Did the host had surgery or botox or something?!?!?!
Kobe if he was alive would be really upset and mad about the lakers and he would tell Rob to do something about it
17-17 with Bron & AD healthy. That’s scary bad. If either Bron or AD goes down for a long stretch we done
Am I the only one who hasn’t been impressed with Austin at all so far? His role needs to be scaled back to a secondary scorer/ball handler. He is not THE problem but it seems like he is trying to do too much.
His handle is weak and he over dribbles a lot. Shot IQ has been poor and even when he scores, it looks forced and awkward. The pull up threes need to stop. His 3pt shooting overall is down, he’s missing to the left and right now, that is not good. Not saying it’s broken but he needs to calm down.
Defensively, he gets hunted and cooked every night.
I think we overestimated his ability to make a leap. For team USA this summer he was an off ball player and thrived. The lakers would be much better if he was giving us more/ if we were using him correctly
They will not get to where we expect them to be when the coach is sabotaging the team and not utilizing the players in their best roles. Players have come out and say that they don't know their role and we're already near the midway of the season.
Don't worry about Russel Westbrook, lakers fan. He's in a better place now.
Why don't we try to get buddy hield Bruce brown and a big from the pacers
I like darvin ham
They can't shoot or rebound.
Just make Lebron the player coach, he is better that Darvin.
Are they waiting for Jan.15 date to deal ⁉️ I hope 💯
Please STOP with the "IN SEASON TOURNAMENT" …. they beat two 6th place teams…. still havent beaten any real teams
Why is everyone ignoring the fact Reeves played for team USA over the summer and maybe that's the reason he doesn't have his legs under him. No maybe that's it.
Hams rotation is terrible !!!! Not enough mins for these to to improve and form a tight unit.
Needed a defensive big and a point of attack defensive guard to start the season and still do. I do think they should at least try to use Castleton to see if he can plug that hole before turning to a trade.
If they fire Darvon Ham there is no great choice to replace him. That is unless they can hire LeBron as a player coach. That I could get behind.
How about calling out lebron for playing no defence at all!!!! IDGAF about your age put some effort!!!
You guys are quick to castigate the coach. You didn't castigate him when he propelled the team to the western conference finals last year. You didn't castigate him when he directed the team to win the in-season tournament. In my opinion, the players have to be held accountable. They have grossly underperformed. The Lakers simply have to play similarly to the way they played enroute to winning the in-season tournament. This entails playing strong defence and scoring consistently from the paint, instead of shooting threes'.
Ham is the problem
How about we need to get rid of Lebron and rebuild with cheap high quality player and build around AD. Lebron doesnt make players better. They tend to degrade when they play. Lebron is basically paid to get garbage baskets assist and rebounds to help secure his bloated legacy. Basically, it is the same song every year. The role players are not good enough. What happened to Magic taking good players and help make them hall of famers or Laker legends. You guys never blame Lebron for him being old and incompatible with this roster.
It's LeBron he's the coach an the g m so why blame the D.Ham
Lakers need to stop chasing rings with Lebron. They need to realistically entertain trading Lebron. Get some young talent and let’s build something long lasting. These frantic make shift teams have the same tone every season. A .500 club that have been pretty consistent.
couldn’t agree more. when a guy like Dlo struggles, you gotta let him play through it and find his game. i’m tired of Darvin Ham. he’s an assistant coach at best . great motivator but terrible with game planning
Wtf are you saying the depth can’t produce with low minutes/dnp’s Rui hasn’t been getting minutes he deserves max Christie is the same come on man if they played and was bad ok but if they not getting minutes what you expect
This is not 🚫 Labron James tean he has enough money to fet a team he is older and don't want to sit down 👎 go home 🏡 bro
Wow relax we haven't thrown in the red flag..laker faithful and you know who you are..Positivity reigns as does the Lakeshow..must keep are heads up..🏀🏀🏀 I still have my popcorn 🍿 and 🔥..faith in numbers..#18 🏆🏆on the Horizon..oh yeah Ham does have to step it up..Agreed..
We need to cut some extra fat off..(players) if we can because we look horrible
Lakers traded all the good role players KCP, ALEX C, DENNIS S and Malik M. Why did we keep DLO vs Dennis? Dennis is so much better!!!
It's not Dobbin, Hamm's fault totally just a little bit. It's more who's picking the players you don't have no defense
We got as many coaches as playoff appearances since Bron came to LA… can't be all on the coach
Or may be it is just karma. Let’s be honest, lakers is LeBron and vice versa. When you disrespect the country that has given you everything, u get this. You blam D-LO, Vanderbilt, AD, Prince, now Ham. Everyone is to blame except for one disrespectful man. I love the guy as a player and I think he is the GOAT but no one address his flaws including this Lakers Nation show
Lakers have signed guy after guy and its always " the Lakers need to make a trades" 😂😂 Unless Kyrie, Dame or Donovan Mitchell is available…the Lakers making a trade aint gonna make them much better than they are now. We gonna watch Lavine come here only to stand around and spot up for Threes in the " Lebron James" offense like the rest of the team does? Lmao
I’m paying good money for a lakers game in February. They need to get there shit together
“When I beat those 7 teams who had a combined record of 55-75 to win the first In-Season Vegas Royal Rumble Championship, that one right there made me the greatest player of all-time.” – LeBron James
Picking up C wood as a back up and Hayes has also been a big problem. The number 1 think you need with AD is a center that can play starter minutes.
Make Lebron the head coach I’m serious
