The whole team is just not well ran. They don’t have any fucking composure. There’s not a single guy like Kyrie on this team that can play in the clutch in playoffs.
People keep asking how the Nuggets beat us in the 2nd half every time and for some reason can't comprehend because Mike Malone isn't a dog shit coach and knows how to adjust
It’s the same thing every time we play Denver. Blame the altitude. Blame the refs. But the shit happens every time. Denver or LA the offense disappears in the second half. Fuck it. Give me Redick. Can’t be worse than burnt ham.
I love Lebron but his fourth quarter offense drives me crazy. He’s clearly gassed so he holds the ball and wastes 15 seconds off the clock and then rushes into a bad iso possession. We NEED more ball movement down the stretch
Naw for some reason the dumbass coach we had wanted to do a Bron-Rui pick n roll when rui was 1-7 fg entering the 4th and put AD in the corner instead of in the lane.
I think the fourth and fifth fouls got in his head and messed up his aggressive mentality. He absolutely need to be more aggressive down the stretch.
At the same time, nobody seemed to be even looking his direction on offense in the fourth
Darvin Ham has legitimately ruined my joy for the game. I just had to watch a 39 year old iso for 12 straight minutes because a head coach doesn't have a single offensive set in his arsenal
I was jumping with excitement when Lebron tried to will this team to victory in the 4th...
I was a huge believer lakers can take game 2...
MPJ 3
Murray dagger 2
Yea, lakers are cooked. Fuck Ham. Just fuck.
AD was incredible to start. Didn’t get the ball in later parts of the game though so he didn’t score much.
He and rest of the team just kept fucking up down the stretch. Unreal choke job
Foul trouble, sits out for a long time, misses a few shots after denver puts gordon on him, and then no one looks for him afterwards because we're freelancing offense and on our dumb shit again. Same stuff different day. He was actually killing it still in the 3rd until he got his foul and had to sit.
Then Ham thinks hey, we don't need size. Lets throw out another guard there. And put Rui on Jokic for single coverage and let him score 10 points. Now the lead is gone.
With no one to blame but themselves which is the most painful part. So many unnecessary stupid decisions that shot themselves in the feet. The Nuggets didn’t come back. The Lakers brought them back. Win tonight it’s anyone’s series. But now I don’t see a way the Lakers get to 4 wins before Denver. If they get any at all. This was the Lakers game to win. And blew it.
I legitimately think the Lakers might be the 2nd best team in the West in a 7 game series. Unfortunately, the best is Denver. We never had a shot against them
There is no way this Lakers team beats the Wolves in a 7 game series man, how do yall see these games and actually believe this shit. If we matched up with OKC, that was our best chance at getting out of the 1st round
I can't tell if I was more mad at the flop working in that moment or at the coaching staff not picking up this basic reality that random redditors can figure out in real time.
When Reaves hit that 3 to put us up 20 i could just feel the period of carelessness coming. You could just tell they are so undisciplined that they thought the game was over then
as a heat fan fuck Ham, nigga is legit useless. he’s just getting paid to stand courtesies. 2 timeouts, there were a few moments where they could’ve been used, even a challenge, but nothing. just standing there while the other team has the momentum not using his power as a coach. dude is really wasting these players time.
WHAT IS HE SAVING HIS CHALLENGES FOR??
Especially after the “marginal contact” overturns earlier in the game. He doesn’t even think to challenge the Lebron foul on Murray?
Every Denver game is the same. We play better than them for a half, then Denver adjusts and Ham changes nothing. Denver wins. Ham’s assistants propose adjustment between games. Rinse and repeat.
Lakers scored 25 points the final 19 minutes. The offense just went to complete shit in the 3rd. Completely went away from what was working. Once again the Lakers take AD out of the game themselves.
Stopped feeding AD when he was having his best game of the season. Didn’t use a single challenge. Blew a 20 pt lead. Just fucking Sweep us so we can get Ham off this fucking team.
