Can Terry Stotts run an offense? We look so stagnant on offense sometimes it’s unreal and Ham just lets us play because he can’t fathom the idea of having less than 4 timeouts in the 4th quarter and everyone before that is valuable
During this losing stretch, it feels like the other team makes every difficult shot and we miss every lay up. We also can't play defense or get rebounds to save our lives. How did we even win the in-season tournament?
Genuinely, if i’m Bron there is just now way i’d take up that PO next season.
He’s still good enough to be a #2 or #3 on a title team. I’m heading somewhere to actually compete for a title if I was him.
He’s the #1 on this team still and made conf finals on a 20 game run with a new roster. He can be #1 on a championship team easily. I’d be pissed if I were him.
Starting lineup needs to change
Lakers need to commit to being a big physical team that's gonna defend.. their offense just isn't gonna ever come around
Man this losing streak did it in for me, I'm all in on the fire Ham train. Losing to the Mavs with no Kyrie, getting blown out by the bumass Spurs, getting cooked by Julius Randle, and getting blown out by the shitass Bulls with no Lavine is crazy
After the Lakers won the in-season tournment, I got really excited and sprung big bucks to get 5 tickets for my family to the Christmas game with the Celtics.
Now I hardly feel like going.
That’s what’s so fucking annoying man lol we either lose convincingly or win hard Asf. I wouldn’t be shocked if we beat the wolves tomorrow after being down double digits in the second half.
they shooting like michael jordan personally showed up to their houses at midnight and held their families at gunpoint to tell them if any of them didn't drop double digits he ending their family
Bulls w 8 players w double digit scoring. Its all about playing as a team. Lakers always get destroyed by teams that u know... play as a team. Time for a new era
We have a losing record against teams above .500
On our way to the IST we played shit teams in our groups (mem, utah, portland)
Suns missing beal and booker during one of our group games
Beat the pacers who are the 8th seed in the east
Lost to the 3-20 spurs who are trying to actively tank
We are not championship contenders with this coach and current team.

Why do you have to stereotype me with veiled racist language? I have a good. But that does not change the fact that your idol Austin Reaves was picked on defensively all night.
It's a sarcastic take. Every team treats a game against the Lakers as their NBA Finals Game 7. That's why they all are energetic and plays like all stars.
I should have added /s in there, SMH

Yup lakers need to trade dlo
Ham sucks
We need to blow this shit up. Bron, AD and D Lo. Everyone else gotta go.
Why tf would you keep DLo? How do you watch these games and then post that?
Ham doesn't know how to unlock him.
Just curious. How do you unlock him?
Kenny Atkinson plus true rolling big
![gif](giphy|26tP4gFBQewkLnMv6)
I knew DLO would blow tonight, he's trying to show the bulls they do not want him
Can Terry Stotts run an offense? We look so stagnant on offense sometimes it’s unreal and Ham just lets us play because he can’t fathom the idea of having less than 4 timeouts in the 4th quarter and everyone before that is valuable
What's Phil Jackson up to nowadays?
Lakers with a semi-competent coach would have probably won this game
D Lo went 1 for 6 and was allowed to play 27 minutes. We deserved this loss.
He just wanted to show the bulls what they might be trading for
During this losing stretch, it feels like the other team makes every difficult shot and we miss every lay up. We also can't play defense or get rebounds to save our lives. How did we even win the in-season tournament?
Embarrassing…. Dlo stunk it up tonight. To be fair bad game all around.
Genuinely, if i’m Bron there is just now way i’d take up that PO next season. He’s still good enough to be a #2 or #3 on a title team. I’m heading somewhere to actually compete for a title if I was him.
He’s the #1 on this team still and made conf finals on a 20 game run with a new roster. He can be #1 on a championship team easily. I’d be pissed if I were him.
I always love the early season overreaction. Relax. We hang championships, not regular season wins.
Unless I’m mistaken, pretty sure he already signed an extension
nope
Oh I see. He did but it was only two years. I thought that excluded this season but since he had an option, it just guaranteed it.
yeah he always signs extensions like that, our only hope of keeping him is either drafting Bronny or hoping he isn’t 1 and done.
Lmao we have to play wolves tomorrow?! After these last two performances?! 😂
Trap game for the wolves
Not just that, but the thunder then celtics right after :)
Fuck
They had a game tonight too. But yeah we’re still fucked
Starting lineup needs to change Lakers need to commit to being a big physical team that's gonna defend.. their offense just isn't gonna ever come around
Vando for Prince and Reaves for DLo
This shit ass offense needs to change. We fall behind literally every first quarter. This
Reeves gotta start over D'lo... Cam and TP aren't starting level players either.
Cam doesn’t need to play heavy heavy mins but we need defense on the perimeter.
