Still baffles me to this day that the Lakers fired a coach that won a championship for them and then fired him and hired someone who had no head coaching experience on the NBA level
what is he doing on the Suns?
@@stanleybalan55lol
@@stanleybalan55 Completely the front office’s fault, same reason why he went from winning a championship to missing the playoffs in LA, they can only work with what they are given
You mean the guy who is about to get the Suns swept 🧹🧹🧹
@@stanleybalan55losing to a better team.
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.
@Paulie_Geelie ...I second emotion!
Stfu you just talking 🤡
Mike Malone was blaming the shoes not being there in time and tried saying it wasn’t an excuse. Why tf did he bring it up then🤡😂
@@mans5640 Mike Malone literally said "I'm not an excuse guy, and I'm not gonna point to the reason we got our butts kicked in the paint [is] because our shoes weren't there. I think that's a reach personally." 16:27. Mike Malone literally did not bring it up, the reporter asked him about it. 16:04
Idk how people get things wrong with so much confidence. Must be nice being stupid, I myself get exhausted constantly fact checking myself.
@@mans5640I bet talking to you in real life is exhausting since clearly you are incapable of listening to a conversation
I wish Ham could be as ferocious as he was back in '04 Pistons. Motivation won't lead to success, discipline does.
THIS DENVER COACH FACE LOOKS LIKE HES HOLDING IN ALOT OF AIR😂
He only accepts embarrassing the lakers 😂😂
Tell him don’t hold let it out he’s there daddy, so he say
@@miyasato1he’s the lakers daddy. What did you expect?😂
Now the brooms up your end Denver nuggets
Funny enough I think Denver is being way more humble and respectful to the lakers than they were last year. Not that it matters but that’s pretty cool.
He told yall he was saving those adjustments for Game 4.
Yep, lakers have them figured out. A brilliant tactic to keep the nuggets thinking the lakers hadn’t . Even let them win the championship to make the feel save and lure them further into the trap
@@ThommyOcho Big Brain move. 10 steps ahead of Coach Malone
Yep he said to hell with the first 3 time to his the brain boy intelligence 😂
U right, I thought he was saving them for game 9
Yeah, it is a quagmire.
5:00 was definitely directed at Lebron lol
Darvin behaving like he won the jackpot after just one game.
i mean yeah his ahh tryna save his job 😂😂
@@miyasato1facts 😂
It was must win, so he act right at the moment
@teacherbrad9534 ...Silly, isn't it?
I mean you saw him they acted for the in season tournament. Not surprised
Lakers said no brooms tonight 😂
Amen, brotha
pop the champagnes
Looked like Denver eased them up. Game looked rigged to me
@@fortherecord6706 I thought the same. Denver didn’t look aggressive at all
But still Goodbye Mr. Hamburger after Nugget clean you off on Game 4.
Sounds like a good coach after a win lol
Every coach sounds like a genius after winning
@@2CuteToShoot69it is professional basketball…
Still we want to see him on Game 4 when Dlo cannot burn his shot.
Imagine the lakers come back and beat the nuggets would be insane
Revenge is best served cold on a dish
Goat James
They'll have the free throw advantage for sure
@@aproodigalsonalways one idiot 😂 always
I can’t imagine it bc it won’t happen. 😆
Darvin Ham is a genius…intentionally kept everything secret to give Nuggets confidence and to set the path for a 0-3 comeback. Dude wants that 30-30 documentary. This is more than basketball. Dude is playing 4D chess.
Darvin ham and genius in the same sentence feels like a crime
Hmmm yes it all make sense now
You need a psych evaluation.
I like new play of Lakers.... hope they keep closed game 5 ...😮😮😮😮
@@miyasato1fr someone call the police to come arrest this man
Darvin Ham doesn’t challenge anything. LBJ was right to be pissed. Luckily he challenged the D’Lo play.
Stop it, he was out of bounds lol
He was trying to save the challenge for the end of the game. Relax and stop being so critical.
What’s the reason for keep saving time outs?
Darvin challenged all game except for that one. This guy for a new coach has outcoached Vogel so far (Suns down 3-0) and helped his players overcome mental weakness (DLO, this game). Ham got us to the finals v Denver last year (where were the other coaches/clubs) and to where we are this year. Many forces at play internally.
@@AK-bt6esdo you know how the challenges work? If you are succesfull you get it back. The missed challenges where in the 4th quarter. At the end if the game refs review plays anyways so thats dumb.
This should be the lakers non championship playoff experience for the ones that don’t have a ring so now every game is ground time y’all had leads every game just keep doing it!!
We couldve won the first two if Dlo played like this
DLo played well game2, he wasnt the reason Lakers lost game 2….
Yeah but that’s still not the issue. From a pure x and o standpoint, it’s rebounding. Through the first 3 games DEN has mauled LAL:
280-247 FGA
145-116 TReb
38-18 Oreb
Tonight
87-93
46-53
9/8
DEN cannot stop LAL. That’s the stat to keep eyes on. 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.
