Woj: The Lakers part ways Coach Darvin Ham after 2 seasons | SportsCenter 

Most definitely, and i don't blame him either

😂😂😂

I mean might as well sh*t

No no pizza, just sleep over

​@dwjoseph59facts 😂

Facts!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Los Angeles James

they both deserve blame. Lebron because he lacked any hustle and Darvin because his game plan was cheeks

Yes, FACTS...Dude never had a chance really with that roster.

So, you want Lebron fired?

​@@student99bgBOOM 💥 👌 👍👍👍

LeBron gets what LeBron wants.

@@dwjoseph59 but the lakers have 5 different coaches in 7 years before lebron came tho? Do you remember that or forget because it doesn't fit your narrative?

​@@isaiaheto799exactly. People forget that this will be the 8th coach since Phil left in 2011. Even if it was about LeBron, everyone acts like he has fired all-time great. When you say some of the names it becomes obvious. Paul Silas. Luke Walton. Mike Brown. David Blatt

No one was saying this in the beginning of the year, in fact Last year Rob pelinka was in contention for GM of the year because of the trades he made at the deadline

Wow. So lebron ain't the problem? Ok

​@jahiesa5056 thank you, he's just making excuses for PED James

@@jahiesa5056 you mean the trades that brought in Mo Bamba, D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura? Yea, how did those end up working out?

man rob has done a great job lebron choked man they could’ve won this series

So you want Lebron fired 🔥

This dude Rob Pelinka lowballed Alex Caruso and let him leave, traded KCP, traded for Russell Westbrook, traded for D’Angelo Russell, and keeps signing subpar hodgepodge players every year, and no one is holding this man accountable.

No they need better players

Needs to be fired. LJ is handicapping the franchise.

Bron should get fired

Not everyone gets to play with the best coach of all time & threatens to stay retired without him. Last I checked, LBJ got Spoelstra, Lue & Vogel their first rings as head coaches.

@@Reaper13-hi3yoYep, so much detail never spoken about. An wild to think Lebron’s never truly had a great coach. Imagine if he had someone like Phil.

Ham makes zero in game or halftime adjustments. You're a chronically online 🐑

And Ty lue wouldn’t change anything…when have you ever seen a head coach sink his head in his hands and start crying right there on the court after winning a game 7 in the championship? Bringing a title to a city who’s been in a half century+ drought over all major sports. He would’ve traded 5 years of his life to achieve that without hesitation. Greatest championship in the 21st century and likely top 3 of all time.

Then he chose to coach the Clippers 😂. Get that man a bottle

I have heard nothing but complaining about Darvin ham from lakers fans

Bingo. You notice how despite being in the league for a million years not one big name coach every signed on for LBJ? Hmmm

@@drodrig1Cause he’s trash and has zero IQ. Had Ham been Caucasian he would have been fired last year after they got swept.

All some mid coaches. Unfortunately not everyone can get a Phil Jackson.

You missed Mike D’Antoni, Mike brown, Byron Scott… but that wouldn’t fit your narrative that this is a Lebron issue and not a Laker issue

Knicks are getting bounced out of the playoffs soon enjoy it while you still can lol

Lakers are on vacation chillin Knicks are about to get rocked next series they play 😂

New Yorkers are hated by all 49 US states and the rest of the world for a reason. You guys are an embarrassment to the nation smh

@@80timager23 - Let’s be honest. The Knicks will reach the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pacers is a minimal threat compared to the 76ers.

Nobody but NewYorkers care about the Knicks, I still baffled about the fact they actually cheat for this team, sickening.

Yep. Rob Pelinka has made a bunch of ridiculously awful moves like lowballing Alex Caruso and letting him leave, trading away KCP, trading for Westbrook and trading for D’Angelo Russell. No one is holding this dude accountable.

You can't say that. It's easier to let the ppl think it's LeBron fault or its the coaches. Fault. Changed coaches for nothing smfh

​@@lionelgrisbane all facts my boi. He brought back Dlo bc him and Magic were beefing when magic traded him

@@lionelgrisbane Caruso was a dumb move but you can't tell me LBJ said 'keep em' and the front office said no. Come on now

U forgot what AD said after the game?

​@@russellwestbrookyellingatw9381 Sounds like you just described Tom "Shady" Brady 😂.

