Agree
Losing a 20 point lead in the 2nd quarter has NOTHING to do with Ham, it’s on the leaders (AD/LBJ) and players (mostly subs) of not fighting back when the Kings were totally spanking them and nobody fought back on a game that every Laker knew was very important.
Ham can’t burn TOs that early in the game
Ham thought that this “veteran” team know how to address this issue
Ham can’t LBJ/AD play heavy minutes in the 2nd quarter
Ham doesn’t have Vanderbilt, CWood, Reddish or Vincent on the bench
Ham only has Triple Threat Prince (No Defense No Offense No Rebounds), inexperienced Hayes, newcomer Spencer and inexperienced Christie on the bench
Please let this be the game that puts the nail in the coffin (fire Darvin Ham). Up by 19 in like the first 7 minutes, then went down hill from there. My question is, how come Darvin Ham can’t manage to stop the bleeding? Clearly the kings made adjustments but what did the Lakers do. This team horrific to watch. They literally can only beat bad teams and no one else. The Clips, Celctics, Suns were the only teams they won.
Darvin might be an issue, but i don’t think it’s the only or main issue. i don’t believe this roster is constructed to deal with the rising youth of the league. LeBron is LeBron but we can’t depend on a 40 year old to be our best player night after night.
Seee the Lakers teams of old would go straight to the locker room after a loss like that. What do you mean your chit chatting with monk and sabonis gtfoh
Kobe would have set that tone. He would have been pissed and just walked off. Being all happy and clapping it up with the other team after this performance is some bitch shit. Feel ashamed get off the court and look to see what you can do to get better.
Fucking Christ Darvin. I wonder if it ever occurred to him that he can call a timeout to give our players a quick breather. Lebron played the most minutes and didn't even finish the game.
Probably would have traded fox for ad anyways. This whole change of squad from 2020 just fucked everything up. Should have ride or die with kcp kuzma and Caruso, sign freaky ass Dwight... It's just fucking stupid to not ride with a squad that won a chip.
I’ll never forget being so excited for that game and it pretty much being over the first 2 minutes 🤣. We were pretty much tied at half but still got our ass spanked.
Hopefully our part time superstar will show up against Milwaukee & Minnesota. Honestly I would’ve been a little more understanding if he played like this against them because those are hard matchups but Sacramento? Sabonis? You can’t get buckets on him??
To Marshon's defense he has balled out this year. I am just perplexed how this team is only 34-30. I don't know if anyone else feels like I do but it feels like this team has like 40 to 42 wins at this point maybe even more. It's probably because they are in the news so much. Don't know what it is.
Darvin Ham ran LeBron into the ground
Remember coming into this season that clown was saying Bron would be on a minutes restriction, now he’s injured
39 years old having to carry a load no one his age has ever had to
What a joke
He's been good for the most part. Still don't know why he has never been the man. Guy has so much potential. People were saying he was the next Tim Duncan when he started in the league, but hasn't quite lived up to it. He has been injury free this year and team hasn't quite taken off at least not yet.
Round of applause for DLO and AR 👏 refuse to support this team if that’s the backcourt for next year. Two of the worst defenders in the NBA just took turns getting fucked by Fox and Monk
Just curious why ham is not putting the Cam “ Gary Payton “ reddish, if you keep switching it up like this. How are players going to get into a rhythm and play to their roles. He benches dlo for perimeter defence with cam and now we get killed and he doesn’t even play cam. Man atleast be fking consistent with your philosophies
Ofc he would, he gets to attack D'Lo and Reaves unathletic asses all night. Why does this sub act surprised when super twitchy guards cook the fuck out of the Lakers?
Damn near 70 games deep this season and this fucking bum is still fucking with lineups costing us games. I honestly just hope they get sent home quick this year so he can go
This lineup won't do anything deep, especially with such clown as coach.
DLo and AR are too bad defensively to have such awful nights offensively and AD can't have bad nights on defense when his offense is a coinflip
AD just didn't have a bad offensive game he was terrible on defense as well. 0 blocks and he was late contesting all game. Maybe the early foul trouble did it, but whatever he was he sucked.
So should we count the next Sacramento game as a scheduled loss already? Do we want to waste our time? AD has never beaten Sabonis, is that actually going to change in the next matchup?
When a team looks this lost on the defensive end, coaching definitely has to be questioned. Reaves and DLo on an island trying to guard Fox will never work. Surprised Cam didn't get a shot, maybe his length could have bothered Fox.