@@ngken1012he turned over the ball in the 4th and lead to the comeback
@@haywood0457sounds like they need Dwight Howard and Mcgee
@@haywood0457need vando , he can even get Oboards
Nichols insinuating that players shooting warm ups in flip flops has anything to do with the outcome of the game. Great coach response to an absurd question.
It’s not his fault as much…Reaves and DLo combined for 42 tonight. Game 1 they combined for 26. How much of that is on Darvin Ham? None of it!
Russell will help the Nuggets in game 5.
We beat the nugget’s with frank vogel as coach!!!
If Mr Ham gets fired its not his fualt hes very humble the players just suck
least obvious darvin ham burner
Not a Ham fan. He makes terrible decisions
Cap. Ham doesn't know what he's doing out there. Ham seems to be there to ease LeBron. Comfort doesn't equate to competitive edge
He is an animal bro, this guy legit the worst coach in the nba
Not his fault? His all guard rotation is not his fault? And taking out players while hot is not his fault? And starting Prince was not his fault over morethan 50 games which obviously not equating into winning! If you have followed the Lakers game by game not just the highlights and not just this interview then you dont know what you are talking about.
meet force with force his favorite line lol
I like everything Darvin said. The players need to play harder, and with passion, they aren't new to this!
LOOK AT JOKIC, MAKE HIM WORK ON DEFENSE EVERY PLAY
brother he went 33-14-14💀
@@GrimmzyF14 rebounds is low for him.
@@GrimmzyF they lost when he got out rebounded 🤷🏿
@@takoda100that’s not him that’s everyone else then by your logic 😂
@@Tumorcoach his worst rebounding game they lose. The biggest problem with the Lakers vs nuggets is their rebounding. When they out rebound they can win
he kept his job for 1 more day
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. It is a matter of time and will happen why not it happen for the Lakers the greatest sports franchise in the world.
He’s bottom 3 terrible coaches in the league
The basketball gods had pity tonight
Malone looked pissed like last year’s final game 2 with heat where he snapped and called out the team about effort. He’s more calm and put into good words but basically said those boys weren’t coming to play at all. I see them coming out with a banger game 5 Monday
Say that! 🗣️
What's the matter Malone who's your daddy the milkman or the mailman
Nuggets said uk what let’s win this time at home
Darvin ‘Force with Force’ Ham
Ham and Malone are night and day.
Ham, we need more motivational quotes!!
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
NBA management does not want a 0-12 Lakers sweep. To save the framchise from losing following, Denver let them win. When u watch the game, it got boring like Denver intentionally let Lakers win
i choose passion over emotion, intelligence over ego - darvin ham
taking shot to?!😂😂😂
to no one
@@lance_wavy blinded huh
There is no intelligence in darvin.
LeBron
@@popopopo4981 nah im just not a ten year old like you that loves on insinuating things like a child or a teenage gossiping girl. These are mature and professional grown men. no need for drama
If Darvin Ham can figure out how to win the 3rd quarter or even survive, this Lakers team would be a monster
Today is a great coach for laker fans!!
Darwin Ham is the least of the Lakers problems!
The Denver coach feels more shame, concern and responsibility over a loss after losing one out of the last twelve than the Lakers coach does going 0-3 in the playoffs.. all horse no saddle wild thornberry looking head as Darvin
Lakers are one Lebron 3 point shot make from this series being 2-2.
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.
mike malone looks like michael nykvist in john wick
He wanted that sweep bad!!
The reality is Jamal Murray is playing like trash in the series. Yeah, the game 2 buzzer beater but he's jacking up 23 hero ball shots a game while shooting 38% from the field. Unless he can pull his head out the Nuggets are a 5 or 6 game second round out v the Wolves.
He's hurt and will play worst each game . Better not let the Lakers get game 5 or else the Nuggets are going to get in Chile mode
Totally agree! Minnesota is a bigger team and they're playing like pitbulls! Denver has a glearing lack of size weakness.
@@CESAR-io6oblack of size ?
To be fair, pretty much anyone would lose to the Wolves. They're on another level right now
That's y he's not an all-star
Gentlemen sweep is still a sweep 😂😂
I have lots of respect for both these gents! Ham has been much maligned while holding coaching duties with the Lakers.
Treating Russell and Reaves getting into the paint the same as you treat Lebron with a collapsing defense was a huge mistake. Just plain goofy not making that adjustment. Lebron had a least 10 points off of blind defender dive to the basket.
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
Shoes not arriving on time is crazy. Lol
He was asked about it, not making an excuse.
Keep that same energy Laker fanatics after game 5...Keep that same energy....
Enjoy the Win while it last. Dooms day on monday for Lakers. LMAO
Ham called a full timeout with just under 2 mins left, up double digits, DURING a Lakers run. What in the actual F kind of decision is that?
