LeBron, Lakers fall to Heat without Jimmy Butler: Darvin Ham on the hot seat? | NBA | UNDISPUTED

Lakers opened as 6 and 1 Half Point favorites for their home game last night against the Heat who were without Jimmy Butler without Caleb Martin and who of course lost Gabe Vincent from last year’s finals team to the Lakers and Max streus off last year’s finals team to

Cleveland yet the Lakers came out flat and unfocused without energy without intensity turned it over 10 times in the first quarter quickly fell behind by 10 did hold the heat to only 19 points in the third quarter but surrendered 38 points in the fourth and lost 110- 96 the Lakers followed LeBron’s lead

From the three-point line he was 0 for six they went four of 30 from three that’s 133% the Los Angels Lakers winners of the NBA’s first everever End season tournament have now lost eight of their last 10 to fall to 17 and 18 and 10th place in the west the final playin spot

But maybe the biggest surprise of the night was that LeBron James left without speaking to the media that’s a rarity for him he left Darvin ham and Anthony Davis and the rest of his teammates to try to answer all the what’s wrong with the Lakers questions and by the way

LeBron was a game worst minus 20 in plus minus so Kean you grew up in La as a Laker fan in your eyes what is the biggest problem with this team right here right now I just want to see your perspective and how it changes now from

When you talk Lakers to Cowboys that’s just me I’m just I’m just want to let no no I want to see it the same perspective going CH you to know what I’m looking talk they’re not very good right now that’s number one that’s let’s start there then when you talk

About what the issues are you mentioned four of 30 that that’s an issue we one of the if not the worst 3 point you’re 24th 24th out of 30 okay in the history of the NBA based on last night of the history of the Lakers for sure and when you look at

Defensively mhm we tend to not want to play defense all of a sudden once we got out of the tournament yeah I don’t necessarily know if they are listening to what’s being told to them and retaining that information age from the sideline yep uh you you look at the way

Anthony Davis again played well even though he was in the minus category he played well but he did um you know we turn the ball over a lot what do we have 21 turnovers 21 the Heats eight you you can’t win games that way you’re certainly not going to win

That way and then you know you never want to be a coach killer that’s not that’s not my intent that’s not who I am I like d with himam there’s there’s but they’re not responding to what he’s teaching them and trying to get them both off we went from one of the best

Defensive teams under Frank vogle to one of the worst I mean that’s just the reality of it you still rank 11th overall in defensive efficiency but I’m not seeing it from night to night it’s not night to night but I saw it against Indiana in the championship game of the

In seist yeah but you’re adding that inseason tournament to the rest of the season and it doesn’t count it does not count like that so you you’re trying to figure out okay what’s the next move here what’s what what are we going to do

Is it is it do we really need to go get a Zack LaVine is that really going to help us a guy who’s coming off an injury or do we need to just have a sit down with one another and have a real conversation and that’s why Lebron

Exited the building without speaking to the reporters because he is he had a bad night number one he didn’t feel like feeling questions about a bad night I’m sure but also you can’t expect a 39y old to come out every single night night and

Do this work even if he was 22 you can’t expect that others have got to step up around you for you to be able to get to the ultimate goal in prize we were able to win in the bubble because everybody stepped up bubble or not we were able to

Win the End season tournament because everybody stepped up but since then as you mentioned skip y you you you’ve lost 10 of you I mean eight of your last 10 eight of your last 10 that’s just wrong it’s not good all and now you sitting in

The 10 spot as I said to you yesterday you’ll be at 11 you’ll be at 12 you’ll be at 13 and those teams that are 13 will start passing you up and then you will be looking on the outside you know trying to figure out how to get in

You’ve been checking out New Orleans lately they they found themselves been been checking out the Oklahoma City Thunder they have come of age right before your very eyes my point is up above you all these teams that are getting better and better and better go ahead but they’re older team and and

They feel like they’re going to flick that switch and turn it on when they need to now ke I asked that in the beginning of all of this because it’s a lot of light the these these two Cowboys and Lakers lot similarities they have a

Team that you know they can win with but they don’t always play like they need to play wouldn’t you say that’s the reality tournament you we the biggest problem we can talk about three-point shooting in this season tournament they were number one in three-point shooting

