It seems to me that only Lakers fans think Darvin Ham is a bad coach and isn’t getting enough flak from the media or watchers outside of Lakers fans. Non-Lakers fans, is Darvin Ham a bad coach or do the Lakers fans just don’t know what they’re talking about?

    I think his biggest issue are his rotations and his willingness to call timeouts. There were countless times when we finished the game losing by 1-2 possessions and still had 1-2 timeouts because he was saving them. Also Hamas tend to kill our own run. When a player is hot and is going on a run, he tend to take em out and kill our own runs. Most evidently against the nuggets last year in the conf finals when we were having a huge run he pulled anthony davis out and nuggets immediately went on a run and he immediately put AD back in again (AD never sat more than a minute). This caused a backlash amongst fans and even our broadcasters were openly calling it out and asking why.

    Also, his rotations in last year’s playoffs. I think everyone remembered Lakers went small ball against the warriors in the semis and was pretty successful in doing so. When we matched up against Denver, he went small ball again in game 1 and got thoroughly demolished (everyone knew you gotta size up against jokic and put a body on him).

    He’s not ready as a head coach especially when we’re in Bron’s final few years. Every productive year of LeBron is a championship window and our front office should never sign a first year head coach. But that’s more on the front office.
