Ham made history! 1st coach to be fired after winning In-season tournament.
That's cold! 🤣
You can’t suck at your job and keep it right???
1) questionable rotations- you can’t field in 4 guards and AD and wonder why we get killed in rebounds. Porter JR shooting over Austin Reeves is something.
2) not calling time outs when needed. He can’t take his timeouts to the next game. He keeps on saying he is saving his timeout to give LBJ and AD a rest there are some games he never called time out.
3) bad to no play calling
4) you cant blame injuries, your top 5 players played almost all season.
5) we got beaten by Denver 9- 10 times straight and until now you’re still trying to figure it out, we have a problem. C’mon guys.
EXACTLY. There were games I watched where both Lebron and AD were exhausted and he would NOT call a timeout just to give them a blow.????wtf? Really low basketball IQ
*12 out of 13 times straight. Lost 11 straight. Blowing leads left and right then barely winning 1 then losing again.
Why is no one talking about how bad Rob pelinka has been at drafting?
And not getting a center 😒
After 7 coaches in 12 years I'm confident in saying to the front office it's not me it's YOU!!! Front office needs to reorganize, restructure, and put fresh blood with fresh ideas. Hope your listening Jeannie #hirebobmyers
What killed the Clippers under Doc Rivers was his inability to make adjustments at critical times in the playoff, and what's giving Ty Lue a better result (in spite of the injuries) is his ability to read games, make timely adjustments and achieve fair amount of success, and that is where coaches input help a team win or lose.
An experienced coach like Spolstra would have had a much better result with the present Lakers roster as constructed than what Darvin did.
The in-season win was due largely to the determination of the players and not necessarily based on Ham's ingenuity.
Problem with Ham is his inexperience and his inability to make timely adjustments.
This decision to fire Ham has nothing to do with his personality, it's strictly a business decision.
Darvin Ham rose to the occasion with one of the most successful teams ever for a newbie coach hats off to him for trying ❤
He tried to
He failed too...
Nope...the team won games DESPITE Darvin Ham
I give you that but I do respect the fact he tried to do what he could definitely needs more experience which he will get now
Rob and Jeanie did nothing to help us at the trade deadline, the players Dallas got should’ve been on our team. It looks like sabotage to me 😢
🤣🤣🤣...take another bong hit bruh...
@@paolo-n2000 Maybe later, but I’m speaking facts 😃
Lakers should watch and hired vecky hammon cuz shes very vocal high IQ and a lot of experience under coch greg
He really lost his job when they fell apart after the in season tourney. If they played decent they would have played Denver in later rounds
Rob Pelinka needs to go as well if not needs to be in the hottest seat this off season and coming season. Snag Bob Myers from ESPN, I hear he would love the Lakers GM and exec job #hirebobmyers
O.M.G...😱
Ham He should have call timeout last second in game 5 to disrupt momentum from Murray.
Kenny atkinson would be my pick. Keep the young group. Bron can decide if he wants do.
What about Juwan Howard definitely got experience with the league and possibly could bring a different mindset for the team and stand up to you know who just saying
Lakers the most popular team in the nba, if coach dont deliver the ring,
Da coach will be fired!
We could have won more games if coaches can be suspended
Darvin also refused to play AD with another big man. But he will get another job because he has a winning record
Coach gets fired but he never gets to speak a word about why....I'm sure those NDAs are airtight. What a bunch of crap.
I’m sorry, but you guys are way off base with this one. No one is saying that the players did everything they could. We’ve blamed them for their mistakes. But they things that Darvin ham could control he didn’t. It’s the rotations, the personnel decisions, not calling plays, not having your players ready, etc.. they all fall on him
The coach doesn’t know how to utilize the players in term of rotation. Lakers had a deep bench.
Let's not forget before they started beating the celtics they were accused of just being flashy and Hollywood stop putting on a show and put together a winner
Should have demoted him to assistant
LBJ to GSW!
Not fun but needed to be done. They barely lost those games against the Nuggets the last 2 years. If they had a halfway decent coach the Lakers would have beat them.
Exactly..Imagine Ty Lue coaching this team. Ty Lue had the often injured Clippers balling out
well they should’ve kicked him out before the playoffs even started, we’ve seen enough,they should fire Pelinka too he’s been terrible after that 2020 championship
I'm really looking for some honest content. That said - the Lakers roster sucks. That's on Palinka who is a subpar GM. LeBron is a premodonna who is hanging on for the sole purpose of playing with Bronny and wanting all the accolades he can get. Anthony Davis is also a premadonna who is passive aggressive and secretly wants the light LeBron has but is grossly inconsistent. There is NO COACH that should want to coach in this organization until Rob, Bron and AD are gone. Other teams have great rosters, they are Dawgs who play hard, and have great organizations which makes coaching more effective. Other teams are more skilled, younger, and coherent. Lakers keep holding on to some old past. Magic and his team are gone. Kobe and his teams are gone. Nothing since then, let's be honest. The roster sucks and that's not on Ham. AD plays when he wants to. The other cast of characters would be on benches on many other teams.
Lebron single-handedly carried this team to many wins this season when the other players not named AD were shooting well under 50%. GTFOH
HAM ISNT THE PROBLEM LACK IF QUALITY PLAYERS IS A PROBLEM.
NO> Ham is the issue. Low basketball IQ. No in game adjustments or basic timeout strategy. None. His assistant coaches sucked too
Both players and coaches were the problem. Injuries didn't help and Palinka not getting a center by the trade deadline especially with losing Christian Wood
@@80timager23 do you think if Lakers had anthony edwards instead of dlo coaching would be a problem??
I laugh at the Kobe stan Lebron haters ...Lebron single-handedly carried this team to wins on many occasions this season when the other players not named AD were shooting well under 50%. Many. Ham is just not a good head coach. He will likely never get another NBA head coach gig. That's the proof in the pudding. His assistant coaches were poor as well
The Lakers should hire JJ Redick. He will bring the plumber's experience to the job, and LA will save a lot of money because he's already on Lebron's payroll.
Its just not Ham and Dlo fault why lakers are not good.. It also Rob Pelinka should be blame because he construct this team in the offseason..
Firing Phil Handy is also a big lost for the lakers..
Darvin Ham was over his head from the get go. He was a horrible in game coach, the players didn't respect him, team defense was sub-par, good riddance...
Exactly!! I say the same things...Ham was very low basketball IQ. ZERO in game adjustments. ZERO instincts. Rondo would have even taken this team much further. Ham had ZERO accountability. None. Not ONE time did I EVER hear him say "I've gotta be better" Yet his players often said this.
ZERO teams will be knocking on Ham's door to be their head coach. That's going to be proof he was a garbage head coach. Totally ill-prepared and his assistant coaches sucked too.
Surprise need to resign
he’s a good dude yes but can’t coach
Bron is the reason this team failed. He doesn't make his teammates better, he barely plays defense, blames his teammates for EVERYTHING and he doesn't take over the game because he is NOT that guy.
Lebron literally saved this team in many games this season shooting well over 50%, efficient. while the players not named AD were well under 50%. Many games. You're not going to get supreme defense from Lebron when he had to save the team on offensive side so many times this season.
Truth hurts bronsexual
Can NBA players defer money from their contract like the Dodgers Ohtani did 🤔. If they can
Don't you think LaBron has enough money to do that to give the team more room to build and sign better top notch players 🤔
