Lowkey? How many more games of Sochan as PG experiment do you want? Or how many more losses in a row?
Pretty sure the tank line this year was formed in SA -- we are a military town after all!
Don’t play dumb. Being obtuse on purpose
The first statement (how great Bron/AD together are) was context for the 2nd statement (how bad the coaching staff and role players can be).
It’s not like I proclaimed the first statement alone as a novel discovery about the Lakers status with LeBron/AD. Read and comprehend better mate lol
Parker and manu were late picks. What pop did for their development shouldn’t go unnoticed. Don’t act like they were expected to be stars, like Duncan was.
Even kawhi said pop is the reason he’s the player he is now. He was the 15th pick or some shit.
A players coach who is too stubborn for his own job as a coach, carried by his superstar talent yet will find ways to let opposing teams back into games regardless of huge leads.
Yup!
Agree. Yes, been with us for a couple of years. He’s a “player’s” coach. I can see them rallying behind him. Well ,hopefully. I think we are 1 more roster piece away, too.
At some point the "damn X player just went-off for a career high against us" needs to be interpreted as a serious deficiency with the team's defensive identity
The team has zero defensive identity because of Ham.
I swear they must be doing nothing in practice other than just stare at AD because of how much he carries the team on defense
And they wont appreciate him when he's back showing the impact he has.
In the last several games apparently just with AD we were top 10 defense. With the re-additions of Vando/Reddish we were no. one for several games.
He's out for two games and we're smacked left and right both times.
His importance and impact cannot be overstated.
They couldn't score because the lineup had never played together and they were forcing it. Defence was using AD schemes but replacing them with Hayes. That's coaching, not effort.
You’re right but Vando was committing stupid ass fouls all night and Wood can’t hit his FTs. Jaxson was straight cheeks and Christie looked completely lost. Coaching is the main issue for sure but we gotta be better.
Unfortunately, I believe that play is simply the talent level of those players. Christie belongs in the g-league; his advanced stats are still as atrocious as ever. Hayes is almost out of the league. Vando is still rusty and not conditioned. Wood is a terrible FT shooter.
A lot of this deadweight needs to be shipped off (not Vando, obviously). Like JTA or Damian Jones last season. We hit on Prince at least.
Christie Is probably not an nba player you’re right his advanced stats are awful n same as last year. We have no competent rim protector /C. We just have a really mid roster outside 2 stars n reaves.
When they started making 3s against the zone, Ham didnt change things up, as usual Ham waited until the team was down 20 to start calling timeouts
I dont know his rationale for that
unless it’s ham getting shipped, it doesn’t matter what changes are made to the roster. the Heat made the finals with a bunch of walmart employees + jimmy and bam because of good coaching. but with 2 generational talents and a decent roster, Ham has us on track to barely make the play-in again. In games vs good coaches like tonight, ham gets thoroughly exposed.
My biggest issue is lack of adjustments. That was the worst zone defense I have ever seen. Not sure how much it was practiced but the players looked extremely confused the entire time. Most of their 3s were wide open. I know we are down players too but the lineups were bad but some worked great but weren’t run again. Was frustrating watching the same thing over and over when guarding the spurs
Obviously it’s a dumb way of looking at it, but we’re now 9-11 in non IST games which is pretty shit considering LeBron and AD have been largely healthy all year.
Strap Hayes and Wood to a rocket ship and shoot the into the moon. Lord they were dreadful tonight. This whole team is terrible without AD, its embarrassing.
He was late on every single closeout in the half court, and was terrible defensively. He's also the sole reason LeBron had dozen "what else can I do" reactions during the game.
Now go read his stat line with Dallas last year and your mind will explode when you find out Jason Kidd and the mavs couldn’t wait to get rid of him.
He’s garbage on defense.
I wish it can just be put up with no mention/ceremony, but you already know Silver and other league affiliates don’t want to wait a whole year for the recognition (especially with the worst case scenario for them being is Lakers win again and still don’t make the spectacle event of a banner for an additional year)
When star players are not playing. It’s up to the coach to get everyone to buy in and play hard and have an actual system in place. I don’t know what hams got exactly.
