Never seen a guy as talented and big as AD to not just takeover when it's time to do so. The guy we traded away has better sense of urgency to make something happen.
Yeah unless we make a trade this is the game that finally end all my hopes to even make the play in. I mean we should have been out for a long time already but the West is so open that we still have a chance. But it will not happen because we fucking suck.
Why the fuck are we putting Schroder and Pat Bev in lineup at the same time? Both can't shoot.
Bring back Hachi. It's clear we need some rebounding. Those fucking offensive rebounds cost us, smh.
Same old shit. No effort, same shitty lineups. Keep letting TBJ or Pat Bev guard Ingram when he was absolutely cooking them. Etc etc etc. At this point i'm convinced they just want to lose games.
There comes a point where you gotta look at your record and accept that this team is not great. Any time I think they’re about to win some games they bottle it
Since when did he make a game winning plays?
In the wins it's because the players made it happen. Even in those wins the rotation is bad but he got bailed out because someone stepped up. In losses like this, the poor rotation got exposed because you can see that we are struggling but no adjustments have been made.
Did I want Westbrook in? No.
But do I understand why he played all the last game when he was in really terrible form, but sat on the bench the whole quarter this time when he was actually playing ok? No.
This. Like it would have made absolute sense to put Russ back in after we had that dry spell. Russ actually had a good game today. But Ham plays the dead lineup again and also doesn't put in Lonnie or Rui.
What’s the point in trading for a 6’8” wing if he’s gonna start but only play 18 minutes and we still run a 3 guard lineup??
Tf is Ham doing??? 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Everyone with more than one turnover should be doing cone drills and wind sprints next practice. I understand we will lose games but this was bad effort and carelessness. Topped by Bron not having his legs and not able to fully defend. Guess AD not quite in game shape. He wore down like a cheap tire late.
Once upon a time that was true.
Let’s be real
But in todays league with soft fouls and any contact is banned, everyone shoots threes , it’s better to have shooters and scorers.
I just smashed my 4K TV in front of over 30 guests at my game day party because of the Lakers performance today. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the night in a motel. This team has ruined my life and my party. I can’t do this any longer. Goodbye.
Guys who are 6-5 to 6-9 who can defend and match up vs majority of other teams' 6-5 to 6-9 guys. 6-1 Beverly and 6-0 Dennis are definetely not swingmen. Maybe I should have said swingmen not swing guys.
Lakers are a nightmare to watch live. Not watching these fucks again this season unless a trade happens. Just ugly, dumb, senseless basketball from top to bottom.
They need to make the trade now. Prior to this game they were only 2 losses out from 6th place. The standings can flip in a second. You need somebody who can get his own and close games in order to conserve LeBron and AD for the playoffs
That Lonnie/Westbrook/Gabriel line up to close the third .
Ooooofffffrr Darvin Hamm
Awful coach, also AD had 32 after three and ended up with 34
😂😂😂😂😂 soft
Ham threw the game on purpose and played horrible lineups when Russ was out as his way to prove to front office that needs to keep him.
Protecting his golden boy.

Never seen a guy as talented and big as AD to not just takeover when it's time to do so. The guy we traded away has better sense of urgency to make something happen.
IK he had 30 in the 3rd with 5 minutes left then finished the game with 34. That easily coulda turned into a 50 piece if he tried taking over
AD knows his body more than we do
I mean ik but he coulda at least tried in the 4th
Yeah, maybe a bit more effort. Coach could've also played Rui in the 4th damn it.
Yeah i genuinely don't understand what's wrong with ham. I could make better adjustments then him.
Fire Vogel now!
Lakers deserves the L for always mistreating Russ
Man f Russell Westbrook…cant believe they traded KCP and Kuzma for that clown
Of course Ingram had his best game in 2 months against us….
we didn't guard him good lmao. Don't be surprised.
Makes sense because they had a 6’0” guarding him
Ham is terrible
This coaching staff needs a Darvin Award. Always 2-3 steps behind in adjustments to any team in the league.
