Let’s go thank you #Jesus he gonna give us that boost exactly what we need
Let’s go #LakeShow
I trust Wood, cant say the same thing about ham
Ham will probably give him minimum minute's
Cant wait for him to come back and have no impact. Ham and Pelinka have their jobs hanging by a thread now
Ham will not utilize Wood(Pause)
He’ll be ready to check in for garbage time when we’re getting blown tf out
Sooooooo tired of the blame going full throttle on Ham and giving a full pass to AR. What’s going on. Get balanced. So what you had to play defense. Everyone on the court has to play defense. You’re not the third best player on the team getting cooked on defense by all the top guards in the western conference. Stealing a bad pass here and there is not good defense. Knocking down shots on the offensive end isn’t playing good defense. Getting an and 1 yard n the final minutes of a close game is not playing good defense. Defense and not rebounding is why the lakers lost. If AR is the third best player on the team and they lost because of defense and rebounding he needs to get better in those two areas or lakers nation needs to stop calling him the third best player on the team. … feel free to post all the counter points about couching, front office, etc but the AR and the others needs to step up or this season is over.
It means NOTHING when Jaxson Hayes only played 4 minutes last night 😠😠😠 I’m TRULY at my boiling point with Coach Ham now……. Especially if we get swept again. We’re treating the Nuggets like they’re MJ and the Chicago Bulls or something 😠
Hayes got into foul trouble so hopefully he’ll be playable
Main problem is coach…fired coach..bad coaching…small ball line up.
cwood is super slow
Why are yall not talking about Ham’s lack of adjustments. Vincent guarded Murray pretty good but only played 7 minutes. Hayes only played 4. Both of those guys are energy glue guys who didn’t see many minutes. We need bodies to throw at Jokic but Ham refuses to make adjustments on the fly
delusion of grandeur
Still know chance
🤔🤷♂️
He trash tho!!!!
Not a big deal
Wake me when we get Dwight back.
Why you happy about Christian Woods, he is 6'10 big body that's wants to guard the one while doing AI crossovers, love my guy but he does not play D at all, at least AR 15 gets shot everytime he tries to guard but if you notice, he keeps moving his feet
Hayes got four fucking minutes…..
What difference does it make. It hardly matters whether a blind eye is open or shut.
How is wood back before Vanderbilt
Is VANDO returning this series. He is my real interesting piece needed for the puzzle… and D lo playing less than 20, more minutes for Spencer
Nuggets win game 2, Lakers win the series in 6.
People who know Ball know that Wood can help this team with energy and scoring cause the supporting cast aint cutting it they missing someone who can actually score when it matters most
This won’t help
He’s back to do what??
Pogo Stick AD was out of breath at the end of the game. Jokic just worn him out. That's the same matchup problem they had last year. The Lakers lose this series all because Rob Pelinka refused to get a real center to help AD. This isn't AD or DLO's fault they lost Game 1. Pelinka built a wrong roster.
AD: "I don't want to play center."
Pelinka: "Me no English."
What is the management doing? They should have get the services of Dwight Howard by now for a cheap price. He proved that he can guard & limit the joker. If we can get swept again….HELLO MANAGEMENT!!!
Ham will play Rui under 20 min now… smh
NEED VANDO and CAM REDDISH BACK URGENTLY!!
Yay 😁
He is back!!!
Ham hold my beer 🍺
Plays Gabe Vincent for 30 minutes
Game 3? Wont matter if they lose on Monday and go down 0-2.
“Larry Bird isn't walking through that door.” – Celtics Coach Rick Pitino (March 2000)
Not Larry Bird, but Christian Wood will be walking through that door.
Wood hasn’t played in 2 months and now he’s going to just jump right into a playoff series vs the defending champs? Stop it. 😂
The problem with Ham is just reliance on 6 players only and not giving the other players more time to explore themselves
Absolutely love Christian Wood coming back! Unfortunately he’s not a guard . All Ham seems to appreciate are guards ! And of course AD and Bron ! 😂 Where the Lakers are going to lose this series is Denver just has a much better coaching staff ! I would’ve liked to have seen what the Lakers could’ve done with a better coach this season.! Oh well !
Hell yeah!!
Still could not believe Ham had Lebron on the bench when Jokic was out, instead of Davis being on the bench. That one move cost us the entire game. When Davis went off and you saw how tiny we were against them, it was a wrap. I just don't get how Ham is a coach and could not see the problem this was going to be. Idiotic move. No way we win this series with this coach
If wood contributes in any way I will be surprise, are we suppose to expect him to be in any decent game shape let alone post season game shape? I can only imagine he is going to be rusty, ala gabe vincent.
#comebackstrongerLA💜💛💪💪💪💪
not sure his physicality is at. if he can play 10mins of good basketball, i dont mind having him back. but this games are too risky to gamble
It don’t matter you’ll be cooked by Saturday
Someone needs to remind Wood what his ex gf did after draft night. Unlock that drive.
Doesn’t matter if ham is still the coach. He’s going to keep him on the bench anyway.
It won’t help. I just hope we don’t get swept. We got worst matchup for our team. F phoenix for beatin Minn on their last game.
Fire darvin
Need to put Hayes on Gordon
