How hurt is he? I can't imagine him missing these crucial games unless he's seriously hurt?

Why are they leaving Thybulle wide open? He shoots 33% not 13%

Some crazy shooting by Portland. Darvin Ham got no adjustments. This exact thing happened last time they played this team

Wasn't Ham billed as a defensive coach when getting hired

He shoots 33% on 1.3 attempts per game. I have no problem with them leaving him open.

10 3s in the first quarter LOL. Somehow only a 15 point game, but yeah, uphill for sure.

Really don't understand why DLo and AD are both off the floor at the same time for so long. Stagger them!

I would try Vando on Dame. He's cooking everyone else.

Some pathetic defensive effort and game plan. A team starts Cam Reddish and Thybulle and you get shredded on the 3 pt line

Ham gonna stop playing drop on Dame at any point? He's gonna break the 3pt record at this rate on this defense

Not much matters if Dame is going to shoot like this. Good lord.

Fire Darvin Ham at this point. This defensive game plan is awful. This dude is sabotaging the team.

Ham is really a moron with this type of D

Needs to stop starting Dennis with Dlo

Needs to stop playing ONLY drop

I consider starting Vando, defense and effort just lacking

AD and DLo both on the floor still at the same time, with Dame on the bench and Lakers not making a dent in the lead. And of course Ham is gonna play like 6 straight minutes without them both into the 4th

Get used to this guys, Lakers have no perimeter defense and one decent guard defender.

This team should absolutely be better than they are, that has been the case all year even prior to the trade. Hambone Ham has actively sabotaged them with his stupidity.

I refuse to believe they cant be a very good defensive team tbh

AD should be all defense, but never healthy
Vando is a great defender, but should be in POA role or wing stopper
Bron (when locked in) can still be a very good defender
Reaves gives good effort and solid overall
Dennis is okay and can be a POA defender
Bamba has serious potential vs certain matchups
Troy Brown can be okay
Gabriel can be okay and gives effort

Beasley will be awful on D
Dlo likely wont be great either, but had some flashes in Minny

Ham is trash