So so so now how do you go from number one three shoot and drop all the way down 24 so you can do it but you’re not doing it I thought it was interesting what Anthony Davis said he said sometimes when we go bad on offense it

Makes our defense worse yeah I thought most coaches say let’s just play defense and offense to come so now you’re saying if I don’t get if I don’t hit this three-pointer I don’t want to go play defense why don’t I switch that and say I don’t get to shoot that three-pointer

Until I play defense this it’s it’s a flipping thought you know what I mean so some of it tells me is it is it how bad you wanted because do I need coach you’re you’re ready to get it on Coach I need coaches every time to get me going

Uh uh Lebron Lebron saying I want self-motivated play players I want people that are ready to go like I am and I’m a million years old ready to go that it it just that’s that’s not Talent this is this is want to this is want to

I point out more want to on the Lakers I think it’s the same thing with the Cowboys it’s not skill it’s will it’s about want to how badly do you want it or you sit down and say well okay he’ll win it for me he’ll win it if you can do

It why are you not always doing it why why why do I have to worry about when they’re going to play and when they don’t have to play or when they will play that that doesn’t make sense to me kind of all I look at coaches when adjustments need to be made

And they’re not being made I look at coaches when certain lineups are out on the floor and guys are still on the floor and not being pull that’s how I look at coach but defensive effort is effort that was that was a Jimmy but Jimmy Butler list team last night come

On you know what I mean I Miami Heat without Jimmy Butler and you still have that kind of that’s happened to us a couple times this year without we lost to was it Denver we lost to somebody that that basically had all subs I don’t

Know if it was Denver or who it was but they they basically had all subs so that’s happened a couple times I’m not shocked or surprised by that at all they’re not good right now they’re just not all right so the irony of this conversation is we have had many deep

Conversations about why didn’t Anthony Davis show up well he’s been showing up and and he actually showed way up last night because he winds up with 29 and 17 rebounds and and has six assists and five blocks well I I can’t ask much more from Anthony Davis right LeBron has been

Playing at a very high level but he did not last night he didn’t play good last night okay and just for the record just to be completely fair about this gave Vincent I told you from the start the reason I L this team going in was he was

Going to be a key member of this rotation because he can flat out shoot itless hasn’t been all season and he finally broke down and said I need knee surgery he went ahead and had a scope so he’s out for a while now ru’s out DLo

Has been out I know you get up and down on DLo and mostly down but but they missed him last night because he can score the basketball he’s got talent to him and when they struggle to score the basketball cuz it felt like an 80s game last night they they just couldn’t score

Well they missed these guys so they haven’t been whole they haven’t been healthy see I don’t know if they miss DLo cuz DLo been struggling here the last several games but listen he can just some nights he starts going when he’s hot he can go allar H but he hasn’t

Been hot in the 10 eight of of 10 losses he hadn’t been hot okay so these were damning quotes from Darin ham last night after the game he says that team in Miami played harder than us tonight they executed better than us tonight they were more physical than us tonight that

That’s exactly what I saw Miami came out and looked like a re live basketball team that didn’t have two of its best players and said okay watch this Duncan Robinson dun Duncan Robinson he looks like my high school algebra teacher he start hot but he hot hey and and he’s

Starting to play basketball where he’ll actually create off the dribble I didn’t think he had that in him he was actually playing point guard in the fourth quarter and he made three huge threes in the fourth quarter that kept stopping the Lakers stopping the lake no no no in

Their house he said I got you I got you and I got you again they even got help from Kevin Love which was Kevin Love he played big last night okay love by his 29th year in I know but he’s only 34 and he he looks like he’s 54 you know how

Close he is with LeBron hey well there you go okay now back to LeBron it it was very significant that LeBron left early and didn’t talk to the media because he always talks to the media he’s always great with the media but he decided I believe I got nothing good to say

Remember one time after they got blown out in Philadelphia he said something’s got to change I don’t blame but I don’t blame him skip I wouldn’t want to talk to the media after a poor shooting night and my team played the way they played we lose eight out of the last there’s

Nothing to talk about like what am I going to tell you yeah I I know you’re a reporter and I respect your job but there’s nothing I could give you I don’t have any answers you leave everybody you’re wake I that’s a message to everybody I don’t think it’s a mess I

