NBA fans declare "Bye Bye Darvin" at the Lakers after they lose to the Pelicans by 20 points.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ decisive 129-109 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans has left the team’s supporters frustrated and alarmed.

The New Orleans Pelicans dominated the road-weary Los Angeles Lakers with a convincing 129-109 victory, marking the Lakers’ seventh loss in nine games.

One fan said bye-bye to Darvin, indicating an end to the Lakers’ coach tenure.

A second fan called the Lakers a fake team.

A third fan added in saying that the Lakers sold their soul for the In-Season tournament.

A fourth fan said that LeBron James doesn’t deserve this.

A fifth fan went to an extreme as they called Darvin Ham as evil.

A sixth fan said that the LeBron James and Anthony Davis experiment is a failure and it’s time to rebuild now.

With 26 points apiece, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram led the Pelicans, while CJ McCollum chipped in with 22 points. The Lakers’ inability to obtain enough support in spite of LeBron James’ outstanding 34-point performance and Anthony Davis’ 20 points and 10 rebounds highlighted their continued difficulties this season.

Due to a number of setbacks for the Lakers, including injuries to D’Angelo Russell and Cam Reddish, coach Darvin Ham was forced to try out a new starting lineup, bringing in Rui Hachimura as the fifth player. However, the planned stability was upset when Hachimura left due to a calf injury.

LeBron James, who was sidelined by illness for the second straight game, showed tenacity by scoring 34 points, which is the 11th-highest total by a 39-year-old in NBA history. Austin Reaves, who the group has been hesitant to include in the third quarter, scoring 13 of his 20 points, putting him in the starting lineup.

The Lakers arrived in New Orleans after 3 a.m. after their previous game against Minnesota, clearly exhausted from their demanding schedule. The Lakers were aggravated by additional missed calls during the game against the Timberwolves, even though the league upheld the ruling on James’ late-game shot.

With 42 points in the first quarter and no signs of giving up, the Pelicans dominated from the start. Now that 11 of the Lakers’ next 12 games are in Los Angeles, they have a critical stretch of games ahead of them, providing a chance to regroup and address their patchy play.

Fans’ concerns have grown as a result of the disappointing loss and ongoing difficulties, which is indicative of the pressure on the Lakers to find stability and improve their record.
