Quotes like this from a head coach are wholly and completely unacceptable: “I’m tired of people living and dying with every single game we play,” Ham said. “It’s ludicrous. Actually. Like, come on, man. It’s a marathon.”
Dude. While it may be a long season it does happen to be one in which every game does fucking matter. The Houston Rockets currently have a better record than the Lakers. Your excuses are tired and lame. There’s nothing about your post game press conferences that indicate you understand how poorly this is all going right now.
Pull your head outta your ass Coach or you’ll be watching Doc Rivers take over quicker than he can take his head set off.
I can’t recall the Lakers ever firing a coach this far into a season. Rudy T left due to health issues and Mike Brown got canned 5 games in. That’s about it. But D.Ham’s recent media comments have been cringe (as the kids say..lol)
It just seems like she’s not reading the situation very well. Keeps talking about things and the locker room, as a whole, kinda pushes back. Coach talks injuries/health and the players say they got enough to compete better. Coach brings up IST, Bron says it was two games.
It’s just a bad look all around. While I doubt they would hire Doc outta the ESPN gig I could see promoting Handy but not too sure what difference it would make. Rookie Coach + LeBron x his legacy = where we’re at. I think you brought up the magical run to the WCF when we rocked hard on an easy ish portion of the sched, had a favorable seeding and a lot of off season choices were based on that. Feels like a lotta eggs got put into that basket and while it’s all well and good for fans to get all feel good vibey (personally guilty on that one) GMs and decision makers need to be cool headed. Still time to pull outta this nosedive but it’s gotta start sooner than later.
