I swear nobody is going to miss LeBron when he retires
James jones said it best😳😳😳
TJ said he's not a basketball player, so his take I can't even listen to. Cut his Mike off
@@CourtneyMiller-ui8xp FACTS
👏👏👏 THIS DYNAMIC IS THE BEST YET TJ WHOSYAMAMA, JOY SLICK AND JJ IS THE MOST VERSATILE COMBO NBA, NFL, ETC LETS GO
If they hire JJ and draft bronny they should just rename the franchise the LA Lebrons 😂
The L’A brons 😅
@@juniorvelihbh3768 very funny internet bum
Bronnie isn't coming to the Lakers. That's already been squashed. But thank you anyway.
Mark Jackson we'll get us shooting better an playing better defense
@@AnonymousUser-ss2qrIt’s sad but true. This is a proud franchise with a rich tradition, but they’ve allowed LaBron to totally hijack the team. If LaBron doesn’t want a coach anymore, he’s gone. If LaBron wants certain players, they get them, no questions asked. And one day he will just walk away, mostly likely leaving the team in a mess..
James Jones is spot on.
Wrong. Ham was the reason the lakers were in 7th in the first place. They lost too many reg season games because of his line up changes. They should have been in 4th place at least. Ham was inconsistent with the line ups. That caused a 1st round exit.
@@eddiepo6924he did that so taller guys may get better and have at least the fighting chance against bigger guys. Look what happened against the denver? Did you see how reaves and dlo getting bullied by porter , gordon and kcp?
@@eddiepo6924no the West is too good that’s why.
@@eddiepo6924BS, you're just a bron-baby who NEVER holds him accountable. Foh

TJ is Laker purple and gold through and through 😂 gotta admire his delusion lol
mfers who pretend theyre part of the team lmaooo
like bro who is WE?

😂😂😂 HES A FOOL "ITS HOW YOU LOSE" WAS THE MOST HOMER THING AN LA FAN COULD SAY. LOVED MY LAKERS BUT THEY ALL GOT SHIPPED OUT TO N.O. IM HAPPY TO SEE JOSH HART DOING HIS THING AND RANDLE EVEN IF HES ON THE BENCH THEY DESERVE IT.
We don’t have bandwagons fan
@@phillipfry1583so if you’re not a Lakers fan, just say that because everybody WITH A BRAIN knows Ham needed to go.
LeBron has went through 3 coaches in 6 years in LA. So, basically these coaches only last 2 years. Yikes
Same with Giannis but the world turns a blind...🤷🏽♂️🍻🍺
So Ham was a great coach?
Coach can’t get the job done and makes mistakes even Stevie Wonder can see he has to go,Ham was bad
He's had 8 coaches in 21 seasons. That's a new coach every 2.5 seasons.
Lakers not picking the right guys. Lue should be the Lakers coach rn but because he wanted to hire his own staff and they didn't want that so he declined the offer.
Probably, Doc rivers the way he gets passed around the league like a blunt.
😂😂
Doc Rivers is not the coach that they want, but it is the coach that these Los Angeles Lebrons deserve
@@PurpleMonkeyDishwasher88 just to get beat by a younger team or go up 3-1 and collapse to lose the series?
Lmao
😂😂he deuce bigalow at this point😂
TJ: "I am not a basketball player." That is the best statement you made for a fallacious take.
Still more useful than Joy in basketball segments. She should be switched out lol
@@randomupdates4013Joy should just be used as a moderator and get actual former nba players with no biased opinions on there
This man is delusional. Talking about competing vs the Nuggets? Lost 12 of the last 13 games to them. Only a few of those were close games. He talkin like 1-2 plays are different and the Lakers would've won 12 of the 13. That's typical Laker fan delusion. Then he said "Sometimes it's how ya lose." That's wild.
@@randomupdates4013 If Joy was flat chested , she wouldnt even be on the show
@@roboninja3194 He was correct
They blame Ham but he wasn't the one disappearing in the 4th quarter, missing all the shots from 3 and letting Gordon out working him for rebounds and putting on dunk contest. I wonder whats the record for dunks in a series
whos doing the player rotations, timeouts, challenges, doing player substitutions, player motivations hehehehe. if player is not doing good your suppose to do something. dont be an analyst if your bias, just watch.. you got a whole season to correct the wrongs and what happened sheesh.. hes been experimenting with player rotations the whole season 😂😂😂
@@nickjamesmendoza8837Lebron
@nickjamesmendoza8837 he did the best he could, it's a reason they were the 8th seed for a reason, with new coach they are still gonna be 8th are play in at best
He 100% deserves getting fired for starting Prince and Reddish for 50+ games. That's why LA was the 7 seed and fighting to even get into the playoffs in the first place.
