Darvin Ham got Spencer Dinwiddie , Tauren Prince , and Gabe Vincent playing at the same time Spencer Dinwiddie and Gabe Vincent have combined for 0 points, 4 assists, and 3 turnovers in 2 games against the Nuggets. Max Christie deserves an opportunity.

D Ham never talks Xs and Os

Fire Pelinka and Hamburger

Let's go Lakers purple and gold I'm still with you Lakers forever

Jeannie Buss to blame....she is in charge of the shit show

Fire Ham and Pelinka!✌It took Ham 2 mths to Figure Out He Should Start His Best 5 Players✌🏀✌

He said what!? Ham sh*+ the bed every game as coach

Mr Let other teams go on 14-2 runs and never call time out

Rui wasn’t a starter in the beginning of the season, and he was hurt. It cannot be him

No way he's talking about Rui. He started off the season with a concussion and a broken nose...

Darvin’s love for three guard lineups was the worst idea he loved running. I mean, doing that shit with Giannis in the East is one thing but not in the west where it’s a tough.

Lebron blamed injuries, no problem..Ham says the same thing and it's a problem. I see.

This is why Laker fans are tired of this guy. ZERO accountability. Bye Felicia

No, it was Reaves. Game 7, AR was an assist shy of a triple double. AD got hurt in that game and also missed the next game. The Lakers got blown out and Reaves went to the second unit. Go back and watch some of the post game interviews early in the season. Ham would get asked a question about Reaves and get annoyed. Early in the year Reaves got resentment from Ham and some of the players. USA BB hero. On TV all summer. The 3rd star on the Lakers. ABC loves him. Blah, blah,

He was talking about Austin who he benched after the FIRST 10 GAMES after Austin killed himself playing to Team USA over the summer. Time to go Darvin. LA loves Austin > you.

The Lakers need a new general manager. Add a new coach to move forward cleanly. Rob Pelinka needs to go also.

Yes this is Lakers and the Lakers are bigger than Your King.

The season is over for Lakers. Time to move on. Coaching matters!!

Rui was injured at the start of season.

🔥 I don't care about the drama & finger pointing... I just want my Lakers to FINALLY hire the right coach long-term! David Leonard Adelman should be next head coach... 🤞🏼

Lol guys it was clearly about DLO not Rui 🤦‍♂️

Blaming injuries is a weak argument from a coach

Thank you guys 👍👍

Ham was spitting facts so he got fired for these bums

He gave a very impressive speech for a guy who never played or coached in the NBA! They let anyone with a mic just give their opinion🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿

But is he not aware that other teams will look at those comments and say “can’t hire that guy, he won’t own a decision and will make excuses and does not know X’s and O’s?

lebron about to be on his 4th coach in 6 years- Lottery, bubble chip, 1st round exit, lottery, WCF sweep, first round fodder.

Bob Meyers, just might be available as a GM.... Just saying...

I thought he was the scapegoat. Now he's scapegoating Rui!

When AR15 started hanging out with DLo, he was never the same. It is the version of seeing your kid hanging out with a poor performing kid at school. you just know the kid is done.

Nobody is going to talk about AD being made out of glass!!?.. a bump on the shoulder with someone else from the nuggets made him go down like if he got shot in the arm - he didn’t score any points for 2 quarters - So Lebron had to carry the team. Man up AD!!

Where were the young draft picks, they got no time at all. I hope no matter who is with the Lakers next season, they play the young players in the rotation.

Fire them damn Players starting with Your King.

The lakers organization didnt give ham a chance. He was with lakers for 2 years. Last year they made semifinals. This year they made playoff. Of, course he came up short. So, everything is his fault. I dont think so. Its a group effort. You might as well blame everybody from management, coach, players. He still a solid coach. He shouldnt have went out that way.

Dude Interrupted him too much

When your STAR PLAYER stat pads and DOESNT SCRIMMAGE REGULARLY with the team, you get people slow on notations and cuts to the basket etc. Sure Lebron can still put up his numbers, but the other players suffer, and they get called out along with coaches. Lakers will continue to lose with Lebron being their 1st or 2nd best player. Their fans eill live in the make belive land of IF ONLY_______

Dude Austin played late August for 2 weeks only. Wtf are you talking about being tired? Season started late October. 🤡

Ham did know what da hell he was doing in the nuggets series- this fu could had put max christie and christian wood in the game 5 .... Smh

Darvin played Reddish even when the wheels had already fallen off !

