I'll say it again. When the action gets hot and heavy, Darvin Ham watches the game like a fan, totally forgetting he's the coach.

[@imbrzyant]

So true

[@TheOldYellers]

Ham is not capable of leading this team to wins. How do you lead a 20pt collapse. The players got completely away from what was working. His subs and lineups were terrible in the 4th when it mattered. No bench scoring. Vincent no help dinwiddie no help. Malone coached to win. Lebron missed 3 layups and two free throws. Rui same. Missed layups. Focus. Make the shots. Lose by 2 with 6 missed layups. Lakers look confused and lost for way too much. Standing around watching James. Hoping he saves us. Ham never takes any responsibility. He pisses me off

[@greggyamisial4047]

Lebron is on the floor. How is it Ham's fault? You have two top 75 players. I expect them to know.

[@MmmScotty]

@@greggyamisial4047thanks to lebron we even had a chance to win the game.. what offensive set did we run in the 4th successfully? Nothing.. we close the game with 2 timeouts and a challenge in the bag, one of those saved timeouts could have been used to challenge the Murray foul but he didn’t even try. Ham is a milkdud headed moron now tell me how it’s lebrons fault? Is lebron supposed to draw the plays up, formulate a defensive game plan, call timeouts, and focus on his own game at the same time ? Is that the only way he doesn’t get the blame?

@@WopJrit’s over! 10 straight losses to Denver. What are Lakers fans going to do for fun this summer after the season ends Saturday?

[@LakerTriangle]

​@@WopJrstop acting like the other 8 games before that for 10 in a row don't show a trend... You think Denver will loose the next 4/5????

[@WopJr]

@@LakerTriangle is that what i said? no. i said its far from over. and considering its still AT LEAST two more games to play i would be correct.

[@jaimeperry7326]

@@WopJr yeah we just need to win 4 of 5 against a team we've lost 10 straight against ... it's over.

[@thisismylife0722]

Lakers need to take care the ball and stop throwing up shots and attack the basket. Lakers is too good to be losing games they’ve had the lead and on come on Lakers it’s our time let’s do this….

[@dr.cheryldenegall4987]

Here we go again!!💛💜💛💜

[@DevinStone-sf9vn]

Gotta win games 3 and 4 I believe they can get it done 🔥🔥 last night was tuff gotta move on and play like it’s game 6 or game 7 gotta be more physical

[@louie2xx]

We need more size fr

[@timothygilchrist2900]

Lakers new starting 5 should be Gabe, DLo, Vando, LeBron, and AD. Have Gabe guarding Murray, DLo on KCP, Vando on Porter Jr, LeBron on Gordon, and AD on Jokic. That's the winning formula to defeat Denver. Have Rui, AR, Prince, Wood, and Haynes coming off the bench. No Spencer!

[@jeromehairston3936]

Always keep your eye on on the ball and whoever's you're guarding on defense and try to get stops or rebounds but that's just to simple right?but it's up to the coaching staff to make sure everyone gets the game plan

[@cjvaye99]

at this point i dont care about winning the series. can we just get a game?!!? PLEASE!!

[@Mark73172]

That shot went in and finished me, but freed me from the torture of the second half. I feel like half myself today and I don’t wanna watch NO sport shows except this one

[@victorianicolehughes4291]

Let's Go Lakers

[@jaycastillo7851]

Darvin Ham slices reminds me of Henry Winkler, who olated the coach on the water boy.

[@jfowler7604]

I check in on the pod and saw Lakers up by 18 and thought "OK maybe." Had to log off for a while but then checked back at beginning of the 4th and saw we're up by 10 and I thought "we're in trouble" .... sure enough!

[@papadiom9260]

Exactly what I did ! I knew we wouldn’t hold that lead so I logged off and came back and was sure we were in some type of trouble !

[@tonypapas9854]

Reaves is fun, but......if someone offers a lot for him in the offseason, time to move him for some defensive help and size.

[@TheGoat4427]

I've learned a lot since I started watching this youtube channel but the one thing i will never forget is to NEVER SAY DIE. This Series Anit Over Yet!

[@DOgiePhillips]

I was hoping that they would keep Vando's return secret, like Darvin Ham's secret adjustments!! So that in the middle of play Vando could come running out of the stands, onto the floor and clobber Jamal Murray in the back of the head with a steel folding chair!!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@BobbyMontiel619]

That's a dope hat

[@broderickjohnson1427]

Not understanding why a guy who's starting only gets 9 points in 30 plus mins, is still playing major mins ,HELL NOOOOOOO!!!!

[@SkySkier]

Would have been nice to make a layup once in awhile.

[@Dolphland0880]

I’ve lost sleep since game 2 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@theapex1120]

Where can we get that T-shirt?

[@Beyond_Camping]

Comeback stronger next year Lakers. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@kaferrat]

It's gonna be pretty much the same trash roster & the aging Queen will be a year older. 😑Same thing happening as right now. 🤣

[@janaeyemd]

Trevor I like your shirt! Where can I get that? I’m from the Philippines thanks

[@michaelcodelmar9547]

Bad day yesterday.. just stared after that Murray's GW shot and had a smoke asking.. What the hell happened?

[@jamesmorris701]

Didn't we have these same conversations last yr

[@JL-ru2bu]

No need to risk him getting worse now after last night. Just let him get to 💯 and ready for next year

[@user-yo4hu9qp2d]

Idk I’m just saying it to get this off my chest but history always repeats its self we take a trip to for years ago when the lakers was in the bubble and we won in six AD game winner over them in game two idk if the series ends in six and the nuggets win I might cry

[@herusun3654]

I feel that AD comment was about Ham and was directed at the front office. This game was lost when Denver cut the lead from 20 to 10. The Lakers started walking the ball up trying to play keep away and Denver smelled blood in the water. The 1st time LeBron walked the ball across the timeline in the 3rd, Darvin should have called time out and told them we gotta keep our foot on the gas and if you can't go, tap out and I'll get you a sub. DLo was on fire in the 1st and Ham subs him out at the 6 min mark like this was a regular season game. We know DLo can go nuclear when he's got the hot hand, but Darvin doesn't know his players or the True Lakers mentality and he's in the post season of his 2nd season... I remember a day when the Lakers would have approached this game like a game 7, but the Mamba is no longer with us....

[@JWickyJr13]

And whenever Denver does lose their heads a little, guess what, Malone calls a freaking timeout and resets!

[@percilitoguinto]

For me even though the Lakers lost i can see it clearly that the Lakers team have already the Denver number and they figured it out its just amatter of time,timing and patience.i believed that they will win game 3 and 4 what ever happens its all abouth destiny doing its work🙏🙏🙏

[@nixonkwanzaatimothy286]

They need to give Max at least 10 minutes too see how he plays. Hell we’re not getting anything from Spencer!

[@erikdayne5429]

Didn’t Ham say after game one that everything would be fine? Because everything does not seem to be fine.

[@dezmondbeatty943]

I was speechless after the loss like I couldn’t feel anything I was numb 😢

[@clevonmendoza8027]

Lakers get too comfortable once they have a lead. They need to keep that lead.
