Head Coach Discussion: Canned Ham, Who Is Our New Coach?

feel like AD is saying: play another center and let's be aggressive on the perimeter defensively and have a second shot blocker in case i'm out contesting threes.

 

f***...
Sources: Lakers Committed to Darvin Ham, Focused on Improving Backcourt

CHRIS HAYNES
LOS ANGELES — Having lost 11 of their past 16 contests and on the heels of an 18-point loss at home to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night, the Los Angeles Lakers remain committed to head coach Darvin Ham, league sources tell Bleacher Report.

Owner Jeanie Buss and president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka have informed the second-year head coach that his job is not in jeopardy, sources say.

That assurance from the top has allowed Ham to purely focus on redirecting his team.

"I speak to Rob every day, and we're always discussing ways to improve our team and what we can do better as a coaching staff," Ham told B/R after falling to 19-20 on the season. "It's an open dialogue that I embrace and that is helpful. We're all trying to get this right, and we will."

 

I'll take Ham over b0ron... not by much though
Sad times in Lakerland.

 

i'll take ham over byron, too. the mikes were really bad as well. but maybe bad fits more than just bad at the job.

 

byron was brought in to develop the young guys and lose games. he was a tanking coach

the only coach i would take ham over at this point is MDA because his "3s and no D" strategy is stupid and doesn't get you anywhere. brown was an idiot, but he got the most out of bynum and the team generally played well under him. luke and ham both fall under the same category for me and that's "good assistant, but not competent enough to be a HC"

 

Pshhh. Just run faster and play harder. Right Ham?

 

LOL .... Lamar seems definitely not a fan of canned Ham.

 

Yeah lineups seem sketchy. DLo burn is also weird, he's more a solution than a problem with this roster.
Just gotta find ways to protect him defensively. Defense is a team's thing, it's up the collective to find ways to work, there's a bunch of worse defenders than DLo getting minutes in the league

 

I despised Potato Head brown more than Byron (terrible rookies).....Ham is at worse same as potatoe head

 

I thought this bum was supposed to be a “Defensive” Coach?
He just plain sucks.

 

If AD doesn't go 5-21 on a night without Lebron, we win that game. The lineup wasn't the problem tonight.

 

prince continues to be the only guy who can't possibly lose his starting role.

 

As long as Ham do not use his more talented players we will be buried in mediocrity. Complete d******. there’s no reason that Rui should play less than 20 minutes

 

This continues to blow my mind. And I think Prince has been solid for us overall. But he shouldn’t be locked in as a starter or playing more than guys like Rui and DLO.

 

This isn’t complicated at all. Just start and play your best players. Works in literally every sport on all levels.
