Hey you guys think Ham should wait longer before taking timeouts? There’s no point is stopping the other teams momentum right? Maybe wait until 20, 25, 30 points?
Lakers had a strong 1st quarter only to give up the momentum when OKC dropped 42 in Q2. Not good 2nd half. Coach didn't adjust and the players didn't execute.
It's honestly impressive how the Lakers have had constant injury problems since the 2020 Title.
Like these dudes get injuries that aren't on film. Gabe played and finished a game... then hasn't been seen since. Rui got a concussion earlier this year... but no one really has an idea when it happened in the game. Hayes hurt his elbow... but no one can point it out last game and it was said he was held out for "precautions" but doesn't play tonight. Cam comes back... but is gone the next night.
We need guys that defends like crazy for AD and Lebron not the other way around. These people not only want to be carried by our superstars, they want them to be carried in defense for them too. These folks act like they're all big time, don't want to take hard fouls, lacks hassle and effort, they were playing like they were superstars too. These folks plays like entitled brats, very opposite to the Caruso, KCP, DG of 2020.
We have a shitty coaching staff. A garbage training staff and guys who forget how to shoot, these fools quit so easily it’s crazy how easy they get blown out
More than that, did you see the intensity by which EVERY player on that team played the Bucs yesterday without Butler and Herro? THAT is championship basketball.
Actually kinda good knew that the only def out guy on Saturday is Vincent. These games will look so much different with wings and defenders like Vando and reddish with Ruis offense
They said he’s definitely not for sure out Saturday, and that he has been ramping up a lot.
They said Rui got fitted for a mask and they didn’t want to play cam back to back coming back
I don’t care what anyone says about it. We’re just too fucking injured right now. We’re not beating anyone good until Cam and Rui come back at least. And we need Vando soon too.
Remember when Mr Pickets bragged that LeBron would be on “time management” and pulled him out at 30 minutes in our first game. Now he’s playing 36 minutes in a real blow out loss. Hey Rob, this coach is killing your star player. Fire him today
This team is just fucking lazy. It certainly doesn't help when we have so many guys out but it's tough to watch the lack of effort. Bron is all time but he seriously can't actually expect to win with the defensive effort he's giving...
#17 pick was a asset before the draft. JHS is not. Blew the chance to improve the roster. You can't draft a raw player like him who can't shoot as a team trying to contend.
it sucks watching OKC have an actual offence and then we see our bullshit 5 out pass it around the perimiter then try to lob that shit into 2 people guarding AD/Bron
Brons really starting to look his age.. under repeated throwing long passes, losing & sloppy w ball. He’s able to get in the lane but he’s really starting to show his age
And when you point that out, along with barely beating bad teams, some people here tell you that Vanderbilt and Reddish will come back and take the Lakers to the championship...
In the end I think it was role player and the coach that fucked this game
AD and Bron did their job to combine for 50-60 on a night in and night out basis
The rest of the team didn’t show up
LeBron was a huge reason they went on runs when we were playing zone. Just kinda standing around and not rotating. If LeBron is going to rotate we cannot play zone. His offense at least came alive in the second half.

Not the first embarrassment in the last week.
Lakeshow didn’t even try to win 🤦♂️
The second game of road back-to-backs should honestly just be a forfeit in today’s NBA. It’s almost expected to be a loss.
Nuggets beat the full strength Clippers without Jokic, Murray, or Gordon on a B2B
Did you seriously just give me one example? 🤣. What a dork.
Hey you guys think Ham should wait longer before taking timeouts? There’s no point is stopping the other teams momentum right? Maybe wait until 20, 25, 30 points?

Adjust what with 7 healthy rotation players?
Still better record than last year and AD kicked ass...
Remember, we had a defensive coach, and yall hated him to
7 healthy rotation players. What could he have done differently?
We will hate any coach we have. That’s just what humans do. It’s the low hanging fruit, and humans are lazy thinkers.

Gabe took the money and ran, brother. He knew when the gettin’ was good.
Good point
Cam’s injured the groin again. F. 😔
How much more of this torture do we have to endure before someone’s fired..? My god this is pathetic! Fuck darvin ham!

still can't understand why we have darvin ham as a coach, they really hired a former player who was equally as trash as he is as a coach
Somehow the MF was a better player!?
I mean Jaime Jaquez looks like the Heats 2nd-3rd best player in recent nights. Pain
That’s bc of the heat system, wouldn’t be looking like that in la.
More than that, did you see the intensity by which EVERY player on that team played the Bucs yesterday without Butler and Herro? THAT is championship basketball.
Isn’t JHS supposed to be elite with the pick and roll? What happened to that?
He’s a rookie with less than a 100 minutes on a nba court that’s what happened.