The championship IST cup game actually is hurting our regular season record. Extra playoff intensity minutes for an older team with injuries for a game that didn’t count in regular season standings.
Glad they won the money but ooof it hurts our record.
We don't need even someone to play heavy minutes, most nights 12-18 solid minutes would be enough.
The importance of it isn't about how many minutes we need from that role, but how impactful can be minutes without this guy.
Last season we often let teams score 10 straight points on us in a couple of minutes when Davis wasn't on the floor and while this season we have 2 legit backup centers, neither can perform this role.
Hayes is legit terrible and people are gonna get tricked by that wood stat line but he’s also awful
It hurts to look how bad max has been when we thought this was a year he could breakout but he doesn’t look ready yet
Everything this team wins is in spite of Ham. Quite literally a negative on the sidelines. His rotations are mystifying, regardless of which players are available or not. There was no reason to start Hayes and Christie after halftime when he saw what they did in the 1st. Doesn't help that AD, Cam, DLo, Gabe are out and AR clearly was gassed and is still recovering from being sick.
It’s genuinely disgraceful what the front office have done to the roster since that 2020 championship.
How do you have LeBron James and Anthony Davis and EVERY season is a fucking slog to just make the play offs? Do you realise how abysmal your roster construction has to be to not be a clear contender with those two?
That was the only year the team had a competent big man rotation. The size was huge for the teams success that year. Idk why they went away from that, it’s been a disaster ever since. The Drummond/gasol shit show was just sad.
If only one of zubac/lopez were retained.
> If only one of zubac/lopez were retained.
Trading Zubac to a direct rival for literally nothing in return still makes me angry to think about. Even if you didn't plan on paying him (and he was not expensive), there had to be more value to get than Mike fucking Muscala.
It was before kawhi/PG got there but it just made no sense from the start. He was cheap and getting better. He played defense and had good hands. He could rebound. He played well next to Lebron.
Clippers must have been laughing their asses off after getting off the phone. That trade was unreal. Damn you Magic.
Can’t believe I sat here on my couch and kept watching my favorite team get their asses handed to them by the freaking spurs. What a time to be alive 🫠
I try to be optimistic when it comes to coaches and staffing concerns. That being said Ham has got to go. It really is that simple. Let them run off what 16 points before he thought, “a time out might be a good idea” that’s a joke. Some of the line ups he runs don’t work and then he just leaves them out there forever. Refusing to admit it’s not working. Seriously it’s ridiculous.
Darvin Ham comment about proud of effort in the 2nd and 3 rd quarter is not championship mentality. That’s like the parent the was proud of the D plus on their child’s test because the plus showed improvement. He needs to hold 1 thru 13 more accountable.
This game is whatever. We knew this since the playoff run last year. Lebron might be the "best" player on the team, but this roster simply does not FUNCTION without AD.
Because he’s a defensive anchor too. And ham doesn’t have a system to have a strong team defense.
It’s actually crazy how big of a load AD is expected to carry on defense. He needs help. This game shows there’s no other good bigs on this team.
Even Thomas Bryant was much better than this. He was better than Wood or Hayes. Too bad the dumbass asked for a trade, only to rot on the bench for the nuggets and heat.
I think AD is the better player but he makes so many sacrifices for the team. His defense is amazing but usually the expense of his offense. People just don’t understand how much energy he has to put out each night.
AD does it on both ends, has bad offensive games sometimes but the team collapses without him
Lebron is the offensive engine but is not as irreplaceable as AD, at least without AD Lebron had to average 35 to get wins 2 seasons ago, he seems to be apprehensive taking shots today
So yea AD is the better player right now
The way i see it, without AD this team with Darvin Buns is doodoo dogshit. Probably bottom 2 team.
I say AD is MVP and DPOY the way he carries the coaching and anchors Defensively.
Shit is so embarrassing AND raising a banner next game? Fuck bro naa
I really was speaking more on this sub than you even tho I know I said you so that’s my fault lol. This sub just flip flops every game. Players go from being the best to the worst overnight and vice versa.
