FIRST THING FIRST | "Lakers make Darvin Ham scapegoat" - Nick Wright on Lakers expected to fire HC - Ігри
Nick Wright was very complimentary of this Laker roster before the season started. He said the Lakers won the offseason. When he tells you today he never liked the roster he is lying to you.
He said he didn’t they do what the Mavs did which was upgrade at the deadline
LYING
I don't think taurean prince was apart of that
no he didnt lmao he said all year he doubted they could make a real run with the roster they had. he only picked LA bc he hates denver
Taurean Prince and Reddish were supposed to be the 8th and 9th guys on the roster and he played them significant minutes.
That 13 game stretch where he started Prince and Reddish and didn’t start D’Lo and Austin when the reason why the roster was constructed the way it was was because they wanted continuity for their young coach.
If they went 6-7 instead of 3-10, their season would’ve been a lot better.
To make it even worst, there was a game where Darvin played Prince a lot of minutes vs the warriors instead of Vanderbilt and Prince was -24 and Vanderbilt was +30 and the lakers won by 1 if my memory is correct.
Nobody with good sense wants that Lakers head coach job.
Nick caught a bullet wound from Barkley’s rant.
😆😅🤣😂
One thing about Nick. He don’t give an F what you think
do i think Ham is scapegoat? yes. do i think Ham is a good coach? no. in other words, T-Lue should have been hired over Ham to begin with. But, Perlinka never know how to build a team.
Wasn't that Jeanie not Pelinka?
Clippers are about to be eliminated. I'm sure if he was the laker coach he'd one of the scapegoats
What has Lou done since lebron left? Plz let me kno when has he atleast went to cf
So if he's not good, he's not a scapegoat. He's getting legit blame then because he sucks lol
LeBron has never played for a coach that will tell him STFU and play the way I need for us to win.
They lost 11 of 12 to one team and no game plan changed from last year to now. Ham is not a good X's and O's person
Yeah yeah blame a puppet coach signed by Klutch lol LeBalco always needs a scapegoat pathetic 😂 retire LeRoids
My question is this: If Ham gets fired, can he file for unemployment? 😂😂
I don’t think any coach in professional sports that gets fired would ever file for employment.
Nick is one of those rare people who can ruin your day at work by just saying hi.
Nah... ppl are to sensitive and let words bother them too much
😂😂
Nick Wright is the best most trustworthy analyst on TV
Do you want fake ass people
Who lie or just say the company line
Nick wears his feelings on his sleeve
He's my favorite
He's real
He's cool
He gambles
He got a black wife and beautiful kids
I love this guy
Lakers love to fire coaches.
Since Phil they have been having a new coach on average every 2 years.
the reality is they keep making stupid hires since D'Antoni
They dont care. As long as they have a top 10 player in the league they are relevant. People would rather watch Kobe and the Lakers lose than watch a contender. The numbers have shown it over the years.
Vogel is the guy that got the raw deal. He should not have been fired because of the mistakes of management and the meddling stars.
Honestly, I think Vogel should still be their coach right now.
He had an unimaginative offense, but his defense (both scheme and philosophy) was rock solid and the team’s identity was iron clad.
Ham is an assistant level coach (capacity wise). He has no business being in that lead chair.
He has great qualities as an assistant. He is a players guy and he is good at communicating and motivating.
His problem is being able to think, improvise and visualize the game.
Oh god forbid we criticize LeBaby and AD
Lebron is the goat you don't critique the goat
AD was great all year .. I agree with the lebron statement .
@@aaronjmet Gayest of all time. No question!
wait what did AD do wrong? he was killing it!
@@aaronjmet A. he is not and B. nobody is above criticism
Nick looks like he could play that one guy in the Harry Potter movies
Snape?
Fire Ham and Pelinka!✌It took Ham 2 mths to Figure Out He Should Start His Best 5 Players and He Doesn’t Know When to Call Timeouts✌🏀✌
Literally half a season
He had Dlo n Reaves coming off the bench for like 25 game
He had Prince and Reddish out there starting games 🎯
I did not see that comment from Darvin Ham 2:01 being about Austin Reaves... I truly thought it was about DLo. That's crazy!!!
