Since the LA Lakers defeated the Indiana Pacers in the NBA In-Season Tournament Finals, fans have been disparaging LA Lakers coach Darvin Ham. Following their victory in the tournament’s first championship, LA has been experiencing a downward trend. After losing to the Miami Heat 110-96 at home on Wednesday night, they are now 3-9 over their past 12 games.
The majority of Lakers supporters have criticized Ham’s work as the team’s bench tactician. After five games, they have a 1-4 record. Their lone victory in that time came on December 28 against the Charlotte Hornets, an 8-24 team plagued by injuries. How quickly Ham will be replaced is a question that many in Laker Nation have.
Darvin Ham attributes the Lakers’ 96-110 defeat to the Heat to the injuries that kept three of their rotational players out of the starting lineup.
Unfortunately, the team hasn’t made this announcement, which has angered LA Lakers supporters. The team is now 17–18, but Ham is still in the starting lineup. GM of the Lakers, Rob Pelinka, will probably give him a pass. After leading the team to the Western Conference finals the previous season, the former journeyman in the NBA earned it.