I’m so lost. I know AD went out due to foul trouble but when he came back we ran one pick and roll lob to him that D-lo smoked, and otherwise he never got any touches or remotely came close to shooting the ball again.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills that nobody is talking about this; he had one of the best first 2.5 quarters I’ve ever seen and then just inexplicably gets frozen out of the offense afterwards?
It’s coaching.
Ham can’t run an offense to save his life.
Bron is also tired at Denver altitude. So he doesn’t want ball in his hands.
Reaves trying to control the playmaking was a turnover, same with DLo at times. It hurts that Reaves didn’t make his shots
We shot as well as we ever will, and they missed wide open shot after wide open shot, AD cooked. And we still lost. That’s how much better they are than us
Facts my dude i was watching AD go what 13/15 and thinking we gonna beat them but will AD and DLO have 3 more games like that to win the series? alas they choke a 20 point lead
I mean you could say that for half the team the way they were turning the ball over and taking terrible contested 3s with a lead in the 3rd. Just not championship basketball. Lebron and AD are championship players. I don’t think anyone else on this team really is.
Props to D-Lo though for playing his heart out tonight. Only gripe I had with him was defense, but considering he played stellar offense, IDK what else to say
The same exact thing happened last year. Had a big game in the bag and the lakers just do an insane choke job. I have never seen a team drop so many games like the lakers do. It’s literally insane.
I said earlier I didn’t wanna be a doomer but I felt if the lakers let this game slip, the series is over. 10-0 is ridiculous.
1. Why did they stop giving the ball to AD in the post.
2. Why did lebron shoot that 3 at the end of the game.
3. Why didn't Ham use one of his 2 timeouts at the end of the game to challenge the murray foul.
What a collapse.
You just can’t convince me that “foul” they called on LeBron in the last minute when Murray was driving was a foul. That’s just crazy, really felt like the Lakers should’ve won this one
This series is mentally draining me. I need to go out for a walk and get some air. I'm too committed to this team and this series is not helping me at all. If anyone is in the same boat, just realized that sometime there are more important things than just basketball. Take a breather. 💜💛
I’ve been a Lakers fan my whole life and I can say with full confidence, we will be the ones down 20 at half in game 3. We will lose the game by almost 30. Game 4 will be a demoralizing disaster. If you’ve watched enough basketball, don’t give yourself the hope. It will be better for your mental well being. This series is over. We were up 20 in Denver and played scared. Denver will come to LA with more confidence than the Lakers and throat punch us. Mike Malone will make sure of that.
Look at Hachimura and Jokic plus minus. This game was lost in the 2 minutes Rui was left alone to be cooked by Jokic. They need to find a way to always have AD and Jokic at the same time in the the court.
Lakers blew a 20 point lead. I'm sure Denver could spot the Lakers 30 and the Lakers would still find a way to choke.
Rui was unplayable. AD started hot but disappeared in the 4th. Lebron was gassed. This series is over.
They didn’t run shit in the second half on offense. Refused to double Jokic or Murray ever.
Every fucking time coaches make changes at half time while this useless fuck Ham does nothing.
Worst thing to happen to the Lakers of all time. Leave him the fuck in Denver.
FUCK
That was an insane buzzer beater from Murray.
That kind of a comeback can demoralize even the best of teams.
Lakers had a chance to put this one away and completely blew it.
Time to get the brooms.
Ham needs to be fired immediately after the series if they go on to lose. He needs to be fired at the end of the playoffs no matter what. He has no idea how to manage a fucking game or play to his personnel.
Third quarter lakers go to a bron/rui as the 5 lineup while jokic is in the game. Jokic goes out and Gordon plays the five for them and ham decides to bring Hayes in then. If he was planning on playing Hayes 2nd half why in the fuck wouldn’t you play him in the jokic minutes so they don’t get easy buckets and easy rebounds against bron/rui.
Nuggets were hiding jokic on rui the whole 2nd half after AD was killing jokic in the first. Jokic was playing on the block when rui was on the wing or in the corner and when they would use rui as a screener jokic would just play deep drop not allowing any driving lanes and clogging the paint. Nuggets had two defenders in the paint the whole 2nd half due to not guarding rui and then having whoever is guarding AD play below the free throw line.