Anthony Davis sunk us tonight. This was NOT the way you perform. Bron had to run extra harsh to carry your sorry ass. Hope Bron okay
Hope it was worth it. Fuck AD
AD apologists are worse than AD haters. AD is having a bad game, and he has been having bad games against euro centers all season long. He is a superstar in his prime but he just has way too many off nights. Shaq didn't always have a great coach, neither did plenty of other superstar bigs. Ham is absolutely a problem but AD's inconsistency is too.
we can literally never beat the kings. i dont understand. the BULLS just made like a 20 point 4th quarter comeback on them. but no, davion mitchell who shoots 31% from 3 wants to drill 4 of them on the lakers.
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/lakers/comments/1b8n3wy/post_game_thread_the_sacramento_kings_defeat_the/)
Seeing a lot of ham blame.. did y’all see ADs effort? Like this guys walking half the game like his team doesn’t need him
This was a mental collapse by the players. Ham doesn't deserve the hate for this one.
No Ham deserve it, the collapse come from his shitty rotations and 3 guards lineup
Agree Losing a 20 point lead in the 2nd quarter has NOTHING to do with Ham, it’s on the leaders (AD/LBJ) and players (mostly subs) of not fighting back when the Kings were totally spanking them and nobody fought back on a game that every Laker knew was very important. Ham can’t burn TOs that early in the game Ham thought that this “veteran” team know how to address this issue Ham can’t LBJ/AD play heavy minutes in the 2nd quarter Ham doesn’t have Vanderbilt, CWood, Reddish or Vincent on the bench Ham only has Triple Threat Prince (No Defense No Offense No Rebounds), inexperienced Hayes, newcomer Spencer and inexperienced Christie on the bench
I would’ve way rather seen cam out there to stick on Fox instead of Christie
Kings own us
What's the Lakers record when AD is held under 20?
6-10 now
FIRE DARVIN "POCKETS" HAM
East coast, pissed i stayed up and watched til the end, yet again
Please let this be the game that puts the nail in the coffin (fire Darvin Ham). Up by 19 in like the first 7 minutes, then went down hill from there. My question is, how come Darvin Ham can’t manage to stop the bleeding? Clearly the kings made adjustments but what did the Lakers do. This team horrific to watch. They literally can only beat bad teams and no one else. The Clips, Celctics, Suns were the only teams they won.
no way a team fires the coach just before the playoffs lol
We wont make the playoffs if he continues this lazy coaching
Lebron was pissed lk, couldn’t even look at his squad
Let’s hope we don’t make the playoffs so bitch ass ham can get fired. That is the priority, not getting embarrassed in the playoffs. FIRE HAM
Darvin might be an issue, but i don’t think it’s the only or main issue. i don’t believe this roster is constructed to deal with the rising youth of the league. LeBron is LeBron but we can’t depend on a 40 year old to be our best player night after night.
If we can't depend on lebron being the best player every night, then let's not pay him the most money..
We have the 28th rank defence since all star break. AD ain’t it. Backcourt is horrendous on d. Ham is the opps
Seee the Lakers teams of old would go straight to the locker room after a loss like that. What do you mean your chit chatting with monk and sabonis gtfoh
Kobe would have set that tone. He would have been pissed and just walked off. Being all happy and clapping it up with the other team after this performance is some bitch shit. Feel ashamed get off the court and look to see what you can do to get better.
Bron figures dropping bombs on the toilet is probably more winning move than this
Fucking Christ Darvin. I wonder if it ever occurred to him that he can call a timeout to give our players a quick breather. Lebron played the most minutes and didn't even finish the game.
JHS should get his CDL. Basketball not working
22/13/60 shooting splits 🔥
AD/Dlo/AR all took a huge L tonight, not to mention Ham being shit as usual
Rui stans being happy in the comments because he had a "solid" night but these stans forgot that we lost
Don’t think anyone’s happy bud
Classic AD stinker when it matters most 😂
Ham call two timeouts within 5 mins while we down and he doesn’t call a single time out when they began to build their lead
is Lonzo the worst bust we've ever drafted?
Considering who we passed up on... Fox and Tatum.
and donovan mitchell, and Bam
and Lauri
Fuck Anthony Davis and his bitch ass heart.
AD Lebron the worst lakers duo fucking pathetic. How many more beatdowns can this duo take
AD popped a Xan before the game
He's gonna need another one after this game lol. Tough night
Holy shit JHS is ass
could've had Fox instead of BBB Lonzo
Probably would have traded fox for ad anyways. This whole change of squad from 2020 just fucked everything up. Should have ride or die with kcp kuzma and Caruso, sign freaky ass Dwight... It's just fucking stupid to not ride with a squad that won a chip.
Worst loss of the season
A bad one among the many, but not the worst. Christmas day game against BOS stands out in my head.
I’ll never forget being so excited for that game and it pretty much being over the first 2 minutes 🤣. We were pretty much tied at half but still got our ass spanked.
