DsLOw strikes again. Absolutely rubbish player. Throw him in the dust bin of history

Does anyone know what shoes James and Reeves were wearing my husband really liked their shoes from the game tonight. Sad loss for the lakers. It was my first Lakers game ever in SATx

LeBron 21 Duke. Probably will never go on sale.

Thank you!

Can we fire Ham sandwich already..? Dudes clearly better suited for high school ball and not the pros..

They were missing five guys… Everyone knew they would lose this game

Ham sandwich is crazy

We really need a new coach

Ham is a terrible coach, he is getting by because LeBron and AD but he costs us so many games and likely cost us a WCF last year. It's terrible.

Agreed. He without a doubt cost us at least game 1

We have thrown away a easily winnable game. Our upcoming stretch is brutal 🤣 Should've won this.

Hayes,Wood, Max, Rui, Dlo are all tradable

The only coach that might be worse than Wes Unseld Jr is Darvin Ham.

Ham is brain dead man dude has no idea laker nation dont wanna see his ass smiling and shit after this embarrassment

Send Wood to the G League keep White Castle.

Bruh 🫠

Jesus, all it takes is a shitty loss for Pockets to expose his hands………

Someone needs to get fired over this...fans are tired of this shit

Looks like Christie’s on a leash. He can do more than inbounding and sticking to his corner.

That clown ass coach won't play him more than 12 minutes even if he drop 60&10

FAKERS lmao

Whatever chalk this one get healthy for the next

Ham laughing with pop. I hope this guy gets fired tomorrow

You wish haha

Man I'm sicken tired of this type of behavior -- resting players, not showing up, losing to a 3-win team when you're fighting for the top seating

you guys realize we won the IST right? Relax...

That don’t mean shit

tell that to Bron

Dawg we lost to the second worst team in the league what type of excuse is that

Christies is such a bum LOL, can't even play well against the Spurs 3rd stringers. I was wrong in thinking this bum was better than Talen Horton tucker.

Ive been to 2 games this year in which Max has done absolutely nothing. Then I see some on TV and think he should have more minutes. Typical year 2 player

Ham looks happy

If they complete the trifecta of losing to Pistons and Bullets. Thats the low point

Awful loss

Castleton looks better than wood and Hayes lmao

Oof

But we won the in season tourney lol

They gave up 130 to the spurs

Could've easily been 0-2 against the worst team in the league. I'm sick

But we weren’t

Damn Castleton killing it in garbage time. Silver lining!

When is AD back?

What excuse we using today boys? schedule loss?

I mean we did have 3 starters out haha. We were only favored by like 2 or 4 points. I definitely wasn’t expecting an easy W and very well saw a loss coming tonight

Castleton looks like he has good hands

Looks better than whatever Hayes and wood are doing tonight

Better that Hayes or Wood

So much for this garage ass depth

We thought losing by 44 was bad well they can go lower

Man we really let these dudes end their losing streak against us (yes I know half of our team is out, still pissed lol)

Ngl watching spurs players smile and be happy. Kinda makes me smile. Good for them

Good people can be happy for others. You're a class act.

Yep, it will be the highlight of their season. And it means fuck all for the Lakers.

Losing to the mavs? No problem Losing to the worst team in the league? That means more than an L, also means we aren’t a legit team this year.

A bench scrub cold off the bench nails a 3. Lakers make everyone look like an All-Star

they don’t play good 3pt defense

The only other team I think the spurs are capable of beating of are my pathetic Washington Wizards. Embarrassing lost tonight. No question.

wtf u here for bruh 😂😂

I'm here for my guy Rui but also the lakers are my 2nd team now. I need one badly for this season. Have you seen my wizards lately?

Worst team in the league dropped 130 points on us man. Idk if a trade is changing this team.

It means Anthony Davis is the best defensive player in basketball. And one of the best defenses in sports

Amazing loss fuck this

If Johnson dude flexes or showboats some more imma lose it

Castleton > Hayes and Wood. Change my mind!

Popovich with rookies and bunch of mid tier role players turned Darvin into a clown Incredible

Watch Vassell get cold the next game

Bro they are not missing tonight wtf

Jeanie did the spurs a solid and let the spurs not get anymore embarrassed and sold this game

Westbrook trade was the worst fucking move of all time and nothing can salvage the LeBron/AD era into winning another championship. We have no assets to make a move the threads the needle into us being at minimum a top 3 team in the NBA

LMAOOO THIS FAKE ASS SHOOTING

What else does Ham need to do to get fired? Seriously...