U don’t know what u talking about just say u ain’t watch the lakers
Firing Ham doesn't solve the coaching problem. When we all know that LeBron is the coach. 😂😂
if LeBron was the coach why didn't he call a fcuking timeout
Nice try but obviously he's not the coach if he was mad at the coaches decisions 🤷🏾😂😂 but I get your point the media makes lebron seem like he knows everything and obviously he doesn't 🤷🏾😂😂
yeah we all know you hate lebron.
Or why was he screaming at himself for not calling a challenge…people love narratives rather than thinking for themselves.
He's a GM/assistant coach hybrid. No player accountability!
For the Denver Series Offensive Rebounds: Aaron Gordon 18, Lebron James 4
😂😂dude he had more than that the last game 😂🤣tf are u talking bout
@@xazvierstevenson6999 brother I just looked it up, he literally only had 4 Offensive Rebounds the whole series 😂😂😂😂 that’s atrocious!
Game 1 - 2
Game 2 - 0
Game 3 - 0
Game 4 - 1
Game 5 - 1
@@xazvierstevenson6999 Fact: Aaron Gordon who got 18 offensive rebounds to help win the Denver series. Lebron had only 4 offensive rebounds for the entire series.
wow, isnt that suppose to be a team problem. where's the box out. its not a single players fault but the whole team, a good coach should have done something about that. if you look at how denver defends and box out after a shot you would know and compare it with the lakers.. if your not AD how you get offensive rebound against Jokic, AG and MPJ inside.
@@RetrieverTrainingAlone What does him getting offensive rebounds have to do with anything. He's never been an offensive rebounder. He only average around 1 per game and he was only one short of that.
There is absolutely no way James wasn't involved directly or indirectly with the coach being fired
Lebron is involved DIRECTLY in every move made with his teams going back to his first stint with the Cavs.
of course he was...thats what he does....these teams dont have the balls to tell him no.....let him move on and start with the rebuild
@@kelbob00not true they didn’t get multiple people bron wanted it’s not just him multiple players wanted ham gone and he’s not a great coach
THE LEBRONEMY NEVER CHANGES JUST THE PLAYERS AROUND HIM. THE FORMULA IS ALWAYS THE SAME GET A ROOKIE COACH YOU CAN MANIPULATE AND STACK THE TEAM AND GET RID OF ALL TRADE ASSETS. IF THAT DONT WORK GET THE CLUTCH SPORTS MEDIA TEAM TO PUSH THE PROPAGANDA THAT ITS EVERYONE ELSES FAULT BECAUSE NUMBERS "DONT LIE." THE STAT PADDING IS AT A RIDICULOUS LEVEL (RUSS MVP TRIPLE DOUBLE SEASON). HES THE BIGGEST MANUFACTURED FRAUD IN AMERICAN SPORTS HISTORY AND NOBODY CALLS THIS OUT
Especially after his tantrum about not contesting a call!! If they draft his kid to Pacify him ! Let LeBron coach them!
If they keep LeBron. He should be a player/coach. He is the one coaching anyway.
Let's See If He Can Be Like Bill Russell.🤷🏾
They don't allow player coaches anymore.
@roboninja3194 Woah! I didn't Know That. That's Messed Up.
Yeah good luck lmao
@@roboninja3194 I know but it's LeBron, that created the in-season tournament and the play-in for him. Get to work LeBron, call Adam Silver and get this done.
Ham knew he was getting fired so he said what needed to be said
This is what the Lakers do. Outside of Pat Riley and Phil Jackson, the Lakers have switched coaches every 2-3 years over the last 40 years. Giannis has had 3 coaches in a year and probably a 4th after next season because Doc don’t have much time lol
Exactly this isn't new. When Byron was there, it was the same there
I wish the Lakers hire someone who isn't afraid to stand up for themselves. I swear the Lakers are afraid of upsetting LeBron and AD than focusing on the future
If you realize even james jones is getting tired of this toxic situation
Hold ya head darvin ham im happy you remove yourself from a toxic situation
TJ doesn't need to talk about basketball ever again on SPEAK. Can't take y'all seriously as far as basketball with this at the table🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Man, say that again. TJ's take is complete trash. I started muting the volume when he talked
None of them need to talk about basketball tbh
Jones and bucker wont stay on tv if they keep criticizing lebum. You are not allowed to call lebum out on this show. You will get canned
jordan has no left bud
King James doesn’t like his babysitter. Who knew?!?!