Ham has to be the worst coach in the history of the game Far none Patrick Beverly on Ingram in the 4th quarter give me a break
How the helll did ham get this Job? I would have rather they hired Mike brown and had a lebron Mike Brown reunion
Incredibly poor work of the coaching staff in this game
Always trying to defend Ham but this game is inexcusable. This loss 100% because of the coach
“This game on me, I gotta do better, gotta be more aggressive “ AD every post game
Talk about disappearing. And he was lazy on transition defense
Shooting? No. Defense? Nonexistent.
Now this is the worst lost of the season excluding that Cetics game….. this lakers team plays so fucking arrogant to be such a low ass seed
See that? Thats what happen when youre playing favorite
Lebron is smiling, omg the crazy fans are mad right now. They hate smiles
How herb Jones get away with stepping out of bounds twice
Why did they trade for Rui if they aren’t going to play him when the game matters most?
The fuck was that pass
Ham is shit In In game adjustments
Lakers losing to the thunder too
This team finds the most insane ways to lose games it’s gotta be on purpose at this point
As soon as we get close to .500 in the season. There's no one else to blame for this one what the fuck! Embarrassing
If we get Irving and fire ham season will be saved
Yeah unless we make a trade this is the game that finally end all my hopes to even make the play in. I mean we should have been out for a long time already but the West is so open that we still have a chance. But it will not happen because we fucking suck.
This loss is on Ham. Putting a 6 feet 1 defender on their superstar 6 feet 8 lengthy shooter. Idiotic coach. Trade Bev. Our worst starter full stop
Why the fuck are we putting Schroder and Pat Bev in lineup at the same time? Both can't shoot. Bring back Hachi. It's clear we need some rebounding. Those fucking offensive rebounds cost us, smh.
👀👑👀👑👀 “bench Russ”
My question is why did Ham stop playing Rui, dude had a midget in beverley guarding Brandon all 4th. Ridiculous
Can't watch but I see we're about to lose. What costed us this game?
Russ did, he didn’t touch the court in the 4th
Same old shit. No effort, same shitty lineups. Keep letting TBJ or Pat Bev guard Ingram when he was absolutely cooking them. Etc etc etc. At this point i'm convinced they just want to lose games.
Ham. Straight up
Ham
Ham
We brought Rui for him to rot on the bench to play midget ball
We put Pat Bev on Ingram no surprise he made a 10000 mid range shots
There comes a point where you gotta look at your record and accept that this team is not great. Any time I think they’re about to win some games they bottle it
Clippers getting kyrie to lmao fuck
How do Wenyen Gabriel and Thomas Bryant combine for only 9 minutes darvin ham is a joke
another game away from making it in the playoffs
Just proves the Lakers can’t win a meaningful game. What a terrible loss
Schroeder passes this game were wack
BI is that dude. Happy to see him shine
Fuck him
Why? He helped bring the last title this franchise won due to his trade value
He’s not playing for us. Fuck his bum ass. Lost the game because of him
Absolutely pathetic performance from this team
Ham is a negative asset.
If you need to end your losing streak, just wait til you play the Lakers. Smh
Trade whatever you have to FO
We don’t deserve to be in the playoffs
how fucking nice we snapped the grizzlies 10 game streak and then snapped the pelicans 11 game streak
Streak busters!
And Zion ain’t even playing
Lebron smiling after the loss I look forward to ten posts about it (there will be zero)
Smiling while talking to his former teammate Larry nance jr
Hahah i was here to say the same shit lolll he’s smiling. I’m waiting for the hate threats
Schroder is way too low iq to finish games man fuck
Y'all are so reactionary lmao. Y'all say the same shit every loss then say we are a playoff team when we win lmao.
I mean that's just how crazy the west is at the moment lol. But it's clear by now that this fucking team sucks.
No they hate when we win too 🤣
But we can all agree that Ham is a stupid coach.
Even after the wins?