Big money comes with big expectations. Especially if your in LA
Ive been saying for years to hire Marc Jackson
The freezing thing by Nick was cold…a pun intended. He Owned Wildes on that.
The Lakers roster was good enough to be a top 6 seed. I am not buying the bad roster argument. Even with injuries, they underachieved.
Exactly. And I also think Ham deserves another year / chance
@@kennethstone4590 No… He is a major reason for that underachieving. He is a bad head coach. He is a great assistant level coach, head coach is not him (not right now).
Everybody scared to tell the damn truth about the Lakers. Somebody have the balls to call Lebron out. He and AD are such Queens
So Dlo and AR backcourt was fine ?
@@blaisereed-jenkins8362 I did not say the roster was perfect. I just said it was good enough to not be in the play in all season.
I thought he was talking about DLo when he said that
Same but austin was terrible for a strech of games so it really could be either. Really could put rui in that convo too tbh
For real why doesn’t Mark Jackson get another coaching job? He built the culture in Golden State……Also Lionel Hollins?
crazy how we publicize that someone's being fired. this is a human being with a family to provide for and personal things he is taking care of, and it's entertainment.
Cmon man… this is sports
he has 20 million reasons to be ok with it
Being fired means he gets most or all of his salary that he signed for. I don't feel bad for those coaches.
@@WordsMatter1982 I didn't know that, thank you for educating me on that. It doesn't seem that bad now.
He got paid 20 millions for 2 years work. Let that sink in.
"They might be the second best team in the League?" What? Come on, they struggled all season, finished in the play-in and lost in 5 in the first round. And just stop it with the injuries! Every NBA team has to deal with players in and out.
Second best team? Not on planet earth. Just wow.
I wanted Darvin fired last year in the Warriors series. So to say the least I'll be happy if he gets fired.
Everyone talks about ty Lou but they must forget at his end with Cleveland people were saying he wasn’t a good coach and his lineups and game plans didn’t make sense. Now he is some great coach? How are the clippers doing with all those star players. Yea kawahi is hurt all the time but you have George right now harden Russ and good role players and what’s happening.
To be fair PG has been hurt just as much as Kawhi. Hard to win when your two best players are constantly hurt
@michaelkelly4314 lakers two best players been hurt just the same but for some reason clippers get a pass but lakers don't lol bron 39 and slow he not even 75 percent of what he use to be AD not strong enough to even take the mantle from Bron. I think that's the true injustice for the lakers
@@pierrechantalcorley7928 That's fair but both AD and Bron played over 70 games this season. They had other injuries to role players but the main guys were there. Kawhi it seems is never healthy though and he's the Clippers best player
LePropaganda! Lebron has never had respect for his coaches. He feels he's above being coached
To be fair, he's never had a good coach except Spolstra and he didn't have an issue with him.
Except when he wanted Ty Lue tho
He did have issue with spo. Remember he bumped him on purpose and wanted him fired but Riley told to go to hell that’s his guy and he better figure it out with Spo
He is above all coaches he is the goat. What point are trying to make?
He might be. His teammates, however, are not. There's always a circus around LeBron. They kill the Cowboys for that, but never him.
Right there is getting swept last year? And 4-1 this year?? Lmfaaaooo what
I feel like I want to coach the Lakers when Bron retires. When they look for a head coach.
How is Brou blaming Rob if he say the Whole year that he liked the players on the Roster ?! It’s on HAM!
I thought he was referring to DLo & not Austin Reeves.
First viewer first.
Hoang Bi for president.
Absolutely no one misses bud in MKE
When your up by 20 an the other teams make adjustments that you can’t counter back most of the time is the head coach
The Lakers organization doesn't have to do anything because despite being a mediocre basketball team with an aging star, the media treats them like they are perennial contenders with 20 plus nationallly televised games every season. Magic Johnson even said, the Lakers still make money even when they lose.