Mark Jackson will demand respect in that locker room
He has been
How about Sam Cassell ? Greg Anthony? Nate McMillan? Mark Jackson. You guys act as if these guys can’t coach?
I agree with everything James and Ric said about the Lakers saga. Also the new coach needs to reiterate how important the record of the team and the seeding of the playoffs is show and tell. Those teams that made the playoffs that never made it before beat them especially if you know if you're going to have to face them in the postseason!! The Lakers style has always been playing above the competition not below or average. The right coach will know and emphasize more than I have mentioned. Thank you for the show I love and enjoy SPEAK (despite my busy schedule working at Moe's at Campbell University). Thank you to everyone on the panel and behind the scenes for being real, factual and opinionated and bringing the excitement!!
That's what happens when you play 20 games with the best 3rd 4th n 5th players on the got dam bench
SCAPEGOAT FOR LEBUM
jordan has no left
Mark Jackson. He's a perfect fit
How? Hasnt coached in 10 years. He did ok helping develop what would be a dynasty but they still fired him to become that dynasty. This team isnt good. They need to get rid of lebron and develop a new coach.
@@universe-ie2mkLOL. Hater. He built that team. Not how when Mike Brown was there, they were winning, but once he left - The Warriors can't fight anymore.
Ah yes, the coach who created a toxic environment with his religious preaching and outdated coaching style is the perfect fit for a team in 2024-25...ya'll just say anything
@@HardCold-Alquan Mike Brown wasn't there whey they went 73-9. They were winning before Mike Brown got there you clown.

He played defense it's just cool to say he doesn't
He old.
@@lilztheking1751 He played defense? He got cooked by AG on rebounds the whole series, and on one game AG scored almost 30. Lol
All you do is dream of Lebron lol 😆
@@lilztheking1751what defense? Lebron literally got torched my Aaron Gordon in the Nuggets series because he was standing around ball watching. Look how many times Gordon got wide open dunks because Lebron lost him on defense. Lebron hasn't been good on the defensive end for the past 5 or 6 years.
The NBA is in a crazy state when they fire coaches for not winning a title within two years! Heck, they fired two coaches who won titles with The Lakers and Bucks! What more are they looking for? James lost his impact, and was that a coach that lost that?
just watch the games. ask yourself why you lead all the time and lose at the end, isnt there suppose to be an adjustment. you have plenty of tumeouts on 1 game the next you dont have any? whose suppose to do check that. your players are mismatched what do you do? your team is doing turnover after turnover what do you do? the opponent is cutting your lead and on a momentum what do you do? sheeesh a coach should adjust to that.

Thank you James Jones 🔥🔥🔥
It’s sad the excuses they give 🤯 we do this after every season. Preseason, we acting like the Media didn’t love all the moves the Lakers made 😂 🛑 it already. Darvin just the latest scapegoat 😂
Lakers already passed on Ty Lue.
LBJ tried to get Spo fired but Pat Riley said no.
Stop reinventing history 😂
The Lakers just got beat.
Facts also to say you have a chance with LeBron still is laughable
Darvin wasn’t perfect as a coach. Then again who is really? Even the all time great coaches make mistakes from time to time. From rotations to decisions in game it happens. 🤷🏽♂️
As a Lakers fan I’m not sure where we gonna get this perfect coach at. At the end of the day players still gotta play and do their job.
Prepare to be a supporter of a losing team for the foreseeable future. Lakers sold their franchises soul to LeBron James, and yall aren't getting it back for a long time. His ill-effect will last for at least another decade
James Jones said that!!!! I agree w both of y'all
More coaches than rings?
retired twice is not a good look
Darvin Ham wasnt the only problem but he was a big part of the problem. He doesn't make adjustments when other teams go on runs, he doesn't use timeouts to break momentum, it took him 75% of the season to go back to the lineup that was successfully last season & challenges must not exist because he doesn't use them! And for Joy this roster has been injured the majority of the season Vando their best wing defender plays in this series and we probably would win it despite coach tag along!
