[Saba Sports News] In the aftermath of a Lakers loss to the Kings, Coach Darvin Ham’s offbeat defensive commentary sparked a viral reaction.
He whimsically suggested that foreknowledge of the Kings’ offensive plays would have bolstered the Lakers’ defense. This comment, possibly meant to be light-hearted or illustrative of his defensive challenges, was not well-received.
“I wish I could tell Mike Brown, ‘When you play offense, just let us know what you gonna run, so we can stop it,'” said Ham.
Fans expressed dismay and confusion on social media, questioning Ham’s coaching acumen and the team’s direction, amplifying existing concerns over his strategies, player management, and the overall team performance this season.
“We definitely have a middle school team or some shit like that coach as our coach man,” wrote one fan. “With this statement it confirms it.”