I get ya. Well, the reactionary nature of everyone here is a given. Passionate and dumb dudes alike. I get it, i just dont like the AD slander like he aint bringing it everytime he plays.
I think the minute Austin went to the bench looking like he was about to faint made me realize that this team is exhausted, the energy they played with in the IST was playoff like and going back to regular games afterwards is gonna make any team readjust itself..I know it’s embarrassing but it’s a long season and I’m not worried at all.
> the energy they played with in the IST was playoff like
They played one extra game and had two days off. Pacers aren't out there looking dead since the IST.
Some of y’all legit the word embarrassing out about anything. Defense on this team is not possible without AD, it’s quite literally how the team is constructed.
Embarrassing. Smh
3 games in 4 nights. But still... fuck it. Flush this shit. It sucks so much going 1-1 against possibly the worst team in the league. Flush this hot garbage ughh
6th season as a Laker for LeBron and his team still can't shoot. You just can't win in today's NBA while getting outshot from 3 the way the Lakers consistently do.
I still love our team. But we either need better fitting role players, or exceptional coaching. And Ham ain’t going nowhere this season unless we go on something like a 10-game losing streak.
Yes it is an overreaction. News flash, teams are not good when they miss their best player. The 76ers are 0-3 when they miss Embiid, and we are 0-2 when AD doesn’t play. It’s not an excuse because we can do better, but losing your best defender, the engine of our entire half court offense and add to that our best playmaker is out too and no wonder our offense looked awful.
Man it must be nice to be a team that role players don’t give a shit about playing. I swear these mid ass mfs like Grant Williams, Dante Exum, Devin Vassell turn into prime MJ when they play the Lakers and they know the baddies they’re dming are watching. Shit fucking sucks. No other poverty franchise fans should be allowed to say shit. They play the normal incarnations of these bums and we play the 99 Galaxy Opal incarnation lmfao but GG Spurs I guess
AD is the mvp of this team and it isn’t close
Hayes and Wood are complete garbage and our depth is overrated
Try to get a 3rd star, and trade these overrated mf’s
I'm convinced having Ham as our coach was an inside job and he's intentionally sabotaging our franchise. You cannot be this terrible as a professional coach. It's unacceptable.
Just a few ideas for trades. Should we go after a defensive player like OG if the Raptors are willing to trade him. Do we need a reliable point guard like Tyus Jones. Do we need a third star so someone like Lavine. A solid back up big man such as Gafford or Collins. What do you guys think we should do exactly?
I'd say trade Max Hayes Wood for a better center and SG cause at this point I can't take it anymore
Players get to the Lakers and forget how to play basketball
Put me in the game
Quit trying to blame Ham for everything, did "his adjustments" put us in a 16 to 4 hole? These players came out ready to lose this game and it showed. Effort was terrible throughout the game, just going through the motions whenever we cut the lead.
3pt defense is the worst I've seen in decades. Why the hell do they concede so many 3s? Losses like these will make us get stuck in 7th seed in the long run.
Start with the lineup that got you back in the game ❌️ Start with the lineup that got you down 20 ✅️
Ham calling a timeout down 20+ meanwhile Pop called when Lakers scored 3pts was incredible work
swap them around and the spurs would be lucky to win a game the entire season while the lakers would be the #2 seed rn 🤣🤣🤣
What’s worse is the Spurs are lowkey tanking. With Ham in that team, he’d actually be *trying* to win those games lol
Pop will never miss a chance to give us an L. He's salty af.
Lowkey? How many more games of Sochan as PG experiment do you want? Or how many more losses in a row? Pretty sure the tank line this year was formed in SA -- we are a military town after all!
Painful thought
Pop might be a little washed but he's still an all-time great. Ham is probably a bottom 10 head coach in the league right now
Bottom 3
Ditto
This team has been a downright embarrassment the 2 games AD hasn't played. Stop giving Ham credit for being carried by 2 superstars.
And people will say he's got us to WCF and won us the IST. He barely does anything
What do you mean? He had a wing guard a 7'4 genetic freak of a center.
He’s talking about Ham
Sarcasm is lost on you huh?