An aging star? Nahh hes already aged 😂
40+ my guy and LeBron is still box offices
Do you watch the games he plays
2 years is ridiculous
Austin Reeves is the Golden Boy. LeBron and AD should take a huge blame. Get rid of the coach isn’t the answer when the Lakers get their asses kicked out the first round🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
People act like the Lakers didn’t lose to the best team in the league. They lost to Denver not Minnesota.
The writings were on the wall...
After winning the In-Season tournament, LA was in a funk for a while before eventually turning things around and making the Playoffs
Ham is a very good young coach but not equipped yet to lead LA to the promise land. Totally agree with Charles Barkley though. What about also moving Pelinka? who ultimately called the shots for Westbrook's sign-in, Caruso's departure etc. etc.
As crazy as this is going to sound, I think coach Ham should have been let go or relegated to Assistant Coach earlier right when Ime Udoka was up for grabs on the market
Udoka would have been a hell of pick-up for LA to bring in the kind of continuity and head coaching we need to succeed over the long-run
Blaming the lineup is stupid as hell, the NBA is on the players, especially when your squad has veterans on it. You think Andrea Iguodala wasn't starter quality? They were a powerhouse because he embraced his role, again which is not a problem with good veteran leadership, the Lakers don't have a leader
Crazy how Ham is getting blamed for the whole thing. As if there's any gameplan for DLo giving you zero points in a game, or Reaves deciding to only show up when the game is all but over, or when only AD plays defense so he's gassed by the 4th, or when LeBron decides to shoot a wide open 3 (and misses) instead of bleeding the clock, or when LeBron constantly goes to sleep on missed shots and allows Gordon to rebound everything. These are the things that are on the players, not coaches. This team sorely lacks defense and rebounding, which is why they haven't been a legitimate contender since the Bubble. They don't have Rondo, Howard, Caruso, KCP, etc. Defense matters when trying to be part of that upper tier of teams.
It really just comes down to Lakers nation being unable to admit that getting swept in the WCF isn't that great of an achievement. We saw the Blazers do it in 2019 and they weren't considered title contenders. The 2015 Rockets made the WCF and they weren't legit. Same with the 2013 Grizzlies. Getting to the conference finals in itself means nothing. You gotta make it a battle, like the Spurs in 2012 when they lost to the Thunder, the 2018 Rockets when they lost to the Warriors, or the Kings in 2002. That's when you can really say a WCF appearance mattered.
I like the Nick with the haircut better
Mark Jack🇺🇸
Quinn Snyder & Lakers Team need each other
I think ham was talking about DLO
One thing for sure we didn’t have our two best defenders cam and Jared hams not horrible but definitely could be better
To be honest, I think they do an Austin Reaves a disservice I don’t think I think Austin Reeves is like they’re actually fifth best player not their third. I actually would’ve had Rui in the starting lineup and been having Rui featuring him a lot more kind of having him in Austin kind of share that roll or whatever.
Hire nick as the head coach
A lot of revisionist history regarding Darvin ham because some of these media heads starting watching lakers in March…this guy cost the lakers at least 10-15 games (I’m being generous) for dumb shit like time outs, playing bench players 40 mins (prince), constantly leaving player open for three as strategy and the list goes on. The team looked unprepared, undisciplined and not focus on details …if that’s not on the coach then I don’t know what is
First this First is FS1
The Lakers should fire Gabe Vincent and Jared Vanderbilt if anyone. They did not earn their paycheck; Coach Ham did.
Darvin really overachieved considering the fact that his best shooter AND most versatile defender missed the entire season.
How much more do the lakers need?? My goodness, they already got 4 players who can average 15+ points smh
Ham is not a genius--but he didn't give up key rebounds and miss key free throws--players did not execute when it mattered
to look for a good coach, Lakers have to look for assistant coaches and also search in college basketball league. Otherwise Ham needs to be retained.
Sam Cassell has been assistant coach for over a decade. 3x champ as a player. He may know a thing or two.
Cassell don’t want that job.
nick did said it, he knew lakers rosters werent that good..
still putting lakers on top tiers and really think lakers could beat nuggets..