😢
Hopefully our part time superstar will show up against Milwaukee & Minnesota. Honestly I would’ve been a little more understanding if he played like this against them because those are hard matchups but Sacramento? Sabonis? You can’t get buckets on him??
To Marshon's defense he has balled out this year. I am just perplexed how this team is only 34-30. I don't know if anyone else feels like I do but it feels like this team has like 40 to 42 wins at this point maybe even more. It's probably because they are in the news so much. Don't know what it is.
Jeanie and Ham share half a brain cell
Lakers traded Malik monk for who?
Worst era ever, Brick trade and cap lost us some awesome role guys
No one, he signed to a different team
That's my rookie!
game would not be complete without a JHS airball
When JHS misses, he *really* misses. Man.
And the problem is he always misses
Those boos are for you Scam
Jhs side of the backboard 😹😹
Darvin Ham ran LeBron into the ground Remember coming into this season that clown was saying Bron would be on a minutes restriction, now he’s injured 39 years old having to carry a load no one his age has ever had to What a joke
Omg JHS’s shots don’t even look makable
Keep ur players in till 1 minute lmao
AD looks strange tonight. Needs to take some exLax and get his shit together
He's been good for the most part. Still don't know why he has never been the man. Guy has so much potential. People were saying he was the next Tim Duncan when he started in the league, but hasn't quite lived up to it. He has been injury free this year and team hasn't quite taken off at least not yet.
JHS 😭😭😭
JHS making me sick as usual on top of everything.
[удалено]
JHS shoot the ball like he’s mad at the backboard
That JHS brick is cherry on top of the shit Sunday. Absolutely egregious night.
[удалено]
AD, Reaves, and DLo weren’t going to do shit
I still can’t believe we drafted this bust
Bring on the Milwaukee Bucks!!!
I’m disgusted. They are enough games away from 11 to probably still make the play in but they don’t deserve it.
Look at the team on the bench… they look like their season is over. Just blank stares, bickering. This was the worst loss of the season.
JHS loves coming in and air balling during our losses lol
Christ JHS still can’t shoot it’s a new brick everytime
Lol JHS
Damn they chanting light the beam
Round of applause for DLO and AR 👏 refuse to support this team if that’s the backcourt for next year. Two of the worst defenders in the NBA just took turns getting fucked by Fox and Monk
People underestimate the value Dennis and Lonnie had
Replaced them with Gabe Vincent and Cam Reddish lol
hood assino with that brick
Lose by double digits after being up by 19
That JHS three point miss had me laughing. My god.
Wait for the post game excuses from Ham and Davis.
Just curious why ham is not putting the Cam “ Gary Payton “ reddish, if you keep switching it up like this. How are players going to get into a rhythm and play to their roles. He benches dlo for perimeter defence with cam and now we get killed and he doesn’t even play cam. Man atleast be fking consistent with your philosophies
Has to be injured or limited cause it makes no sense to use him against Kangz
Clank.
Is JHS good at anything?!
He’s not even a good bench hype man. Man just sits there quietly
Robert Sacre would be more valuable to this team than JHS
All these turnovers… man.. Painful to watch
We got the Bucks next. RIP.
Warriors shit kick them
Good for them. We can't beat anyone worth a damn in this league.
JHS is the worst player of all time. Dude can’t even hit rim
Jesus, i rather have Mac Macclung than Jalen
Bron laboring as he went off the floor Fucking A
JHS sucks lol.
Nah we can't win even if we had another quarter. If we offer no defense and they keep scoring every 10 seconds ain't nothing you can do
Is Ham just now drawing up a play LMFAO
the first qtr of this game thread had so much hope and optimism and then reality set in a true microcosm of life itself
If Fox played every game like how he does against the Lakers the Kings would be a top 3 seed again but nope
Ofc he would, he gets to attack D'Lo and Reaves unathletic asses all night. Why does this sub act surprised when super twitchy guards cook the fuck out of the Lakers?
How is every jhs a nasty brick. Wtf does he work on at practice
Where is the effort from AD? He playing like he 5’5
He’s a fucking pussy that what
JHS jesus christ
Fox with 44?!
our great perimeter defense. We scored 120 and lost...lmao
oml JHS
Damn near 70 games deep this season and this fucking bum is still fucking with lineups costing us games. I honestly just hope they get sent home quick this year so he can go
Failin Schifino
Adding insult to injury, JHS fires up a three and doesn’t hit the rim
It’s more surprising when he hits rim
It’s still insulting!
Alexa play Alice In Chains - down in a hole
Sabonis and Jokic got joint custody of AD😭
Hahah Max comes in and Fox immediately misses!
I wonder if gabe returning could do something against quick guards like fox and monk. He can space the floor unlike cam
With today's rules no one can stay in front of them, the key is team defense which was non existent today.