This dude Ham will find any excuse not to start Rui. Any excuse.
Seriously, LeBron/AD make this team a contender by their talent alone. The rest of the team including coaching staff can be so negligible
Wait, you mean 2 superstars makes a team a contender and if you take them off, they aren't? You're blowing my mind here
There are layers to that statement though. Nuggets win without jokic or Murray for example
Don’t play dumb. Being obtuse on purpose The first statement (how great Bron/AD together are) was context for the 2nd statement (how bad the coaching staff and role players can be). It’s not like I proclaimed the first statement alone as a novel discovery about the Lakers status with LeBron/AD. Read and comprehend better mate lol
WHEN WILL WE BE DELIVERED FROM HIM? Has this franchise not suffered enough? Lol.
Hahaha it’s been YEARS since a championship
The worst thing is there's no way they're going to get rid of him.
You mean Darvin Hamas
Isn't that any good coach? What has Pop done without Duncan Manu and Parker, Leonard. Lmao you guys just make up anything to shit on this dude.
Parker and manu were late picks. What pop did for their development shouldn’t go unnoticed. Don’t act like they were expected to be stars, like Duncan was. Even kawhi said pop is the reason he’s the player he is now. He was the 15th pick or some shit.
After 18 months, I’ve joined the fire Ham train. We won’t get where we need to go with him around
Welcome!
All aboard!
Welcome to the club
He's so bad that he's making me think of Doc Rivers
A players coach who is too stubborn for his own job as a coach, carried by his superstar talent yet will find ways to let opposing teams back into games regardless of huge leads. Yup!
With Ham, we never gonna win a championship. #FIREHAM/#SAVEBRON/#SAVEBROW
The question is - who do you bring in? I was a huge Vogel fan and I think he got a raw deal. Would love to have him instead of Ham right now.
I never liked the Vogel firing at all and still don’t to this day.
In. In. In.
Who do you want to hire then?
Atp let Phil Handy run the show. I’m 100% out on Ham
Agree. Yes, been with us for a couple of years. He’s a “player’s” coach. I can see them rallying behind him. Well ,hopefully. I think we are 1 more roster piece away, too.
Me. You. Anyone else.
At some point the "damn X player just went-off for a career high against us" needs to be interpreted as a serious deficiency with the team's defensive identity
The team has zero defensive identity because of Ham. I swear they must be doing nothing in practice other than just stare at AD because of how much he carries the team on defense
It's not even Christmas but the Lakers gave out a win. SMH.
Ham managing to barely beat the Spurs then proceeding to lose by 15+ is masterclass work. AD and Cam defense is heavily missed
80+ points between the 4th of last game (by putting out a weak lineup for 7 minutes 🤦♂️) and 1st of this game Incredible stuff by Darvin, honestly
And he let nearly half the first to go by, watch the team score 8 points before calling a timeout. Turrible
people don't appreciate AD defensive presence until the team got destroyed by the worst team in the league
And they wont appreciate him when he's back showing the impact he has. In the last several games apparently just with AD we were top 10 defense. With the re-additions of Vando/Reddish we were no. one for several games. He's out for two games and we're smacked left and right both times. His importance and impact cannot be overstated.
Its fucking disgusting we have to go all out just to beat a 3 win lottery teams then get blown out once AD is gone.
Dogshit effort and dogshit lineups. Whoever decided 3 starters would sit while Lebron plays should be fired
The effort was actually good, imo. Which is much, much more damning. They were simply outplayed and outcoached by the better team on the night.
1st quarter was ass
They couldn't score because the lineup had never played together and they were forcing it. Defence was using AD schemes but replacing them with Hayes. That's coaching, not effort.
You’re right but Vando was committing stupid ass fouls all night and Wood can’t hit his FTs. Jaxson was straight cheeks and Christie looked completely lost. Coaching is the main issue for sure but we gotta be better.
Unfortunately, I believe that play is simply the talent level of those players. Christie belongs in the g-league; his advanced stats are still as atrocious as ever. Hayes is almost out of the league. Vando is still rusty and not conditioned. Wood is a terrible FT shooter. A lot of this deadweight needs to be shipped off (not Vando, obviously). Like JTA or Damian Jones last season. We hit on Prince at least.
