You didn’t watch Lakers games if you think Darvin Hamm’s a good coach. With that being said idk who they expect to replace him, all the good coaches are tied up for next year.
I’m tired of the media talking about this, he lost the locker room, his rotations were bad, he didn’t know how to manage timeouts, and he didn’t know how to adjust game to game, you’re playing Gabe and Spencer at the same time when they both can’t give you anything on offense, in the middle of the season he benches Dlo and Reaves to start Reddish and Vando who have no offensive output, I don’t wanna hear it, he wasn’t the guy!

If he and all the rest of the coaches were so Bad then why did they hire him? Who's responsible for that. Who's responsible for Westbrook? If you pick horrible then you have to blame yourself and say that you suck at selecting good people.
Pat Riley himself said Bron never said even once about anything related to firing Spo ever. But here we are running with same story for years. Its a joke at this point.
All this fake outrage around Darvin being fired so SURELY he’ll be hired immediately, its clear as day most of the ESPN folks didn’t watch the Laker games only highlights and stat sheets
Exactly. I watched every game they played this year in full... and he was terrible. It took him literally half the season before he knew his best starting 5. He wouldn't use timeouts to stop opponents going on runs. Half the time the Lakers weren't even running plays. He deserved it, and the comments here prove it. Nobody thinks he's a great coach...
It's also clear as day that you don't win championship by continuing firing coaches. Lebron wanted Erik Spolestra fired too. Had the Heat done that Lebron would likely be with 2 less rings.
It sounds to me like Stephen A gives the coach all the credit and the players all the blame. It is clear Ham is a friend to the majority of these tv personalities. I don’t remember hearing any of this when Vogel was let go
I'm not sure why Steven is still on TV, he has as much credibility as me or you or any other random person... Plenty of others who actually have credibility to talk about this matter.
Is so obvious Stephen A didn’t watch the games at all. He literally didn’t know how to keep a rotation. Didn’t know when to use his challenges or timeouts. Waited until Denver was down 4 to call a time out up by 20. He literally didn’t know what to do
Not to mention game 5 we were up 10 in the 3rd. DEN makes a run. I’m screaming call a timeout as the lead dwindles 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Tie -3…now he calls a timeout. Bruh I wanted to slap him through the screen. We’ve been dealing with that BS for 2 years. Media pays attention to the big time games but he did that vs everybody. Even the games vs the “nobodies”
@@1990758 True!! Or even win coach of the year and get fired. Edit... It's like that now because the players have more power than they ever had.

The lakers have done a lot of things wrong since 2019, they were loving the young folks like ingram, ball and hart, they traded them for a second star. 2021 they traded half their team who helped them win the title in 2020 for other players. 2022 they traded those players for a super team who missed the playoffs. They should have kept KCP, Rondo, Howard and Mcgee
just based on players stats? what about the intangibles such as managing timeouts and using challenges when needed and drawing up plays after timeouts?
if Lebron had his way in Miami if you remember, he wanted Erik Spoelstra fired but Pat Riley said to Lebron, you're just the player. You're not the coach, Erik is the guy. That would've been 10 head coaches for Lebron if he had his way in Miami.
It has to be seamless from GM to coach to players. GM has to give the coach players that fit his system strengths, and the coach has to give players a system that fits their strengths and the players have to perform to their strengths. We always think about how well the players and coach mix....but we rarely think about how well the GM and coach mix. There's things that should go on between them that we don't even think about enough to ever criticize.

Now these media members are actually pissing me off. Darvin Ham was not a championship coach, they got those accomplishments in spite of him, they should not have been a 7&8 seed. Their personnel was lacking and we all agree that was a major part but you playing Schroeder, AR, Lonnie, DLO together against Denver, you win the IST then decide let me start Cam Reddish and Taurean Prince and go from top 4 in the west to 2-10 fighting for an 8 seed. You lead all games against Denver and bled every lead without making adjustments or calling timely timeouts. I could type a thesis on his malpractice FOH
What is Unc talking about. Darvin wasn’t the coach when we traded for Westbrook. Vogel was and that’s part of the reason why he got fired. He couldn’t make it work with dude and lost the locker room in the process.
@iamjamesmeeks Shannon off the henny, he’s literally trying to create a narrative that personnel decisions entirely go through the best players on the team.

Also the lonzo ball statement he made he tried to blame them getting lonzo ball as a Lebron/Ad decision when they weren’t even on the team at the time.

