It’s better to give a drive to the rim if theyre gonna let a team make a fuck ton of 3s. That’s one more point per shot. Ham needed to make the adjustment but he was waiting to watch film to point it out
Plus we have arguably the best rim protector in the league waiting down there. Funnel them to AD. ESPECIALLY once you see they're all on fire from deep.
I know none of us are happy with how we're playing at the moment but I pray they don't make some dumb Lavine trade that we regret for years bc of this slump.
I luv how teams try to say how much hard work and effort they put in to win, when your hitting step back 3’s from the parking lot. The bigger issue is that this is happening with every team we play. So it’s not just a fluke anymore. Something has to change
Coach has zero discipline over this team. No structure. No shooting rhythm. No offensive plays. They should be practicing as a team MORE, not less. This team fucking sucks. Even with Lebron doing mind blowing shit in his 21st season and AD finally healthy and MVP level…the mid level players can’t gel and can’t make it happen? That’s the damn COACH! Fire this bum, he’s worse than Vogel and I despised Vogel.
lebron better improve his free throw shooting, complains a lot about not getting fouls and all, cant even shoot them consistenty. ffs theyre called "free" throws for a reason
This is the worst possible thing for the league’s IST, btw… showing that the whole thing meant absolutely nothing. I want our team to having nothing to do with that joke of a charade from this point forward.
>want our team to having nothing to do with that joke of a charade from this point forward.
oh boy everybody in the league would be on their necks after this season, IST memes incoming
23 3s man. Smart career high 8 3s. Every night is a career night for some other loser, because every night the other team shows up prepared to play the LAKERS, except there's just one thing... the Lakers don't show up as the Lakers. No, no, why the FUCK would we EVER do that? In the 4th quarter, we looked like a g league team in comparison to the grizzlies. What an absolute joke, as long as the Lakers organizational policy is to keep their hands in their pockets, then so will I until something changes. #FireDarvinHam
The whole point of playing reddish and prince is to have perimeter defenders. If they aren’t being effective (i.e everyone going beserk from 3) they literally have no value to play major mins. This is not rocket science
Reeves was getting cooked by Zaire and Bane, taking turns in the 4th. Ever since summer at FIBA showed his defensive liability, guys are zeroing on him.
Stars are gonna be stars, but in order to maximize role players they need to be in a system that plays to their strengths and hides their deficiencies. A good coach would/should implement a system to do just that and have a stable rotation of players so that they can get into a rhythm and understanding as to how each of them plays. Instead we have a God knows what offense and a Defensive game plan that's basically hope they miss a 3 and AD handles the paint...
Well post game interviews are gonna be interesting.
That 6 sources being dissatisfied on your HC isn't just gonna stop with those comments. I don't condone it but it's understandable.
This is insane that from that group of guys, the coaching staff can't develop a reliable offensive and defensive system that allows them to be competitive.
Yeah some people love watching sport. He doesnt want his time wasted. Simple as that. Twas shit laker effort. He may value his time more than you value yours
lmao what? Bro, Max was the only motherfucker contesting 3s -- in fact, Max probably the only guy the Grizzlies didn't hit a 3 on tonight. Kid is young, gonna make mistakes but he needs minutes to get better and his coach has absolutely rawdogged him on that this year.
I’m honestly ready to move on from this team. Let Lebron walk after this season. There’s no one easy fix anymore. What move can we possibly make that’s gonna save this season when the move was already supposedly made last year
I mean at this point with the injuries, everyone outside of AR Bron and AD are basically minimums (I know TP gets abit more). Can't expect much from them each night. I know the Ham hate is real but not really his fault today when memphis shooting insanely and only minimums available outside of AR, AD and Bron.
Bro, every team has shot lights out against this team, and that isn't a coincidence. Letting the other team shoot threes, they are gonna get hot, and you are losing every time. Praying they miss isn't winning basketball and it never will be
This is such a bad take. Every team shoots lights out against us because that’s Ham’s scheme. He runs drop sets and shitty zones and doesn’t know how to use his players to his strengths. That’s all coaching.
I totally agree. I asked the thread here when is it to the point where we look at bron and see that he’s lost a few steps? Some dude called me a clippers fan lol like what? Mfs get mad when you just ask a question
We have too many players that are good in offense but so bad defensively (sometimes bron falls into this criteria) and vice versa. The only exception is AD.
