The Lakers need a new coaching staff. And they need tough, gritty, and physical 3&D two-way players with SIZE for next season especially on the wing and in the front court.
Every team they need thecmost coveted player archetype in the nba they dont grow on trees lakers wont get any
@@liamnelson6573 There are a lot of good players that the Lakers front office could've gotten but they passed them over for mediocre one way players. This time the Lakers front office must hire a knowledgeable coaching staff & add a few 3&D two-way players with size. AD & LeBron can still lead a team to a championship but they need more talented teammates because it takes a team to win a title.
@@erikkdane8485could've would've should've keep dreaming
@@ivanzhilin9522 I don't have to dream because I know that changes to the Lakers coaching staff and roster will happen in the off-season this Summer. So take your asinine antics elsewhere.
@@erikkdane8485 yea you right they will draft Bronny and he will take them to the promise land
gabe when asked about ham's excuse about health he said "First and foremost I'm not gonna make any excuses" that's really damning of how the bench feels bout ham
Thanks for all of your hard work this season, Jovan! you're reporting is second to none! Wishing you much success on your channel, almost 10k subscribers! Next goal is 100k 🙏
Well said.
JJ as a coach is the most Lakers thing they could do to waste the final years of LBJ
Incredibly proud of this squad and thank you for all of your hard work Jovan
Appreciate you sir🙏🏾Crazy season, so many what ifs.. Ham got outcoached +bad play from role players. Need 2surround Bron& AD w/ high motor athletes. Keep AR,Vando& Max. Bring N a 2way high m. athletic guard& wing+ a backup5. Denver is the best TM I've seen in years.The shot making is unreal.MPJs 3s almost feel like splash bros back in the day. A special TM. Thanks again for the great content. Looking forward 2 more.
Thank you, Jovan! I look forward to your video/audio coverage for an entire Season next year. An excellent 3 months on all levels. Laker fans are very fortunate to have you doing the hard work you do. 👏👏👏
Thanks for the coverage this year, Jovan. I’m a newer, casual basketball fan so I especially appreciate how you balance the stats coverage with the more overarching stories/season as a whole…always feel like I pick something up and never get lost in the numbers.
Appreciate all the work you’ve done this season Jovan.
Much appreciation to you, thank you for being a calm and logical reporter all season long.
We appreciate everything you do Jovan! Thank you for all the coverage from this season!
Enjoyed the ride, thanks Jovan
Man i cannot Believe how close these games were. Every game felt like a game 7 for Lakers fans cuz we know how important every game is so important
Thanks for the great coverage!
Thanks for the coverage this season, top tier content and appreciate every postgame reaction and takeaways. Great first season 🎉
Great videos Jovan, so proud of you! I'm looking forward to watching this channel grow as I know it will. Now, my take on the Lakers and the first round. Personally, I feel that the Lakers had a chance to win the first round. They dominated the Nuggets several times, yet I think their loss was more mental than ability. It is up to the coach to push them through the finish line. If they had the stats they had, then they had the performance ability to win this round. They had game 5 within reach and it sadly slipped away. I feel it's on the coach to instill the belief that they have everything within themselves as the team to win. I think the HAM is baked and will be carved out.
I love this podcast. great to listen to this perspective its so cool
Great article. That's good work 👏
Excellent. Thank you.
Thanks for the insights this season! Really enjoyed the backstage arena tours too! Agree about AD this season! He was really tough💪
Thanks for everything this season Jovan. Btw I'm about to send you a sample video of some overlays/graphics stuff you can maybe use for future edits of your videos!
Great stuff Jovan, congrats once again for a great podcast, love it! Agree with everything you said, lots of things to think about for the Lakers management this summer and hopefully we get better and more competitive.
well said jovan..tnx for all that info..👍👍👍
Good job Booohah , you've been great
Congrats and let's ride!
Love the Channel! Great Work! Good point on accountability, Ham never takes ownership of anything.
Great content! First-time viewer and just subscribed!
Well done!!
Great work Mr buha. As much as we can blame the players for blowing leads and missing shots... the coach still needs to take accountability for his rotations and his lack of adjustments in game.
@jovanbuha , great work in covering the lakers this season. I feel Lakers should interview David adelman as well if they are going to replace Ham. Lakers need a good system built for offense with more organized and consistent play calling . Adelman has been pillar of nuggets in coaching staff for years now behind Mike Malone. Need to see if he would be a fit for lakers coach .
Also Trae Young isnt going to help this team. If its Mitchell , yes. But Young, a definite no. If they are not going for 3rd star, they should try to really bring back Caruso in offseason and see if Bridges or Finney-Smith is available. And a good backup Center.