A brodie the lakers live at the free throw line the last 2 years by a large amount. The league is carrying them because there not good enough 💯Lebron is old and chasing stats and is holding the lakers hostage
huh, where the lakers at before lebron got there?
@@dreadheadj5558The Lakers actually were on the come up they just needed the right head coach
Then WHY was Frank Vogel let go? Firing Darvin Ham is just the symptom to the cancer that is LBJ
1000 plus more free throws then the next best team CARRIED THEM TO PLAYINN
The national media fails to understand the Lakers issues in a vacuum. No one close to the situation thinks it’s all Darvin’s fault that they lost to the Nuggets
Exactly this! 💯
Ty Lue isn't dragging this team to the Finals, Ty Lue only has a ring due to LeBron in an easier time to win
Give us mark Jackson
Bro Ham playing calling and time out management was wack! Period point blank.
The NBA is all about players…. This is why LBJ will never be the 🐐

I’m not an Acho hater but the balance undeniable. Best team?? Joy is a good moderator but so so panelist, so helps her skill utilization when is moderator. Dave brings a journalist skill, stats and can talk positional scheme and draft/trade analysis. Shady and James different personalities but former players to bring personal experience. 🔥
I am. Corky from "Life goes on" would do better than Acho.
Problem is you can tell some of them don’t study what they are going to talk about. So the convo turns into a shallow hot take spitfire.

TJ "I don't want to answer the real question" Houshmandzadeh. Gotta give credit to TJ though. He climbed up on his hill, stood firm and never wavered. He's LeBron's guy for real.😅😅
James jones hit the head on the nail. Completely agree that at some point the players need to take accountability for their poor play
!!!!!!
So if the Lakers hire Bud can Ham still be the assistant 😂😂
They played Darvin hope he land on his feet with a young hungry squad!💯
Darvin Ham was fired when he failed to listen to Lebron on the court to challenge plays.
😂😂
Lebron failed to listen to Ham when he was coaching. It goes both ways.
"If Joker killing YOU, what are YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?" JAMES JONES PREACHING 🔊
What are we talking about here. Hire JJ Reddick to make people happy? What has happened to media and this league???
1:00 it was the whole team, they all made comments about the other team being well coached .
Either blame the coach or admit you aren't good enough yourself, ofcourse they complain about the coaching🤣
Yeah, I caught that. If Bumpy was a good coach they would have been in a higher seed. That slump was on him and his rotations.
@@duecelavish771He has his flaws but the players share a lot of this blame.

No more basketball segments for TJ lol that was a hard watch lol!!!! He said Rick Carlille 😂😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Gotta Love ex NFL football players critiques, analysts, breakdowns on current NBA Superstars .... Nothing like sports media
15:19 James you call time out and regroup because something is going wrong. That’s why you’re the coach . If you see something say something don’t just stand there.
If i was on this set me and tj had to throw hands 😅😅😅.
Fr fr😂
problem is ham's lineup rotations during regular season, where he gave more minutes to reddish and prince than rui and dlo. plus reaves coming off the bench, that's completely absurd, lakers should be in the top 4 in the west rather than in play in.
Rui n dlo playing way more then prince nem u tripping G
They really brought Tj on this show to laugh at him cuz that argument he had was horrendous lol
My lifelong favorite team, I stopped watching when they picked LeBron up
That means you're not a fan.
Lmao😂
Same. I’m done. Jeanie needs to sell
I'm a Warriors fan...and if they get lefraud...I would not watch them.
@@kilduce4423 bye u won't be missed lmao
Phil Handy should be the coach and should have been the coach.
They fired him too stupid
Phil Handy got fired too
Darwin Ham was just the Fall guy for the lakers, they didn't want to blame the Front office , the G.M. they needed a fall guy.
!!!!!!!!!!