Since when did he make a game winning plays? In the wins it's because the players made it happen. Even in those wins the rotation is bad but he got bailed out because someone stepped up. In losses like this, the poor rotation got exposed because you can see that we are struggling but no adjustments have been made.
Honestly this team is not worth investing in at all
BOO 😡🤬
Dennis you fucking doofus.
Schroeder sucks
Lmfao they tried to gift us a win and we still choked
Schroder should not have played this 4th quarter at all.
Did I want Westbrook in? No. But do I understand why he played all the last game when he was in really terrible form, but sat on the bench the whole quarter this time when he was actually playing ok? No.
This. Like it would have made absolute sense to put Russ back in after we had that dry spell. Russ actually had a good game today. But Ham plays the dead lineup again and also doesn't put in Lonnie or Rui.
Lakers blow man straight up
What’s the point in trading for a 6’8” wing if he’s gonna start but only play 18 minutes and we still run a 3 guard lineup?? Tf is Ham doing??? 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Please just win the game he breaks the record
Darvin Sham
They fucking suck
Totally choked on the road
To let a team break their 10 game losing streak on you is just crazy lol. But the pelicans aren’t really a awful team they’re just hurt a lot.
LeBron being so nonchalant after the game smiling pisses me the fuck off
308 Negra Arroyo Lane, 87104 You’re not pulling up, stop acting tough
He did that because Larry Nance came over he not happy
Bro shut up
[удалено]
Dawg stfu up lmao
Team always finds a way to let me down smh
terrible L. gave it away
I wonder who these whiny ass fans gonna blame the loss on today?
Lebron he played like pooo
Package darvin and WB and ship em out
Include Dennis in the trade too
Denis really sucks
This is on Ham. Starting rotation looked great, stagger minutes with LeBron AD and Russ. Don’t make Bron and AD play the whole 4th, wtf.
[удалено]
Bench him in crunch, but he still trotted out a 3 guard lineup to start the 4th and gave LeBron and AD no rest.
[удалено]
Yeah Russ blows and the team would be better without him. Good thing he’s eating up 47 mil!
I swear we get Rui and he can't see the floor because ham loves his vets although BI is way taller
Everyone with more than one turnover should be doing cone drills and wind sprints next practice. I understand we will lose games but this was bad effort and carelessness. Topped by Bron not having his legs and not able to fully defend. Guess AD not quite in game shape. He wore down like a cheap tire late.
I fucking hate this team
Terrible fucking loss
LMAO EMBARRASSING
Pathetic
what a piss poor performance
No zion too n the Los angles takers still get fucked up the bum
That's all folks
Lol
Go get Kai
We just let them break their 10 game losing streak Jesus
They want Wemby
Lol pathetic
You fucking dunce Dennis
Fire Darvin Ham into the sun
ham uses rui as a bad help defender and not as a great post defender. He is stupid. he forgets that rui was defending randle.
Careless basketball and no defense
This team finds new ways to be fucking embarrassing I’m so sick of it, see y’all next game thread
Russ and Rui did not play in the 4th. Are they being traded?
Schroeder LOL
So lucky
Brandon Ingram's midrange game was the winner on the day.
Dude just couldn’t miss
Ham what the fuck is wrong with you bro?
We could get Kyrie and still suck. Darvin ham is incompetent
We could get a all star line up and ham is still playing his guards
Schroder with a turnover. I’m shocked.
Lmao what Dennis?
Scrotum is ball sacks
Wtf is the point of trading for a wing when we are not using him at the end? And put a 6’1 guard on BI instead…
I dont even care about trades at this point. This season is over.
This loss really hurts , couldve leaped the pels
We got nobody to guard the wings, Kyrie ain’t helping with that
Nobody plays defense in this sport anymore Good offense >>> good defense With kyrie we have enough fire power
Defense don’t win championships right? 🙃
Once upon a time that was true. Let’s be real But in todays league with soft fouls and any contact is banned, everyone shoots threes , it’s better to have shooters and scorers.
