Taureans 1v5 is play of the game
If the “player’s coach” who’s terrible in terms of schemes has a team going out there looking less motivated than us at our 9 to 5s, then what are we pretending he actually does anymore?
Not that the players themselves should be blameless either, and a game going double OT 2 days ago is no excuse.
We miss the clutch technical FTs to get back into it and then start playing hero ball and taking garbage shots. Can’t do anything with that.
Also, Ham, please, fuck off!
We aren’t catching the Suns, Kings, or Pelicans. No consistency. Play-in here we go
LAKERS BASKETBALL
Ham – awful decisions, awful defense
Hello Darvin my old ham
Another classic TP game, so fucking ass, and Reaves as well, just do the trade man
I actually don’t remember when was the last time Reaves had an actual great game lol
Cutting it to 10 and then going back down 20 a few minutes later is hilarious
Free Rui
AD seems to struggle against European bigs
Darvin postgame: “I thought our guys competed tonight and that’s all you can ask for. Rockets have a hell of a ball club over there man.”
If you don’t like .500, you don’t like ~~Atlanta Hawks~~ Lakers basketball!
-Darvin Ham
Another high efficiency low minutes game for Rui.
FO DO SOMETHING!!!
Ham needs to go ffs. And Prince needs to get less minutes that Rui
Why would you play Lebron 37 minutes to come back from down 30, while sitting AD
It makes no sense, and it probably will cost us tomorrows game too
What is Rui’s playing time…why is it less than Prince’s?
Yet everyone was raving about beating the 12th seeded warriors
Prince with a team leading -19 and 25 mins. Rui with a. Team leading. 0 😅 but 22 mins. I know many of u all hate rui out there. Maybe not many but. U r out there. And if u play ball u know rhythm is so key. Without knowing how many mins u will play and usually short mins. You might tend to play rushed or force stuff. That’s what ham doing to rui. And before to dlo. Ham is a player killer. Not a players coach
If Reaves being a defensive 0 is a given, he needs to be way better on offense to justify it. His 3 pt % is plummeting from last year and he’s hit 20 ONCE in the last 13 games.
These are our 2023-24 Lakers. Accept it, stopped being shocked when the team gets trounced after winning a tough game. They are who they are a sub 500 team that will be back below 500 soon. No trades are available to fix this. Either the collective talent puts it together and changes this or we a game 82 decision if we make the play in and an early round exit. Stop being surprised or offering trades that won’t change jack. Vando was selfish tonight. Immature. Someone dissapoints for this team nightly.
I don’t understand how you can have both out leaders off the floor at the same time. You need to have either Bron or AD at the floor at all times. This is the case for other 29 teams i can 100% assure you. Frank Vogel constantly preached about this when he was coaching our team
Fire Darvin Ham. Repeat until it comes true
Optics wise, last year starters went to war with the Warriors on Saturday. Yet Ham doesn’t start Vando still and keeps Prince. Lakers come out flat and Vando gets ejected. Probably just tired of Ham. Thats my tinfoil hats conspiracy for today
DLO just went in on Ham. Basically said he thought the game was over with 7-8 left and made no sense to keep the starters out there with a B2B and hinted at multiple players being injured as well. Referenced it a couple times. Seems like the players are over Ham at this point.