You're a complete idiot if you think LeBron runs plays his coaches calls...he could call the greatest play ever but if steroid man wants to run the LeBron system guess what system they're running...the LeBron system
coaching differences between him and nuggets coach was palpable as a casual viewer. success post time outs, when to call time outs, response to game plan on diminishing leads, etc
Darvin Ham was clueless as a head coach. He never called time outs nor called plays. The team was never prepared. And his rotations and offensive/defensive schemes were dreadful. Ham deserved to be fired.
LeFlop gotta blame someone. Simple as that. Let’s see… blame his teammates, blame a phantom injury, blame the refs, blame the water boy, blame…. Ahhh yes, blame the coach. Blame blame blame.
Stopped watching this clip the moment Stephen A said Darvin Ham shouldn’t have been fired. The only real mistake the Lakers made was hiring him in the first place. His firing was long overdue and a welcome move to anyone who actually understands basketball. Darvin Ham is simply not ready for a head coaching job.
LeBron might as well be player/coach he doesn't listen to coaches anyway he never wanted to play in a real offense with player/ ball movement he just wants to dominate the ball so he can get his stats. Iso at the top, dribble the air out the ball while his teammates stand and watch, get a screen to create a mismatch try to score or drive and kick s.o.s no matter the coach or team
i hate this trend in all sports of managers taking the fall before a lot of players do/should. It is almost like it is such an easy scapegoat for owners and players to blame them
If the Lakers and any other contending team want to start winning, they need to prioritize winning basketball over big contracts. The top stars eat up the salary cap so then they have to sign players on minimum deals and it's what's left of free agency...
MJ didn't get Phil Jackson fired, they helped and supported each other. MJ ended up being the greatest basketball player of all time and Phil the greatest coach of all time.
Because mj was the student he just wanted everybody else to play ball. Phil was still the head of the team mj was the captain.. bron wants to be the coach and the player which is why dude loses to teams who have real chemistry.
@@WRNIIVIIII cause he got to be the coach! You know how hard it is when a player is doing more talking than you is making demands etc lol how tf am I the coach but I gotta listen to you ? 9 coaches..they all get fired. If Lebron is not satisfied with his cast.. they all get traded lol there’s no real chemistry cause dude wants everything to help him be the “goat” instead of winning rings
😂😂😂 “ ITS BS”- Darvin Lost how many leads in the Nuggets series? Is that a normal thing a great head coach would do? Was it normal when he decided to start Tauren prince over Rui for 40+ game because he knew him as an assistant coach? The only reason why Stephen a is worked up is because he’s close to Mike wilban and Mike knows Darvin for 30+ years 😂
In the same way I disagreed with Milwaukee firing Adrien Griffin, I disagree with the firing of Darvin Ham. Superstars need to be held accountable to the results.
The coach can only do as much as with the players he has. Well said by Stephen A, "you have shooters who can't defend, you have defenders who can't shoot."

