We don’t say that. You say that after every game |
Seems like the team treats after every loss a must win they come out with a win and then drop the next game after forgetting how they played the previous game that got them the win, lack of heart and passion clearly shows when this team isn’t motivated |

Your coach is just trash...all roads leads to him...AR/DLO can work but you have to put in Vando..NOT IDIOT PRINCE. He not quick enough. EVERYONE CAN SEE IT BUT THIS FOOL. Where are the timeouts? THIS IDIOT LET THINGS HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN..NOTHING. He needs to go and doesnt matter who you get...he is really the problem. |

I still maintain they have talent but Ham relies on feelings at times too much. In the semis he waited to game 6 to start Denis when the warriors took Vando out the series. He had Lonnie sitting there and waited to use him. He see Denis played better than Vando and refused to start him sooner and end the series quicker.
He waited to the last game to take D’Lo out in the wcf. He waited in a series where they lost by an average of 6 points a game. That’s 2 possessions. He made no changes to the final game.
This game he waited to bench Reaves all game when he was clearly being picked on in the third and Wood was having a moment on them in his stretch tonight. AR should have never been inserted back in the game and Wood should have never left the floor in the fourth. They should have had Wood and AD out there. |

Reddish, dlo, Hayes, wood, are not starting on good teams and dlo is a 6th 7th man at best. Fire hamm, but no other coach wanted any of these guys.

You can’t even use that this game. Vando was out there with both guards. Rui and AD out with both guards. Whoever AR took picked on him to the point everyone on the team helped on Kawhi, PG, Powell, and even Russ and Mann. As Shaq said they waited for Reaves to switch on someone and then attacked and everyone tried to help him |

We're putting way too much emphasis on thay 4 game stretch in the WCF.
DLo had a bad 4 game series, Reaves has been targeted the entire year.
Honestly it started on Team USA and once the word got out he is circled on every team's whiteboard.
DLo isnt a world beater on defense but he isnt getting targeted to this level. |

Objectively not true. We dont have pieces that fit. We arent getting blown out, just have bad stretches in games that cost us. Had a ad stretch vs Brooklyn that cost us. Bad stretch tonight too that costs us.
Part of it is coaching but the bigger issue is mismatch parts |

Thanks for coming aboard but you know whats about to happen....time for question time You cant sneak that arguement with me...here goes the questions..which you prob not going to answer...
Who said Reddish and Hayes was good?
Also Wood last team was the MAvs..is the MAvs good?..Were they placed higher than us when they played with him than us?
DLO on whatever team he has been traded to has went to the playoffs yes or no? Let me guess hmm your tired statement.".but but everytime they sat him in the playoffs or he got traded by every team."
Im going to say to that what was the circumstances of each one of those trades?
Who was he traded for? Hint ANY ALL-STARS?
"dlo is a 6th 7th man at best"..this statement here you just hating..but lets give you a question for that.
Why would each team make him a starter when he by your statement is a 6th 7th man?
Why would they trust him to get them to the playoffs? PLEASE ANSWER NO DEFLECTIVE STATEMENT..
YOU NEED MORE TALENT TO CARRY THA KAAAANG? NO you need small TWO WAY players to ;shore up your team.
Who? Ill answer that...DFS/Buyout of Haywood or CP3/Drummond(Yuck)/Wiseman/Boy(chitown or DET)...no one idiot star gon help you....
Thats about enough questions which you prob not going to answer anyway and give some deflective statement. |

And I put this on AD. When the best player on the team wants the ball, he gets the ball. He trumps the players and the coach. It's not about the coaches/teammates need to do a better job of getting him the ball. All he needs to do is ask for it. And he wasn't asking for it. There's no excuse for AD barely touching it in the closing minutes other than perhaps it's up to Ham to force feed it. _________________ The butter's hard and the eggs are chillin' in the dark.