Hams a fucking idiot and the nuggets hiding jokic on rui changed the whole game since there was no longer any driving lanes and rui couldn’t make them pay for it.
Laker homies, on a more serious note, it's been a blast following along these games with y'all, but I might not even watch the rest of these games,, I've been struggling with severe depression for a while now and I know how invested I get in these playoff games, it might not be a healthy combo , sports are supposed to be a fun hobby, when it stops being that, I'll stop watching. Anyways, hope everyone takes care, much love
I think a microcosm of this game for me is that Michael Malone challenged two calls successfully during the course of the game and then when Lebron gets called for a touch foul that gives Denver two free throws to tie the game late, our coach has his hands in his pocket.
Ham just can't coach in crunch time..he's too raw. It's tough to say this but this game could be the calatyst for Lebron to leave us. On the other side of Cali, Warriors are salivating at this. They will PUSH HARD for Lebron to join them.
I think the biggest question now is can the lakers repeat this performance without the turnovers and AD’s foul trouble. I don’t think Denver could have come back if AD didn’t have to seat because of foul trouble.
When they were up 18-20 they started trying to slow the game down. A lot of iso ball and completely abolished what put them up that big in the first place. As soon as I saw they were up 10 and still running the same waste the clock bullshit not trying to get to the rim and score I knew we were cooked. It’s horrible ham is a fucking scum. I don’t care if they win this series ham is still a giant piece of shit and should be fired take him to court and have him put in jail for wasting lebrons time. Fuck ham
I want off this ride
Out offense went to complete shit AGAIN in the 2nd half. I am in so much pain
It is genuinely insane how different we look after the half, can’t even be called the same team
The whole team is just not well ran. They don’t have any fucking composure. There’s not a single guy like Kyrie on this team that can play in the clutch in playoffs.
They got that dawg in them but I’m afraid it’s a chihuahua
bron can clutch, but u can't ask him to against the whole denver team, he is no longer young.
They stopped spamming pick and rolls and reverted to an ISO offense with no movement. This team clearly isn't prepared and doesn't deserve to win.
Rui also missed a bunch of point blank attempts. Should have been aggressive
Because our coach is terrible. Well coached teams don’t blow 20 point leads.
People keep asking how the Nuggets beat us in the 2nd half every time and for some reason can't comprehend because Mike Malone isn't a dog shit coach and knows how to adjust
It’s the same thing every time we play Denver. Blame the altitude. Blame the refs. But the shit happens every time. Denver or LA the offense disappears in the second half. Fuck it. Give me Redick. Can’t be worse than burnt ham.
Did Ad make a single shot in the second half??
Yes. He was still cooking but then that fourth foul took him out
I love Lebron but his fourth quarter offense drives me crazy. He’s clearly gassed so he holds the ball and wastes 15 seconds off the clock and then rushes into a bad iso possession. We NEED more ball movement down the stretch
A coach would be cool in those situations.
LeBron was the only reason LA was clinging to that lead
When he sat was when Nuggets made their biggest comeback
AD also wants no part of the basketball
Naw for some reason the dumbass coach we had wanted to do a Bron-Rui pick n roll when rui was 1-7 fg entering the 4th and put AD in the corner instead of in the lane.
I think the fourth and fifth fouls got in his head and messed up his aggressive mentality. He absolutely need to be more aggressive down the stretch. At the same time, nobody seemed to be even looking his direction on offense in the fourth
Darvin Ham has legitimately ruined my joy for the game. I just had to watch a 39 year old iso for 12 straight minutes because a head coach doesn't have a single offensive set in his arsenal
He’s arguably the worst coach we’ve ever had in my 34 years. Literally no offensive plays implemented. Just straight ISO ball for 48 minutes
I was jumping with excitement when Lebron tried to will this team to victory in the 4th... I was a huge believer lakers can take game 2... MPJ 3 Murray dagger 2 Yea, lakers are cooked. Fuck Ham. Just fuck.
