- Lakers star Anthony Davis wasn't happy with the team's lack of organization after their loss to the Denver Nuggets in game 2 and expressed his thoughts to the media, which many saw as a shot at coach Darvin Ham. Ham reacted to those comments after Lakers practice, as Trevor Lane breaks it down...

The frustration between the players and their coach & all the shit they’ve talked all season about him has been so clear.
Exactly, we been crying all season long about this yet nothing was done.
It only took 2 years for laker nation to figure out that the coach is a clown.
@@WavesBland26 “ players were fine with him leaving” ??? What about how Rob sabotaged Vogel with the team he put together
Listen LeBron is a great player I have no hate for the man but if you watched the game the Lakers were up by 20 when LeBron had 12 points & 10 assists, letting AD go to work, & DLO be aggressive the minute he decided to start going iso ball the Nuggets got all the momentum & came back but LeBron ended up with 26, 8 & 12assists so on paper when you look at the box score it doesn’t look like he was the reason they lost, but at some point ppl need to see what the problem is. LeBron can go stat pad & go iso mode against any other team but it’s not working against the Nuggets, at some point we have to stop blaming every negative thing on Darvin Ham & actually look at the real problem!
Game 1 when Lebron seen DLO didn’t have it going he literally kept feeding him the ball & refused to shoot in the 2nd half but game 2 when DLO & AD have it going he wants to play iso ball the whole 2nd half?
@@kingrambo519 lol it’s a lot deeper than just lebron , is he blameless ? No but it’s a lot deeper than that
I’m not surprised by Ham, all season he never took accountability, “players just need to run faster.”
Did lebron take accountability for his 7 turnovers & disappearing act game 1? Did he take accountability for trying to play hero ball the entire second half of game 2? Oh I forgot everything that goes wrong on LeBron led teams is always somebody else’s fault lmao every coach gets fired every teammate is in trade talks every season yet y’all don’t see the common denominator 💀😭
Yea or players need to just play harder. Lol this guy is a joke !!
Lebron scores 8 consecutive point down the stretch on break down plays… just 8 points becaus Lebron is THAT GOOD and it kept us in the game… You can’t ignore that without Lebron our lead is gone at 8 minutes or so in the fourth. His one mistake with 10 seconds didn’t lose us this game.. his 20 correct decisions in the fourth leading up to that, was our only hope of winning despite our obvious lack of coaching direction and defense scheme
@@kingrambo519 Tell us honestly, do you really think Ham is a good coach? Bron has a fair share of blame and so are the other players. But please do enlighten us what makes Darvin good. With every good one you put, ill give you 3 bad.
Took accountability for IST.
Coach need be fired
Yeah the same thing every time.

Wtf you talkin about, Dopey Darvin STAN?lol
Darvin is the reason why my gf cheated on me
Coach dont play. These are professional basketball players.
He's getting fired. He's so getting fired with how much he's been deflecting all season
Report came out that he is not getting fired unfortunately
not if they win the series
No. Jeanie said she loves him so I doubt it.
Thank you those who actually keep up with the news instead of hoping and dreaming for shit.
@@michaelwise4343Youre buying into a FAKE NEWS report spewed by an obvious Bron hater unfortunately
Fortunately, Dopey Darvin is 100 pct getting fired
Darvin Ham saw how exhausted his players were in the 4th quarter and refused to use a timeout or challenge. He saw the lead disappeand and still refused to use timeout we ended the game with 2 timeout, and no coaching.
It is possible that Ham is well aware of that he had no idea what to say when the timeout is called.
@@kuanchiaowang7591 timeouts can be used to give your players rest at the least
@@kuanchiaowang7591 Players still needed rest. Players still need coaching in playoffs. What is the point of being a coach or hiring a coach who doesnt lead?
I agree that a timeout is always needed to allow your players to rest and to cool down the opposing team getting hot. But i also believe that he dislikes calling timeouts because he doesn't know how to draw up plays. All he says is "lets play with more energy and hands up on defense"
I don't think it's the matter of refusing to use timeouts. He just doesn't know how or when to use them. Get rid asap.
Mike Malone is Playing chess... Darvin Ham is playing Hungry Hungry Hippos 😂
Lmao
Magoo playing chutes and ladders,most basic game there is ,like his "coaching" while Malone on the PS5
I miss frank vogel lmao
At least he was actually coaching. The suns might be 0-2 also but they got to 60 wins with him actually coaching.