I'm hearing Spoelstra way too much for my comfort level in this conversation! 😂😂😂
The Heat aren’t giving up Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley wouldn’t allow it 😂😂😂
Darvin ham messed up cause he gave the players the offense I heard him all year saying this offense is free flowing everybody can be aggressive & shoot when open but that’s a bad idea cause in 4th the team as a whole wasn’t trying to feed AD that’s why he only avg 3 pts in the 4q in the playoffs he should of made sure himself to call AD number from the side line I understand you wanna give the players freedom but in the 4th Davis should be getting majority of the touches but he didn’t coach that
Ok but they were up every game the players gave up the leads not the coach
@@conradgil621 yeah there was leads that was giving up but it’s certain things schematically you have to be able to do on the fly & its a lot of times he didn’t make those adjustments for instance playing small ball with 3 guard line ups the lakers win more when they play bigger so those lineups should’ve never hit the floor no matter what cause when they was out there lakers Always gave up leads & had trouble scoring
Go tell Lebum that. He literally iced AD over and over again so he can get his stats and try to be the “Hero” but instead consistently drove into multiple defenders flailing like a fish out of water begging for calls 😂😂😂 don’t get me started on the turnovers omgoodness he is a TERRIBLE, OVERRATED playmaker!! So many dumb passes it’s laughable! Lebum is the most disgraceful all time player in the history of basketball!
lol where is acho cause hes the worst coach i have ever seen
Lakers need a offensive coach
“Lebron go shoot some bricks 🧱”
!!!!!!
Hello, Lakers Management, Y'all Fired The Wrong Person. LeBron is The Lakers Coach, Not Darvin Ham. 😂😂😂
Watching this video made me so annoyed 😂 Darvin Ham was terrible, Lebron & Ad was carrying them in that series
Joy and TJ are making me sick smh. Thank you James and Rick. James been cooking lately 🔥
8 coaches in 21 seasons. That's a new coach every 2.5 seasons. He's gotten 6 of the 8 fired and tried getting Spo fired but Riley said no. In just 6 seasons the roster has been overhauled twice. 3 coaches in 6 seasons on the Lakers. This what ya get when you let a player un the franchise. And when he leaves/retires the team will be even more of a mess.
Real question is what coach would want to go there? Knowing where the blames going
Why are they acting like keeping Darvin Ham was gonna get the Lakers anywhere? Yeah there's no guarantee the next guy will do any better, but we KNOW it wasn't gonna work with Darvin Ham. Dude has made some awful lineup choices and decisions, he looks like he's in over his head half the time. The Lakers still need to fix the roster, but firing Ham at the end of the day was the right move. I just wish they could fire Pelinka too.
These dudes don't even watch the games. That being said, TJ is AWFUL at making arguments.
You're right here, yep TJ was awful arguing that point of why Ham had to go!
Agreed, all TJ had to do was point at how Ham didn’t even bother to call timeouts during Denver’s runs as they cut into EVERY lead. That would’ve shut them up.
@@tmc31390Exactly that! 👊
You can tell on the panel who didn't watch the lakers this year and it shows lol
James had the best take. It wasn't that the Nuggets won but rather the Lakers lost. Losing a hefty lead all the time.
James!!!!!
Tom Brady leaves the Patriots and wins a Silver Platter Super Bowl gift wrapped, and Belicheck’s teams start losing. The media killed Belicheck because they weren’t going to allow the public to trash the goat. I never heard this same energy for Belicheck even though he won all of those Super Bowls?
Gift wrapped Super Bowl destroying Mahomes and the Chiefs dynasty 😂
@@jlowrey68 no but so they didn’t mess with Brady’s legacy
Darvin Ham was terrible at making adjustments during a series. He’s Doc Rivers with a gym membership. What part of that don’t yall understand
Right. They lost 13 out of 14 games I believe. A lot of them where close games at the end or they where up by a decent amount during the games. His late game play calling during those close games is what really caused them to lose them close games. Lebron isn't young anymore and can't take over so his coach has to be able to put them in some effective sets.
Yet you fired a championship coach to hire an assistant with no head coaching experience in Ham.
@@lewalcindor9356 They should've got Ty Lue. Instead of telling him who he had to have on his coaching staff. Also the coach before Darvin wasn't a championship coach either. He got to reap the benefits of having Lebron and Rondo on the same team that could set up things on the floor.
@leonw6463 so when the coach wins in LA it's all LeBron. When they lose it's all on the coach. 🤣 and that's exactly why no elite coach will go there.
@@lewalcindor9356 I don't think its lebron fault at this age cause he's a roll player. I think it's the whole team fault. Darvin play calling at the end of games, AD not stepping up in the fourth quarters, the office not going after a big that could give Jokic problems even if the brought back Dwight. An Lebron not forcing AD into playing pick and roll to pull Jokic to him and either going at him to try to get him in foul trouble or atleast tiring him out. With Lebron, DLo, and Austin they should played pick and rolls all day with whoever Jokic was guarding. It's all their fault but your not going to fire the 2 stars.