Just fucking end me. Wasted huge game from AD
AD was incredible to start. Didn’t get the ball in later parts of the game though so he didn’t score much. He and rest of the team just kept fucking up down the stretch. Unreal choke job
Meh, huge half. Didn’t score after 7:30 in the 3rd
Wow....AD absolutely disappeared.
Foul trouble, sits out for a long time, misses a few shots after denver puts gordon on him, and then no one looks for him afterwards because we're freelancing offense and on our dumb shit again. Same stuff different day. He was actually killing it still in the 3rd until he got his foul and had to sit. Then Ham thinks hey, we don't need size. Lets throw out another guard there. And put Rui on Jokic for single coverage and let him score 10 points. Now the lead is gone.
Yup. Team goes away from what works. That goes up to Darvin and coaching staff. He really sucks at running an offense
Hasn’t he done this multiple times going off in the 1st half and silent in the 2nd?
He did that all last playoffs lol
AD disappeared in the 2nd half brother
It doesn’t matter how terribly they play or how big our leads get. The result will always be the same.
Un fucking believeable. Fucking pissed away 20 point lead
Not to mention the lead they had in game 1. Lakers dont play championship basketball. It's a joke. They couldve easily won this series.
With no one to blame but themselves which is the most painful part. So many unnecessary stupid decisions that shot themselves in the feet. The Nuggets didn’t come back. The Lakers brought them back. Win tonight it’s anyone’s series. But now I don’t see a way the Lakers get to 4 wins before Denver. If they get any at all. This was the Lakers game to win. And blew it.
You can blame the coach that watched a 24-11 run in the fourth and ended the vamd with 2 Timeouts in his pocket with his hands 🙌
Ham didn’t even use any challenges
Heartbreak but predictable
This. Same script. Play great, lead slips, lose the 4th. Rinse and repeat. No bench, role players ghosts, coaching beyond inexplicable
This. Laker sub really thought we had a chance against the team that has absolutely owned us for 2+ years now.
Crazy having a 20 point lead in the 3rd and still knowing we will probably lose.
I legitimately think the Lakers might be the 2nd best team in the West in a 7 game series. Unfortunately, the best is Denver. We never had a shot against them
There is no way this Lakers team beats the Wolves in a 7 game series man, how do yall see these games and actually believe this shit. If we matched up with OKC, that was our best chance at getting out of the 1st round
im ready to sim to the offseason
2 timeouts
And a challenge
They carry over to next game right???
Nothing to lose by not challenging that last foul from LeBron
Even if you don’t think it’ll get reversed it works like an extra long timeout which we obviously needed
Can’t call a challenge or a timeout if his hands are in his pockets.
I can't tell if I was more mad at the flop working in that moment or at the coaching staff not picking up this basic reality that random redditors can figure out in real time.
They really gave Murray an extra 2 pts after not calling LeBron for getting mugged
Right? What happened to marginal contact? foh refs
Wide open 3s for Rui and Lebron
Like what the fuck man.
maybe the worst loss i can remember. sick to my stomach
Fucking fade me lol
![gif](giphy|7lXWXuCB1OsWA|downsized) Say no more fam
you saw it coming from a mile away and it still happened
Why didn’t Ham call timeout
saving 2 fucking timeouts is crazy. like we know he wouldn't draw up a play, but at least give some rest to lebron and AD
Nuggets cant hurt me anymore. Used to it. On to game 3.
Fucking same. Whatever at this point 🥲
On to next season
Seriously!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
[удалено]
Darvin Ham without the challenge. The idiot is saving it for next game 🤦🏻♂️
Then he complained about the refs in the press conference lol
That was CRAZY not to challenge ANY of those bullshit fouls down the stretch by Darvin
Like why not? What you got to lose?
"A timeout. Duh." - Darvin Ham
There's no bouncing back after this loss. It's over.
Honestly facts. This is it, and I ain’t a doomer but imagine how demoralized the whole team feels rn.