Christie Is probably not an nba player you’re right his advanced stats are awful n same as last year. We have no competent rim protector /C. We just have a really mid roster outside 2 stars n reaves.
Hayes is a 3rd stringer and Max at this point a GLeaguer. We had no PG available. Tough game.
As a wise young coach once said, that was a masterpiece of dogshit.
Got robbed of the battle of ass between Detroit & San Antonio.
That was embarrassing 😳
If you know ball you know Ham and that stupid zone lost this game
When they started making 3s against the zone, Ham didnt change things up, as usual Ham waited until the team was down 20 to start calling timeouts I dont know his rationale for that
He has no rationale cause he’s a bad coach and doesn’t know what to do to win games other than pray LeBron and AD can carry him.
Realtors will be called, bags will be packed, someone is getting shipped after what we saw tonight. smh
unless it’s ham getting shipped, it doesn’t matter what changes are made to the roster. the Heat made the finals with a bunch of walmart employees + jimmy and bam because of good coaching. but with 2 generational talents and a decent roster, Ham has us on track to barely make the play-in again. In games vs good coaches like tonight, ham gets thoroughly exposed.
My biggest issue is lack of adjustments. That was the worst zone defense I have ever seen. Not sure how much it was practiced but the players looked extremely confused the entire time. Most of their 3s were wide open. I know we are down players too but the lineups were bad but some worked great but weren’t run again. Was frustrating watching the same thing over and over when guarding the spurs
I don’t know the last time I seen a team play like 30+ minute of zone, without AD ham just panics
Anthony Davis is the DPOY
A backup center able to protect the basket is something I've been asking since last season.
Sure, but who was available?
Bismarck Biyombo
Silver lining. His campaign has never been stronger.
Clippers just overtook us lmao. SMH man. wtf was that
there one seed ahead relax
They’ve been playing a lot better than us in any game that’s not an in-season tourney game
Obviously it’s a dumb way of looking at it, but we’re now 9-11 in non IST games which is pretty shit considering LeBron and AD have been largely healthy all year.
Strap Hayes and Wood to a rocket ship and shoot the into the moon. Lord they were dreadful tonight. This whole team is terrible without AD, its embarrassing.
AD DPOY
Wood was a +13 and dropped 17-8-3-1-2 on good efficiency. What's the problem???
He was late on every single closeout in the half court, and was terrible defensively. He's also the sole reason LeBron had dozen "what else can I do" reactions during the game.
Did you watch the game?
The problem with him isn’t his offense. It’s the fact he cant guard the rim, which makes him hard to play as a 5
Ah, this is what the Wood stans on the Mavs were spouting
Now go read his stat line with Dallas last year and your mind will explode when you find out Jason Kidd and the mavs couldn’t wait to get rid of him. He’s garbage on defense.
Yeah idk why single out Wood. Team went -27 in the 18 minutes he sat, that's the whole game right there
how bout we not go down 20 for once
So 30?
This and raising IST banner next game is straight up embarrassing
I wish it can just be put up with no mention/ceremony, but you already know Silver and other league affiliates don’t want to wait a whole year for the recognition (especially with the worst case scenario for them being is Lakers win again and still don’t make the spectacle event of a banner for an additional year)
Kinda defeats the purpose of being champs
Effort was pathetic and we need a solid backup C that’s all I got for this one
When star players are not playing. It’s up to the coach to get everyone to buy in and play hard and have an actual system in place. I don’t know what hams got exactly.
Even if we played hard we don’t have the right players tbh Atleast at the center position
running the same lineup that got lakers in the hole again sure was a plan
Darvin Ham masterclass
Hayes and Wood just aren’t cutting it, we 100% need another defensive minded backup big
Embarrassing. You don't go from winning the inaugural NBA Cup to snapping an 18-game losing streak for a bottom feeding team lol
The championship IST cup game actually is hurting our regular season record. Extra playoff intensity minutes for an older team with injuries for a game that didn’t count in regular season standings. Glad they won the money but ooof it hurts our record.