Coaches get fired yearly. Look at the Bucks.

Ok, let's send him back to Cleveland 👀

You can’t fire a player but you can trade them

Hmmmm that's interesting 🤔🤔🤔

Please Phil don’t disrespect yourself by coaching this 🤡

Totally agree

Phil Handy is a skills coach, not a head coach. It will be another disaster and Lebron will be out on him.

He is more of a development guy than a head coach. He definitely is highly respected. They should bring someone in like coach Budenholzer and run a REAL offensive system to help their role players more. Put JJ as an asst to appease LeBron since we know if he opts in he wants his guy in place. Coach Bud should run more of the offense that they ran in Atlanta. LeBron could still do a lot of primary ballhandling, but it won't be the watch LeBron and then react show. All of LeBron's teams suffer because his style takes his teammates out of sync and when he isn't on the floor there isn't a system to rely on. At the very least, let the secondary ball handlers run the system when lebron is on the bench.

Where he ever coached at? So a guy who never even coached HS should coach a high profile pro team because the biggest loser in NBA history wants him?

Phil Handy is a skill development coach. He's there to train guys and improve their talents, not coach in games.

He has less playoff experience than anyone on the Lakers team. L.coach

@@TheThegreenpi For a rookie head coach he did a great job. When he came in last season he did a great job dealing with that Russel Westbrook situation & Lakers did went to WCF after starting like 13th or 14th in the West. They just against the same team, but Lakers roster didn’t improve from last season. That’s not Darvin’s fault.

If you think he was the right coach for the job, then you are a fool.

and he is probably going to hire jj redick

@@PotatoGunCamperwe found the fool (You)✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾😭

I mean AD probably wanted him gone too. He wasn’t a good coach.

@@PotatoGunCamperthen who is? You lebum asskisser

Facts…😅

True

Lakers should consider Griffim

​@@bradickcleare2293Lakers isn't for rookie coaches.

Facts

I don't hate that idea.

Duh yall don't have championship expectations

@@donttripp Exactly, that’s my point. If Ham can make the Wizards a playoff team, he’ll get much more respect than he was getting with the Lakers. He needs a fresh start with no expectations to refute the narrative that he can’t coach if he wants to continue his coaching career. As of right now, his name has been tarnished even though he’s taken the Lakers to the playoffs in the years he has been coach.

Because expectations are low and that’s not to be the worst team in the league 😂

Just think about Ime Udoka, he got fired , got a job in Houston, and now the entire league has been put on notice that the Rockets will be a threat next year. Ham can do the same. He’s not a bad coach.

Another excuse...don't worry Bronny is coming to save the day.

AD needs to help himself 😂😂😂

They just can’t cut it no more the lakers r done

@@gblair7622 🤣🤣

@@gblair7622bronny trash.

6 and counting.

Giannis is coming for that record

The GM paid Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura around $31 million combined this year and Darvin Ham kept benching them for Cam Reddish and Taurean Prince who were paid a combined $7 million. Pelinka gave him good pieces but Ham didn’t play them.

Same thing I said they lacking perimeter defense and shooters and a big that can lock up the paint and grab boards

Ham was put in a position where the roster have Lebron James. That's the problem.

Bro the whole bench 😂

Lol

He should definitely take Taurean Prince with him. I don't understand why he was getting all those minutes. Taurean Prince caused them the last game too, when he fouled someone shooting a 3 pointer and got a pat on the back by Darvin Ham after the foul. The Lakers were just making a run at that moment to separate themselves from Denver. That foul was the most impactful of the game and came to bite them at the end. All 3 free-throws were made by Denver due to him, while Taurean Prince scored zero in the game, smh.

​@@AJ-bh7vm blam LBJ too!

Naw bruh. TP was solid. He can shoot and actually plays well. He just shouldn’t start.

Dude where have you been? Lebron is getting raked over the coals and demolished on every major sports news channel. And in every comment section. Even you are criticizing him right now 😂. Come on man 😂.

Frank bout to get canned by the Suns next

Completely correct!

Yup and soft dudes were injured that probably could’ve and should’ve played *cough cough* c wood, cam reddish, Vanderbilt.

It's The Lakers, couches will line up for miles.

