“Kawhi, how can you get put on the Olympic team and you can’t even play for your home team in the playoffs”💯
Kawhi will probably get replaced. I can’t see him playing ball in the summer. The man gets injured walking to the car from his house
He's most likely the 12th guy on the team. Honorary position.
That spot belongs to kyrie
EXACTLY
Kyrie doesn’t get the love because he didn’t get the jab
The Trade Merchant, Podcast P, and The Brick Layer are who we thought they were!!!!
There’s no defending Ham, he can’t coach just has his hands in his pockets 😂
And he got sent home with timeouts and a challenge
The Scary part is that wasnt even the best game for the Mavs, Luka did good but Kyrie just avg for that game. If Luka and Kyrie show up for game 6 it may be ugly again for LA. LA had to shoot over 66% in the first half in game 4 and build a 31 point lead they almost lost to beat the mavs. Series aint over but its not looking good for LA.
Yup and the mavs took that lead back at one point! Both gakes the mavs lost they lost the first quarter bad and it cost them then did well the rest of the game.
Clippers are who I always thought they were
Ham doesn't call any plays . Every other coach calls plays When AD is not getting the ball the coach calls a play specifically for AD to get the shot
James sounds like he in church with all his side comments, yeah hmm mmh amen 😂
Why everybody just talk about what Darvin Ham did wrong or did not do in the Denver series? Ham's problem dated as far back as in February when he started Cam Reddish over DLO and Austin Reaves
It will always make me laugh when random people online truly think they know how to coach better than an NBA coach. lol No wonder players today, not even just superstars, but most players lack of basic accountability. Nothing is ever their fault. Though they are the ones missing shots, turning the ball over and playing lack luster defense, with no intensity, no chemistry or urgency, its the coaches fault. Disappearing consistently in the 4th quarter. lol Yeah okay. While also having what many claim as one of the smartest brains in basketball, with LeBron, who is making calls on the floor. You can shamelessly put it on on Ham, let the players escape any blame, but nothing will change next year with a new coach. You all need a roster that can build chemistry with each hother over a few seasons. This age of pairing superstars and throwing random spot up shooters or role players isn't going to cut it. Team basketball and legit team chemistry is dominating today's league. LeBron gutting the roster every season or off season, trying to force chips simply isn't going to work.
Ham is terrible they just don’t want to bash him too bad…Ham was horrible…
He seemed like a nice guy
A day without Shady ... Thank you 😂😂
😂😂
And acho
For real, he is very annoying
I think you mean Acho 😂
-salty cowboys fan 😂
Thank u sir that spoke second I didn't see your name but hella appreciate the love and due credit given
Darvin ham would put random line up in the 3rd and we would lose every lead. Darvin ham went home with 2 timeouts when they they lost a 20 point lead
😂😂😂 2 timeouts in his hand In his pockets while we lose a 20 point lead that’s coaching lmao 🤣
Exactly! Ham isn't that good of a coach. Everything can't be blamed on him, but it's hard to find the things that made him a good coach
How can Ric say effort can't be coached when Tibado and Spoles exist?
Love the banter
No more basketball talk from TJ 😂
Exactly
God this is literally the laziest question in Sports.... Me screaming at my phone ... "Its Bo00ttthhh!!!
Paul George and James Harden got picked up full court
They both looked lifeless. No urgency.
Whoever said “clearly the Mavs is the smaller team” is just plain blind.
Man this show is so much better without Shady and Acho. Joy should take the lead and rotate athletes depending on what season is in. James is even better when he has more time to talk.
Agreed
I can’t blame AD for not showing up , he was the only center & he has to cover for all the players who couldn’t keep their man in front of them
His fourth quarter scoring is an issue because he doesn’t get the ball that’s on the players and the coach
To blame AD is just dumb because they have a chance to win because of him, pure and simple. Sounds like they want him to average 45 points
@@JourdanChaneythat’s on him. Why ppl always blaming role players and coaches
@@chefrabbi2120 he is a big man he needs somebody to get him the ball
Lakers probably got the worst backcourt defensively. D'Lo just ain't it and he inconsistent in offense.
11:28 I agree because I watched Mike yell at his players to box in and double team, he was interactive with his team, Ham was Cleary not, unless the owner is telling ham who he has to start or not take off the court, he has the power to sub and call a timeout and come up with a play to get points like coaches do. The lakers did have injuries to key defense players,
The Lakers have the Roster , just not the energy!!!
Whoever thinks Ham doesn't deserve to be fired, didn't watch enough Lakers games. The guy sucks at the absolute basics of basketball coaching like challenges, timely timeouts, rotations, in game adjustments..