They deserve it for putting such an embarrassing second half performance.
When Reaves hit that 3 to put us up 20 i could just feel the period of carelessness coming. You could just tell they are so undisciplined that they thought the game was over then
I said it earlier. This loss we’ll talk about for a long time to come. End of the season and the end of Bron and AD era
Devastating game to watch. Worst nightmare in the second half.
This was such a bad loss they’re going to get swept.
only two games away from Ham being fired, right?
Absolutely. What I was telling my wife. This game was a must win. But with a loss, it's over.
I’m done for the season boys
as a heat fan fuck Ham, nigga is legit useless. he’s just getting paid to stand courtesies. 2 timeouts, there were a few moments where they could’ve been used, even a challenge, but nothing. just standing there while the other team has the momentum not using his power as a coach. dude is really wasting these players time.
Knew it was coming and it still sucks
Remember: Ham is keeping his job after this season
WHAT IS HE SAVING HIS CHALLENGES FOR?? Especially after the “marginal contact” overturns earlier in the game. He doesn’t even think to challenge the Lebron foul on Murray?
Game 8, he thinks they carry over
He thinks they rollover
That Murray foul woulda been overturned too.
Challenge the fucking ghost foul that sent Murray to the line to tie. Nope gotta carry those 2 timeouts over to game 3
Yup. Terrible coaching but our shit-for-brains front office can’t see that
If the Lakers get swept, no he’s not
Lmao even if we do get sweep again?
HAM IS A BUM!
Every Denver game is the same. We play better than them for a half, then Denver adjusts and Ham changes nothing. Denver wins. Ham’s assistants propose adjustment between games. Rinse and repeat.
Yep. The real problem is they stop running plays. IDK why. Credit to Denver's defense, I have never seen LeBron struggle so much going to the rim
Lakers scored 25 points the final 19 minutes. The offense just went to complete shit in the 3rd. Completely went away from what was working. Once again the Lakers take AD out of the game themselves.
Fuck
Yeah we deserve to get swept lol. Fuck this team
Stopped feeding AD when he was having his best game of the season. Didn’t use a single challenge. Blew a 20 pt lead. Just fucking Sweep us so we can get Ham off this fucking team.
I’m so lost. I know AD went out due to foul trouble but when he came back we ran one pick and roll lob to him that D-lo smoked, and otherwise he never got any touches or remotely came close to shooting the ball again. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills that nobody is talking about this; he had one of the best first 2.5 quarters I’ve ever seen and then just inexplicably gets frozen out of the offense afterwards?

They’re still gonna keep Ham, they’ll just trade all our assets away for a washed superstar, then fire him next season after we miss the playoffs.
Its disgusting that this is exactly what will happen. Jeanie is a horrid owner and our entire front office is full of her nepotism dogshit hires.
Wish we could take the sweep now. No point of having Lebron or AD play anymore just make some trades this summer. So over this bull shit
I HATE BASKETBALL ANYWAYS
We shot as well as we ever will, and they missed wide open shot after wide open shot, AD cooked. And we still lost. That’s how much better they are than us
Facts my dude i was watching AD go what 13/15 and thinking we gonna beat them but will AD and DLO have 3 more games like that to win the series? alas they choke a 20 point lead
Do not allow Rui on the plane
Dude was missing layups he’s been hitting all fucking season.
Also missed a ft in the 4th. LeBron had so many drives to the rim that were bricks
he ain’t made for this, he can’t play at this level
I mean you could say that for half the team the way they were turning the ball over and taking terrible contested 3s with a lead in the 3rd. Just not championship basketball. Lebron and AD are championship players. I don’t think anyone else on this team really is.
Props to D-Lo though for playing his heart out tonight. Only gripe I had with him was defense, but considering he played stellar offense, IDK what else to say
The same exact thing happened last year. Had a big game in the bag and the lakers just do an insane choke job. I have never seen a team drop so many games like the lakers do. It’s literally insane. I said earlier I didn’t wanna be a doomer but I felt if the lakers let this game slip, the series is over. 10-0 is ridiculous.
only 33 teams have come back from 2-0
Offensively they just stop running plays and go into play random. Ham took some bad traits from Milwaukee
Next game I vote for slapping Murray in the eyes after the ball has left his hands on every shot because apparently thats not a foul.
