Darvin Ham reiterates that there is no update on Jarred Vanderbilt or Gabe Vincent currently.
“Status quo,” Ham said again.
Darvin Ham says Cam Reddish was experiencing soreness in his ankle so the Lakers decided to rest him and play Max Christie instead.
Darvin Ham on the Lakers win: "We found a way to win. Kept chipping away at it. As good teams do, you have to find ways."
Darvin Ham on LeBron James: "He's a highly competitive guy. 4x champion and we needed every bit of that.
Darvin Ham admits that the Lakers could've played better but "at the end of the day, a win is a win. You would much rather deal with wisdom than lessons."
Darvin Ham on the Nuggets: "I think we'll be definitely ready and willing to compete at the highest level...Everybody is well aware of what's at stake...They are the defending champs. I'm sure I won't have to do anything extra to get the guy's attention."
Darvin Ham on the team's defense: "How can we make last night's 4th quarter, and tonight's overtime more consistent. No one is going to play lockdown defense for 48 minutes. We have to continue to get better at it."
D'Angelo Russell on LeBron: "He's the first person I saw play in the NBA ... My dad took me to my first NBA game ... I was a big LeBron fan. He did that signature dunk, and I remember crying...I was like, this is where I want to be. He's inspired me without even knowing it."
D'Angelo Russell on LeBron:
"You try to compare how high he jumps when he first got to the league til now…it's a little drop but he's still jumping over dudes...still got some years under his belt. You're seeing Year 21. Might be seeing Year 25.”
But everyone knows Drummond can rebound the ball…he literally does nothing else 90% of the time
Dude is ass and always was ass
Half the rebound are his miss too when he played for us and can’t defend for s***