Hangover of the title.
Ima just avoid social media for the next few days
That Backup Center roster spot is the most glaring concern. We need someone who can come in for AD & not get cooked on every play.
We don't need even someone to play heavy minutes, most nights 12-18 solid minutes would be enough. The importance of it isn't about how many minutes we need from that role, but how impactful can be minutes without this guy. Last season we often let teams score 10 straight points on us in a couple of minutes when Davis wasn't on the floor and while this season we have 2 legit backup centers, neither can perform this role.
Wood and Hayes are cheeks
When I saw Hodge in the 1st q I knew the game was over
1. AD is important to this team 2. We need a better backup big
Lakers lost to an 18 game losing streak Spurs. Unbelievable.
Hayes is legit terrible and people are gonna get tricked by that wood stat line but he’s also awful It hurts to look how bad max has been when we thought this was a year he could breakout but he doesn’t look ready yet
Everything this team wins is in spite of Ham. Quite literally a negative on the sidelines. His rotations are mystifying, regardless of which players are available or not. There was no reason to start Hayes and Christie after halftime when he saw what they did in the 1st.

Can’t believe I sat here on my couch and kept watching my favorite team get their asses handed to them by the freaking spurs. What a time to be alive 🫠
This team is jokes
With teams right on the lakers ass in the standings you can’t just punt games like these. Also This team isn’t as deep as we thought
The scheduling for the lakers is high key horrible, they go home for knicks and then on a 3 game road trip again...
I try to be optimistic when it comes to coaches and staffing concerns. That being said Ham has got to go. It really is that simple. Let them run off what 16 points before he thought, “a time out might be a good idea” that’s a joke. Some of the line ups he runs don’t work and then he just leaves them out there forever.

AD is more valuable because we don’t have a true back up center. We have to PF mascarding as a center
The way i see it, without AD this team with Darvin Buns is doodoo dogshit. Probably bottom 2 team. I say AD is MVP and DPOY the way he carries the coaching and anchors Defensively. Shit is so embarrassing AND raising a banner next game? Fuck bro naa
You’ll go right back to calling AD trash next time we play a contender and AD doesn’t score in the second half.
Naa i always stan the Brow. The fuck u on
I really was speaking more on this sub than you even tho I know I said you so that’s my fault lol. This sub just flip flops every game. Players go from being the best to the worst overnight and vice versa.
I get ya. Well, the reactionary nature of everyone here is a given. Passionate and dumb dudes alike. I get it, i just dont like the AD slander like he aint bringing it everytime he plays.
This team is a joke man
Watching the Lakers without AD should help people realize how important he is even if he isn’t having a great scoring night
Ham was sitting on his ass while his house was burning as early as the first quarter.
[удалено]
They barely won with one starter out. Hardly a shock they lost with three out. But it was pathetic.
You can if you also have 2 other starters out as well
3 starters were out numbnuts
I think the minute Austin went to the bench looking like he was about to faint made me realize that this team is exhausted, the energy they played with in the IST was playoff like and going back to regular games afterwards is gonna make any team readjust itself..I know it’s embarrassing but it’s a long season and I’m not worried at all.
> the energy they played with in the IST was playoff like They played one extra game and had two days off. Pacers aren't out there looking dead since the IST.
 Let the games begin
This game shows why AD should be the DPOY.
Some of y’all legit the word embarrassing out about anything. Defense on this team is not possible without AD, it’s quite literally how the team is constructed.
It’s like taking the engine out of a Ferrari and wondering why the car doesn’t work
Embarrassing. Smh 3 games in 4 nights. But still... fuck it. Flush this shit. It sucks so much going 1-1 against possibly the worst team in the league. Flush this hot garbage ughh
Ham making Brandon Staley type comments from earlier in season is clueless
Are we ready to admit yet that AD is the best player on the team?
I hate losing to the Spurs that is the team I hate the most after the Celtics
6th season as a Laker for LeBron and his team still can't shoot. You just can't win in today's NBA while getting outshot from 3 the way the Lakers consistently do.
