@@WitNest..đđđđ boy you donât watch basketball do you? Lebron fold under pressure??? Iâm just gonna guess your a Kobe fan and donât even realize the irony
SAS and MB said it well. Players using code words to get coaches fired. Barkley said it before, when the Lakers lose, there's always a fall guy. It is hard to establish continuity when you keeping changing coaches. And LBJ is the GM
It's a young man's game. All them future hall of famers are sitting at home. Steph, Bron A.D. Harden George, Leonard, Russ, KD, Paul, Butler, Lilliard, Giannis,
AD was following in the footsteps of the greatest excuse giver in the history of sports! A show of what his leadership looks like! Great job of making the Lakers a joke.
Every Lakers fan that watched all season knew that this was coming. From the ever changing rotations, questionable substitutions, and lack of awareness of in-game situations, I'm surprised that he lasted until the playoffs.
The coach is the only person that has an outside perspective that can see every mistake that's going on on both floors, and they are supposed to adjust. You put Gregg Popovich, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley any of the all time great coaches and the lakers aren't a bad team and could win against the denver, also would help to have a point gaurd too tho that doesnt suck ass, LeBron could but then were out a SF.
So how is it the coach fault that the players get on the court and don't know what they're doing.And these are some of the most elite basketball players on earth
Ham was minimum 75% of the problem, most of the rest was not having a back up center, no 2 way wing, and no physical players after LeBron and AD. Darvin Ham fucked around with the starting line up for 50 games! The Lakers win percentage once they correctly went with the continuity lineups had a .700 win percentage. If the coach didn't galaxy brain the season we wouldn't have played Denver in round one let alone blown 4 double digit leads and 5 9+ point leads. Especially after watching Minnesota game 1.
In my opinion of opinions......a coach should be the small part of the bigger problem. The players know how to play....they should also know how to game plan......the coach seems to be the master head and nothing else
AD and LeBron both in Cancun the next day. No reservations needed. Half the NBA is down there. Its a big ole party. Lets drop this game and get down there.
Darvin Ham was ONE of the problems. Great players are held accountable, but AD and LeBron could only do so much. DLo, AR15, Rui all disappeared, and the second unit didnât do shit either. The entire time, Coach is standing there with his hands in his pockets like itâs all good đ€·đ»ââïžđ€·đ»ââïž
I know he isnât telling AD to hold accountability since heâs literally doing what heâs asked to do which is to defend and drop 30 which heâs done consistently this season
These "analysts" need to watch the damn games. How you gonna hold AD accountable when he and Bron were the ONLY consistent ones throughout that series? Ham literally declared more than once in the past year that he had no idea how to stop Jokic. Why keep him around then?
The lakers would still be playing if not for ham starting prince and playing him 35 min a night for the first 50 games. During that span rui DLo and AR were benched and played reduced minutes. Lakers literally were playing their worst lineups. Once the best lineup, which even a blind man could see, was allowed to start, the lakers went on a nice run at the end of the season
Accountablility??? AD took that when he was hurt or injured or bad. He played amazing but so many plays were missed so many opportunities. Defense was weird af against denver 12 games inna row
Stephen A doesnât even watch the games unless its the knicks and he barley watches those gamesđ
Stephen A went on first take talking about how good Quentin Grimes has been for the Knicks months after he got traded to Detroit. He doesn't watch the Knicks either, he just has a big/loud mouth and thats about it

They need to get rid of Lebron and start building the team. Heâs just toxic no matter where he goes.
4 coaches in 6 years, 120 teammates .. 4 up 6 down On the big stage, but it's the coach's fault đ€·đŸ
Magic fired the first coach no one though he was good lol magic was begging to fire him đ then vogal he was An actual
Good coach who knew his simple thing as coach and adjustment rotation line up . He wasnât fired cuz he was shit the front office chose Russ over him cuz the money .. and ham donât when to say anything he so shit my nigga đ u lakers have success when they hire coach with experience like vogal ..