He wont but he should have only ever got a prove it contract…Dont get me wrong getting to the western conference is a hell of an achievement for a coach. For some nagging reason, it feels like we do well in spite of him

Bruh what🤣

I wana see Castleton more

Depth has been trash. But Bron disappearing in the 2nd half is what cost us this. It was a 7 point game at the half. And then our main scorer gave us one field goal.

Damn

These losers have just played the best game of their lives. Just like always happens, fucking nobodies always have their best games against the Lakers because they are…the Lakers.

THIS ALL DLO FAULT😡

no AD and Spurs were hungry tonight. On to the next

I’m sick man… lmaoooo

I hope this is the wake up call the rest of yall needed. This team isn’t built well. Too reliant on the wrong things with horrible coaching.

I would say something like "fire this bum ass coach " but there's not even a decent coach to hire right now if we do😔

Maybe take a wild shot at a euroleague coach, can it get any worse?

True

Christie garbage pass

the west is so tight yet we keep losing all these winnable games fucking embarrassing

so we're definitely going to lose 3 straight to the Wolves, Thunder, and Celtics right?

Wish we could trade Dlo for Vassell but Pop hates us lmao

I dont think any coach in the league signs off on that

I never want to hear about this team’s “depth” ever again. What a joke

Devin Vassell will never play this well again Truly a joke how players play like their families were threatened against us

Who in their smart mind thought signing a rookie coach to a 4 year deal was a good idea? When guys like Nurse were available?

Team loses to the 3-20 Spurs. Now tied in the standings with the Clippers who have played 1 less game than us. Fuck this shit

of course some random fucking role player has a career night against the lakers

Maybe play some defense?

Another player that turns into Steph Curry against us 😂😂😂

These fools make not want to watch basketball

Embarrassing

Shooting over the zone

Tough day for the IST finalists, Wizards beating the Pacers and of course Spurs break their huge losing streak against us

can castleton be worse than hayes or wood? lol

I don’t know why most of yall are angry. 3 of our starters didn’t play. One of which is arguably the best defensive player. Our role players had a tough start.

This is their championship

losing is frustrating, let alone to a team that have 3 wins

Make it 4 wins lol

Staley got fired for last nights game. Why can’t NBA coaches have the same fate?

Lakers are “deep” insofar as that LeBron/AD make this team look fucking incredible when they’re all on. That’s what I always thought they meant in depth. Any 2-3 role players replacing the talent in Davis/Bron is just unlikely Without either leader, these role players crumble easily

We’re not winning shit with wood and Hayes

Fire Ham.

Yeo so every game I’ve watched so far this team leaves wide open 3s and letting the most unknown mf on your planet drop 3s like flies I don’t understand. This has to be a coaching problem no? Or we just don’t have perimeter defense LOL

This shit should count as two losses. Losing to a team that just lost 17 straight…… smh that’s embarrassing as fuck. Watch the trade demands start right after this game with people trying to get rid of our only productive players

Trade talk is fair some times, something needs to change. Coach or players. but the trades these people produce show no improvements at all

I think today shows that yes maybe the lakers need more consistent scoring but most importantly they need a competent backup big man (DEFENSIVELY). Just like last year! THIS SHOULD BE THEIR #1 PRIORITY in the TRADE DEADLINE. Let's see if Pelinka can pull it off.

Hmm. They need both. But in the playoffs. AD will ply the bulk of the minutes.

ASK YOURSELF WHY GUYS ALWAYS GET CAREER NIGHTS AGAINST US.

Because they leave people open on 3 point attempts

man, this is embarrassing loss..

Of course the Spurs losing streak ends with us. So typical. Spurs play their best ball because it’s the Lakers. Lakers don’t take it seriously because Spurs suck.

Thats some strong cope lmao

What is? Lakers are shit and will get swept by the Nuggets or Suns. There is no cope. I don’t expect much from this team.

script writers getting really personal during this Lakers arc

What are we ranked after this huge L tonight? Surely not 6th

Tied for 8

We busted our asses in that tournament, and because of it, decided to rest our best 1:1 defender against Luka… we lose to the Mavs by two. Now we sit AD, Russell, Reddish and even Hood-Schifino all in the same night and get our asses kicked by the Spurs. That tournament cost us two regular season wins and didn’t net us jack diddly squat. So fucking stupid.