Lakers need key word Shooterssss and traditional center
yes moving AD to the 4 over the course over the season and then than that 5 becomes the backup during the playoffs is definitely something i’d like to see. i know it’s hard to get but a stretch 5 with some shot blocking would be super nice.
Kind of happy this is all over. It’s really tough to watch and stress over.
Great coverage all season. You called it Murray was due unfortunately
I definitely agree with you.
Thanks for all the work this season Jovan🫡
Jovan, your podcast is very good. Ir's the first one that pops up on my phone now. I love your takes. We don't want an inexperienced coach. That would be awkward for Bron to have Reddick. Mark Jackson would be the best.
Thanks for all your hard work your perspective was spot on continued success on your channel we are all big fans !!
Jovan outstanding coverage. Looking forward to seeing what moves lakers make during the off season including the combination of a tactical head coach and a veteran players coach as a assitant. Marginal moves need to be made to get this team over the hump. Hopefully Pelinka makes the correct marginal moves.
Safe travels to the wedding bro. Keep up the good content. We’re here for it. Hopefully the Lakers hire Nate McMillan as the coach.
Also, the blinking isn’t too bad now.
You looked beat last time you spoke w Jason😂 I’m glad the season is over you already look better 😅
Jovan spoke the truth
I advocate continuity. Lakers what they need is a new coach and a center who can be a starter and let AD play power forward.
The roster is pretty good. Everybody at the start of the season thought Rob did a good job. The coaching just wrecked them. When you listed all the things pertaining to that, it was almost comical because it was so glaring.
Best AD season ever. Amazing on both ends. Giannis still more talented and its not close, but he for the first time played like the best player on the team and a true superstar. Top 5ish player
Predicted Nuggets in 5 but this was way more competitive than I thought it would be. Nuggets were the better team but the Lakers are not that far off. Losing 2 game winners is demoralizing but they fought throughout the entirety of it. This will be a very interesting offseason.
We were gonna need to compete with Minnesota bigs next. Get the big(s) we need in this off-season and bring back most of the roster.
21:58 TP put in a correct role and not a starter will work
Thank you a great season of covering the team, Jovan 🫡
Feels like in cruch time teams have reliable midrange game. Who on our squad has that? AR seems closest. Be nice to add that and rebounding 😮
Bro, I almost got my prediction at lakers in 7 but still GG
lol yeah you were two games off bruh 😂
missed opportunity to develop Max over the year. dedicating 15 mins a game to be a 3 and D guard with a minimum role while Gabe was down was a missed opportunity. could have a baby KCP/Dany Green type player going into next year. so upsetting.
When you say the Lakers are open to drafting bronny do you mean with their first round pick or what?
I started questioning Ham after the 1st game. All the hype and to see the team come out looking lost just bothered me. They were having trouble simply inbounding the ball.
Yo, Yo .....the game two defeat was worse, but this one had more implications
50% twice. 2-4. Thanks lakers ball handlers
Heck no for Spencer
Lakers need to find someone that can guard wings of screens. That Abercrombie model Porter Jr had the best post season of his life just running off screens. He’s the one that killed us the most. Our stars played their stars as close to a draw as possible. It’s was 3-6 that failed us.
Our 3-6 are not as good that’s Robs fault
That guy's name is Dwight Howard😂
when lebron leaves, the referees will be told by adam silver to stop giving lakers special treatment. things are going to be rough😂😂
I don’t understand why Ham keep on putting three guards lineup and you have wood and Vando available for this game 🤷🏻♂️
It's always an interesting off season for the Lakers. Tbh, a championship contending team isn't playing for a play in spot. Roster build wise, draft a big man or get a couple of serviceable centers that can bully a Jokic or an Embiid. Second, Bron and AD need a 3 and D passing guard. I would go for Donovan Mitchell instead of Trae Young.Supporting cast, shooting is key from the arc. Finally, get a coach that is an all around tough minded game manager.
you dont wanna hear about the injuries from ad anymore while ad gets hurt in the last game and scores 1 point^^
YO YO !!!
I'd actually love it if Taurean Prince came back. He wasn't bad. He was a great shooter. I'd love to see him back for near-minimum or league minimum and Jaxson Hayes back again. He's got heart. You can work with that kid in the long run. He's young.
And Trae Young? No, no, no, no, no. We JUST did this with the Russell Westbrook experience. I'd rather have Dennis Schroeder than Trae Young.
Let the scapegoating begin!
This will probably go without being highlighted not saying he played poorly and it was an injury factor last night, that aside AD gave very little in the second half of most of these games, specifically in the 4Q. U can’t have 4 out of 5 games where as the supposedly best player you score under 4 points in the 4Q… games 2-5 he scored 3 points or less in the 4Q including trips to the foul line in these close games that came down to a possession or two. I’m sure there are some of you that will attempt to place blame on LeBron for this somehow, but that’s unacceptable and just overall lack of aggressiveness and killer mindset… meanwhile LeBron averaged 10ppg in the 4th. AD started out hot most games but fizzled out when we needed him. Just to add I’m not solely placing blame on AD or even majority placing blame on AD btw..