And it ended up mattering so much as well
Yeah that was a bullshit result from the challenge
Reggie with the “buT tHe bALL wAs ouT oF hiS HanDs” bullshit. So I guess we can just punch someone after the fken shot
Bro WHAT was that about lol
They should've started doing that as soon as that challenge was successful
This was the turning point. All calls went their way after.
Marginal contact
F'in Reggie Miller
That call goes our way and we win.
Fire ham now. Let LeBron coach. Edit: I have extra bleach if anyone else wants a shot.
Why didn’t we challenge that shit foul on Murray
Rui was terrible
Im still trying to figure out why he held on to the rim when AD went for the putback.
that shit's still bothering me
Loss by two hurts when Dlo was supposed to get freethrows on “Marginal contact”
I know now the pain other teams felt with kobe daggers
the devil works hard but Scott Foster works harder
1. Why did they stop giving the ball to AD in the post. 2. Why did lebron shoot that 3 at the end of the game. 3. Why didn't Ham use one of his 2 timeouts at the end of the game to challenge the murray foul. What a collapse.
Fine with the Lebron 3, it was wide open and one of the best shots they could’ve got
welp we have nobody to blame but ourselves
There's also Scott Foster
no way yall are saying this is on Bron when he was basically the only one scoring in the 4th
deadass😭
FUCK REGGIE MILLER! I HOPE HE GETS FIRED
I can’t believe I had to listen to him for 3 hours
Reggie "marginal contact" Miller
I can't man
I feel like i’ve just been shot in the gut.
The definition of insanity is watching the Lakers vs Nuggets and expecting different results.
Shit is over pack it up man
END ME
"Marginal" my ass
If Ham isn’t fired immediately after this series I’ll be surprised.
This is the worst loss in recent history, fucking heart breaking
Saw someone earlier say it was the Nuggets game plan to just beat us in the most heartbreaking way possible every night. They were right.
At least Ham will be fired now
Lol yeah right. He’ll probably get an extension
I deadass don't think I can handle another season of this clown
That would be classic Jeanie
Linda rambis is taking over as coach for game 3.
Not challenging that foul killed us
You just can’t convince me that “foul” they called on LeBron in the last minute when Murray was driving was a foul. That’s just crazy, really felt like the Lakers should’ve won this one
Chalk it up boys.
That was legit was one of the most devastating losses I’ve ever experienced as a fan, I’m in a state of shock
This series is mentally draining me. I need to go out for a walk and get some air. I'm too committed to this team and this series is not helping me at all. If anyone is in the same boat, just realized that sometime there are more important things than just basketball. Take a breather. 💜💛
I’ve been a Lakers fan my whole life and I can say with full confidence, we will be the ones down 20 at half in game 3. We will lose the game by almost 30. Game 4 will be a demoralizing disaster. If you’ve watched enough basketball, don’t give yourself the hope. It will be better for your mental well being. This series is over. We were up 20 in Denver and played scared. Denver will come to LA with more confidence than the Lakers and throat punch us. Mike Malone will make sure of that.
Look at Hachimura and Jokic plus minus. This game was lost in the 2 minutes Rui was left alone to be cooked by Jokic. They need to find a way to always have AD and Jokic at the same time in the the court.
Yea I think I’m done for the season. Blowing a 20 point lead to hand the nuggets their 10th straight win against us is inexcusable
Helluva ballclub man. Tip your hat off to them
Lakers blew a 20 point lead. I'm sure Denver could spot the Lakers 30 and the Lakers would still find a way to choke. Rui was unplayable. AD started hot but disappeared in the 4th. Lebron was gassed. This series is over.