Imagine saying you could beat anybody else at the damn bottom in the 8th seed lol
Ham ainât the problem. Get Bron and AD out of LA please. I want my Lakers back. I was all in with Julius Randle, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Jordan Clarkson, Zubac, Nance, Ball. I want my Lakers back
28-61 squad right there
â@@pokiis3108you know how long ago that was? They were all kids at that time. Most of em have bloomed into real ballers.
đ non of those niggas have done anything lakers go ring out of Ad . Only one I like is Josh hart lol but he developed over year lol . we had a team that was good lol but Pelinks didnât wanna pay them and then after that they got desperate and traded more of core away for Russ
Haha he said Lonzo BallâŠ.yeahâŠbring him back đ đ đ
â@@Tone_Locc_ That team is a 11th seed in the West and a 9th seed in the East.
How could anyone be surprised by this move. Dude was a scapegoat from the very beginning
Michael, Winborn makes a hell of excellent point
Anthony Gayvis knows what hes doing. Collecting a ck, and not worrying about winning.
If you actually watch the Lakers games its pretty obvious that Darvin Ham was the major part of the problem
How?
Did Darvin ham brick the most decisive shot of the season in game 2?
â@@robesch88too many facts to point at to show you how, one would be listen to what AD said in this video, and two would be go back and watch all 82 games and you'll see how.
@@ptd570so many âfactsâ but people like you canât ever say one lol
Let me guess âhis lineupsâ? Not one person has said what magical lineup ham is supposed to run with these trash ass teams heâs been given. âPlay rui moreâ. Rui plays zero defense, doesnât pass, and was hurt half the time. âPlay Hayes so we have another bigâ. Hayes fucking sucked and every time he touched the floor the team went negative.
âHis schemes donât workâ. His schemes got them to the wcfs, and this year they led over Denver for 90% of the series. The players themselves shit the bed, especially bron and dlo. If ham supposed to go out there and shoot for dlo? Is ham supposed to box out Gordon for bron?
Was he the problem when they won the in season tournament?
@@terrells5763 wtf does that mean, they underachieved. F the in season tournament
People will somehow still find a way to blame Lebron and he was Darvin's biggest advocate when he got hired.
When a head coach can't be the head coach but has to be the scapegoat...
Ant Edwards and the Wolves boutta fold the Nuggets in half
They want to blame LeBron so bad. Just face it. Ham isn't a champion coach. And that's what they need. A real head coach makes a big difference.
AD Weak đą
I've been saying that for years..... The players are NVR held accountable....
Sure...its Coach Ham's fault that AD consistently does a Houdini in the 4th quarter?
The common denominator for the losses is still there.
What half the team? You're totally right. Get rid of all of them for some draft picks and build an actual team.
@@blkmtl96 AD can stay, Lebron can go.
@@WitNest.. sure then DLo can play the point
@@kersst DLo and Lebron are cut from the same cloth. Very inconsistent and both fold under pressure so he can go too.
@@WitNest..đđđđ boy you donât watch basketball do you? Lebron fold under pressure??? Iâm just gonna guess your a Kobe fan and donât even realize the irony
My thumbs up is for Michael wilbon
Lebron and Davis have to be told what to do that cracks me up
Please let us get that good coach in Atlanta đ„đđ„
You cant have 2 divas on the same team.
When the player have this much control.you have this problem...you play and thats it
The coach ALWAYS gets the blame if the team is doing bad. And yes coaching is THAT important.
Ever since Phil Jackson left head coach of the Lakers is a temp job
â @chronicblast5505Lakers franchise was already ruined before lebron got to the team remember the 2016 season record, it was 17-65
Wilburn has a point but AD told what he experience as a player in that team
The roster construction, via GM , is the issue
SAS and MB said it well. Players using code words to get coaches fired. Barkley said it before, when the Lakers lose, there's always a fall guy. It is hard to establish continuity when you keeping changing coaches.
And LBJ is the GM
It's a young man's game. All them future hall of famers are sitting at home. Steph, Bron A.D. Harden George, Leonard, Russ, KD, Paul, Butler, Lilliard, Giannis,
AD was following in the footsteps of the greatest excuse giver in the history of sports! A show of what his leadership looks like! Great job of making the Lakers a joke.
