Told y'all about Ham.

He's going to support Russ and he believes in him, etc. BUT Coach is not for the playplay.


Especially when you (bleep) up on defense and compound it with turnovers.

Ham does not (bleep) around.

Yep

Ham won’t hesitate to make what he has at his disposal work. IMO the most positive sign we’ve seen from a Laker coach in years

I support it because we need it. Hopefully this goes for Lebron and Davis too.

We’re not completely out of the sandpit quite yet.

We still gotta see if Russ will fully embrace the Lamar Odom/Manu Ginobili role and go all out as a 6th man.
There’s still that small chance he hasn’t truly accepted his decline as a superstar and folds.

Day to Davis strikes again!

How are they supposed to experiment with starting lineup when this guy can’t seem to play more than 2 games in a row.

It’s a challenge for him just to make it through one game without having something pop up. Back, wrist, knee, foot, whatever…at some point availability is part of the job and if you can’t do it then peace out.

Looks like Bryant and Jones will be battling for pecking order in the line-up.
Bryant is probably not 100%, while DJ has been flaky at times.
    Let's get this "W" LA!!

THE SUMMARY - ICYMI

Per McTen

Beyond Russell Westbrook coming off the bench tonight in SAC, more lineup news: Anthony Davis (lower back tightness) did not make the trip, per the team. Dennis Schroder (thumb) is out, per sources. Lonnie Walker IV and Juan Toscano-Anderson are expected to play, per Darvin Ham.

https://twitter.com/mcten/status/1581002036870402048?s=46&t=yGUhxJTBBFaR1awfrXEVoA


Davis sitting out is purely precautionary. He will play in the season opener in GSW. Schroder's injury will likely cause him to miss some time to start the season.

Agree with Laker's Fan that the hope was definitely to see the full starting lineup one time before the start of the season. BUT we ain't got that so we'll have to just rise up anyway...

Let's Go Lakers!

C'mon... the big move that is benching Russ has been done, but no AD to see how things can potentially work?

You know things are rough when Ham is starting feel that change is needed for the starting line up to work, everyone was basically calling for Westbrook to come off the bench since Ham was hired earlier in the summer.

Not that we have legit shooters to put around Russ (especially with him staggering minutes with Bron, one of our better shooters lol), but let's go

Russ
Nunn
Reaves/Ryan
JTA/Ryan
Bryant/Dame

Anthony Davis and Lonnie Walker IV are both out tonight for precautionary reasons.

But both will “definitely play” in season opener.

Seriously.

I’m sure when they start out 1-5, we will hear about how they didn’t have enough preseason reps.
