The Lakers may struggle to contend for a title if they keep making quick coaching changes, but that might not be enough to save Darvin Ham's job.
The chant began in the final minutes of another lost season, the blame thundering down from furious Laker fans in four sharp syllables. “Fi-re Dar-vin…fi-re Dar-vin…fi-re Dar-vin.” The Lakers are on the precipice of a second consecutive playoff disaster, and it’s becoming clear who could take the fall. In the wake of Thursday’s 112-105 playoff loss to the splendidly coached Denver Nuggets at Crypto.com Arena, the smoking wreckage has seemingly trapped one man.
That competitive pride in Game 4 will be challenged by competitive chaos. If they get swept, it could be Ham’s last stand, and the players surely know it, because all signs have been pointing to it. Ham will be cited as the reason for this quote by LeBron James, who finished Thursday’s game with three turnovers and several other miscues while appearing weary in several long stretches.
