How many of these Ham hit pieces have the Ringer and Athletic put out there? LMAO it's only been 24 hours I've seen like 6 podcasts and at least as that many articles...

 

[akajae]

Vogel so good he's coached the Suns to 1 more win than the Lakers...

and he's lost to Darvin Ham lead Lakers 3 times this year already lol

 

[noblekane]

vogel's hands were tied and he was always in a lose-lose situation with rust here

nah **** that all coaches have their hands tied to some extent. your a coach. figure it out.

no lets ****ing wait til old *** trevor ariza comes back from injury. now thats what will get the ball rolling

 

[grittyman]

I can see it now... this tweet will be fired off sometime early tomorrow morning.

After sitting the final 42 minutes of the Lakers loss to the Grizzles, Lakers center Jaxson Hayes has lost faith in Darvin Ham and no longer believes Ham will allow him to reach his full potential

Coaches matter less than the "Please, god, fire the coach!" crowd thinks that they matter.

Coaching matters more than the "For christ's sake, the roster is playing like trash. It's not the coach" crowd thinks that they matter.

Bud isn't coaching right now correct?

Budenholzer imo is a perfect replacement

Budenholzer imo is a perfect replacement

Ah perfect you say? From an ESPN article discussing his firing:

Budenholzer's decision-making during the Heat series came under question when the Bucks squandered double-digit leads in Games 4 and 5. In Game 5, Milwaukee had a pair of opportunities to win the game on the final possessions of the fourth quarter and overtime, but Budenholzer elected not to use his final timeouts in either scenario.

Budenholzer acknowledged after Game 5 that he should have called a timeout to advance the ball at the end of the fourth quarter, but he also did not call a timeout before the final possession in overtime, and the Bucks never got a final shot off before their season ended.

Heat star Jimmy Butler delivered an all-time playoff performance -- averaging 37.6 points on 59.7% shooting -- but Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was critical of the team's lack of adjustments to try to slow him down, saying he wished he had more reps defending Butler.

So his star player called him out publicly for his questionable decision making, lack of adjustments and also poor uses of timeouts? Man your absolutely right (again) HE'D BE GREAT!!!

Ironically HAM came from Budenholzer coaching tree. HAM just worked under Budenholzer his last job in Milwaukee from 2013-2022 until he got the Laker gig. Guess it’s an upgrade from student—>teacher

People suggesting Bud gotta be on another planet.

You think Bud, who is Ham’s mentor, is going to take the lakers job after the lakers fire ham after only 18 months on the job?

PASS THAT

If we can get Cappella in the deal as well...

Do it.

Windy is saying on PTI that Rob believes in the roster and doesn't want to make a move but maybe compelled to if we don't do well during this home run.

Rob, you are on crack. The team can't score and has decided not to play defense

Beasley was probably more worried about Scottie Pippen Jr running up and busting him in the head with some weights for all the nasty things he did to his mom