JJ Reddick

​@@louiehernandez1477 That's what these dimwitted nincompoops don't understand. L.A. is a huge sports market. Any coach would go there just for exposure. Plus we're Lakers fans first and foremost. We don't care who plays or coaches here. We just want to win number 18 before Boston. That's our only rival when it comes to banners.

Thanks for the input levirgin jaynelane8797

I don’t mind being the next scapegoat. Especially if u gonna pay me a few million dollars. James can blame me when they loose again in 2025!😄

lakers aint trying to win they had a winning team only 3 years ago they had kuzma kcp howard and many more those three players alone would have brought some rings

​@@buddymike9exactly what I was saying. They should have kept those players

You and the rest of Earth’s population.

@@treyblaze22Lebron wanted his boys Westbrick and Melo, which had a domino effect making this laker team trash

what why? he's done amazing with what he's been given. We almost had buddy heild and bogdonavic I believe and Lebron's camp denied that in favor of Westbrick. Not only that, they didn't get Derozan, and let Alex Carushow walk for nothing. Lets not start with D-Howard and Javale

No one is holding Rob accountable for all the awful moves he’s made, it’s ridiculous

@@lionelgrisbanehe just explained it , Damm bro you are slow at hearing

This is what happens when Lebron is part of your franchise.

It's already out

Brons burner account show yourself 😂😂😂😂

Supporting cast? 😂

Do anonymous survey of LeBabys team mates. - bet they done with him!

Not a very solid supporting cast a rag-tag bunch of guys who don't mesh as a defensive unit. Anyone can put together a team that gets buckets. Wins not so easy

@@billyyank5807 bro dlo, rui, reaves, vincent, dinwiddie, vanderbuilt....You act like they dont have a deep team that can score besides LEBRON and AD who are stll insanely good.

The Lebron effect. There's a problem with everyone except him

@@khawk1283exactly.

@@tonym.5223 @khawk1283 I'm talking specifically about Darvin Ham. I waited until after the game to see what he'd say and never once did he blame himself. Not saying Lebron doesn't play a role but as the head coach you have to accept 100% responsibility to be a true leader and he dropped the ball on that. Look up a book called "Extreme Ownership" and read it. You'll see what I mean...

FACTS 😆😆😆

truth, its labrons world

Not funny

@@marycoady8587 It actually is 😆

@@TheRbruin10 glad u think so

Wouldn’t be surprised to see something like this 😂

Hiring JJ would be another trash hiring like Steve Nash was in Brooklyn. 😢

the first big sign was Jim Bus hiring Mike Antoni and effectively ruining the rest of Kobe's career. But I have to admit the league screwed the lakers over on two big deals that would have brought cp3 and a healthy dwight howard to play with Kobe at the end of his prime

So with that said who would you hire as the next coach of the lakers.

​@TheForkOnTheLeftist That's why Dr Buss should have had it in his will,that the team be sold and the kids get equal shares from the sale.

If it were the roster, they wouldn't have been up for most of the series. The problem was in the 4th where timeouts were taken irresponsibly, game plans didn't adjust, and instead of running the ball through AD, we have Lebron ISO and no player movement. That's coaching brodi

You must not have watched lakers games at all

Darvin Ham was a massive part of the issue. Anyone who says differently did not watch Lakers games.

He was 💯 part of it. You can’t sit here only observing primetime games and say that straight faced. Us fans who’ve watched pretty much EVERY game from start to finish from October to season end know the deal.

Agreed the roster is trash

It starts with the star player if he's uncoachable then the rest will follow

@@cambury Yes of course! That’s why every bad coach in history should blame their star player for getting fired 🤡

​@@0007tadThat's been happening since the NBA started

@@0007tadthat’s how most white coaches got jobs in the nba when it started lol.

@@jerseystef640 true, but most Black if not all are horrible coaches..

Ikr. I want him

@@TheForkOnTheLeftist God no. The year he left they literally had the best offense of all time. Mark Jackson would be a terrible pick.

His Christian values prevent him from that

Lmao. He will never coach in the NBa again, trust me

@@user-se2uv8cl4p Thanks for your honesty young man, we continue to strive for the best 🙏

@@user-se2uv8cl4pPeace! Thanks! Good info ℹ️

Exactly!