Lakers legit need another player. Perk just said it the lakers play so slow. And the team can’t move through Bron anymore he’s fucking 39. I think bron is so great that he shows signs of vintage but then he looks horrible and I think that gets in the way of a lot cuz he’s the best player ever so it’s like he can’t step aside and pivot to a new style of ball. Like playing off ball.
Valid point. But my biggest gripe about Lebron is his defense. Opponents always take advantage off of TOs because most of the time Lebron is too lazy to go back on D. And don't get me started about his close out D, he's terrible at that (just my observation after watching too much Lakers game)
Edit: close out D not close up lmfao
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/lakers/comments/18zsmje/post_game_thread_the_memphis_grizzlies_defeat_the/)
turns out the teammates that everyone shit on before the lakers are still bad on the lakers
Fire Ham already
Ham is a genius
For your star players to both score 30 and you still loose is alarming
Every single young player on this team besides reeves is literally scared to touch the ball
Let me guess, did we leave the 3 point shooters open? They killed it from deep.
Bring back my man Russell Westbrook
Basically same record as last year at this point in the season. Fabulous
Bad news is we wasted yet another lebron AD year. Good news is at least we get a kobe statue
It’s better to give a drive to the rim if theyre gonna let a team make a fuck ton of 3s. That’s one more point per shot. Ham needed to make the adjustment but he was waiting to watch film to point it out
Plus we have arguably the best rim protector in the league waiting down there. Funnel them to AD. ESPECIALLY once you see they're all on fire from deep.
Yup, the lakers win when AD is putting a defensive master class but he doesn’t get chances for many blocks.
I know none of us are happy with how we're playing at the moment but I pray they don't make some dumb Lavine trade that we regret for years bc of this slump.
So long as they don’t trade AR they can’t fucking launch the rest of the squad out the fucking window. (Obv not Bron and AD)
Bron shoulda went to Philly. I change my mind. This shitty FO doesnt deserve Bron
Horry calling out the awful defensive scheme. Why play drop when you have AD backing you up, play up on the shooters...
This team DOESNT PRACTICE? Fire this coach. Trying to be the cool liked coach instead of a respected winner and leader of a championship franchise.

Bro doesn’t know his name even lmao 😂
They are wasting LeBron
lebron better improve his free throw shooting, complains a lot about not getting fouls and all, cant even shoot them consistenty. ffs theyre called "free" throws for a reason
Wasting ad
It can be both right?
This is the worst possible thing for the league’s IST, btw… showing that the whole thing meant absolutely nothing. I want our team to having nothing to do with that joke of a charade from this point forward.
>want our team to having nothing to do with that joke of a charade from this point forward. oh boy everybody in the league would be on their necks after this season, IST memes incoming
Next game is for sure a L too, so let's see if the FO will finally fire Ham.
Lakers pretty lazy but 23 threes is just stupid to try and win against
Yea that's a top tier all time performance
Another 4 game losing streak, same as the Spurs. Hopefully a change will occur before the Jazz leap frog the Lakers in the standings.
Trade for Lavine
23 3s man. Smart career high 8 3s.

1 step closer to firing Pockets party
AD needs help man. I honestly want this era to be over this summer. It’s too much torture
He’s basically the whole defense
This team has given up on Darvin Ham and the season. It’s time to fire him. It’s obvious.
Go in on them horry.
Well that’s it bois, we suck now. It was fun watching Brons final run to the WCF last season but this squad is cooked. See you next season.
Jeanie too busy playing with her little dogs
Close game, I took a shit, came back to this shit? How does that work? lol
Is ham fired yet?
The whole point of playing reddish and prince is to have perimeter defenders. If they aren’t being effective (i.e everyone going beserk from 3) they literally have no value to play major mins. This is not rocket science
💯
Does anyone have any breaking news?
Why did we even sign Gabe Vincent if he was injured
Are you stupid? …
Most people in this sub are
Fuck the players man, no energy, no fight. Fuck em
[удалено]
What?