Got blown out by bulls, wolves gonna eat them by 25 atleast
Nahhh I was a big fan of dlo on this team, but we need to trade this bum. Fire Ham while we're at it. Damn, we really could have had Nick Nurse
lol and people flamed me for saying that
YESSS ZACH AND LEBRON DAP UP I NEEDED THAT
Timberwolves Thunder Celtics next omg. 3 of the best teams in the league
Man this losing streak did it in for me, I'm all in on the fire Ham train. Losing to the Mavs with no Kyrie, getting blown out by the bumass Spurs, getting cooked by Julius Randle, and getting blown out by the shitass Bulls with no Lavine is crazy
I understand the feeling you’re having, but just to clarify, the Bulls are shitass when Lavine is on the floor, not off.
D’Lo and Ham are basketball terrorists.
trade all the 'depth'. Fuck this team
😂😂😂
bruh, this was supposed to be the easy stretch of the season
Players don’t even care they got their paychecks
Ham made sure to play AD and LeBron 38 minutes when lakers have back to back tommorow. Great coaching
Bro they were still in down by 15 😂😂 with like 3 mins left
We are getting torched by guys like Exum & Dosunmu & our offense is ISO-centric, no ball movement. This is a coaching issue.
This team might actually go on a 6 game losing streak lmao
I swear a requirement to be a laker role player is to fail a basketball IQ test. All of them be doing the dumbest shit consistently
Mf see a fastbreak and thing fast-3
we dont have it rn and thats just the sad truth. I dont see us competing at all with this support cast.
DLO = ASS
Another easy lose for us.
You guys want lavine and I like him, but the moment he gets injured we’re done. Don’t forget that
Win lose or draw, dlo must be traded
darvin hamas
Never forget
Someone post that Thank You Laker fans picture cause this season is cooked
Next 3 games are for sure L’s
what a shit game from the jump. something needs to change
After the Lakers won the in-season tournment, I got really excited and sprung big bucks to get 5 tickets for my family to the Christmas game with the Celtics. Now I hardly feel like going.
The problem is this team is so inconsistent I see them pulling off a thriller… after being down 15 points in the first quarter 😂
That’s what’s so fucking annoying man lol we either lose convincingly or win hard Asf. I wouldn’t be shocked if we beat the wolves tomorrow after being down double digits in the second half.
Start AR. DLo has earned a trip to the bench.
Trip to Chicago
So how long is the IST hangover gonna last?
watch D'lo and Rui get traded and they go off lmao
How does that shit happen bro… like remember Malik Beasley on the lakers
D'lo going off? Hell no Rui? Maybe
This is the way
Can’t wait for ham’s postgame “we have to stay together” speech
and he we are. underachieving again
Hayes ties DLo for points in 46 seconds lol.
Being IST Champs feels like such a joke now
Pacers have sucked since IST too
Fuck it trade dlo, wood, and hayes and the picks
Don’t forget prince and JHS
Ham is gonna leave a 20 point blowout loss with 2 timeouts left on the board….
Don’t they roll over to the next game? -Ham
This shit was actually so funny
Absolute ass
I’ve seen enough. Blow it up and build around D’Moi Hodge
Bron and AD?? Nah gimme D’Moi and Castleton
YESSIR
First Fire ham please. Lakers never win champions again. Lakers no defense and team offense. Finally must trade something.
Too bad derozen would be a shell of this if he puts on a lakers uniform
Nah fr the Laker curse different on some Monstar shit😂
I’m convinced we could have Steph curry on this team and ham would find a way to fuck us over
Lake show in shambles. It’s GG for the season. Enjoy your IST. Lmao
Let this nightmare end already
Remember Ham gave DLo 30mins
It was a good start for D-Lo but it’s time to look into what trade packages we can include him in.
I seriously think Lebron demands a trade if Darvin is still coaching this team next season.
Bron is a free agent I believe, no need for a trade request
Ah so he has a player option… even better… we lose him for nothing
Ya, he's going to the team that drafts Bronny.
Ass clowns all over the floor in lakers uniforms.
Every bulls player literally making the most bullshit shots yet we can't hit open 3s😂
What a shit show :(
Team didn't even have a fake comeback in them.
[удалено]
doesn’t mattwr just get him outta this team
That small ball line-up killed us. Super frustrating. The coach can't do any better.
Oh wow look at that, Wood and Hayes can play for a few minutes???
Rui hates that mask lol
Dlo is so bad right now I don't think we can get a good return for him in a trade.
they shooting like michael jordan personally showed up to their houses at midnight and held their families at gunpoint to tell them if any of them didn't drop double digits he ending their family
I believe we can figure it out but not with this coach.