Second year as head coach, don't u think he has room to grow? Ppl talking about Spo as the best coach was he the same in his second year? I remember LeBron wanted him to be fired but pat Riley refused . How long did it take coach Malone to win in Denver? Continuity continuity is very important.
@@arbikoum805 Of course he's gonna grow, but we're trying to compete for a chip and LeBron is getting old, it's just not the right time for Ham
Ofc most of it is coaching. Who’s calling the plays? Who’s giving the lineups? What was the starting lineup in the WCF last year? Vando was a huge part because he’s defensive heavy.
Vando was hurt until the last game, they said he was available but I doubt that was true and it would be hard to through a guy who’s not been playing into a must win game like that.
Mavs line up… 7 foot Lively, 6’8” in PJ, 6’8” in Luka, 6’6” in DJJ, and 6’3” in Kyrie… all with 7 foot wing spans except Kyrie. How are the Clippers bigger?
The mavs are just a good team. Why can't these people admit it.
People defend ham and then talk about how he is a bad coach without saying the word bad specifically. Never heard anyone describe what ham does well 😂 yall weird. Just be honest about how you feel about his coaching ability. FYI I'm not saying the series lose is all his fault but he still isn't a good coach either. Both can be true
Yeaaa love to see spo getting love
- LET BRON COACH AND PLAY - PICK UP A LEGIT CENTER FOR JOKIC - pick up a 3 superstar/ tall 2way player - pick up bronny
I agree, all we need is a center.
This revisionist history "that no one thought the Lakers were good" is so pathetic. They were the 4th or 5th favorite at worst for the title, most of the media coverage was how they killed the offseason and had a great team, after playing the Nuggets tough in the WCF they were expected to be contenders. They were very highly rated. A combination of a flaky #1 who takes too many nights off and doesn't want to be a #1 in Davis, a leader who refused to try on defense and also took too many nights off and some bad coaching (and I'd put it in that order) resulted in them being in the play-in and drawing an elite team in the first round and then that elite team outperformed them in the clutch but let's not act like the Lakers didn't have a genuine chance to have won that series or that they're not a great team who underperformed this year.
12:10 No Ric, that was about Bron's defense, stat padding, blaming teammates and undercover media shenanigans
Fire Ham and Pelinka!✌It took Ham 2 mths to Figure Out He Should Start His Best 5 Players and He Doesn’t Know When to Call Timeouts✌🏀✌
James is speaking FACTS!!!
Really Ric and TJ as well
TJ is always a good add to the show.
Not Ham's fault that Prince, Dinwoodie, Rua are trash. Reeves cant guard anyone in the NBA when it really matters, not Ham's fault
Correct, its Lebron’s fault👍🏻
Dlo been talking bad about ham since last year, Ric, as usual, is wrong lol
I’m 100% with TJ
Who’s this analyst that doesn’t want to give Mavs credit? Guy is not the smartest. His excuse is Clips didn’t play with energy, 😂
Why are all former pros claiming the Lakers as "our team"?
The roster was good enough. Ham had a terrible offensive scheme. AD didn’t get points in the 4th quarter because the other team adjusted but Ham didn’t. Denver’s best 2 players touched the ball every time down in last 3 minutes. Because the offense is designed to get them good looks.
Not against Denver it wasn't. It won't be good enough for the next coach either but you'll see.
@@Maxrepfitgm double digit leads in all 5 games. Coaching gets you over the collapses. A better coach will play the right combination and exploit the right matchups. The 3rd quarter was the pivotal quarter of every game yet Ham made no adjustments from game 1 to game 5.
shaq and Kobe didn't win until Phil Jackson Arrived...same rosters
They were in their primes tho.. Bron isn’t prime lebron anymore. He’s good enough to get numbers but he can’t lead a team far anymore, Bron needs to be the second option but Davis isn’t assertive enough.
@@acephalos5026Kobe wasn’t in his prime🫵🏿😭
@@Dipset415 umm he was entering it, he wasn’t past it.. 🤦🏽♂️ id10t
came here to listen some about Mavs and 3/4 was about Lakers lol
This 🤦🏿♂lol
Don't act like it's the roster when all of y'all said before the season starts that this team could easily make the wcf again
it’s on ham to call timeouts when other teams go on runs
Keep doubting is and giving the other team the easy out fuel the fire baby keep that same energy too
💯
Joy should always run the show.
AD should be the last person to talk dude can’t stay healthy and didn’t come off the court and made the lakers basically play 4 on 5 the whole quarter.
