In all seriousness, Myers would be the perfect candidate to return the Lakers to glory days.
He could win more championships and triple or quadruple Lakers market value.
Won't happen, of course, until Jeanie sees the light gets rid of her homies. https://t.co/9fT5cxCveZ— LakerTom (@LakerTom) April 26, 2024

When the Lakers front office thinks about how to build championship team, I hope they look at the Nuggets, who spent a FRP each on Aaron Gordon & Michael Porter Jr.
Lakers need to do same for starting POA guard and modern center. Forget 3rd superstar. Get elite pieces that fit.

Darvin Ham receives harsh chant from Lakers fans as Nuggets take 3-0 lead https://t.co/dvGTJrVobU
— LakerTom (@LakerTom) April 26, 2024
Los Angeles Lakers fans have seen just about enough of Darvin Ham.
The Lakers made it 11 straight losses to the Denver Nuggets on Thursday, falling in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series 112-105. Once again, the Lakers blew a double-digit lead (as they already had in both Games 1 and Game 2) and brought to themselves to the brink of elimination as Denver took a commanding 3-0 series advantage.
In the final minute or so of the fourth quarter with the Nuggets on the verge of victory, Lakers fans busted out a harsh message about head coach Darvin Ham.
They started chanting, “Fire Darvin!” and could be heard doing so on the TNT broadcast.
Jovan Buha of The Athletic confirmed that “Fire Darvin!” was indeed what was being chanted.
Ham is in his second season as head coach of the Lakers and has led the team to a respectable record of 90-74 (.549) as well as a Western Conference Finals berth. But they were already swept out of the playoffs by the Nuggets last season and are now in grave danger of meeting the exact same fate this time around.

Windhorst: Lakers' Anthony Davis Blamed Darvin Ham for G2 Loss with Postgame Comments https://t.co/3OQjyU2UrS
— LakerTom (@LakerTom) April 26, 2024
Los Angeles Lakers star center Anthony Davis made pointed comments about the coaching in the team’s devastating Game 2 loss to the Denver Nuggets, and one expert believes they indicate a deeper problem with head coach Darvin Ham.
While debating Davis’ comments on Thursday’s episode of First Take, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst said they show that the big man feels that Ham should be held accountable for the Lakers blowing a 20-point lead and falling into a 0-2 hole in their first-round playoff series.
“You guys are dancing around your point, which is that Anthony Davis blamed Darvin Ham for this loss,” Windhorst said around the 5:20 mark. “That is exactly what he did. He did that very clearly with those comments.”

Why Los Angeles Lakers Still Have Realistic Chance To Upset Nuggets
While the doubters and naysayers have declared the Los Angeles Lakers dead in the water after Game 2’s crushing loss, the reality is the Denver Nuggets are lucky to be up 2–0 and have just held serve on home court.

5 Things: On the Topic of the Nuggets of Denver
And so it shall be. No bracket wackiness, no losing to win, just steel on steel and may the best team win. This was my personal preference not only because there are no guarantees but because why wait? We won’t have home court unless the Bulls go all the way and we meet in the […]