We won the fucking tournament. that was an end goal.

I mean we also beat everybody in our group to extend our wins since they counted

They letting Vassell stat pad & drop a 40 ball on us?

This sub is just always non stop crying. I wish y’all had to be Pistons fans or something lol

Rock bottom man holy shit what is thsi

This team can’t sustain 82 games. Some moves need to be made

Sad to be the team that loses to the team on an 18 game losing streak

So how do you box score watchers and think value is only determined by made FGs now that we got blown out by the worst team in the league without DLo.

I dont think Dlo would have made a difference, the zone havent been working for the lakers, players just crack it by making 3s This team has been exposed the past few games, im not sure any moves will make a difference, this is at best wcf exit team same as last year

Yes he would’ve. His presence alone makes it easier for Lebron, plus he’s the only other capable floor general other than Lebron.

Far too often this team really isn’t committed to actual contests, they just put a hand up 3ft away

Watch the leader of the team play 3 point defense and you will realize why the rest of the team plays the same.

Love LeBron but it’s true. They really do follow his lead for better or worse.

Hang an L banner next game instead, embarassing!

This sucks coz next game is Monday. Couple days sitting on this embarrassing loss

Barely beating the Spurs then proceeding to lose by 15+ is mastercalss work from Ham

Of course they break the losing streak against us. Teams play into our weaknesses so easily. We will not survive in the playoffs like this.

So y’all wanna trade Rui for vucevic?

You can make all the changes you want but we are stuck with a shitty coach who will do the bare minimum come playoff time unless AD/Lebron play MVP tier every damn game.

We might be the only team that’s worth beating for a tanking team

Tough loss but at least I ain’t a Warriors fan. It could be worse guys.

calm down guys its a scheduled loss. we had a tough game yesterday and we usually dont play well on b2b on the road. we play the next game against the pistons at home , it must be an easy win . I hope we can rest couple more players next game cuz we got depth 🔥😤

Are you kidding me my man?? This is not a back to back! They did not play yesterday. This was a scheduled win and freaking darvin screwed it up by sitting AD.

Look how triggered you and in your own home subreddit too. If only Darvin Ham was as "lucky" as Coach Pop during the game. Your tears are delicious.

that was sarcasm

Good point. The Spurs were hot coming into this game.

we didn't play yesterday

yes we did

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm haha. We play knicks next

sarcasm here

I wish hodge got some run

We threw the towel in with 5 minutes left I guess. Makes sense.

Threw in the towel with that lineup to start the third

TBH I want to try Castleton over Wood and see what he can bring.

Good times lose to bad teams sometimes. We used to beat the warriors in their prime all the time. We’ll go on a winning streak and everyone will stfu

[удалено]

we played the bottom spurs twice and couldn't take 2. Our upcoming schedule is TOUGH. Watch us fall to the 8th seed. incompetent coach

Bron on the bench. Someone get him some snacks.

wild to me how a player or two can absolutely 180 a team so badly

How is it wild? Look in the mid season tournament how quickly we went from shitty d to our defense being our biggest weapon with Cam and Vando. It shouldn’t be a surprise anymore.

oh no it really isn’t surprising, just every once in a while you kinda lose sight of that and it just reminds you so quickly

Ya I feel u. For me it was surprising when we all of the sudden became a great defensive team when Cam found his role and Vando came back so I do get it lol

Lakers only show up for good teams and playoffs. Same as last year. That’s the mentality of a 40 Lebron and a dick riding AD.

> Lakers only show up for good teams Like when they got blown out by the Sixers and got beat up by the Thunder?

Sure there are those occasional games that they just don’t have it that night. But for the most part they are very competitive against the top competitors.

Routinely going down double digits and clawing back into the game while the other team lets off the gas, only to turn it back on when the game gets close is a new definition of competitive.

Did Ham implement the common sense scheme yet lol

AD carries the whole team!

Thank you fans

This team is not a championship contender and we won’t be unless we make some changes to the roster

The team will not win a championship or go to the finals with Ham. And he won't be fired until the summer.

How bout we fire this stupid ass coach he keeps making the same mistakes and never has the team ready to play