He suck too lol rondo and Jason kid was carrying him while he was coaching us lol
Frank's team is down 2-0 too and his team looks just as lost lol
Haha
@k1vgjohnnys891 you my friend hit it dead on. When they went thru those dry spells rondo hit a bucket or rondo and kidd had enough sense to get AD the ball.
Ham's ceiling is an assistant coach.
I wouldn’t say that. But he’s not ready to lead a championship team at this stage.
Yep he’s a better assistant he won a championship as an assistant for the bucks
@@zingisamahlaselanah better assistant look at Milwaukee he was the assist
😂😂 facts
He shouldn’t be in the league coaching at all
We can see the disorganization from our tv’s… man I’m so sick of ham
But you’re not sick of the players half ass effort, lazy passes, lebron had 7 turnovers game 1 & disappeared the 2nd half, Rui hasn’t even showed up to the series neither has Austin Reaves or the lakers bench but yeah let’s let the players off the hook an make excuses for them while placing all the blame on the one guy not on the court lmao
@@kingrambo519found Hams burner
@@kingrambo519Austin has been doing a great job on Murray
@@kingrambo519 not saying players are innocent in this but… if players are not playing hard, that means the coach is not coaching them properly and letting it happen. Ham has a very passive demeanor and that’s not what this team needs. But above all things, the coach needs to know his X’s and O’s and have the ability to make adjustments and have understanding of the roster to help the team be successful. I believe ham does none of those things.
@@kingrambo519bro Darvin let Denver tie the game in the last minute by not challenging the foul call on LeBron. Ni99a went home with a challenge and 2 timeouts in his pocket. That man is the definition of incompetent.
Can’t wait until he’s fired
Player: I'm confused
Darvin: no, you're alright
AD is 100% accurate. Of course ham downplays it. Ham hasn’t taken responsibility once for anything this whole season
The eye test says different; Ham is malfunctioning, and he doesn't have a clue
It’s crazy cause AD is literally telling him that they don’t know what they are doing at times and this man said he disagrees how are you can you disagree with that ?
@@lee9526It's not like AD is a bench player or anything either. He's one of the 2 captains on the team. Tragic. Have fun in Cancun before you start your new job in another city next year coach.
@@thisguyshaun4732 lol facts
Yea, he classically blames the players for all things bad, but good things he wants the credit for.
Yeah...lets contrast this with Micheal Malone. Who calls out his team for BS every time they slack off and the response is "he is right, we will do better". That is a well run organization
Screw the Nuggets. Let them enjoy this 5 minutes in the Sun. Then its back to obscurity. Remember, the Heat and Warriors are well run too.
If you expect Ham to call out his team for BS, then he'd never stop talking and it's all he'd ever talk about.
@@andremiller1566 Totally agree....we are enjoying this time in the sun for as long as it will last. And the Warriors used to be run well, now they are a hot mess
I just want to know how do you play Rui for 38 minutes and he only scored 3 points, and let's not forget the 7 he scored in the first game.
@@thetunkmaster Jesus Mary Mother of God. Lakers fans are so f'ing fickle. When they play DLo you want Rui, when they play Rui you want Reaves. PICK A STARTING 5.....with 2-3 subs. Its the playoffs, play your best 5. You can't say "Rui stops Jokic so AD can roam" then turn around and say "dont play rui"
This is why the Lakers are flakers. The Nuggets play the same starting 5 win or lose. NO ONE called for Murray to be benched after 3 quaters despite having a bad series so far because everyone knows he is one of our starting 5. I can see why no coach can last 2 seasons with you whiners.
Gaslighting the fans and publicly dismissing your star player won’t help keep your coaching job. Time to get at least one of coach, GM and owner who knows what he’s doing.
They need to be Iike Rajon Rondo. What you do during the play you make it up as you go along. Like he says you feel the game.
I would hire Rondo or JJ Reck or both, HC and Assistant.
Spoiler alert:
Lakers players didnt avoid playing Denver in the 1st round because they didnt want to save Dopey Darvins job
lol
That thought crossed my m8nd. Losing to Denver a second time would surely put the nail in his coffin. 🤣
Listen LeBron is a great player I have no hate for the man but if you watched the game the Lakers were up by 20 when LeBron had 12 points & 10 assists, letting AD go to work, & DLO be aggressive the minute he decided to start going iso ball the Nuggets got all the momentum & came back but LeBron ended up with 26, 8 & 12assists so on paper when you look at the box score it doesn’t look like he was the reason they lost, but at some point ppl need to see what the problem is.