I agree with you. The haters don't.

I totally agree with you here.

He did a great job on defense. He didn't do that well on the offensive side. Also lost 3 10+ point leads... If you're up 90% of a series possession and still end up loosing 4-1 then you're doing something terribly wrong as a coach

I don't consider him being a bad coach but he need way more experience than what he has right now and the window is closing for LBJ so they are prioritizing the Lakers chance to compete for 1 or 2 more years

I don’t he was trash. Blk coaches sux and I’m blk.

LeBromance 😹

If steve kerr gets fired then thats a red flag that maybe it isnt the coaches fault…

Yeah let’s just fire all of the coaches. That will solve everything.

Yes, just like the Roster which was SO flawed to compete in the West. Ham is the simplest way to satisfy the naysayers. The Lakers fire coaches who win rings for them.

Maybe you should just be honest and say what you think the problem is. Because it seems that you’re implying the problem is the guy that’s won 4 championships with 3 different teams.

So Erik Spolstra was a problem? This isn't true period.

Bron is the problem…ahhhh doesn’t that feel better 😂😂😂

​@@erikdayne5429Thanks to Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Anthony Davis. LeBron would have ZERO RINGS without these Superstars.

Spoelstra and Lue had a successful run with LeBron. Maybe Ham was just a mediocre coach

Doing his job means losing his job. Perfect scapegoat for the narratives!

Yeah that slight smile from both says setup to change narrative of LeFired!

@@larryr.burgess3318So AD and the entire team wasn’t also beefing with the coach? He lost the locker room you hater

😂😂😂😂😂😂 In no time ‼️

Ahh….. The COWBOYS have not won squat in I dont know how long. The Lakers have represented the City in the olayoffs finals and winning the chip almost wvery other year. Go home and stay down.

LeBron makes it to the playoffs, has a higher playoff win record than MJ and Kobe. Played higher ELO/PR teams than MJs 4 (2 were ranked higher both jazz finals)-- Cowboys NEVER win and haven't in 30 years!!!

Exactly what I have been saying. They screwed themselves over by trading away the role players

​@@datsapaddlin Hey don't knock anybody's job if people are out there hustling and trying to make a living. From what it looks like, your only job is commenting on RU-vid so you probably shouldn't be talking

He tried to get Erick Spoelstra fired haha

Stop Giannis be getting coaches fired too

Mike Brown got a couple chips with the Warriors as an assistant coach after Bron gave him the ✌🏾😂 Remember Ham replaced Vogel so obviously coaching ain’t the main issue the Lakers have

Nah dawg, Bron is a problem to play with.

You mean the coaches lebron demands?? 😂

He's never getting fired because he's "family". That's the Buss' biggest problem with their hires in upper management. Everybody is connected to either a former player (Kobe, Magic, Rambis) or Jerry Buss.

@@Bran-Da-Don exactly. Rob will never be held accountable because he’s a family friend. Doesn’t matter how many awful moves he makes, he’ll be GM as long as he wants to be

When the team leads most games then blows leads, that’s all in the players? How do you let a guy beat you with a game winner AFTER A TIMEOUT the exact same way he beat you 3 games earlier? Sounds like the coach’s problem to me.

@@mallurypollard7815 I second this and will add on his terrible 3 guard lineups, forcing the ball to DLo, and waiting until we're losing to call timeouts when the other team goes on a run. We should have been a higher seed tbh but threw away easy wins

You a hater 🤡

you should wipe your mouth when you're done

@@lordfinesse4173 🧂

What other line up do you think he can play against the champ? Come on now ROFL

@@unholydonut Dlo, reeves, Lerbron, AD and Hayes. We need AD in 4 and not in Center. Sucks that we do not have actual Center who can handle Jokic physicality. Last time I saw Dwight doing it for us when we won championship.

Actually Ham didn’t stick with the same lineup and that was one of his many mistakes. He kept benching Reaves and Rui for Cam Reddish and Taurean Prince, so they weren’t able to build on their chemistry from last year.

@@bluetech7128 You just echo what I said! Without a true center on the team, doesn't matter what line up Lakers play! Teams, not just Lakers need a true center to deal with Jokic.

They went from a sweep to a gentleman sweep lol. Next season, it's going to be 4-2.
