Watching LeBron play for this Lakers franchise is the equivalent of basketball purgatory. Maybe Kobe is the GOAT for winning 5 rings with these incompetent nincompoops

Hard to say imo. Last year they started 2-10 I believe and then still made the wcf and had everyone wondering what would have happened if LeBron were more like 90% instead of 60% due to the injury. If they make a decent trade or two I could still see them making a postseason run. AD&Bron still have it.

You got to fire Ham at this point..

Still doesn't understand that Reaves and Wood can't share a floor without Davis.

You don't have to be a deep basketball thinker to recognise what works and what doesn't on offense and defense

I view last season as a fluke in terms of how mediocre the conference was. Besides, we're already seeing LeBron and AD playing as well as could reasonably be expected and they're still a .500 team.

Lakers were mostly the best run team in the nba up until about 2012.

Well I think their role players aren't actually this bad. Ham may need to go for them to drastically improve though.

.500 after 34 games with LeBron and AD healthy basically the entire year :lol:

Ham is INEPT.


No doubt Pelinka’s braindead ass didn’t give him a good supporting cast but a competent coach has this team with 5 more wins easily.

Rob is the reason they can’t win a ring but Ham they in no way shape or form should be .500 given the health of the stars so far.

Ham has been bad the last few weeks but man this roster sucks. Reaves and Prince are the only role players you could take somewhat seriously and Prince was the 7th or 8th man on the 8th seeded T-Wolves last year.

8 mins: Reaves, Prince, Vando, LeBron, Davis
6 mins: DLo, Reddish, Prince, Rui, Wood
10 mins: DLo/Reddish, Reaves, Vando/Rui, LeBron, Davis

Do this each half...

36mpg: LeBron, Davis, Reaves
28mpg: Prince
26mpg: Vando
22mpg: Reddish, DLo, Rui
12mpg: Wood

Comical how badly this team gets outshot from 3 every night. They are a 2009 team playing in 2023. LeBron's having a good year from 3 but if he's your best shooter, you are screwed.

Hard to see this team having a winning record until moves are made. Does Ham survive till then?

The only person worth replacing him with is Stotts. I'm close to mentally checked out on this season and hoping h comes to his senses and goes somewhere intelligent in FA