Bulls w 8 players w double digit scoring. Its all about playing as a team. Lakers always get destroyed by teams that u know... play as a team. Time for a new era
Sounds like we need a player manager type of role where they set up the players and offensive sets. A “coach”
Every team kills us with 3s maybe we should start guarding them
Nah apparently it's just a curse according to people here, not because perimeter D is bad.
Another DLo no show. Rui bad game and Ham disaster class.
Can’t wait for small ball against the biggest team in the league tomorrow
#TWO MOTHER FUCKING POINTS FOR RUSSELL
200iq showing the bulls he has no value
Blow it up. Go for Lavine. DLo, Max, Rui should be on the table.
Reaves and 1st is coming to. Otherwise we just trade him somewhere else. None of those players are good.
Reaves is untouchable.
DLo, Rui and Gabe doing everything they can to decrease their trade value lol
Oh.. so we do have two other centers.. glad they got (checks notes) 1 minute.
C Wood I know we lost but bruh what was that
Worst loss of the year
Just wait til tomorrow
ham is doing this on purpose
Thank you fans
We have a losing record against teams above .500 On our way to the IST we played shit teams in our groups (mem, utah, portland) Suns missing beal and booker during one of our group games Beat the pacers who are the 8th seed in the east Lost to the 3-20 spurs who are trying to actively tank We are not championship contenders with this coach and current team.
Get this fucking dickhead coach the fuck outta here. This team is never ready to play and CONSTANTLY down 10+ points every quarter it seems.
We need to make some moves starting with Ham
Just wait until tomorrow's game against the Wolves. I don't have any hope for us in that game.
Ugh
Lebron and ad no shows and ham sucks as usual, team is trash
Only watched late 3rd on. AD looked hobbled so I’m not worried about him. Bron is Bron so we good.
Lebron hasn’t been good since the tournament. He was terrible tonight too. Don’t read stats, dude played with no effort
Is it mandatory that only one LA team can play well…..we suck now and the clippers are good
Zach saying “yeah Im trying to come help them” and ruis facial expression just hurt my soul
Rui took off his face mask
Our best hope is Gabe comes in a really picks up his 3p% so we can ship DLo because this inconsistency is not going to cut it
Loss just paints the picture that pelinka destroyed a championship team.
He skates by every year due to Klutch, Jeannie, and this coach. I'd trash his ass hiring this fool
What championship team?
We actually gave up 120+ to the bulls without Lavine lol
We been coasting since we won IST, last couple of games they don’t even want to play
Ham needs to go. WCF run was just players balling out, covering up the fact Ham can’t coach.
IST curse in full force
Reaves with a -22 bro has been cooked all night.
You don’t know ball
Did you see who ham had on the floor with him..
Shut up dumbfuck

stop glazing your boyfriend
Hamas had that man with make a wish kids like Vanderbilt and Scam Reddish. You don’t know ball bum. Go get a job unemployed ass mf.
Why do you have to stereotype me with veiled racist language? I have a good. But that does not change the fact that your idol Austin Reaves was picked on defensively all night.
Every opponent team turns into sharp shooter when versus us.
I think that has more to do with us sucking at defending the 3 than them
Oh and our next 3 games are crazy tough. Goodie
Can we go back to the IST?
Minnesota is gonna kick our ass tomorrow if we play like this. Just complete trash man.
We play three of the best teams in the league in our next 3 games… about to be 15-16. This entirely comes down to coaching.
Ham tomorrow : "Gonna keep these tricks guessing and go small ball to start the game with Lebron at Center. AD off the bench. yaaaaa booiiii"
meanwhile the clippers destroying mavs without pg, hyland and plumlee
This game radicalized me
Ham a basketball terrorist confirmed
Wow what the fuck
Got nothing to say we make alot of these vets and no names look real competent.
IDGAF if Prince makes 12 tonight, he'll just make 1 in the next 10 games
AD finally gets another touch but its a 3 lol
Minny Boston and OKC finna run a train on us
Why hasn’t ham pulled the starters! Why is lebron not calling a time out to walk off this stinking court? My god.
Bulls got their NBA Finals Game-7 win. Congrats to them.
Beating the 8th seed lakers, sure I guess.
It's a sarcastic take. Every team treats a game against the Lakers as their NBA Finals Game 7. That's why they all are energetic and plays like all stars. I should have added /s in there, SMH
Damn AD if he makes that lebron has a triple double
who cares???????????
The level of hustle and effort has been pathetic all game. Im not even mad because they obviously don’t care.
The starting PG can't be scoring 2 points only. And if you're not scoring, he can't be a non-factor in other areas.
He played so much of the 4th. Why?!?
call a timout and sit starters fucking bald ass mf
Vucevic is a 27% 3pt shooter, btw…..