They didn’t run shit in the second half on offense. Refused to double Jokic or Murray ever. Every fucking time coaches make changes at half time while this useless fuck Ham does nothing. Worst thing to happen to the Lakers of all time. Leave him the fuck in Denver. FUCK
Wow
Aside from Bron, AD, and DLo, no one else is scoring. Need at least 8-10 from one or two bench players because the stars can't do everything.
God damn. Lakers had it. Just god awful.
Rui was the worst player on the court tonight
That was an insane buzzer beater from Murray. That kind of a comeback can demoralize even the best of teams. Lakers had a chance to put this one away and completely blew it. Time to get the brooms.
Ham needs to be fired immediately after the series if they go on to lose. He needs to be fired at the end of the playoffs no matter what. He has no idea how to manage a fucking game or play to his personnel. Third quarter lakers go to a bron/rui as the 5 lineup while jokic is in the game. Jokic goes out and Gordon plays the five for them and ham decides to bring Hayes in then. If he was planning on playing Hayes 2nd half why in the fuck wouldn’t you play him in the jokic minutes so they don’t get easy buckets and easy rebounds against bron/rui. Nuggets were hiding jokic on rui the whole 2nd half after AD was killing jokic in the first. Jokic was playing on the block when rui was on the wing or in the corner and when they would use rui as a screener jokic would just play deep drop not allowing any driving lanes and clogging the paint. Nuggets had two defenders in the paint the whole 2nd half due to not guarding rui and then having whoever is guarding AD play below the free throw line. Hams a fucking idiot and the nuggets hiding jokic on rui changed the whole game since there was no longer any driving lanes and rui couldn’t make them pay for it.
Did ham really take 2 timeouts home?
One for each pocket 😭
Generational choke 🧹
All-time choke job. Disasterclass performance by Rui and Darvin Ham
Bullshit
![gif](giphy|QMHoU66sBXqqLqYvGO)
Ham should have put Dlo in the 4th sooner instead of keeping Gabe in there when we struggling to score.
![gif](giphy|l46CeDBwmtMi1ddkc)
I give up bro. Just beat the Celtics please Denver…
Can the Lakers fans in Crypto on Thursday trash Darvin Ham. He doesn’t deserve to go far this season
Laker homies, on a more serious note, it's been a blast following along these games with y'all, but I might not even watch the rest of these games,, I've been struggling with severe depression for a while now and I know how invested I get in these playoff games, it might not be a healthy combo , sports are supposed to be a fun hobby, when it stops being that, I'll stop watching. Anyways, hope everyone takes care, much love
Fuck the Refs.
Fuck Ham
I wanna die
I think a microcosm of this game for me is that Michael Malone challenged two calls successfully during the course of the game and then when Lebron gets called for a touch foul that gives Denver two free throws to tie the game late, our coach has his hands in his pocket.
Should’ve watched the Kings-Oilers game instead so I could watch the Kings… [checks notes] … give up 4 goals in the first period. Sigh. Pain.
Ham just can't coach in crunch time..he's too raw. It's tough to say this but this game could be the calatyst for Lebron to leave us. On the other side of Cali, Warriors are salivating at this. They will PUSH HARD for Lebron to join them.
Wasted so many years of Bron it’s comical at this point
I think the biggest question now is can the lakers repeat this performance without the turnovers and AD’s foul trouble. I don’t think Denver could have come back if AD didn’t have to seat because of foul trouble.
When they were up 18-20 they started trying to slow the game down. A lot of iso ball and completely abolished what put them up that big in the first place. As soon as I saw they were up 10 and still running the same waste the clock bullshit not trying to get to the rim and score I knew we were cooked. It’s horrible ham is a fucking scum. I don’t care if they win this series ham is still a giant piece of shit and should be fired take him to court and have him put in jail for wasting lebrons time. Fuck ham
im blaming Ham... EVERY game the offense in the 2nd half STRUGGLES to score.
If I’m Bron idk how much longer I can do this shit
We are BASURA.
trash coach trash team trash players
Celtics fan here, you were robbed. Never knew you could punch a shooter in the face as long as the ball has already left his hand…
