@@Zett76 If you've paid any attention to how the Lakers FO has conducted itself since Jeannie outed her idiot brother then you know exactly why coaches haven't wanted to come here. Let me lay it out since you haven't and prefer to blame LeBron for everything since you don't like him. Frank Vogel was treated terribly by the FO. Tyrone Lue felt insulted by the FO insisting he gets less years and his assistants being handpicked for him(this was done because Luke Walton hired his buddies as assistants and this FO overcorrects)so didn't come here. It was immediately speculated upon Vogel's hiring Jason Kidd who was the lead assistant would immediately take over should anything go wrong with Vogel as the fall guy, Kidd ended up going to Dallas instead of sticking around. Vogel's last season the FO gave him a trash roster completely ill suited to his strengths as a coach and as early as December there was talk of him being fired several coaches commented on how terrible this was, like Rick Carlisle who is head of the coaches union, it was reported Quinn Snyder would not come here should there be a vacancy and once fired Carlisle in his capacity as head of the union spoke up how unfair this was. The Lakers FO knew they f*cked up so overcorrected again and gave this long leash and job security to a rookie HC who has turned out to be a terrible choice.

This is the funniest title I've seen in a while

Its not unusual for players like these to be an extension of the coach, although depending on the player and their stature in the organization. CP3, Rajon Rondo, MJ, Jason Kidd and a couple more, who had that thinking and coaches trust them to make certain calls during certain plays.

I feel like this is more because Lebron finallly decided to play effort filled defense. Usually he absolutely atrocious on rotating or help and their defense suffers. So this is a great sign he started believing in this team to make a run.

The problem with the LeBron being an in-court coach is the usual "too many cooks" issue. Yes LeBron can adjust in-game to fix issues in real time (tactics) but he is causing confusing to his team mates since they now have to re-adjust their thoughts which were just adjusted by their coach. This is pretty frequent in team vs team battles, even in warfare. Generals can win a battle via tactics, but cannot win a war without strategy.

nice thumbnail btw

When he owns a team it’s going to be funny

lebron says things that dont always align with what he actually does on the court. i completely agree that his boost in effort on D was the noticeable difference in that 2nd half, thats what we need from him. he doesnt always play defense consistently, he (seemingly) depends on switches, for a few years now at least. i dont know if thats him not being engaged on D or him following the assigned gameplan. many games im watching him not following his man, not prepared for/reacting to cuts, and then yelling at his teammates once his matchup scores or gets an assist. im a Cavs/Bron fan, ive pulled many hairs off my head watching him do this kinda stuff. its stressful. i guess he's earned that at this stage in his career so i can understand, its year 21 i get it. but when we need it, we need it. i feel like he tricks the people that just see the steal/chasedown highlights, the game tells the true story. the lakers are already not the greatest man-D team, constantly recovering and getting beat by switches/cutters just makes it worst. thats just what i see, i could be wrong/missing details and asking too much of him. but that 2nd half, thats who we need in these playoffs

Darvin Hands In Pocket Ham

Yes! They should let him coach, cause win or loose, this will shut the door on the goat debate, because it would be 1000 percent on him, no excuses either way

IMO they we’re throwing mixed coverages at Harden and Kawhi. More-so these are botched defensive rotations and lapses (a lot on Austin and Rui lol)

How many DPOY´s has the genius LeB.? Exactly. At 10th in the west, maybe LeB. should listen to Ham. Or finally retire. And A.D. is the best player of the Lakers.

Bron will never be out of the NBA. For sure he will coach a team until he dies

no

lebron is like an employee that wont retire but jordan already retired perfect record in the finals and has his own shoe that is regarded as the gold standard for shoes

I’m not an expert at all but if you have intelligent and elite defenders like Lebron and AD wouldn’t you want to refrain from switching so much? That seems like overkill. I get the adjustment Lebron made. I also remember AD confirming he doesn’t like switching because of what he brings defensively. On that DLO podcast episode.

You switch to conserve energy because their best player is in his 21st year. Lebron wears out and becomes ineffective on offense if he is having to glue to every teams best player. He is too important on offense as well...just a messed up situation that AD is so inconsistent, never got a 3 point shot and the lakers guards are awful in perimeter defense. Even today, Lebron locked down zion and they only switched when the Lakers were up 20 to rest lebron...super sad he has to do so much for an 8 seed that will get bounced 1st round.

You knew LeCoach right at the moment he played 1st game for Lakers 😅😅😅 LeGM did, too!!! He is the GOAT because he can play too many roles well at the same time in a basketball game than any others ❤❤❤

also anyone else is better than Ham, y’all do realize that the lakers are possibly 5/6th seed if not for Ham love affair with 4 guards and Prince earlier in the season

When you listen to the full podcast, Lebron actually says they wanted to switch because they wanted to preserve energy cause they thought Game was over... so he vetoed the switching when they were down big

He already GMs so he can coach as well.

The bubble was coached by Jason Kidd Rajon Rondo and Lebron James .

Doesn't matter tbh, bron fans will always find an excuse its never bron's fault.

That travel (at the 7:14 mark) by Austin Reeves is just so egregious and blatant, I really cannot stomach it. When you don't have to dribble the ball, of course your speed tops out and how is the defense supposed to have a fair chance to catch up to u??

LeBron is already coaching. Nba doesn't allow player-coaches bcos they dont want players to draw salaries for two different employment positions.