We don’t play intelligent. Bron gets him the ball there. But then again if Bron was there it’s Bron on Kawhi late and AD isn’t trying to chase him around the last quarter. They moved AD to Kawhi for the fourth and the expense of that is energy for a center to chase a wings |

Let’s be real here Vando helped last season but he was not a cure all. When the playoffs came he averaged 15 mins, got benched Moore than once. Reaves also misses Denis hiding him too. Even if he would have been physically out matched unlike Reaves, Denis would compete defensively and help hide him as well.
There was no one that could hide AR out there this game, short of benching him especially in the third when every play down was ran at him |

You still talking about those playoffs to help yur arguement? smh
THE PLAYOFFS ARE OVER...its the present and right now Prince is worse than VAndo...yes or no? a simple question. Vando hides AR better than Prince..you keep playing prine with AR ..you dont have to worry about playoffs this year...1-2-3 cancoon. |

I agree you need to play Vando if you have dlo AND ar out there. I been saying this for long time, why doesn't the coach see it? The offense doesn't matter if you give up more points. |

Maybe last year, teams didn't have tapes on AR yet and now that they have fully digested and figured out the Lakers' weakness, they began to exploit it? That's why we're not getting the same result as last year anymore?
We need a smart coach that could adapt and adjust, someone who could play 3D chess instead of checkers. _________________ Lakers used to average one championship every four years but I'd gladly take one every ten years now. |

How is it that we were able to make WCF last year with this same group though? | down the stretch last year our wins were against mediocre to bad teams. Our losses to good teams.
Postseason:
We were dragged to OT in our house by a wolves team with gober out - playin game
We beat an injured Grizz team- No bigs-Ja hurt his wrist.
Dysfunctional GSW team-
swept by a healthy team without issues.
we didn't have hayes/reddish/wood. Guys that make teams worse. there is a reason they were easily had. A pelinka special. Cheap and no market. That literally sums up everyone outside of Ad, bron, and Reaves. _________________ Iman Shumpert, believes LBJ's decision to constantly team up with other All-Stars eschewed the idea of superstars continually adding layers to their repertoire. |

Vando was everywhere but got subbed by hams boy Prince.
Winning is not the priority for this coach. Getting his boys playing time do they get paid is his priority |

The matchups were very favorable last year. Memphis and Golden State were too small and they could be left open all day and they wouldn’t make shots. |

That’s the issue. Nuggets vocally said they were attacking dlo, clippers attacking reaves. Coach or not this team is deficient on talent big time. |
Your coach is just trash...all roads leads to him...AR/DLO can work but you have to put in Vando..NOT IDIOT PRINCE. He not quick enough. EVERYONE CAN SEE IT BUT THIS FOOL. Where are the timeouts? THIS IDIOT LET THINGS HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN..NOTHING. He needs to go and doesnt matter who you get...he is really the problem. |

How is it that we were able to make WCF last year with this same group though? | down the stretch last year our wins were against mediocre to bad teams. Our losses to good teams.
Postseason:
We were dragged to OT in our house by a wolves team with gober out - playin game
We beat an injured Grizz team- No bigs-Ja hurt his wrist.
Dysfunctional GSW team-
swept by a healthy team without issues.
we didn't have hayes/reddish/wood. Guys that make teams worse. there is a reason they were easily had. A pelinka special. Cheap and no market. That literally sums up everyone outside of Ad, bron, and Reaves. |
The answer is much more simple than that. We won those games because we had AD and Denis. Bron missed the majority of the second half and Dlo missed a lot of games. But we had Denis.
It’s like his first stint here, AD and Bron missed a chunk of games but we kept a top 5 defense with Denis, Kuzma, and KCP and hovered at 480 ball without them.
Last year we had the best defense in the league and second best record post all star break with Bron unable to play and even Dlo out multiple games because Denis and AD is a top defense. It’s been proven in both stints that as long as we had Denis we were going to compete at close to 500 ball no matter if Bron or AD were out, and when AD is in the can best most teams with AD and Denis. And when you have AD, Denis, and Bron they can best good teams healthy. It’s why they were up 2-1 on Phoenix to AD got hurt. It’s why Denis played more than the fifth starter or Rui in round 1. It’s why Vando was benched round 2 in the deciding game. It’s why we only lost the series by 2 points a night in a series we lost by 6 a game when Denis was on the floor.
We need a guy like Denis or a guy like Brown to add to what we have. |

Its so obvious what the issue is. Reaves is a good player, but hes getting targeted to death every game and his offense just isnt good enough to make up for the difference |
We have built him up enough by claiming he is near untouchable. He should be the one to be traded.
DLo just needs to man up now and play like he has been playing every single night. |
Lakers reporters have been trying really hard to juice up his value but I think the Lakers front office would move him if it meant a better player was coming back. I think it’s just really hard to find a deal where you get a better player in return. They would likely need a 3rd team involved with lots of draft capital who saw Austin as a guy who would take them over the top. |