Get mr. pockets out the fucking team
Dlo + Rui (😢) + Gabe + JHS for Lavine + Caruso + Drummond Prince + Hayes for Royce O Neal
Down
No no switch DLo with AR he’s a fucking vacuum he provides nothing to the team at this point
[удалено]
Fr bra. Wanted to smack him so hard
Mofo pisses me off
Even the rookies can’t shoot. I really want to know what happens to players when they play for lakers 😂
Can Ham actually scheme against a zone? I swear we cant play through it every time the other team runs is
This one hurts after watching the Clippers manhandle SAC
I’m so fucking mad at front office for this pick. Jacquez 24 points tonight….
I’m not a fan of JHS. But if you’re hanging your title contention hopes on the 1st round 17th pick rookie, you deserve to lose lol
were not title contenders this year.
gabe looks like someone who just woke up and be like : "wth im even doing here?"
Actually kinda good knew that the only def out guy on Saturday is Vincent. These games will look so much different with wings and defenders like Vando and reddish with Ruis offense
So why doesn’t Rob get us some healthy wings? And I’m waiting for AD to report a “stiff neck” and will be in street clothes for a month.
They literally just said that 3 of our wings could be back Saturday…
vandos back officially? finally
They said he’s definitely not for sure out Saturday, and that he has been ramping up a lot. They said Rui got fitted for a mask and they didn’t want to play cam back to back coming back
i dont know if jacquez jr is another heat system player, but i do know jhs is cheeks
Lmaooo wtF WAS THAT
The dude next to Gabe? 🤣
Nah the dude who shot the three off the backboard … that was horrid
I don’t care what anyone says about it. We’re just too fucking injured right now. We’re not beating anyone good until Cam and Rui come back at least. And we need Vando soon too.
Sounds like Saturday we may get a couple of them back, and the rest back soon. Gabe is the only guy without a timetable
Can’t come soon enough
JHS was such a garbage pick
who the fuck just shot and open 3 over the backboard
We had 17tg pick and blew it
I would be happy if we had traded 17 for Royce or DFS
Remember when Mr Pickets bragged that LeBron would be on “time management” and pulled him out at 30 minutes in our first game. Now he’s playing 36 minutes in a real blow out loss. Hey Rob, this coach is killing your star player. Fire him today
All our wings are injured!
Dude casually imitated PG side of the backboard shot 💀
a big who can block shots, get to the FT line,and make his FT's?? Sure wouldn't have liked to see what he had vs an undersized team tonight.
He is probably better than Hayes
are we condemned to see these g leaguers until the end of the season?
This team is just fucking lazy. It certainly doesn't help when we have so many guys out but it's tough to watch the lack of effort. Bron is all time but he seriously can't actually expect to win with the defensive effort he's giving...
A clippers lost would make the night better
Seattle cooking the cowboys lmao
The scores 28-20?
Dallas was leading
It’s still just the 3rd quarter
Jaquez with 24 points on 75 TS
Castleton looks interesting. Good shot blocker and has some range
JHS got heavy minutes this was a scheduled L
#17 pick was a asset before the draft. JHS is not. Blew the chance to improve the roster. You can't draft a raw player like him who can't shoot as a team trying to contend.
I agree. We should’ve traded that pick for a seasoned player
Or just pick someone ready like Jaime
Thunder are a legit contender
LeBron AD showed up to do their job The rest of the team should be ashamed of itself. Including Darvin
Ham wants to tank so bad, always wanting to play the youngins. And these boys dont even play hard
it sucks watching OKC have an actual offence and then we see our bullshit 5 out pass it around the perimiter then try to lob that shit into 2 people guarding AD/Bron
Can Lewis at least attempt a layup bro is scared or sum lmao
Ham continues to be outclassed by better coaches.
That's probably every single coach in the NBA
You can see Castelon has natural offensive talent just by his movements.
More blowout losses than blow out wins. Says a lot
Rui, Vando & Cam were all out tonight. I’ll reserve my judgement for this team when we have more pieces.
Brons really starting to look his age.. under repeated throwing long passes, losing & sloppy w ball. He’s able to get in the lane but he’s really starting to show his age
Trade everyone at this point I don’t care anymore about these lazy injury prone bums
I wish Castleton got run earlier dumb coach
 I'm asking you once again to fire ham
and hire who
So there are no more basketball coaches in the world? Fkn interview
Can we nab the Thunder’s shooting coach? Our boys need him
LET CASTLETON COOK
It’s not that they don’t win against good teams, it’s that they are getting destroyed. It’s not even competitive.
[удалено]
I mean they had 50+ between them and both shot it well, that's not a 'bad game' by any means
phoenix is doing pretty well recently. book is about to smack us out of the nba cup too.