His name isn't street clothes for nothing!!!
He played 70 games this year stop it
Kyrie Never Wanted to play for the lakers!!! What a clown 🤡
Meanwhile Lebron looking for new house in Dallas
0:38 LOL
Kawhi needs to refund half of his salary. Hate that such a dominant player can’t stay healthy!
Also he's on the downward trajectory. Even when he plays he doesn't play defense like he use to. Old too. 34 I think
Who is supposed to get AD the ball in the 4th quarter?🤔
In all the games, the Lakers had a lead (even a 20-point lead) AD and Bron was rolling especially AD seemed inevitable... then comes the third quarter, the Lakers offensively became nonexistent. Stagnate, stale, couldn't buy a bucket. AD, who was unstoppable in the first half, now is nonexistent and a nonfactor. You leave the game with two timeouts!! This is the scenario copy-and-paste from game to game. So now Im wondering what exactly Darvin Ham is doing? Cause it darn sure doesn't seem like it's anything to do with coaching. Now I will say roster construction is a limitation and isnt totally Ham's fault, but when you have Bron averaging 28 points and AD averaging around 30 points 11 rebounds what are you doing wrong? DLo and Reeves were hit or miss but you had something to work with and the fact the Lakers came so very close to beating the Nuggets twice shows you how fundamental good coaching is.
Good game from the mavs
Thank u about time someone giving my Mavs some credit.. Mavs up
The funniest thing ever is all these Analysts keep saying luka had a bad game when he had 29/10/10 😂😂😂 ……bro man luka standards are too high for this league
If Tatum didn't get hurt. Celtics would have beaten the Heat. That was a Cinderella run.
The lady moderator is right about the Lakers organization not giving coach Ham a good roster. They did it to the former coach as well... Jeanie Buss needs to fire Rob Palinka instead of Darvin Ham
TJ is biased towards whatever team he likes. He protects the Bengals and talks down on the Chiefs always! And now he protecting LeBron and AD
Clippers always been weak in the playoffs. This year ain't no different
There's nothing wrong with the roster its just that Denvers stars outplayed LA stars in the clutch
Sorry there is a lot wrong LeBron can't dominate on both ends the way he used to at 39. AD disappeared in big moments, Russell is inconsistent and Austin is solid but he is an average player.
@@rooseveltdarbey9493 Lakers play hero ball in the 4th quarter, thru 3 quarters everything is going thru AD and he's cooking and they are winning until they ge6 to 4th
And then another thing I will say about D'Angelo Russell as a coach you understand that this offensive mind is the best at his best when he can be whimsical but you constantly put him in situations to where he has to be uniform that is your fault.
It’s not Darvin Hams fault and who do you hire Sir??
Let Luka do the play making remember at 14 he’s playing professional basketball. He can shoot, pass and rebound.
lol yall ain’t talk about the clippers all playoffs they couldn’t wait
Clippers problem is there is a clear solution on how to stop their best scorers. With Harden you run him off from the perimeter and force him to go down the middle and do your best in challenging the floaters. If his floaters are not going he becomes passive and would just keep passing. With George he has a more diverse scoring but he also gets rattled when you play him physical and he does not have the strength to peel defenders away from him or the handles to lose the defender in the dust On the other side, Kyrie can beat you with his speed and handles while Luka can muscle you out of the way and use that herky jerky movement to get you off-balanced and then both of them can score in more places and in more ways.
If I was the Cippers owner, I would've walked out quickly! 😭😭😭😭😭 PS. Who are the Lakers gonna replace Ham with? 🤦♂️
Sam cassell
Darvin ham should of never double Denver center his wings should of played for the pass from the center of Denver
Spoelstra, coach of the year? HOW? Asinine take! Daignault by a landslide!
Yo the king need to buy three wit KD and one strong rebounder ..... long live the kings
Nobody can guard Jokic in the league coaching has nothing to do with it the roster was bad
So it wasn’t Doc?
Yes move on from Darwin Ham... Go get Mionty William...
No Acho✅️
The media is too emotionally involved with Lakers. Especially ex football players.
Are the Mavs really smaller than the clippers or Bucher spewing some nonsense like he always does?
No lol we definitely have more size than them
Give the mavs Thier respect
SPOT ON Ric! grit was the order of the day game 5 Dallas .....God Kyrie and Luka the Don different. Mavs Celtics finals matchup on horizon! MFFL
Spo is the only coach who’s coached lebron and after him made it to the conference finals.
Lebron is a coach/teammate killer. Most coaches dont make it to the conference finals. Whats your point?