Extremely typical
if you look at his eyes, he looks like he knows it’s over for him coaching wise.
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
Darvin Ham has got to go!
DARVIN ham not the problem watch the game your guards can't defend the pick an roll Are the pick that's the problem every championship team have good. Guards Kobe, Dwayne Wade , parker an Duncan. Ray Allen an lebron. ,Paul Pierce an Kevin Garnett. An many more
Talking all that stuff! No sweep 😂
Darvin ham still want to joke----its not joke time
they better close it off in denver next game. dont let the lakers get one.
Don't this guy sound the same at all of his press conference
That’s how the Lakers have to play every game. I had them winning one game just because I don’t think they can play perfect 4 out of 7 games.
no more sweep chicken nuggets!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
You happy bout that 🤣🤣🤣
Gentleman ur not a problem.😂
Are the Lakers gonna win the series?? “NO”..lol
I still don’t understand how chicken nuggets is a diss. I’d rather be a chicken nugget than a fake show.
@@joshloach9016Bron fans mixed with Lakers fans = that 🤣
Michael Malone looks like hes constipated in the thumbnail💀
He needs some Jamie Lee Curtis yogurt
@shreyway13 ...Stupid assumption!
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.
Lakers 4-0 Denver in first halves. 0-4 in second halves. Series tied.
@Young-ep8ik ...That's what YOU think!
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.
Not gonna lie Ham looks like he might be insane
Gotta be at this level
LMAO
more on motivational speak not actually coaching basketball 😂
He looks so relieved that they won one
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…
Let ham go right now
Just makes stops and Maintain your Leads..
Y didn’t Hayes play game 3
The Nuggets got in the bad habits of expecting the Lakers hading them over the game in 3rd quarter, this time it didn’t work that way. Game 5 will be nervy for them at home. I expect the Lakers to continue pounding them over in the paint.
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
Aaron Gordon, 7 pts, 3 rebounds. He stood around almost the entire game compared to the first three games. Come on man. Do better!!!
Nah lakers actually covered the dunker spot. ..where AG thrives.
They didn't help on drives this time they stayed to him so he wouldn't have to backcut all game.
He's waiting for the next script so they can go ahead and win.
It’s different when the broke flip flop is on your foot!
LeBron James ignores Darvin Ham and treats him like the Lakers’ janitor.
Haha. Yeah. Pretty accurate😂
He does that with every coach EXCEPT for Spo, Pat Riley wasn't having none of LeBron's BS
You guys are so weird.
@@bidleysaladin1800 We found an idiot
I mean, ham, a clown they gotta trade, bro
Its sweeter to close the series in your homecourt. Would you agree guys?
He said everything bron would want him to say lol
It will be a gentleman sweep. Denver will clinch at home
The lakers should bring in david blatt lol
We???
Cooked "Ham" after this series, Lakers will be looking for a new coach...
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.
So who is the guy that wanted Darvin Ham to be the coach? Yeah.
Denver gave them the gave.
They should be up 3 1
Long story short, they were playing to make sure Bron wasn’t swept again. That’s really what was goin on.
Absolutely
Gentlemen’s sweep 🧹
Or they just didnt get lucky w fts and shots 🙀
This is Lakers peak moment this season eneded the L streak and avoided a sweep enjoy it
gentleman's sweeeeep incoming
REVERSE SWEEP
Are Lakers fans now trusted, Lakers Role players to deliver, every games now?😂
Jamal Murray's shooting inefficiency and nuggets lackadaisical attitude of letting lakers get the lead in first half cost them this game.
Mike Malone needs to put the bad cop hat and give the team some through a** kicking to get them to focus.
I said it to my self yesterday stop Aaron Gordon from getting those open dunks and be physical with jokic
jamal murray gives a masterclass on how to be a loser. Hero ball dont work...5 assists pathetic , stagnant offense all night, not getting others involved, horrible shot selection, using jokic screens and not giving your highest IQ player the ball, too much dribbling, missed layups. Gordon 41 minuntes and 4 rebounds lol Malone pull your head out of you a$$ and use Jordan,, your rotations have become too predictable and easy to defend. I pin this loss on Murray and Malones ineptitude
High IQ comment
Aaron Gordon sold out that game something didn’t look right and he needs to be investigated
Fire Ham, he is not on the floor don't what he is doing.
Bruh let's be real...Denver was sleep walking , Gordon, Jackson, Beaune, Holiday were off, missed bunnies all night...they weren't ready to play...contested nothing all night....I felt Denver was just trying to get back home💪🏾😎💯
Nah... Mike Malone gave the Lakers one game to avoid having a 4-0 sweep
*Sack Ham* 🤬
LA ON 7
Can't blame d NBA for the inseason tournament, now it's the play in all that is lowering the bar for lakers, extension lebron lol
Ham looks like a guy who knows he saved his job by not Getting swept again.