Now that ham is gone, what's expected from the Lakers? 😂😂

The problem is at the very top..Jeanie Buss keeps hiring, based on Nepotism, and hiring Kobe's agent, Pelinka. Lakers should look at the Ainge and Brad Stevens blueprint for the Boston Celtics!!! They will be playing for title #18 in June, while I'm Jeanie and Rob Pelinka can only watch.

The Lakers should of have gotten Kyrie instead of teaching LeBron a lesson

Darvin Ham is the most blame shifting do nothing coach I've ever seen

Pelinka messed up when he failed to replace Dwight Howard Lakers lost by a possession or two they lost by free throws Spencer dwindle missing 3 free throws You need someone to guard MPJ he was eating the lakers up like all you can eat buffet

THE LAKERS HAD A " WALMART STARTING BACKOURT " 1. AUSTIN "CAN'T GUARD A DEAD MAN " REAVES 2." D LOSER " RUSSELL WHAT WAS DARVIN GONNA ACCOMPLISH WITH THAT " WALMART KNOCK OFF 📴 "STARTING BACKCOURT?

Who or what have you coached?

how can you be upset with Ham or Rob ? They lost to the defending champs this year and last year . almost won 2 of the games they lost had several injuries to key backups and starters

This is Torian prince. He was the starter that shit the bed. Then he was not a starter anymore. Which he never should have been ! That's my guess.

I'm sorry darvin ham wasn't the problem LeBron as the leader wanted to be the the player and coach.

Ham is and was NOT the problem!! It’s #23!!!! Get that ped using pos off the team

It’s the players fault hello they played the game

Rob Pelinka via the athletic.

Look at how Minnesota is dominating the game over the nuggets. True center and a true power forward combo. Denver cannot get the extra possession. Solar to 2020 lakers championship run. Fire Pelinka as well! Jeanie needs to sell the team!

110% DLo

Can't believe he hasn't been fired. Ham blames everyone else and never takes responsibility for his own issues. No, it's not Rui! If so, that highlights why Ham has treated Rui like shit this season from day one. Ham started the two guys he's coached in the past in Cam and Prince over all the other available players. Not to mention he left them both in the starting lineup when they were "shitting the bed." He gave both of them a whole lot of leeway in the process vs Rui, Reeves, and DLO.

Sedano needs to stop cutting off Kap & interrupting so much, that's so Annoying & Cringe.

Lakers are not a great team. They did about as well as they could’ve given the current roster.

Rui??? How is this dude even on this podcast? Lmao. Clearly he is clueless

Darvin did not have a backup reliable center so he wanted rui with hayes in bench role so rui can produce. I blame lbj because it only showed once when Darvin drawing up a play and he just walked away, that shows lbj doesn't listen to any coach like spoelstra to at Miami and he was trying to balance the lineup with offense and defense but lbj always need help so he wanted top guys playing with him so bench was weak

So stop blaming Darvin only and I know he made bad calls and such, but lbj always wanted to do what he wants then whines saying more help and when fails he always says at least j have my stats and others can't produce because 1st 3 qtrs he always get his and fails at 4th that's why he fails to end the game

Everyone has forgotten the Celtics game that the team won without AD and Lebron ? lebron face was not happy during that game , if you remember ! 😂

Ham gave them no reat! He forever had a small ball lineup that continued to be a factor...he on ly used who liked...had help in the bench...yetwouldn't use the help.So he's to blame!!@

Make Lababy player coach so he can cry to himself …. Only a subordinate would take that job - for the money and spotlight ! Tough job !

i think twas dlo or ar,, dlo only played well (consistent) during trade talks scored 25-30+ pts then after that nada, its either he shows or not, up down up down like ad last season, reaves after usa basketball he no show, he not like reaves last season anymore (maybe tired) but its not like they play basketball everyday lol, lakers guards are inconsistent this season, reaves also good defender last season, now eehhh. what i want them to upgrade this summer is a consistent guard, pg who can legit playmake, fast, can defend and a center, big body center who can rebound, a hustle rebounder, hayes was fine but he thin he gets pushed by bigger center, wood not really a center, so AD can get back to 4. then bout the coach, dunno🤷‍♀️ up to them, if theres a better coach who have GOOD KNOWLEDGE about basketball then gow

I think he was talking about Reaves. P.S. Ham cr*pped the bed multiple times. He needs to go.

Ham will always be a PISTON!! so Arthur can keep his hands in his pockets and blame the players. He should go coach Detroit!