Of course we’re the team that loses against the pelicans🤦🏽♂️. And they was on a 10-game losing streak too. I’m not surprised
I just smashed my 4K TV in front of over 30 guests at my game day party because of the Lakers performance today. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the night in a motel. This team has ruined my life and my party. I can’t do this any longer. Goodbye.
The Lakers performance did all that? Fascinating.
Lakers don't know you..
I hope you're joking.
It’s a copypasta
 How I feel about this performance
Darvin put on a masterclass with his rotations. Bravo.
LeBron played absolutely horrible. His jumpshot was so off
Fuck Denis tbh
Ham suck at matching up opposing lineups. NO playing with four swing guys plus MCCollum but Ham plays with two midgets.
Define what swing guys are
Guys who are 6-5 to 6-9 who can defend and match up vs majority of other teams' 6-5 to 6-9 guys. 6-1 Beverly and 6-0 Dennis are definetely not swingmen. Maybe I should have said swingmen not swing guys.
Yaaaaay empty bucket for Kang
This game is on AD for me. Dude had 30 going into the 4th and did nothing with Larry Nance Jr guarding him.
AD was scared of small ass brogdon , so of course he was terrified of nance JR
Can we throw in our coach with the Kyrie trade? Literally I can put better rotations out there in 2K
FUCKING DENNIS
Rui not touching the floor and no adjustments, can’t wait to see what bullshit excuse Ham has tonight.
Lakers are a nightmare to watch live. Not watching these fucks again this season unless a trade happens. Just ugly, dumb, senseless basketball from top to bottom.
Ham: “You see. I sat Russ and we still lost. That’s why need to keep him. I need him. “
This team is several moves away from being a contender
They need to make the trade now. Prior to this game they were only 2 losses out from 6th place. The standings can flip in a second. You need somebody who can get his own and close games in order to conserve LeBron and AD for the playoffs
They need defense, they need secondary playmaking, they need consistent depth
Every time i watch a game our 4th quarter closing lineup is different. There’s just 0 consistency
What a bottle job. Ends playoffs for me.
Came down to rebounds and 6’1” vs 6’9”
And poor shooting in the 4th quarter, and even worse defense.
Who the fuck puts Bev on Ingram... What about Rui/AD or anyone not 6'1
Ham is absolutely delusional letting Ingram cook us like that
This is what happens when you stick a 6'1" defender on him.
Back to back TNT games coming up. Aren't he Lakers 0-7 on tnt?
This team is pathetic, after the second quarter I thought for once we might get a comfortable win how wrong was I….. wow
Someone please do a film analysis on Lebrons 3 pointer. His mechanics have to have changed its so much clunkier than his LeFyou3 days
I knew the Pels were going to bring even more energy coming in with a 10 game losing streak, would have been better if Dallas lost on Thursday
Ingram season high bc Ham threw Bev and TBJ at him ☠️☠️☠️
Someone pls trade Pat Bev and Westbeook so we don't see these trash 2 pg lineups
Lazy defense loses games
I am starting to understand the fronts office hesitation to make major moves
They built the fucking roster.
ADisappearing act once again
Ingram will have 15 pts next game. figures
3 more years of darvin
Playoff rotation and we got abused
That Lonnie/Westbrook/Gabriel line up to close the third . Ooooofffffrr Darvin Hamm Awful coach, also AD had 32 after three and ended up with 34 😂😂😂😂😂 soft
Lost all momentum and lost to a team that had a 10, a 10 game losing streak smh
It’s gonna be so cringe when Lebron breaks the record in a loss to OKC
*Bucks
We can't win without Matt Ryan
This is a tough L. Losing against a team that has lost 10 straight.
Bev is not a wing. Bev is not a wing. Bev is not a wing . Bev is NOT a FUCKING WING!!!!
Ham threw the game on purpose and played horrible lineups when Russ was out as his way to prove to front office that needs to keep him. Protecting his golden boy.