@@Silverfox1982 they aren’t good without him .
@@tezbrime8695 Lebron is scramblin’ right now trying to find as many all stars as possible to try and win. Getting coaches fired, flopping, self proclaiming, demanding his “respect” from everyone, getting slapped by JJ Barea/Jason Terry 😂It’s really pathetic. Is that worthy of idolizing? Enjoy your king’s retirement
@@Silverfox1982 you still haven’t named a coach buddu
@@tezbrime8695 Spo is also the only coach Lebron didn’t get fired. Now that’s some rarified air.😂
And then finally I will say if we're in the fourth quarter meaning for 48 minutes and we're at the point where we're at 5 to 10 points away that mean I kept we the players kept us in the game the whole time now it is time for the coach to draw something up to get us an easy look cuz we've been hooping for 48 minutes. Like a great coach in the beginning of the game when everyone has high energy cuz it's really easy to get everyone easy looks when everyone has high energy. What's hard is to manufacture easy looks when everyone is running on empty especially when you have a 39 year old main ball handler especially when you have him coming down the court every time in the fourth quarter and telling him to manufacture a look for someone to get open at 39 years old if you're telling me that's player you're crazy.
Yea the Clippers shot poorly but defense had something to do with that bc they all weren't wide open
Without jimmy no these missing way more than that
It was both. Clips laid the egg of eggs while the Mavs also showed up and just smacked them across the face with the back of the hand.
Mavs lost by 30 earlier in the series is all ima say (ima mavs fan tho so go mavs lol)
Wait... Who James talking about when he said: darvin Hamm didn't dribble the ball off his own foot.... Was is DLO?? 😂😂
Lebalco
The Lakers shouldn't move on from Darvin Ham, but they should move on from that dude from Akron named Lebron James.
Clippers won’t extend PG or Harden, PG ends up in a Lakers uniform which he should’ve been even b4 AD got to LA, Harden ends up a FA who ultimately takes waaaay less than he thinks he’s worth, LAC won’t resign Russ n end up a basement/lottery team next season
clippers are the cowboys of the nba we all know this !!!
Excuses excuses excuses is all I hear about the Clippers every year. Medias darlings bc it’s LA
Darvin Ham is a basketball coach. He is not a medical doctor. He was shorthanded every game this season, with his most important role players missing the entirety of the season for all intents and purposes.
If you’re defending this man at this point then you’re crazy asf
@@MRHIMDOWNSTAIRS12 I'm not defending him as much as speaking truth. Gabe Vincent missed the entire season. Jared Vanderbilt missed the entire season. He was without his best shooter, and most versatile defender all year. That's too much for any coach to overcome.
@@gridirongodsCFB Gabe is nowhere near the best shooter on the team lol ham would let teams go on a 14-0 run without one timeout being called
Literally proof they don’t watch laker games
Delusional to think Spol can win LA a title within two yrs with Pelinka in charge of the roster.
Why would anyone want to coach the Lakers? If I was a good coach no way I'm taking that job!
They just letting anybody come on the show smh
Joy: “the problem is the roaster” while the problem is LeBron all day long. LBJ didn’t pay attention when Darvin was drawing the play, LBJ didn’t play no defense and let Aaron Gordon scored his playoff high and grabbed the critical rebounds time and time again, and LBJ didn’t impact the game like he used to…come on…get Joy off the show and let the reasonable talk. We don’t need Lbj fan girls here
They definitely lose wayyyy worse without him though haha
This is exactly why I hate NBA analysts when you say moving the flagpole this is exactly what the definition of moving the flagpole is. first you say he can't stay healthy for a whole year then it's Anthony Davis can't be consistent for a whole year he does both now it's all he doesn't score enough in the fourth quarter Anthony Davis is still one of maybe 10 best players in the league if he doesn't score he is one of five best defenders in the league if he doesn't defend well he is one of 10 to 20 best rebounders in the league. Yall be on this man's nut sack leave him alone. And then on top of that it's funny how I bring up how much you scores in the fourth quarter when you add all year has been confirming that darvin ham has moved the fourth quarter option from LeBron and add to LeBron and Austin Reeves now I'm supposed to be a bucket in the fourth quarter.
Was Ham coaching when the Lakers had double digit leads in EVERY game??? I’m just trying to figure out how LeBron escapes criticism here as your “leader” and “goat”
Lakers owner should make Lebron James as playing coach. Just like Bill Russell during his time. And then will see and Lebron won’t have to blame a coach when they loses.
TF IS RICK TALKING ABOUT
