What’s funny to me is how Darvin Ham literally put the entire team in and out of the game.

Notice how Mike Malone talks about facts while Darvin Ham talks about "the energy" and the "togetherness" of it all. The Nuggets are already aware of what they did wrong, and exactly how to fix it. Come Monday they'll be ready while Darvin just vibes.

Win the rebounds you’ll probably win the game. Win the rebounds and get a good DLo/AR/others and this could go 7. Lakers establishing huge leads for a reason. This isn’t like the other series where whose down has been getting annihilated off top. DEN has been outrebounding them and creating multiple 2nd chance opportunities. That’s DEN edge. If you neutralize that, LAL can take this 7.

it’s actually insane how much more intelligent Malone sounds about the game than Ham sounded. Ham was spouting mostly hackneyed terms, whereas Malone was dropping stats and facts. Reporter asks Ham, “does it potentially carry emotionally to game 5 finally winning against this Denver team?” And the dude’s initial response is “I choose passion over emotion… intelligence over ego.” What does that even mean LMAOOOO he’s just yapping

We beat the nugget’s with frank vogel as coach!!!

Lakers are one Lebron 3 point shot make from this series being 2-2.

Darvin Ham is a players coach. He is a great coach that is underrated. You can tell by his mannerisms and although he may lack some coaching experience he does know how to motivate players and doesn't get caught up with Losses. I am gonna go out on a limb and write Lakers in 7. First team to come back down 3-0.

Notice how Darvin talks about, they “deserved” the win, as if theyre entitled to it, and Malone uses terms like they didn’t “earn” it, or they have to “go out and take it”, “nothing is given”. Very typical LA attitude right there

whether the series is over or not the reverence in Michael Malone’s voice for LeBron James coming down the lane is wild in comparison to saying they’re the lakers “daddy” after the Nuggets won the 2023 NBA Championship.

We all seen that lakers can beat this team in offense and can out score them. The problem is exactly what Ham said. You play one bad quarter and its over. Gotta be consistent and keep the same pace. If Lakers didnt drop game 3 i could definitely see them winning the series. The nuggets cannot stop the pick n roll with AD and bron. And all Dlo and AR need to do is play excellent defense and make 10-15 points and the lakers are definitely in there. Unfortunately 3-1 its not looking like a chance. 4 straight is toooough

You’re lucky that you didn’t put Hachimura on that closing end and put Prince on top of him. If you do that since game 2 you already had 3 games to 1 against Denver

It was a solid performance from LA to continue the drive after being ahead. The Nuggets were solid but not as effect today unfortunately. I don’t think LA will walk outta Denver with a win but if they do it’ll be a Game 7 for sure.

I’ve said this now about the difference between the two teams since the bubble til now. Denver makes shots when it comes to it and the Lakers don’t and Denver has the ability to close out defensively on the 3 pts shooters. The Lakers lose focus on defense and they give up large leads.. these games have been close.

This is Lakers peak moment this season eneded the L streak and avoided a sweep enjoy it

So who is the guy that wanted Darvin Ham to be the coach? Yeah.

There are coaches that know and understand X’s and O’s (and not Hugh’s and kisses either!). And then there are coaches who hire staff members that are offense and defensive minded to assist them with coaching their team. I have watched Frank Vogel when he was the coach and now Darvin Ham. I cannot agree with the narrative that Vogel was better. To me it seems as if they both have the same philosophy when it comes to coaching. Neither are X, O minded guys. Lastly, it’s a full effort from all coaching staff and the players to affect the outcome they desire…

Cooked "Ham" after this series, Lakers will be looking for a new coach...

Ham's coaching in a nutshel: motivational clichés, 3 guard line ups, hands in pockets, no timeout or chalanges.

Ham looks like a guy who knows he saved his job by not Getting swept again.

We won but Ham got to go. Good guy, but we need a coach who can hold the team together when the other team makes a run. And we need a coach who will get in AD and LeBron's face when you got to. You and Phil need to get Rui Hachimura involved in the game, next to AD he is the best shooter on the team. Its not fair to wait until LeBron and A.D get cold and tell Rui its your time now. He needs to be involved from the start.
