Darvin Ham responded "it's up there" when asked if this is Davis' best stretch since he began coaching him last season:

Over his last 14 games, Anthony Davis is averaging:

– 30.3 points (60% shooting)
– 11.4 rebounds
– 3.6 assists
– 2.3 blocks
– 1.4 steals

Two high-ranking Lakers sources tell The Athletic there is a plan to remain patient with Darvin Ham as he continues to grow in his first head coaching job.

Damn, yall were gifted a win

Seethe and cope

In the last 34 seconds of the game the Raptors intentionally fouled the Lakers 5 TIMES sending them to the line for 10 free throws.

Why are non Laker fans acting like this isn’t a huge reason for the free throw disparity ctfu

Refs should carry to a play in spot

and we’re the more physical team and they didnt have a center people are just dumb

Pockets still coach?

maybe don’t start a small forward at center? just a suggestion

Lakers have an open roster spot and can try to get him.

(This is an old clip before he was benched)

Would be a decent pick up tbh

Lineups w/ LeBron & Christian Wood: +14.3
Lineups w/ LeBron & Christian Wood (no Hayes): +16.5
Lineups w/ LeBron, Wood & AD: +26.2

Christian Wood is 10/19 from 3 (52%) in his last 7 games.

He's currently shooting 34% from 3 this season.

Jovan Buha mentions Lavine, Murray, DFS, Rozier, or Royce O’Neale as the Lakers top targets at the deadline.

please waive hayes and pick up biyombo rob

"Lakers has continued to tell teams it doesn’t want to part with AR, sources said. There does seem to be a pathway for a Murray-to-LA deal if the Lakers would be willing to include AR, sources said, although that would require the Hawks to send back more value to LA".

Hayes has a player option, which Lakers would need to pay if he's waived so they're probably not gonna do that.

Lakers have an open roster spot anyways so Hayes doesnt need to be waived.

Biyombo is gonna want minutes.

Gonna be hard to convince him to come here with Wood playing so well.

"Around the league, D’Angelo Russell’s $17 million salary has not been viewed as a valuable trade chip for the Lakers to bolster their roster behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis."