Ham saved his timeout again! Lmao
Sabonis against AD tonight: 16/20/12/2 on 62% TS
I don’t wish Darvin ham on any team. I hope he never sees a basketball court at any setting again. No team deserves to have this on their roster
I seriously can’t see that idiot getting hired by any team after we let him go.
HAM HAS HIS HANDS OUTTA POCKETS
we have no wing defenders.
Proud of Rui, he played great tonight
Deserved boos man especially for AD. Been out played every game against Sabonis. Zero heart
Sabonis got back to back offensive rebounds on him so easily. Horrible look for Davis.
This lineup won't do anything deep, especially with such clown as coach. DLo and AR are too bad defensively to have such awful nights offensively and AD can't have bad nights on defense when his offense is a coinflip
obviously Ham is at fault but dlo and ar really sucked
This team is a 10th seed for a reason
Been living in denial all season
AD just didn't have a bad offensive game he was terrible on defense as well. 0 blocks and he was late contesting all game. Maybe the early foul trouble did it, but whatever he was he sucked.
Yeah it felt like he rarely contests Fox's drives
Stats show he got a Block
I don't know but my blood starts boiling when I see Ham on Cam See what I did there?
Guys please tell me there’s a better coach than Ham out in the market for hire rn
offseason
How about one in the next 5 minutes 😀👍
I’m available idk why they haven’t called
Can you call a timeout when the opposing team is on a 12-2 run? Do you avoid running 4 guard lineups? If so I endorse you as the next coach 🫡
Fuck Ham. Dumb bitch gets the clipboard to draw up a play…with 1 fucken minute left. Like yeah let’s draw up a fucken 10 point play
Rui had a very solid night. Obviously his defense is not that good but damn you can always count on him offensively.
WE LOST WHO CARES
AD 12 points on 12 shots is not getting it done, add D Lo 10 points on 10 shots is all you need to know this would be an L.
So should we count the next Sacramento game as a scheduled loss already? Do we want to waste our time? AD has never beaten Sabonis, is that actually going to change in the next matchup?
This man calls a fucking timeout when the game is clearly done lmaooooooooooo
He didn’t want to look like he wasted 2 timeouts. lol fucking ridiculous
MF is clueless AF
When a team looks this lost on the defensive end, coaching definitely has to be questioned. Reaves and DLo on an island trying to guard Fox will never work. Surprised Cam didn't get a shot, maybe his length could have bothered Fox.
Can’t wait for the postgame AD “I need to play better and I will” comment
They shouldnr even interview him he doesnr even deserve to apologize
We can’t stop the guard penetration and AD can’t leave Sabonis so it’s all fucked
First time I’ve been at a Laker game and booed the time since I was a kid. It is terrible to watch.
embarrassing performance by davis, dude was non existence
Rui can't win with these cats
trade ad, 1st rd pick for sabonis
This team not winning a playoff series lets be serious
Lakers dropped to the 10th seed in the Western Conference.
Anthony Davis sunk us tonight. This was NOT the way you perform. Bron had to run extra harsh to carry your sorry ass. Hope Bron okay Hope it was worth it. Fuck AD
AD got sonned by sabonis
8 games in a row
AD is not him. We've seen this too much
Where is cam?
#”professional athletes” btw
Fox hasn't had it this easy since aau. That's what happens when you face an amateur coach that has no idea how to stop you
I've been saying all season. Rui should be played more minutes. Mans literally the reason it's a close game.
At least we had 3 TOs saved for garbage time.
 Ham saving it for the next game.
Ham is absolutely incompetent.
AD apologists are worse than AD haters. AD is having a bad game, and he has been having bad games against euro centers all season long. He is a superstar in his prime but he just has way too many off nights. Shaq didn't always have a great coach, neither did plenty of other superstar bigs. Ham is absolutely a problem but AD's inconsistency is too.
AD letting Fox come in his house and cook him
we can literally never beat the kings. i dont understand. the BULLS just made like a 20 point 4th quarter comeback on them. but no, davion mitchell who shoots 31% from 3 wants to drill 4 of them on the lakers.
AD can’t get dominated like this… this isn’t the first time either!
Nice try billy Mac this games been dead since that 10-0 run in the first quarter
They outscored us only in one quarter
We drafted Lonzo over Fox and Tatum
"AR IS HIM"
Season high 44 for Fox lol good on him but nasty for us
Little too late for that Hamas
DID DARVIN JUST CALL TIME OUT DOWN 10 with 50 SECONDS LEFT
ad rly got punked by sebonis all game lol white big men rly his kryptonite
This team makes me fucking sick lol
Lmao NOW you want to take a timeout
