I was so exhausted last night. I could tell that was going to be a good game. I'll definitely pick it up tomorrow morning.

I also saw Magic-Kings was a similar double Overtime.


Y'all seen this? . This is why they need to stop giving players techs. This **** is dangerous.

OJ, you follow the Lakers/Lebron more than anyone here…does Ham finish the season and who takes over for Rob to run the Bball Ops side?

The Shams tweet already out and knowing how/who he gets his info from, it’s usually only a matter of time before something happens lol

I'm gonna be honest, I think Ham has looked like not the guy since day 1. But I think the players really like him, and they made the WCF last year so I didn't really see him going anywhere. Letting him go right after letting Frank go, idk how you just keep playing that game and hope to get better.

I read the article from the Athletic and originally thought Shams tweet was slightly misleading. Ham is pointing to injuries and players being in and out as the issue and players are saying they should be winning games regardless. So I thought that was the "disconnect" and not really a big deal. But then I realized Shams/Buha claimed they had 6 sources lol.. So maybe there is actually something there.

Rotations have been a mess, I know DLo has been talking about it all year and that likely grew louder when he was benched. Bron mentioned it earlier on when Ham was playing him the low minutes and always having Bron+DLo on the floor/off the floor at the same time. Wood has played well but doesn't have a role night to night and has all of Laker twitter/reddit/etc thinking they need to go get another back-up big when they could probably just play him..

I honestly thought we would just see a trade. Consolidate some of these guys into 1-2 players so that Ham doesn't really have the opportunity to struggle with who to play and who not to play. But now idk. I don't think they can fire Ham and go grab a replacement and expect that to fix current issues either if the current issues are largely based on rotation/chemistry/player roles.. Could promote Handy but he's a player development guy, maybe they think Doc/Budenholzer is the answer? IDK what to think honestly.

I do know that most of the Lakers internet seems to believe that no trade even a homerun is going to fix the Lakers with Ham coaching. I'm not sure I believe that but if Lakers fans feel that way, and now the players are telling reporters they feel that way, Rob and them might have an issue on their hands.

I look around the league and I see so many of the top teams have a marquee player with a great secondary player...Lebron has AD, Giannis has Lillard, Tatum has Brown, Ant Man has Towns, Joker has Murray, Embid has Maxey, Fox has Sabonis, Butler has Bam, Leonard has George, Luka has Kyrie etc. etc.

Who does Curry have?

With all the talk about getting rid of Kerr and other teams with multiple Top 75 guys on the roster needing "more help" does anyone not think the Dubs need a second All-Star level player. The media certainly doesn't talk about it.