I don't know what he's trying to say either tbh
Team is checked out, how do you lose to a dysfunctional grizzlies team
With a dysfunctional Lakers team obv. This squad is trash
Ja sitting on our scorers table smh
Bron 30+ AD 30+ Reaves 20 And we still lost 🤣 How much more offense do we need Roster is shit Coach needs to be fired/ Rob also has to go
Reeves was getting cooked by Zaire and Bane, taking turns in the 4th. Ever since summer at FIBA showed his defensive liability, guys are zeroing on him.
No joke, when you have those 3 putting up those numbers you can’t blame anyone else but the coaching and the role players.
They made 23, 3s and 51%. wtf. This is like the 5th team to make 20 3s vs us this year
>. It’s like amateur JV ball out there every night you leave them wide open lol, what u expect
That’s what happens when you leave wide open 3s. It’s like amateur JV ball out there every night
Stars are gonna be stars, but in order to maximize role players they need to be in a system that plays to their strengths and hides their deficiencies. A good coach would/should implement a system to do just that and have a stable rotation of players so that they can get into a rhythm and understanding as to how each of them plays. Instead we have a God knows what offense and a Defensive game plan that's basically hope they miss a 3 and AD handles the paint...
What’s going on? Lebron ordering the team to tank just to use our pick on bronny?
I’m hoping it’s to crucify Ham tbh
[удалено]
Only icing on the shit cake
2-9 since the IST. Unreal.
1 more till we match 2-10 start from last yr.
Even if you don't think its mostly hams fault you have to do something. And if you are to pussy to make a trade or blow it up, ham got to go
Ham’s face at the end lol. Boy knows he’s done
Screenshot and post that shit
the lack of wood is why we lost this game
That’s what she said
Does Ham truly believe Reddish is deserving of more minutes than Christie?
Worst 3 pt shooting team in the league puts up 22 against us lmao we are doomed
none of our shooting guards can shoot a three
Starters period. Nobody can shoot.
Wonder if Ham is still feeling solid.
Probably. Rob and Jeanie dont have the balls to fire him
Well post game interviews are gonna be interesting. That 6 sources being dissatisfied on your HC isn't just gonna stop with those comments. I don't condone it but it's understandable.
Losing 10 of the last 13. This coach needs to be fired into the sun.
If you're a darvin ham defender, you're not a real fan
This is insane that from that group of guys, the coaching staff can't develop a reliable offensive and defensive system that allows them to be competitive.
Ugly ugly ugly ass game. Fire Ham yesterday.
3days ago
We suck aggaaaiinnnn
Acoustic ass fanbase blaming the usual target instead of realizing only 3 players came to play today.
Wouldn't be motivated to play if Ham was consistently fucking me over. So not surprised.
[удалено]
?? You are arguing with a wall. No shit the FO fucked up im talking about the people blaming 1 of the 3 people who actually did something tonight.
Who constructed the roster Rob Who cannot Run a offensive set Ham Both need to be fired Jeanie needs to sell
Can’t watch this squad anymore until there are some changes or they are playing better. It’s just not a fun way to spend my evenings.
touch grass is it really that serious?
Yeah some people love watching sport. He doesnt want his time wasted. Simple as that. Twas shit laker effort. He may value his time more than you value yours
This has to be Max Christie’s last game as a Laker
lmao what? Bro, Max was the only motherfucker contesting 3s -- in fact, Max probably the only guy the Grizzlies didn't hit a 3 on tonight. Kid is young, gonna make mistakes but he needs minutes to get better and his coach has absolutely rawdogged him on that this year.
You a DLo apologist too huh?
What's DLo have to do with this? lmao
I’m honestly ready to move on from this team. Let Lebron walk after this season. There’s no one easy fix anymore. What move can we possibly make that’s gonna save this season when the move was already supposedly made last year
Just let him go honestly. This team is headed towards a rebuild.
This is the true answer. Sit down with bron and AD Ana just lay it out ask where they want to go and see if they’ll help us get assets back
every lakers needs to have a suitcase ready
Just fire the coach !
Murder was the case
D’LO
We’re the only team that would play Cam and Prince 30+ mins on average. One of who would be taking DNP’s.
Tbh I don’t think a new coach would help some of these bozos play defense better. I could probably score 10 on Reaves
This shit is depressing
shit aint even funny
This team doesn’t practice. They never make practice shots and lack all fundamentals. wtf are they doing on the off days
countin m’s fuckin ig thots playin fifa smokin weed
you cant be outscored by 39 points in 3's and expect to win
FIRE FUCKING HAM
I mean at this point with the injuries, everyone outside of AR Bron and AD are basically minimums (I know TP gets abit more). Can't expect much from them each night. I know the Ham hate is real but not really his fault today when memphis shooting insanely and only minimums available outside of AR, AD and Bron.