Ham couldn't figure out a line up for anything bro was throwing the worst shi out there. There video evidence my guy . Your buying into LeBron drama. WHAT PLAY have you seen the Lakers run that even looks good. Other then LeBron and ad being who they are
Jeannie is as bad as her brother Jim. Dr. Buss was a genius and his chops did not transfer into his kids.
No it was pat Riley then Jerry buss Jerry west
Have they watched ham struggling to draw up a play as players are looking at him? Or keeping hands in pockets as the lakers get battered
Lol iv also seen pelinka struggling but yah seem to forget that
You're a complete idiot if you think LeBron runs plays his coaches calls...he could call the greatest play ever but if steroid man wants to run the LeBron system guess what system they're running...the LeBron system
Pelinka isn’t on the court
Exactly
coaching differences between him and nuggets coach was palpable as a casual viewer. success post time outs, when to call time outs, response to game plan on diminishing leads, etc
Biggest difference is coaching experience
Darvin Ham was clueless as a head coach. He never called time outs nor called plays. The team was never prepared. And his rotations and offensive/defensive schemes were dreadful. Ham deserved to be fired.
Need a consistent power forward
There was a game 7 yesterday btw
yup! this show is just sports TMZ
LeFlop gotta blame someone. Simple as that. Let’s see… blame his teammates, blame a phantom injury, blame the refs, blame the water boy, blame…. Ahhh yes, blame the coach. Blame blame blame.
Bron be deporting coaches😂
Lol😂
Sure he won playoffs or play ins or whatever, but we know the Lakers with LeBron and AD have been underperforming while he was there
Why would anyone want that job? All the blame, no chance of winning a title. 10 coaches in 21 years is crazy
what are they on about. Darvin Ham was terrible. some coaches for sure don’t deserve to get get fired but come on.. he was bad..
I wouldn’t put all the blame on Ham but he clearly wasn’t a great coach when it came to adjustments and game management.
The nikka only been a coach 4 two years.. of course he's not great
@@modoe6619 You can’t be terrible or you ain’t lasting long in the NBA.
Love how the moderator not unnecessarily interfere with this debate. Flawless show👍👍👍
One of the many times “bs” has come out of Stephen A’s mouth
They need to fire pelinka
Stopped watching this clip the moment Stephen A said Darvin Ham shouldn’t have been fired. The only real mistake the Lakers made was hiring him in the first place. His firing was long overdue and a welcome move to anyone who actually understands basketball. Darvin Ham is simply not ready for a head coaching job.
Surface level watchers. Context matters.
Lol so why doesn’t context matter when it comes to Rob pelinka and that front office…
@@Desnondbecause that’s apart of the context, but it doesn’t negate the fact that a large portion of the blame goes to Ham.
@@HydratedHero I think the root of your problems is the front office…guys hiring darvin
Lebron will never rock with Stephen A again
As well as Shannon
I think them trading away Caruso was one of the biggest components in the beginning of the Lakers' demise as champions
Well I think they're gonna trade away Is reeves.
They gave up on paul george years ago and he was only there a short time another bone head decision
I’m sorry that’s fucked up.
I think firing Frank Vogul was worst than this because he actually got the job done and still was fired
Best coach
Exactly. But I think a lot of these coaches get fired and get rehired. Except for mark jackson.
👏👏
@@1990758 right I believe Marc Jackson has been black balled in some way it makes no sense why he still ain’t found a coaching job yet
He lost the locker room lol
So hold on, You are not blaming Jeanie and you're not blaming Bron. You're blaming Palinka who is stuck in the middle?
Same criticisms you give Jerry Jones you got to give it to Jeanie buss Stephen a Smith and you don't do that
THE LAKERS & LEBRON ARE ELIMINATED FROM PLAYOFF CONTENTION !!!! THEY ARE NO LONGER A CURRENT TOPIC!!!!
Fire every coach that didn’t make the playoffs then. Darvin Ham is the target of discrimination
Its alright, Doc is available now 😂😂😂😂
10 coaches in 21 yrs? Coach killer
The so called goat 😂
Steven A face when unc agreed is like when you ask the parents to go outside with friends not expecting a yes and end up with one 😂😂
- priceless
Have to agree 1000% with Shannon’s take on this
I swear to God the lies these two will tell
How to say "Fire Rob Pelinka" without really saying "Fire Rob Pelinka". :😂
westbrook did come off bench under ham. shannon a poser lol.
When it comes to NBA/NFL head coaches all it matters to Stephen A is their color…
LeBron might as well be player/coach he doesn't listen to coaches anyway he never wanted to play in a real offense with player/ ball movement he just wants to dominate the ball so he can get his stats. Iso at the top, dribble the air out the ball while his teammates stand and watch, get a screen to create a mismatch try to score or drive and kick s.o.s no matter the coach or team
Management style of Lakers is very Dallas Cowboys like.
It’s baffling when they made changes after winning the title
Stephen A deadass doesn’t watch any of the games to say Darvin “absolutely” shouldn’t have been fired is blasphemy of the highest order.
Laker fans hold this *L*
Darvin Ham won the 1st in season tournament and got fired lol 😂.
i hate this trend in all sports of managers taking the fall before a lot of players do/should. It is almost like it is such an easy scapegoat for owners and players to blame them
People defending Lebron in these comments are crazy
LeGM strikes again
Trade LeBron and AD and all problems will be gone
If the Lakers and any other contending team want to start winning, they need to prioritize winning basketball over big contracts. The top stars eat up the salary cap so then they have to sign players on minimum deals and it's what's left of free agency...
MJ didn't get Phil Jackson fired, they helped and supported each other. MJ ended up being the greatest basketball player of all time and Phil the greatest coach of all time.
Because mj was the student he just wanted everybody else to play ball. Phil was still the head of the team mj was the captain.. bron wants to be the coach and the player which is why dude loses to teams who have real chemistry.
And Phil called timeouts and made in game adjustments when necessary
@@WRNIIVIIII cause he got to be the coach! You know how hard it is when a player is doing more talking than you is making demands etc lol how tf am I the coach but I gotta listen to you ? 9 coaches..they all get fired. If Lebron is not satisfied with his cast.. they all get traded lol there’s no real chemistry cause dude wants everything to help him be the “goat” instead of winning rings
Leblame strikes again.
Front office problems
TRADE LEBRON! He’s making too much and not producing!
Everyone blaming Darvin is dumb. Why? What was LeBron doing before he came to LA. Nothing As usual LeBron is keft off tge hook.
😂😂😂 “ ITS BS”- Darvin Lost how many leads in the Nuggets series? Is that a normal thing a great head coach would do?
Was it normal when he decided to start Tauren prince over Rui for 40+ game because he knew him as an assistant coach? The only reason why Stephen a is worked up is because he’s close to Mike wilban and Mike knows Darvin for 30+ years 😂
First Lakers take. Thats the name of the show now. So no other teams exist. Unbelievable.
What Rob should do , is ask himself : What would Kobe do? What if Kobe was in charge or the Coach. You ask that question and you will win.
People grilling Stephen A. Keep that same energy for Shannon because he totally agrees with everything he said.
Adrian Griffin come on down!
In the same way I disagreed with Milwaukee firing Adrien Griffin, I disagree with the firing of Darvin Ham. Superstars need to be held accountable to the results.
Nah. I watched those Lakers games. Darvin Ham was abysmal
How do you get fired after winning a in-season tourney championship?
The coach can only do as much as with the players he has. Well said by Stephen A, "you have shooters who can't defend, you have defenders who can't shoot."
Nah bruh to this day I'm still heated they broke up that bubble chip team...they had veterans, youth and a decent coach. Rondo, Dwight, Javale...etc