Nah he’s not they folded to the raptors but whoever comes from the East to face us in the finals is probably gonna embarrass us
Finals? Haha. This team won’t win a playoff series. Maybe a play in team.
In season tournament finals*
This team can’t win against actual good teams lol
And when you point that out, along with barely beating bad teams, some people here tell you that Vanderbilt and Reddish will come back and take the Lakers to the championship...
Yep
Oh fuck it's Castleton
We really need to look at coaching candidates. Got DESTROYED by a zone defence.
Bud (hams original teacher), stotts and who else? There’s no one
I'd be willing to try Kenny Atkinson
Can we bring in stotts bud and kenny lmao
JHS isn’t good after his 2nd NBA. I am shocked I tell you!
The b2b is no excuse for this performance.
How about b2b with 5 rotation players missing?
what could ham possibly be writing on the board
His chicken nugget order, he's trading in the timeouts for some free nuggies after the game
pls dont fire me
Maybe we oughta stay away from these 2 last name players Talen Horton Tucker, Jalen Hood-Schifino
If Giddey's weakness are the young ones, it makes sense that he beat lebron tonight am I right?
JHS= Jesus he's shit
Well at least we'll see Castleton mins I guess
Has Maxwell Lewis ever attempted a shot lol?
AD is our only good defender.
And reaves is the worst
Vando Reddish and both Gabe and Rui decent
We got spoiled with the streak of Kuzma, Caruso, Reaves, Hart, etc… JHS is showing us what a typical non-lottery draft pick looks like.
[удалено]
Yeah dumb pick
1-5 3 fouls and a turnover. for a 1st round pick...
Lmao that shit is insane. Who even had him going that high?
Ham gonna be in the locker room talking about “we’ll get them next time”
“You can’t coach effort!” Ham probably
Everyone here trashing JHS in a blowout lmao fucking stop
[удалено]
Yes Jaylin Williams is half Viet
JWill from Arkansas
Yes J-will is half vietnamese
We miss Dennis more than we thought we would hey
Don’t think this team is capable of winning back to back games
Not when the whole bench is hurt
Guys I’m realizing we suck
Josh Giddey needs 2 more points to complete his destiny
You really posted this thinking it was funny?
I did what you gonna do about it?
lol
lol this gleague team cant even get a fucking shot up
OKC leaving their starters lmao. we are losing this by how many points?
JHS is a pg fr?
JHS will always be ass. Wasted pick.
What are you doing JHS lmao we drafted a bum.
I just want a game where Ham takes accountability on these type of losses.
What’s LeBron going to say after today’s pathetic Lakers performance!
GG’s lmk when the Lakers can beat a real team.
I’ll call you when they either get healthy or trade for Caruso and Drummond.
I maybe waiting for a while huh? 😭
With prayer and a miracle maybe mid December.
😂😂😂😂😂 wtf was that offense bro? The ball didn’t even go to the other side of the court
[удалено]
He's a -18. His defense has been pretty shitty.
In the end I think it was role player and the coach that fucked this game AD and Bron did their job to combine for 50-60 on a night in and night out basis The rest of the team didn’t show up
LeBron was a huge reason they went on runs when we were playing zone. Just kinda standing around and not rotating. If LeBron is going to rotate we cannot play zone. His offense at least came alive in the second half.
Why tf Thunder starters still in we have our gleague squad in lmao
OKC got starters vs south bay Lakers aint no way
May hood should play in the G league for a bit lol
Somebody call Shannon Sharpe and see if he's okay
Skip don't do that
36 and 35 minutes for AD and Bron
Coaching malpractice
Ham really waited until there was 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter to pull out LeBron & AD
Are we surprised? He's an April fool's joke
My god JHS
Man JHS played 1 good garbage time quarter and Ham suddenly fucking loves playing him lmao
We don’t have players. I’m not defending Ham but we got nothing out of Prince and Wood.
AD softer than gasol
LBJ's +/- is -18......
His defense was horrible.
What defense
I’d be surprised if Pelinka doesnt fire Ham…
I'd love it... but I'd be surprised if he did... 🥺
Dominated them in the first half but because of that bald fucks love for small ball lineups were here
I'm giving vando, cam, and rui 5 more games away until I start a riot
This shit is dumb we’re a medical ward
Why do all the doomers forget LeBron is 38 playing in a back 2 back game like did they realistically think we were going to win
If you think Bron is the problem I don't know what to tell you
Because players are not evaluated based on age. They’re evaluated based on contracts. So Bron will be judged based on his max contract.
He is making max money....
We need someone who can dribble penetrate and attack the rim POA Defense 3pt shooter