Scapegoat szn.
I don’t agree with bronny joining the team. Roster spots should be reserved for the best basketball players in the world, not whomever excites Jeanie Buss the most.
Darvin should go ASAP!!!
Hey Kobe what do you think of AD?
SOFT
Rob Pelinka failed to get us a Center that can defend as well. I’m so tired of the small ball bs
can you do us a favor and run a few more ads? I think you made it through a few complete sentences without an ad break, do if you could add a few more that'd be awesome
That's good feedback. Obviously, I'm trying to make money with AdSense, but I'm also not trying to ruin the viewer experience. I had actually lowered the ad # to try to improve that. How frequent was it in actuality?
Plus AD and Lebron were healthy most of season
Its not Hams fault. Denver is just BETTER team. Its simple.
Denver has a closer! That is the only difference!
They missed 9 free throws and several missed shots. The Lakers had an opportunity to win.
Wtf 160 mil, I thought 60 mil a year was bad enough. Nah im good, someone draft Bronny. We need a rebuild, clean house and refresh.
getting Donovan Mitchell will fix everything
This really sucks 😢
First.
lol
did you film this at 3am Jovan?
@@laner1172 Filmed at 1 am. Posted at 3 am.
@@jovanbuha go to sleep!
Fire ham
I feel like ham gets too much hate he put them in a good position to win that series. If they didn’t choke away game 2 and miss 90% of their free throws game 5 they would be up 3-2 right now
He sucks. The players are starting to tune out on him like they did Vogel. They basically hired him for player/coach relationship. He is better than Chauncey tho. I just don’t know how much better.
Updating the editing mistakes from the first minutes of the video.
For shizz and giggles, imagine this same series with...
-JJ Redick (or even Phil Handy) instead of Ham
-Carushow instead of Vincent/Dinwiddie
-Biyombo instead of Wood
2 of those losses were by only 2 points.
Max would have been properly utilized and built into rotation (his height and length alone should have been enough to warrant a try) by a real coach
Carushow beats Vincent and Dinwiddie in every area. Lakers should have come after him hard. Actual 2way, 40% from 3, rebound more, better defensive rating.
Oh I forgot Rick Mahorn, Rodman and Lambier putting 18 hard foul on Joker. He would fold
Do you see Trae is guarding Murray or KCP against Denver? Don't do it Rob, pls
guys kets get JB to 10k and he can finally acknowledge me. i been trying to get a response from him since day one and cant yet. Maybe he hates Australians or something i dunno
I’m pretty sure I’ve responded to a comment of yours before. What’s good!
I’m sick of the lbj x ad era to be quite honest w yall. Let bron walk trade ad and for the love of god save those picks they will need them 🤦♂️
Rui has showed he's not a starter...and Darvin lacks attention. To detail...and front office didn't address a big that they needed to backup a.d.
Think you would have needed an expensive Center like Brook Lopez, Myles Turner, or Porzingis. Don't think someone like Biyombo would have helped at all, would have been played off the floor. AD matched Jokic's minutes, he did the best that you could on him. Rui needs a lot of work on his game
They need a 7fter to start next to ad.
Pay Lebron more, hire JJ Redick as new coach, draft Bronny--sounds like a championship team
Jovan, both Dlo and Austin were playing like trash. He didn't bench them right away. But, they kept stinking it up to the point where they had to be pulled. Please give the full context.
Keep Bron, Davis, AR. They need a rebounder and physical center. They need a consistantly playmaking PG that can handle LeBron and AR also playmaking. Get rid of DLo. Hate his attitude and he's not a winner. Lakers need young athletic guys to go against OKC and Minnesota and fast teams.
The Lakers imo did not really address there needs in the off season no bruising big not enough 3/D wings but even then we coulda beaten Denver with a better coach. Prob woulda had a better season
Keep Lebron Keep Ad Keep Russell get Rid of revees and everyone else for shooters and big man
Get an experienced GM. Bob Meyers is out there
21:07 DLO has leverage 😂😂😂 Really? The word is out that he’s not built for the playoffs
Murray roosted Reeves. And that's how they won in the end.
Dobro bre Jovane... pa kako za LAL da navijas od toliko dobrih timova!?😄
Lebrick james and the lakers in 5 years💔💔🫡🫡
We dont need spencer and vincent no more guards singing next year god pls and dont sign ever again from heat players
JJ ? The guy who said Larry Bird is overrated? No thanks
