Late as hell to this, but was there any Black Friday league pass deal this year? Completely forgot to keep up with it.

I see what y’all tryna do in here. ALA was out here predicting #5 otw just two weeks ago before this 5 have streak. Now they tryna shift back to old tactics act like we both not 🍑 . Nasty work in this new Trump era of the Internet. Nasty!
 
That just sounds to me like Laker fans are disappointed with the results of a mediocre roster.

and are blaming it on the coach who is in public,
instead of the terrible GM that put together the mediocre roster.
Focusing just on last season's coaching:

Ham was deploying a lazy defense, leaving shooters open.
Offense was one-dimensional isos and pick and rolls.
Lineups.
No role definition-mixed messaging.
No accountability in front of the media ("helluva ball club over there").
Timeouts.

Very easy to see why the players were not going to play for him again and he had to be fired.

Maxey is shooting terribly. 40% in 2024 is no bueno

He's never been efficient as a #1 option, was hoping he would make the lead this year but he's not yet there. The sheer gravity of Embiid frees him up so much and makes all of the difference for him efficiency wise.
 
I think people often mistake firing the coach as the solution to turn the team around. Ownership could suck, the GM could have assembled a flawed roster, & the coach could be bad at their job all at the same time. Multiple people could share the blame.

We're seeing the discourse now with the Jets & Saleh: "Guess he wasn't the problem!!". He was not the problem but definitely a problem.