It is what it is
@@kingrambo519 "no hate for the man". Dude you're all over this comment section saying stupid shit like it's all on Bron lmao.

When we lose the series , darvin immediately got to be relieved of his duties
For someone the organization sees as the future of the franchise it's crazy how little the Lakers listen to AD.
Jeannie is a drunk and Pelinka is her puppet, only has job cause of KOBE RIP,both need to go
Last time they did, we got westbrick😂
Why did Ham stop going to AD??? It was working! Why stop????
@therealuncleill because LeBron holds the ball to much and turn overs
AD in foul trouble
@@chkeightzerofive that doesnt add up look at 2020 and 2021. A real coach coachs look at brons runs w/ty lue and spolstera.Simple fact darvin ham isnt cut out to coach a team like this.
@@chkeightzerofive so your in the huddle? How many turnovers are guys not cutting hard or coming to the ball? They stand around too much. You don't know anything about basketball.
Ham only wants his guys to play good,when his guys play good,prince,reddish they get more time . When those who are not his guys play good they stop getting ball and/or playing time Wood,Christie,Dinwiddie
Fire Ham Play Dinwiddie with Dlo, Rui, Lebron and AD. In the starting line up and bring Gabe,Reaves,Prince Vando and Wood off the bench.
Fr. That's been the answer all season. Yet ham loves throwing out his 4 guard lineups
@@akaliotp6766 Ham has always been the problem.
Darvin Ham is the biggest reason Lakers are 0-2 this series and 0-10 in the recent past against Nuggets.
Totally agree
You got your STAR player telling you we dont know wtf we're doing out there on the court at times... and the coach says i agree to disagree.😂😂😂😂 Man if yall dont get Darvin tf up outta LA.😂
I mean they were up 20 in both games against the defending champs. So obviously something was working right?
LeBron James also!!!
There’s a universe out there where Darvin Ham got fired immediately following Game 2 and Phil Handy replaces him as interim head coach, Lakers win 4 straight and go on to win the chip and Phil Handy gets the head coaching job to start 2024-2025 season
After Game 2, I said he needed to be fired immediately.
That scenario only happening in your delusional mind. 😑😜
@@kaferrat That was the right course to take but the Colombia products consumers brain is being cooked by the white smoke.
The fact that Denver came back from 20 down and with a minute left ham was smiling…..instead of getting tough on his players says it all.
Ham Sandwich is COOKED.
You should have said.....Rotten Ham Sandwich is well-done cooked.
😅🤣😂😆😅overcooked and burnt!😝
LMAO 😂 Good one!!
This blowing 20 point leads is on the lineups and coach
Darvin Ham and his coaches need to go!!!! He should have stayed in Milwaukee!!!!! Goodbye you putz!
AD saying it’s no adjustment if plan
A doesn’t work
Sayonara, Darvin.
I think it's very unfortunate. Ham generally seems like a nice guy and all but it's clear he's just not the right coach for a team that's trying to conpete for and win a championship. From deciding to not use the starting 5 that got you to wcf until 60+ games into the season to failing to use timeouts when needed to perhaps the most baffling of all not running plays throughout the game. He'll run plays then around the third quarter he just stops saying stuff on the sideline and it's just unacceptable. Its been a problem for the Lakers this entire season where they will have a big lead and then just kinda free lance and do iso drives and go away from running plays and go away from what worked and got them the lead in first place. We saw it in game 2 and it's truly unfortunate because that's what ultimately cost us the game. You can't have your superstar player saying this stuff basically calling out your coach then expect all to go well. Lakers need a new coach, to upgrade the bench that's been absolutely horrific only 17 points through 2 games and all from prince and to get a reliable back up big/ big to play alongside AD during stretches. We all know they will probably go all out for Trae young but they don't need to. They do those things i mentioned we're more than capable of being a championship caliber team.
Exactly ! I really wish things could work out for him but he’s simply not ready for the HC job! I wished he was an assistant coach and we had an actual HC but unfortunately Vogel got scapegoated by Westbrick!
He's definitely getting fired after the playoffs
Hope he do get fired fr he's killing us
Lakers will be ready tomorrow
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
God I hope so 🙏🏽
To blow another 20pt
I hope ham be injured😂 phil handy is byfar better🎉
@@everythingsinthebox7813 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
The last thing we need rn is the coach and the player not being on the same page
Ham is being outclassed. Simple and plain.