Lebron want Erik spo fires

Ham Lost The Lakers with Sub 500 Record In The First Half of The Season Before The All Star Break. This Put The Lakers In a Bad Position Fighting to get out of the Play- In Tournament, intern the Lakers had to face The Nuggets in the 1st R .Had Darvin Ham Not Messed around with Experimentation with Line up Changes,Benching Reaves & DLO first half of the Season...The Lakers may have been in a better Seeding which would allow them not facing The Nuggets in the 1st Round..The duo of Austin Reaves and D'Angelo Russell reunited back in the starting lineup allow the Lakers a second best record after the All-Star Break..But It Was To Late..NUFF SAID.. Ham must go

The chump on left obviously hasn’t been following the team and is playing armchair quarterback if he thinks it was Rui.

Are you serious dudes? Is this the level of "journalism" on ESPN now? You will go through a whole segment creating some stories and digging into the stats just because YOU think a certain player might or might not be the one who Ham addressed! That's ridiculous, more hilarious than a morning horoscope! If you want to be real journalists should ask Darvin Ham point blank instead of going through all that BS! And one might wonder why more and more people turn to independent media for more realistic coverage!

Rui is a G league player. He played scared through the end of the season. He played like a marshmallow. Didn’t fight for rebounds, lost on defense and has no IQ. Can’t believe we are paying him 17mil a year for his trash play. He was so scared he missed about 12-13 bunny lay ups. Trade him and fire ham.

Talk turnovers King turnover Lebron led the lakers this season and playoffs and is the NBA all time leader in turnovers with 5211 and counting. Compare to Kobe with 4010. Three point shooting 45/152 against Denver and the no show of AD in all 4th qtrs against Denver. Blame the players not the coach.

When I read this comment, I thought for SURE it was fake. It was not. Darvin is a loser. Period. An inept head coach. To throw one of your very own players under the bus is despicable but not surprising in the least. That's what losers with no accountability do. Jorge had brought up the horrible + - of Prince in starting lineup vs the great + - of Rui months before Darvin finally made the move. That was coaching malpractice that he waited so long. Darvin is the same guy who started Troy Brown Jr all those games last season while barely playing Rui. Horrible coach. Good riddance.

Sorry can't take a man serious with a scaf wrapped around his neck

🎯WHY YOU FOOLS TRYING TO ACT LIKE HAM AIN’T TALKIN’ ABOUT LEBRON‼️ ITS 4 ON 5 BECAUSE LEBRON STAND AROUND JAMES CANT PLAY DEFENSE & HE INSERTS HIMSELF INTO GAMES ON HIS OWN✍🏽 NO THERE WILL BE NO ROTATION‼️ DARVIN HAM ISN’T MISSING GAME WINNERS NOR GETTING OUTREBOUNDED & DUNKED ON BY AARON GORDON‼️🤣 ITS LEBRON ‼️ HE SEES THE LAKERS GETTING HOT & GETS JEALOUS & INSERTS HIMSELF INTO THE GAME TO BE A PART OF THE SHINE & THEY WIND UP LOSING INSTEAD OF DARVIN HAM BEING ABLE TO TRULY MANAGE HIS TEAM‼️ THE BUM 23 NEEDS TO COACH

sardineo & krap

Darvin Ham is a good dude just a horrible coach. His lack of timeout usage , in take adjustments , his team seems to be lost on defense , as a team aside from AD they suck at rebounds , he didn’t developed max Christie .

AD is unreliable...LeBron is old and past his supreme prime and the rest of the roster is not extremely consistent and talented...Blow the entire team up and rebuild it through the draft and smart free agency so the Lakers can seriously compete for championships long-term...Get rid of AD and LeBron to get high value draft picks for them...

They need to get rid of LeBron. He's been a cancer on every team he's been on.

fact, they were playing like garbage at the time they got benched.

Darvin can’t complain about who he really wants to complain about. And to be honest if they remove that person I think the team wood be better off and it would free up a lot of money…

It has to be Rui he plays not defense

Lakers will not beat Denver or minessotta because the queen is very old and is a cry baby

He shoulda made Rui come off the bench in this series. He kept him on the court LOOKING LOST WTF.

yea these guys don’t know shit bout ball.

Rob palinka needs to be replaced by Magic Johnson, keep all the players who played, fire Vanderbelt Vincent and the injured players

Good for darvin, I’m glad he’s standing up for himself for all the bullshit he put up with from his players to the media. No matter if you’re a horrible coach, no one deserves to be treated like that