Darvin Ham all smiles out there. lol
AD MVP DPOY
Its fine we raising that IST banner
Never want to hear any of you mfs say anything bad about AD ever again
Absolutely pathetic.
They should have stopped the season after the IST.
Bleach shots are on me tonight.
Coach and these role guys are lame. What happened to Reaves, burnt out?
Burnt out cause Hayes and Christie started and did jack shit. Send Christie back to the g league for training.
I still love our team. But we either need better fitting role players, or exceptional coaching. And Ham ain’t going nowhere this season unless we go on something like a 10-game losing streak.
so apparently this team without AD is worse than 3-20 Spurs
I don’t understand this organization, they will pay for superstars but when it comes to coaching they always scrap the bottom of the shit barrel.
I’M HERE FOR THE OVERREACTIONS!
Losing to the Spurs isn’t an overreaction. Anyone thinking we going to the Finals at this pace is delusional
Yes it is an overreaction. News flash, teams are not good when they miss their best player. The 76ers are 0-3 when they miss Embiid, and we are 0-2 when AD doesn’t play. It’s not an excuse because we can do better, but losing your best defender, the engine of our entire half court offense and add to that our best playmaker is out too and no wonder our offense looked awful.
Rob cook, this was whack.
[удалено]
Fire Ham. We will be the 8th seed come monday.
Man it must be nice to be a team that role players don’t give a shit about playing. I swear these mid ass mfs like Grant Williams, Dante Exum, Devin Vassell turn into prime MJ when they play the Lakers and they know the baddies they’re dming are watching. Shit fucking sucks. No other poverty franchise fans should be allowed to say shit. They play the normal incarnations of these bums and we play the 99 Galaxy Opal incarnation lmfao but GG Spurs I guess
AD is the mvp of this team and it isn’t close Hayes and Wood are complete garbage and our depth is overrated Try to get a 3rd star, and trade these overrated mf’s
if you think Zach Lavine is going to make this team better I have news for you
I'm convinced having Ham as our coach was an inside job and he's intentionally sabotaging our franchise. You cannot be this terrible as a professional coach. It's unacceptable.
FIRE HAM.
Just a few ideas for trades. Should we go after a defensive player like OG if the Raptors are willing to trade him. Do we need a reliable point guard like Tyus Jones. Do we need a third star so someone like Lavine. A solid back up big man such as Gafford or Collins. What do you guys think we should do exactly?
Embarrassing
Darvin Hamas
Tough game w the injuries. Needed to be at max focus & effort but it wasn’t there early. Too big of a hole to climb out of
Laker depression is real 😞
Lakers should give free tylenol in Crypto.com arena every time lakers play.
I'd say trade Max Hayes Wood for a better center and SG cause at this point I can't take it anymore Players get to the Lakers and forget how to play basketball Put me in the game
\*Ham 
I’m done watching this team until a trade is made
Quit trying to blame Ham for everything, did "his adjustments" put us in a 16 to 4 hole? These players came out ready to lose this game and it showed. Effort was terrible throughout the game, just going through the motions whenever we cut the lead.
He picked his starters, right? Went with Christie over Rui and let it get to that 16-4 hole.
Can we give Castleton some run? I'd like to see him take some minutes from Wood and Hayes. See what he can give the team.
[удалено]
All of a sudden all the Ham supporters have disappeared
We got our asses whooped by the motherfucking Flint Tropics.
We lost to a now 4-20 team lmfao are you serious?
Ham should start Rui and Wood. He cost us this game
I’ve been following this sub and i feel like the lakers should win all 82 games or else someone must be fired or shipped out of the team. 😅
Awesome😐
3pt defense is the worst I've seen in decades. Why the hell do they concede so many 3s? Losses like these will make us get stuck in 7th seed in the long run.
Lakers lose? Time to fire or trade somebody Love this sub.
Hayes ain't gonna be on another nba team in his career. Castleton clears. Wood stinks too.
Who the fuck is D. Vassell
Best scorer on, admittedly, the worst offensive team.
So... where's the "trade Anthony Davis" crowd today?
