The problem with D’Angelo is he’s a horrific defender, so if his shot isn’t falling then he’s a net negative. Doesn’t help that he’s historically performed bad In the post season throughout his career. teams put athletic wings on him and shut him down.

I remember playing for a coach, he used to start players worse than me, he gave me minutes during the 4th quarter when we were down 14 and I just played lockdown D and we came back and forced overtime off of that time. I was sick so I asked to be subbed out real quick to catch my breathe but still gave it my all for the 7-8 minutes i got that single 4th quarter. (Which was all I got lol). Then he played his favourites and never let me back in even though we played great with my defense. So we got eliminated in overtime. Sadge

All I keep hearing is DLo doesn’t perform in the playoffs but I watched him win us two games in Memphis and 2 with golden state ! Then I watch the lakers revert back to the Lebron system vs Denver removing the ball from DLo and austin and more to Lebron in a spread ! To be honest , the person who I saw disappear in the playoffs was Lebron !

The front office got this roster with only crumbs to trade with. Pair that with a Lebron who's no longer playing defense, not to mention missing strategic games to prolong his playing ability, and a coach who is so dumb sometimes it baffles me who's not even a laker fan.

Hes been in a massive slump since the Cavs game a week ago. Seems that Gabes return has messed up the chemistry a bit and Dlo and Ham are beefing again. Ham plays favorites has no urgency and has zero understanding of mementum or even how to set a balanced lineup. Still instead of pouting Dlo needs to step up after all that killer talk at the deadline. Is deadline Dlo dead? Killed by playoff Dlo.

If you think he's a great coach then that's great I was definitely excited when he first got here. But not anymore.

DARVIN HAM = LUKE WALTON 2.0😩. Been saying it since the beginning; a rookie coach with no proven HC experience. That’s a recipe for failure as historically shown. The Buss keeps thinking that lightning will strike twice and another Pat Riley is in the making. It would have already shown by now if Ham is a championship coach; which is clearly shown he is not. Blaring weakness is that he is clueless about adjustments that she made. Getting swept is a clear sign of failing to adjust; 4-0 loss to Denver😢.

You fans are ignorant and delusional of a coaches role. Scorned players always yell a coach playing favorites when they not producing or getting benched. DLo was SUCKING on offense and defense thats why he was benched. It had zero to do with Schroeder last year or this year. Rui sucked early or was constantly injured, Reaves was worn out from fiba and played poorly and thats why he was benched. Plus Vando has been injured all year. Thats the reason Cam and Prince were out there. Laker fans were calling for Rui and Dlo to be traded early. Yall had every player on earth in these trade scenarios. But now it was the coaches fault they sucked? Bron actively had a hissy fit that these guys weren't traded.

[@mando1637]

I still stand by my take of the Timberwolves trade being one of the worst. They could’ve drafted Kessler and kept all the picks to build a little better around Ant. I thought in the draft Kessler would be exactly what Rudy Gobert was, but a lot younger… and I was right. And I think if they could’ve gotten Pat Bev back, Ant would be a lot better on defense (not saying he’s bad right now, but he would force the team to take no plays off). And the team would still be one of the best defensive teams while being a bit young, opening their Championship window a bit more.