At this point i rather have Lakers fire Darvin Ham than us winning a game vs Denver 😂😂😂
I agreed. Ham need to go
I’ve never been angry with our coach than Darvin Ham is
🧢.. Laker nation hates every coach after a loss 😂
Rondo and Dudley were better coaches as players than our current head coach
Honestly, it would be a spit in the face of great coaching, preparation and due diligence if Denver loses this series. But you should never give up until its finally over. Fight as long as you are still playing. Never quit just because it seems impossible.
The king said it was going to be a 1 or 2 possession game they didn’t close out the game just that simple
It's been the story for the last 10 games they've lost. They stay in and fall apart in the last 5 mins
Ad not lying you can see it clear as day
If your star player franchise player doesn't believe in you, you're done.
Reality is I could coach the lakers and do fine as you have Lebron and AD. Ham is blessed
Like most us, I went to bed after G2 heated than a mfa 🥵. But I came to the realization the team needed to lose that. Team pulled same shid vs NOP and escaped. They didn’t vs DEN. When will they learn? If they stay together, organized, and TRUST each other. Particularly offensively, they’re super hard to beat. TBH, DEN doesn’t really have an answer for them. DEN is just intelligent enough of a team to let the LAL shoot themselves in the foot.
Not only went to bed that way but woke up that way and have yet to fully shake it off.
Not a good sign if the coach is going around disagreeing with the star player
AD probably said that because they went away from AD and whatnot working. Darvin Ham should have recognized that and addressed it.
Makes me wonder if the star players and head coach communicate well at all.
Darvin's entire quote shows he's oblivious and lacks awareness. Please someone hold his hand when he crosses the street!
A.D. 😮 : We dont know what we are doing out there and I chose this time of the Year to bring awareness to the Problem.
A.D 😮 2 pts in 22 minutes
My Greatest Oncourt Street Clothes Performance of the Year
I had Many before like this in the Past and 10000s said I should correct this error in the Game and get more touches and shoot more but all that was Just noise to me as evidenced by the FACT IT STILL HAPPENS TO THIS DAY
Good Pod Cast Trevor.
Use your damn timeouts strategically to give your star players more and longer rest periods instead of running them to the ground. Also when the opponent is on a hot scoring streak, call a damn timeout to stop their momentum and to gather your team together to focus and reorganize.
The LAKERS NEED A New Coach 💜✌💛
AD spoke of truth, only players know cuz they are the one playing the game! I saw our players sometimes running around cuz they were lost of who guarding who…if Ham had a “organized plan” we would not lose a 20 pts lead game at the end.. he made too many mistakes in coaching , Trev’s points are all valid.. too bad Rob Pelinka and front office cost us the season again by hiring Ham…win or lose I’m a die hard fan go Lakers!
There’s many different ways to play the game. They all know basketball at this level. The job of a coach is to reach the players and do what it takes to get the team to win.
ESPN had the odds of the Lakers winning game two in the third quarter with a 20 point lead at 96.7%
It was a sure thing, but Ham didn't have a closing plan.
There is no reason to lose a game with a 20 point lead in the third quarter!
While I agree that Ham needs to step up with adjustments, AD is deflecting responsibility. He only scored 1 point in the 4 th quarter. Unacceptable.
They stopped going through him…Playing iso ball and jacking up 3’s.
@@delnitrawoods755
But that's because AD let Gordon lock him up. So it's on AD. He's a much better player than Gordon, unacceptable.
@@twincitydezray Yea you are right. He should have demanded the ball. Coach Ham still need to go though.
And now they’re going to start fighting each other..
It's clear to anyone watching that they do have stretches on both sides of the ball, where the team is out of sync. Denver is mainly better because everyone knows what they are supposed to be doing..
The fact that we could have gotten Nick Nurse or just kept Frank Vogel who had the best defensive big man, at the time we had KCP, a great perimeter scorer. The Lakers hit the panic button too early after the 2021 run, starting with the Westbrook fiasco
Not everything is about the coaches.
Most of the time players just have to make plays.