Don’t think it’s something he has with the media I think it’s a message to the team of his FR that’s exactly hand team I’m getting frustrated with this now now let’s do better than this not just y hand but we all got to do better than this okay so

Kean you did bring up yesterday is Darin ham starting to slip onto the hot seat because it’s always the coach I mean you got all these players tell you Micha as much as want to protect the coach is going to come to that at some point at

Some point even though they’ve had big moments this year they won the inseason tournament they crushed Indiana Indiana has now beat Milwaukee four out of five times this they did it again to Milwaukee again last night halberton is Just he out plays Dame every game okay you guys

Took them apart on national TV in the End season tournament Cup finals right I saw it with my own two eyes and it was really good and I saw you on December 23rd go to Oklahoma City they are rolling right now they lost back toback

At Atlanta but but the point is you went into Oklahoma City and you took them apart because LeBron scored 40 and made all five of his threes well that’ll work I’ve seen it work I like Darin I still think he’s a very good coach but right

Now to your point they are tuning him out they are not what what he is saying is not registering with them they are not responding wait wait wait wait wait wait you’re saying now if you think they’re tuning out darling ham that that’s why Lebron walked off not listening to anybody that’s what’s

Happening I mean you can look at them and tell that that something’s not registering to them when whether it’s the timeouts whatever the case is he’s not apparently getting to them whatever it is plus on top of that whenever you they’re in the 10th spot that means they

In the last spot for the playing that’s what that means you’re not in the fourth spot you in the last spot for the play in so you’re going to have to go through all of what you went through last year to get into the playoffs to try to make

A run you you think Genie busting company signed up for this right no they did not see this why I love this and this why I make the comparison to the Cowboys because it is such a the lake is such a big brand and see you want to say

Dude y’all got on a Laker uniform why should the coach need to motivate you you understand what you’re playing what you know what I mean it’s not getting them to do what you’re asking them to do whether it’s on defensive sets whether it’s certain offensive sets all of a sudden Anthony

Davis got the message and he’s been clicking every since Lil Wayne put him on a trading block he did he been clicking right so he’s been clicking ever since he’s gotten motivated from what will Wayne said always about let me see how fast I can get you moving on

Defense defense you’re talking the technical side of it but it’s about desire let’s go play it let’s go play it I don’t care if you’re out of position let’s go hard out of position no matter what and I watch when I when I hear when I hear Anthony Davis say our offense is

Off and it affects our defense that’s telling you something right there defense no matter what I don’t care what you say what what position you put me in I can play hard on one side of the ball and that’s on defense and and that’s just a desire what I say when you four

30 I don’t need you shooting no more out there let’s figure out how to pound the ball down low I don’t need to be one of 16 or whatever it was in the first half I don’t need that that’s not what you’re looking for you’re looking for something

Different Austin Reeds knocked down the three and they had shot at least 11 of them before they hit the first one that is true so to me that’s coaching to be able to recognize and see wait a minute man I got my chart right here hold on

Man we don’t need you doing this C ready then you saying sit down next to me yeah sit down next to me until you can figure this out okay and and and let’s make sure we motivate the other guys to not do this but until they playing defense

On the other end where I can’t take them off the floor even if you’re missing those threes and you playing great defense on the other side I can’t take you off the floor that’s what I’m talking about right there and you’re not you’re getting either so Kean what’s so

Troubling about this team this year is you have seen so much good from this team but you have seen so much unacceptable from this team they went to Philly and lost by 44 yeah and last night was just flat out unacceptable two nights ago the Clippers toyed with the

Heat in that same build just toyed with them just just just frog see I can’t have that the Clippers over but you can’t have that though you can’t have people like skip B talking about the in our building toying with the team that just popped us popped you and now

All of a sudden you got the Clipper durs of the world they going to start running around beating their chess in LA but they eventually Clippers going to be like the Cowboys too though they going to fold in the end so I ain’t wor this time around do not going to happen this

Time around not with the Cowboys okay up next I can’t wait to talk about this I’m on fire for this it sure sounds like Aaron Rogers is trying to rile up the Bears so they will beat Jordan love and the Packers and knock them out of the playoffs that’s