He won an In-Season title though.đđđđđđ
Lebron and AD were absolutely not the problem in the series
not when ur the only two dropping 30+ each game and ur star player is 40
Mike Wilbon was dead on accurate!!
High paid players gotta play & be held accountable but not nowadays!!!
Every Lakers fan that watched all season knew that this was coming. From the ever changing rotations, questionable substitutions, and lack of awareness of in-game situations, I'm surprised that he lasted until the playoffs.
Preach, Wilbon!!!!
The coach is the only person that has an outside perspective that can see every mistake that's going on on both floors, and they are supposed to adjust. You put Gregg Popovich, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley any of the all time great coaches and the lakers aren't a bad team and could win against the denver, also would help to have a point gaurd too tho that doesnt suck ass, LeBron could but then were out a SF.
The last 2 finals game those were the lakers we needed the regular season
Lakers & Cowboys Fans Are The Same , When They Loose It's The Head Coach Fault
Them Damm Denver Nuggets be getting people firedđ đ đ đđđ let's Go!!!!!!
Having Shaq, Kobe And Dennis Rodman On The Same Team And Not Even Making It To The Finals Uhhh Of Course The Coach Is The Problem.
So how is it the coach fault that the players get on the court and don't know what they're doing.And these are some of the most elite basketball players on earth
The coach is always going to be the scapegoat , the players needs to be hold accountable for what they do đźđź
Ham was minimum 75% of the problem, most of the rest was not having a back up center, no 2 way wing, and no physical players after LeBron and AD. Darvin Ham fucked around with the starting line up for 50 games! The Lakers win percentage once they correctly went with the continuity lineups had a .700 win percentage. If the coach didn't galaxy brain the season we wouldn't have played Denver in round one let alone blown 4 double digit leads and 5 9+ point leads. Especially after watching Minnesota game 1.
In my opinion of opinions......a coach should be the small part of the bigger problem. The players know how to play....they should also know how to game plan......the coach seems to be the master head and nothing else
Even fired, Ham is still subbing in Gabe Vjbcent
Ham fired is basically the Lakers saying that WCF was an accident đđ
AD and LeBron both in Cancun the next day. No reservations needed. Half the NBA is down there. Its a big ole party. Lets drop this game and get down there.
LeBron taught AD how to be a coach killer.
AD and LEBRON did their personal best. It just wasnât enough
They clearly didn't watch the full lakers games.
Steve is actually correct on this one
Darvin Ham was ONE of the problems. Great players are held accountable, but AD and LeBron could only do so much. DLo, AR15, Rui all disappeared, and the second unit didnât do shit either. The entire time, Coach is standing there with his hands in his pockets like itâs all good đ€·đ»ââïžđ€·đ»ââïž
They donât understand the coaches controls the rotation of the players
I agree w/ Mike Wilbon... run it back! They should have signed Dwight Howardđźâđš
I know he isnât telling AD to hold accountability since heâs literally doing what heâs asked to do which is to defend and drop 30 which heâs done consistently this season
These "analysts" need to watch the damn games. How you gonna hold AD accountable when he and Bron were the ONLY consistent ones throughout that series? Ham literally declared more than once in the past year that he had no idea how to stop Jokic. Why keep him around then?
When he didn't challenge that sidelines out of bounds on LeBron call and LeBron just walked off like fr? Ok, ok muthaf@#_&a, it's cool đ
Chauncey billups already got about 150 losses as a coach already
The second I saw LeBron jumping up and down on the side pouting the coach was gone
They need to hire Mark Jackson
The lakers would still be playing if not for ham starting prince and playing him 35 min a night for the first 50 games. During that span rui DLo and AR were benched and played reduced minutes. Lakers literally were playing their worst lineups. Once the best lineup, which even a blind man could see, was allowed to start, the lakers went on a nice run at the end of the season
Accountablility??? AD took that when he was hurt or injured or bad. He played amazing but so many plays were missed so many opportunities. Defense was weird af against denver 12 games inna row
Wilbon has a point..