Good riddance of LeBalco James.
NBA been rigging games for LeBalco for 2 seasons now with that insane free throw disparity.
Darvin Ham is the newest scapegoat baby.
Give the late Ricky Harris credit for that out the bushes joke.
Why is Tj on the show goodnight
The Lakers roster isn't trash. They were good enough to have a lead 70% of the series. Ham is a young coach and could've made a few different decisions but the players folded including Lebron.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did lebron saying he doesn't know if he will be back have anything to do with Darvin Ham being fired. He said the same thing last year.
The coach was the scapegoat
THATS IT THATS ALL!!!!
This show gotta get rid of the Miami Vice dude on the left.
They said the same thing when frank got fired then they got darvin ham so just be patient
James and Rick on 🔥🔥🔥
Ham is who should have fired the lakers instead
The woman in the gray suit has a deep voice 😮! Blame Darvin, Westbrook, or blame AD, blame bench players...
I feel sorry for Darvin. He didn’t do the best job coaching but he didn’t deserve to lose his job.
LeBron never threw Ham under the Bus AD and D lo called him out and the fans called him out
LBJ get brought up in everything SMH
Take away the so-called Bubble season that lebron AD trade was a bust
I like how these same people critique DH for just keeping his hands in his pockets, and now that he gets fired, they are willing to switch the blame elsewhere. DH failed as a coach, and that's a fact!
😅 Who should be the next scape-goat for the goat?
the lakers have one of the best rosters in the NBA 2023-24 season on paper yo..
Lakers don't want doc rivers Lakers don't want lou Lakers want mark Jackson or handy or jj Reddick
Is it me or did joys height not change when she stood up lol
😂😂😂😂
I wonder what SUPERSTAR got more coaches fire while they was on the team ?
😂😂😂😂😂
Most of the key players didn't like what he was doing. Rui came off the bench and didn't like it. Reeves came off the bench and didn't like it. AD and Bron didn't believe in his strategy. DLo hated the benchings and lack of belief. D Ham is just a guy. Not bad, not good. They were a play-in team both years. Let's not make him Phil Jackson.
Not once has anyone mentioned what D Ham did great strategically at any point during his tenure??? He wasn't a motivator, not a great X/Os, just a guy.
I think I saw joy in a good mood she genuinely smiled and laughed I've never seen her so beautiful she needs to keep that going
Ham lost the locker room. When D'lo, the only guy supporting you also turned his back on you, then you're gone. Let's not forget that LeBron wanted Ty lue, but Jeanie hired another. Isn't that the same in other sports that when a coach lost the locker room and lost the respect of his players, they're gone?
Also, have we forgotten that Denver and Lakers was close until the end of all 5 games? An adjustment would've made the series longer, instead Ham got outcoached by Mike Malone in the 2nd half of those games. Atrocious game planning, rotations and play calls.
And if you watched the series, there were a lot of instances especially in game 3 where there were a lot of Lakers just running around the court, now knowing what they're doing. So AD was right when he pointed that out.
💯
Dlo went 0-7 and ham didn’t give max or Spencer more mins he just let Dlo keeping shooting bricks. That’s on the coach
Literally no one on this panel understands basketball, so why do they even talk about it?
First, you have to ask whether Coaching in the NBA matters. If no, then it doesn't matter whether Ham is the coach or not. If yes, then how do we evaluate the coach? What is the coach responsible for?
(We can ask a similar question about the GM).
The coach is responsible for rotations, the offensive & defensive scheme, calling time outs, challenging plays, etc. We have heard the players (and some media members) complaining about Ham's rotations and player management all year. We also saw two games that Lakers lost to the Nuggets by 2pts, where timeouts were significant. Those are things to evaluate Ham's coaching tenure on.
Similarly, either the Nuggets are the best team in the west or they aren't. If they aren't, then you can't use the Lakers losing to the Nuggets as an excuse to keep Ham as the coach. If they are, then there was a chance for the Lakers to be up in the series 3-2, and so, the Lakers are a championship contender (since any time that could have beat the best team in the west is a contender).
💯💯💯but darvin didn't deserve this🥴🥴🥴🥴😤
Joy is correct, Spolstra is perhaps the only person who could get more out of this roster. At the end of the day, the players should take accountability.
