Lebron off the bench russ starts
I am 100% behind HAm, but this time around a lot of thing was on him. Lebron was playing zero defense, he might not be fully fit and should have been sat much more. They had a big front court and Davis has had to battle most of it alone. I thought the best we played when you had the likes of Reaves, Gabriel etc on the court.
LeBron 0-5 and 0 for his last 13 3s. Worst percentage in the league
Let's stop playing don't believe your lying eyes. The problem is this team is toooooo small!!! They had Beverley sticking that guy and they went on a run. It's easy to say we should do this, can do that, but not have the pieces. You know what beats a good defense? Good offense and all they did is shoot over them little a** dudes. And there's not enough defense to stop that fact when they also can shoot. Facts
I think Utah won this game more than lakers lost. Lakers had a good game, but Utah was better. Thought they made some tough shots
It's good to hear Darvin Ham didn't accept the loss as just another game. Ham says the right things, lets see how well the team responds in the next game.
Coach had to call them out. And to let a team of role players with a 1st year coach come in to score 130 in our house, says something.
I’m glad they won the two games, but now that you think about it… they blew a lead against the Nuggets (before building it back) and then blew a lead against the Pelicans (before Matt Friggin Ryan delivered).
Once they figure out how to keep the momentum going, they’ll be scary.
In the bubble we looked like Men playing amongst Boys… now we look like Boys against Men. LAKERS are TOO SMALL. Secondly it's a "make/miss league" and WE CANT SHOOT!!!
Meanwhile in Indy… Buddy 25/9rbs, Turner 16/7rbs/3blks [Beat the Heat]… CMON ROB!!!
We got to cut down on turnovers, and we need a shooter that is a 3-point sniper besides the ones that you have, let Russell Westbrook go a thousand miles per hour, but we need those three point snipers just don't know how we going to do it with the way things are structured right now
For those who are going to be on the trade block but he may can find a sale or to a good sale but I don't know I hope we can get something to help us
Ham Sounds Like Vogel 2.0. Talks about Defense but Makes No Adjustments…And Still Relies On Too Many 3 Pointers…Instead of Taking the Ball to the Hoop…All of The Jazz Big Men Feasted on them Downlow..🤦
Is it safe to say if your defense and offense is bad. That it's probably that your team sucks is the reason?? Or.. lol
Love how he ain't making excuses for poor play especially from lbj
LeBrons shot selection is terrible..to many 2-3 feet beyond the 3 line,
To many sloopy finishing moves at the basket, too many free throws missed. He’s still great but his age is showing…he should be taking more mid range shots.
Coach was pissed with the effort. I’m glad he called everyone out
Coach Ham is on point hopefully the team gets into his vision long season… GO LAKERS!!!
Ham continues to give Beverly big minutes and sits best 3 points shooter for big minutes?
Small ball vs 2 7 footers, did not work. Must play Damon Jones sometimes. Lol.
I think that’s a good coach who’s coming into his own this year.
can someone tell me why in the world they let Patrick Beverley keep playing? he gets 2 or 5 points after 20min. he's not playing defense he, not making points, he is just out there doing nothing. if this was Westbrook they would be talking all kinds of trash about him.
Lakers just need to be consistent
Well maybe put some bodies out there that can put bodies on the other teams BIG bodies. It's not like Bev & Jr. Where lighting up the scoreboard. Make adjustments as we go……my observation.
What about holding himself accountable? No way AD shoukd be forced to twi centers at oncecwith no help. I mean how at least try him with Jones or Gabriel on the court too
In my opinion, when the bench unit led by Westbrook cut the deficit to 96 to 94 they should have let that unit continue INSTEAD of subbing in LeBron James!!!!!💯🧠#FactsOverFeelings
He's absolutely right! You cannot lose to a team that basically traded away their entire starting 5 from last year in order to tank for a chance of getting the number one pick in the upcoming NBA draft.Coming into the game the Lakers had prided themselves on their defense which was ranked number 2 overall coming into the game even though they had a losing record.
Don't thk it was the players' fault as much as the Roster Constructor's fault. Olynyk, Markkanen, Kessler wuz doin "wutever the hell they wanted", and the tiny LAL had no answer. There's only 1 AD, and he can't guard all of them at the same time. LAL had trouble guarding any1 6'8" and above. LAL need 3s/4s who are skilled and have size. They got exposed and abused last nite
Thank you for uploading these post-game interviews
Love what Coach Ham has brought to this team (like getting them to play D and Russ coming off the bench). Glad he is also keeping the team accountable when they play bad.
No improvement from Vogel
Dynamite!! Blow it all up!! Die hard Lakers fan since 1988……This will be year 2 of expressing what needs to be happening. Big names with shit game on this team and I'd rather see a bunch of nobodies rise up organically than watch this garbage. These guys look confused on defense and it's been ugly to watch. From Pelinka on down to the bench warmers something has to change.
Excuses excuses. We are tired hearing all your perennial lies.
Not gonna Lakers have impressed me so far. They look like a different team. Chemistry takes time. When schroder come back they be better
Lakers is not a properly balanced team. They don't have either wing defenders or shooters.They depend so heavily on the inside play of LJ and AD and even one of them doesn't click, Lakers lose. Lakers with the present team can not make even the play in.
Has is a big mouth who can NOT coach!
He should be coaching for a high school.
