LeBron's gonna be 40 next game.

Which means it's going to be an emotional loss.

JJs only coaching experience was his 9-year olds basketball team.

Everytime i see this thread i only got one thing to say.

**** Darvin Ham. A literal basketball terrorist

Redick just went 4-0 against the Kings and probably got Mike Brown fired after that B2B @SAC

Ham wanted to ask Mike Brown to let them know what play they were running so they could stop it.

Last years Lakers finished 47-35

Last night the Lakers played Dallas without Luke or Kyrie. AD and LeBron were healthy and on the court. 40 year old LeBron played 35 mins, as did AD. Reaves was healthy and on the court. Max Christie, Rui, DFS, Vincent, Knecth, Hayes. The Lakers had their team and they got stomped purely by Dallas' depth.

They are now 20-16 which is a 45 win pace.

But...but...but...Ham!!11!1!!! :lol:

Probably its post traumatic ham symptome. It cant be JJ and LeBron driving another coach out of town. What was that, number six all time?

Easily their worst loss of the season. Dallas couldn't win a game without Luka and Kyrie until the Lakers came to town lol. Now 1-10.

Let's not judge until after the post season. Darvin Ham took the Lakers to the semi-finals and conference finals in consecutive season.

"playing good"? Are you watching the games or just the highlights?

If a guy with 30+ minutes contributes absolutely nothing on D, its not surprising they keep losing to a D-League team. But hey lets keep drooling over a dunk and 40 years and all that jazz.

As a Lakers fan, i'd be in a deep hole right now. Theres no hope and no future.

Last year he lost in the first round, that isn't the semi-finals.

Actually.. OP should change 'lakers fans' to 'lebron stans'... it's all this is. Older laker fans know what's up.

I knew what lebron was all about, it's def not greatness when you watch him play.. I knew he was
full of excuses while being allowed to stat pad in that dumb lebron system as the ballhandler LOL.

Had a great dunk and a nice dab and dance with jr after the game though.

Kobe was GREATNESS everyday on that court, entertaining, no flaws in his game and a winner.

I know you can't say this around here :lol:

Lakers will be fine when the cancer is gone i promise you that.

You know it is possible to have a bad roster AND a poor coach.

A coaching change is the easiest change to make, and I don't think Jeannie Buss is going to fire herself. And Pelinka is simply an arm of Jeannie Buss. I used to put the blame on him for their roster construction around LeBron/AD but I think his hands are largely tied.