Darvin call timeout! If you see the offense going dry
so glad darvin ham is leaving 04/28 💜💛
If AD & others feels this way, I dont think Lakers wont pass Nuggets. I really thought after a ton of losses against Jokic, Ham know how to beat the Nuggets...
lakers fan are not blind
Should have never fired Vogal he was the perfect coach for this team
It is so so depressing to watch Ham on the sideline, dude has no energy at all. I see Phil Handy being more proactive and talking to players.
he has energy to complain about ghosts
Remember, Ham has no track record of coaching. This hire was always a big risk
How can he disagree when AD is telling you lol
"Agree to disagree"...Really, Ham? I can't even say I'm surprised by that response. Ham has been incredibly dismissive of issues the team's been facing all season. He doesn't seem to be able to acknowledge areas that need improvement, including his shortcomings as a coach. This is a problem.
Coach Standing on the Sideline with Hands in his Pockets Playing Pocket Pool..🤣😂🤣 He Has To GO!
They don’t have the personnel to adjust. Lakers don’t have a back up Center, where they can go to a big set.
Lakers need to make their free-throws.
darwin ham sandwich's needs a raise an promotion. 👍🏿👍🏿
Ham has never taken accountability on the coaching staff
Losing Jason Kidd on coaching staff hurts them badly on crunch tym.. just get Rondo man👌
The playoffs are about coaching. And Darvin CANNOT out-coach Malone. Simple as that.
Why haven’t Darvin Ham told the team to run Porter Jr off 3 point line an make him shoot mid range shots he is definitely similar to Klay Thompson great 3 point shooter good 2 point shooter we can live with 2
It’s very obvious that Darvin has completely lost the locker room and it’s been that way for just about the whole season.
I agree that darvin should be fired!🔥 doubling jokic up 20 is super stupidity. I agree coach Rondo should lead lakers next season.
Another thing, notice how Darvin Ham when asked something in press conference he almost always says,” I will have to watch film to answer that question.” This is for sure a flaw. It shows his lack of noticing what needs to be done in the moment.
When your team leaders and the head coach are not on the same page, you know nobody else is... This is why this team usually breaks down under pressure.
There is a 1985 Hollywood movie with a title which best describes the Darvin Ham tenure with the Lakers. The movie is " To Live and Die in L.A."
It's just a FACT. AD is right, by the end of the game they are relying on lazy pick & rolls and 1 on 1s hoping the ball falls. Or we're settling for 3s like at the end of game 2. There is no reason Darvin Ham doesn't call a timeout after Murray tied the game in the 4th. RUN A PLAY. There is no way the execution on both sides of the ball is this bad in the playoffs....
Darvin is clearly wrong that’s why he’s being defensive w his response. Also not a great idea to agree to disagree w one of your super star players. I feel like the Lakers rarely get easy buckets from an offense / play in both games in the second half’s. First half’s they were playing great screen / rolls and making the right play based off the defense. The second half’s they were jacking up a lot of bad shots w the clock running down.
Nuggets get a lot of easy buckets from a well ran offense and take what the defense gives them.
I hope we get a real coach next year.
Darvin is clearly right !!! One more time … this is the best record (regular season) we’ve had in a decade and some ! Our record was worst when we won in the bubble 🌚
😂 how do they not know what they doing with the highest IQ player on your team?
The aging Queen rides the short purple & gold bus to Crapto arena. 😜
Trevor having to explain to the “glue guy” how to be a “glue guy”
Agree to fire Coach Ham midgame in game 3
Darvin has to go this summer. The writing was on the wall all along
Ok so I watched this game again and not as a fan but xs and os. This was on the players and not coaching there were so many opportunities left on the floor. I mean I can't tell how many times there were driving lanes for layups, lobs available out of p&r action.
FIRE HAM!
Sorry for typos
JKidd and Vogel were the perfect coach combo offense defense
9 straight possession with no fg 😒 10 straight losses…… if we lose 12 straight to Denver he needs to be fired
He definitely getting fired now after telling fans not to care about every game and now dismissing ADs comments… He is surely gonezo! Cant wait to hear his speech after he gets fired…
We feel it
“We just need to have next play mentality, even if that play is next year”
Lakers front office is to blame. Lakers should have Tye Lu.
down 0-2, we are done.
I agree with what AD said that in-game decisions are really not organized. Ham and the coaching staff should do a netter job when it comes to adjustments. It's time to regroup and think of strategies that will make the Nuggets uncomfortable when it comes to scoring. Make them take shots that they're not usually taking, if the Lakers can do that we can definitely win and go to the next round.