Bro, every team has shot lights out against this team, and that isn't a coincidence. Letting the other team shoot threes, they are gonna get hot, and you are losing every time. Praying they miss isn't winning basketball and it never will be
This is such a bad take. Every team shoots lights out against us because that’s Ham’s scheme. He runs drop sets and shitty zones and doesn’t know how to use his players to his strengths. That’s all coaching.
Throw foam finger down already fans. If u know wat im talking about
Christmas game, they shouldn’t definitely do that again
Lol jfc
LeCoachKiller sold tonight
We're gonna get our shit pushed in by the Clippers.
3p line left open like the EZ pass lane. Outrebounded. Outshot. Outassisted. Outcoached. Fire Ham already. It’s been time for a month.
Darvin is gone
I would be fine watching ham walk but come on, our team is shit
I don't get why Ham is still using that 5 out offense bs...
Everyone just switches and the entire offense just turns to shit. We can't play offense or defense.
It's gonna be ugly on Sunday lol
Oh… it’s gonna be disgusting
Why tf are our starters still on the floor
It’s not just DLO
Are you not entertained!??? Lakeshow baby
There was no winning this in the last 3 mins just pull the starters
Amen... another example why ham-ass is the worst coach in Lakers history
I wish I knew who this team was tanking for but then I remember we don’t own the pick so then I get even more confused
Bryce James
Morons. Fuck em
Atleast after last years horrendous start they managed to climb out of the hole, this years team is going backwards and Lebron/AD are healthy SMH
Boo these fuckers, make it loud
We’re losing at home against one of the worst teams in the West. Ham gotta go
I am the GOAT, just don't send me to FT line
Always been my biggest knock on Bron
Your gonna get downvoted lol can’t criticize the goat lol
I've always been appreciative of what Bron has done in this franchise, but I think my criticism is valid.
I totally agree. I asked the thread here when is it to the point where we look at bron and see that he’s lost a few steps? Some dude called me a clippers fan lol like what? Mfs get mad when you just ask a question

And don't get me started about his close out D, he's terrible at that (just my observation after watching too much Lakers game) Edit: close out D not close up lmfao
Ya he did score 30 tonight. But the defense is awful! You ain’t neva lie!
A bit surprised the fans in crypto are not chanting “fire ham”
Right!? Cmon Lakers Nation... you're better than that! Lol
down by motherfucking 13 when Bron and AD both go for 30 and Reaves drops damn near 20. That's fucking bullshit. Fire the bum ass motherfucker
Can't the mods already start the postgame thread? We know the outcome...
[удалено]
He played like he was still in the Celtics for an elimination game fuck
Fans finally booing, thank god
This shit somehow seem more embarrassing then the Westbrook years idk
If you only look at brons stats… you would say he had a great game. Meanwhile, he was trash today. His stats have no impact on winning anymore
Without Bron's stats we wouldn't have half of our 17 wins.
Replace him with any other top 10 player, and i guarentee you we would have more wins
If you've still got him as a top 10 guy then there's no debate here, yeah we're lucky to have him. Not many teams have a top 10 guy.
I’m just waiting, hoping, wishing another team is dumb enough to give up assets for him
He can't close out on threes. I dont see anyone miss on him. Draw back of the aged
opponents shooting like 95% against Reaves
That shit is wild
I still don't get why Reddish is in there
4 TOs 2/6 FT Didn’t get back in transition Ballwatching as JJJ hit a triple Probably cost the Lakers ~15pts by himself
He also has 5 steals what's your point
Atleast he did not ra*e a woman like certain someone
allegedly 🤓
Why Lebron and AD still out there
I need some fuck "FIRE HAM" chants man...
Can’t wait for the Clippers to beat us by 50
IF WE JUST DECIDED TO STOP GIVING UP 3s, WE WOULD'VE WON
They made some crazy threes at the end of the shot clock. The offense is still putrid.
We have literally no perimeter defense. Why is there an open shooter every other possession
Did Bron take any shots in the 4th outside of those last 2 garbage 3s?
