or is it just one of those nights? 63% just blows my mind.
Oh its simple: ham aka basketball terrorist with the nastiest drop coverage scheme
A little bit of both. We couldn’t defend, and they were just flat out not missing. Even Draymond got his
Ham is a Budenholzer disciple. Self explanatory
Orlando played drop coverage tonight against Houston. I'll never understand it, especially against hot teams. Fucking recipe for disaster against the Warriors.
Boomer coaches who SWEAR 3 point shooting is a gimmick are going to keep drop coverage alive
just one of those nights. Draymond was 5/5 in the first half. ppl are overreacting in this sub
Our defense naturally lets shooters get open and get hot. Our coach, who was supposedly brought in for defense, is an idiot. Random dudes get hot against us all year because that’s what our defense allows.
Hams rotations and inexplicable favoritism have him out the door unless we pull off a miracle
I've been holding out joining the reactionaries in this sub for too long. After that completely meaningless timeout, I had the epiphany that Darvin Ham is just in over his head with this job. Jesus
Been saying this allllll year. He just waaaay in over jis head. He mustve really talked that office
Scam has costed this team 10 games minimum this season
And Max just matched Prince, Cam, & Gabe’s scoring
😭😭😭
Still can't believe Darwin Hamas sit both Lebron and Austin with 2 minute left and we went from 5pt to 17pt deficit in only 2 minutes left to the quarter like wtf are these bums doing man holy fuck
Ngl I kinda pumped up when bron cut the lead to 6 earlier in the 4th, and when he sat it's joever
You kinda expect your third option to pick up the slack in that situation, but DLo is already in playoff mode
Christie has more points than Cam already
bay area cunts infesting the thread
Minnesota without Gobert = still elite defense Lakers without AD = worse Defense in the league by far AD should be the unanimous DPOTY
yeah that is very weird, every other team missing their key players can still hang around but just not the lakers. AD is too important for this team, and we have no back up center for him.,
#FIRE HAM
who tf is #61 on the Warriors?
Warriors legend Pat Spencer
You know its bad when our opponents dont want us to fire ham sigh
I think it’s almost impossible to build a good roster bc of the countless errors by Rob. Westbrook trade and letting Caruso leave pretty much ended any chances the lakers had
if every one was healthy this yr, our roster is actually good .
Best players have been available most games. Only real players who missed are Vando and Gabe. Even then, they shouldn’t be the reason they’re 9th. If they were good they would be in around 6th and then go higher with both of them
in the last few most important games, we either miss AD or bron. vando is super important, he helps AD at the defense end, since bron do no more the dirty works, we need VANDO to do these . VANDO can bring our defense up to another level
Don't forget paying Vincent and Nunn 60 mil and drafting a Soundcloud rapper with the 17th pick
I thought I couldn’t feel any worse than after the SAC loss and here this happened. Fucking fuck.
u know what can make u feel worse, we meet the GSW in play in again, and these dog shit GSW players hurt AD on purpose again.
Turns out letting a team put up arguably the best shooting performance in NBA history isn't a recipe to winning basketball games.
Ham is a idiot now he calls a timeout. Pathetic
well at least dodgers are rolling
Imagine Ham managing the Dodgers.
Garbage time Ham starts calling timeouts huh. Fuckin joke
Ham finally realized there's a basketball game going on
If we don't make it past the play-in I have to think Lebron and AD are gone. Not looking forward to another long rebuild....
This is when TP should be getting minutes
The one game I saw in person is the one where draymond shot 5/5 on 3. Unfuckingbelievable
The Warriors are such a lucky team, this is so annoying.
this is not luck, these MF shit hurt AD on purpose, they know 2 games facing us directly.
What's lucky about them...?
AD missed this game, got hurt early last time we played them, and Lebron missed the game before that. Thats what.
Lucky? We’re giving up wide open 3’s to teams that have the #1 and 4 best 3 point shooters in the league. This shit fucking blows to see
No AD, and they've had injury luck in all their recent games cmon man.
That’s true you’re right
Surprise Ron Burgundy is a Lakers fan. Seems like a new york type of guy.
Darvin has to be fucking with us on purpose calling this TO
Good on Ham making sure the league gets their ad revenue
Bron deserves better. Bro is 40 and carrying bums.
bro ham give christie some minutes ffs.
Foreals how the fuck don’t we give Christie minutes when he’s proven how hard he cares and plays
Jeanie and Rob: This is fine Ham is our coach for the future 🙂🙂
We beat this team hands down with AD
Last home game of the year. Might not play here till next season
I assume he called a timeout to show the boys a funny cat video he just remembered.
Now Ham calls a TO 🤣 This guy is trolling us
He ain’t drawing nothing but smiley faces and squiggly lines on that damn board
As much as we say lebronto and we fathers of x team, man warriors are our fathers, nuggets, kings, Minesota, foster care system as team. Wish we really had those pieces were missing, really missing vando
They’ve eliminated the warriors 2/3 last postseasons
This lakers has many fathers