Lebalco james makes Darvin ham his scapegoat
Let's stop joking. If ty lue was lebrons coach he would be the scapegoat for losing. He gets little to no credit for the ring with lebron
Charles Barkley destroys Nick wrong
If the Lakers were the second best team in the league they would have a better regular season record
Darvin Scam is sabotaging the Lakers
What matters is beating Denver. Ham can’t do it.
This team is cooked, WTF are we talking about. The second best team in the league, a play in team is the second best team in the league.
As a lakers fan who never missed the game ham is just a bad coach. The constant changing of the line up. Putting players in bad position and having them do things not in their bag he’s the worst at. Half the season we had Prince as our starting point of attack defender. Instead of playing max christie more he benched him one of the top defenders and shooters on the team. A three and d guy who when he did play him he made him handle the freaking ball?!!! What?
LeBron the coach killer
So Ham didn’t know to start the 5 best players?? This is what Lebron’s team wants us to believe??
Yet Chris just called for Muzzula job last week
Fire Ham
They’ll just hire Doc Rivers
Why not a playing coach in Lebron? No excuses. Anyway he's contemplating on retiring right? Perfect candidate
If lakers bring lebron back then they aren’t serious about winning
Wow ; he won the mid season tourney !! Sheesh
Reeves is 9th man on the roster starting and taking too many shots. So Ham should be fired for giving Reeves that much control.
Ham missed a free throw...
Did u not see they played better defense with that so called NOT TOP LINE UP?!! omg stop it nick!
I don’t wanna hear that 2nd best, keeping running into Denver nonsense cause when James harden kept running into the warriors nobody gave him that excuse
Kenny Atkinson is the choice 🙂
Lebytch built the roster
He said doc rivers lol
Should if played max and Vando. Vand9 could have guarded Murray that last play. And learn how to use timeouts.
Also learn how to not stop doing whats working
We cannot know Hows is Ham when Lebron and the Lakers CEO are the one that make the decisions..
Ham is an awful coach. Those rotations in the regular season with no injuries where he sat D Lo and Reeves were fireable alone.
😂The coach is A joke!!!! He will never be head coach again!!!!!
The reason why its so hard for lebron led teams to win is because he never give the teams time to gel.. in Miami he didn't have that pull and they won
Hire Mark Jackson
Why they always Like to hire idiots Like this just to prove a point? LBJ wanted Lue when he came…so…
When you say why they hire idiots like this are you referring to Darvin Ham?
Lue didn’t want to come there
@@bigballer6666 he did. jeannie didn't want to pay him the league average
going by LBJ history, if they hired Lue he would have been fired by now.
@@socalsp3no lue didn’t last time that toxic atmosphere aged him years lol pathetic toxic culture really sad LeRoids retire you will never be MJ never be loved like Kobe
Why are Micah and Hart doing topless interviews?
LeBron changes coaches all the time..
Lbj smh...another coach out because of him
If you remember the ist Darvin had Lebron and ad sitting out when it was a 1 ot game . And Lebron and ad had to force themselves n the game.
Darvin “Hands in my pockets “ Ham should’ve fired himself in the word of Bubba Dubb Trashh!!!!
Hilarious, gets to Western Conf finals, wins in season tournament and now he's trash? It's LeBron and AD when you win and the coaches fault when you lose.
LaBaby runs the team and floor. When he wins he wants to be crowned. When he loses bye bye bye coach
Bogus
Scapegoating is what happens when a team underdelivers. They lost to the reigning and soon to be current champions. They didn’t underachieve so there’s no scapegoat it’s just trying to improve at one of the many positions on the team
Mark Jackson
He was talking about Dlo not Austin Reeves
MARK JACKSON
So the lakers had multiple 20 point leads and were up at half every game…was he bad during all the first halfs?
Thats why if I was a coach I’d hate coaching lebron cause you’ll always be the fault or scapegoat when he doesn’t win
LeLosers once again. Blame the coach😂😂 how many coaches will this be for LeBum😂
Nobody wants to coach this dam team as long as lbj is there. It never fails, when this guy looses its always somebody’s else’s fault. And there’s nobody in the sports media world is willing to call out his ass.
i actually think JJ Redick would be very good on the offensive end but he wasn't a defensive player i rather have rondo
