The Lakers were crucified at the buzzer by Pacers rookie Andrew Nembhard. Yet ten minutes before the youngster of the farmers threw his bomb on the truffle of LeBron James, the Angelinos had a lead of 17 pawns. For Darvin Ham, coach of the Californian team, the only one who should be criticized… it’s him.
The planet Lakers probably wakes up with a terrible hangover this morning and it’s clearly not because of the excesses of the day before, but rather the fault of a pitchfork thrown by a troop of angry young farmers. We’re not telling you the story, but we’re just reminding you that the Lakers messed up a 17-point lead to eat a buzzer beater signed Andrew Nembhard.
Necessarily, when a team leads 101-84 with 10 minutes to go and ends up losing 115-116, many “culprits” are thrown into the mix. If the detractors cannot this time attack Russell Westbrook who held the house, the eyes have started to turn to LeBron James and Anthony Davis who planted only three shots between them in the last quarter- time. That’s when… Eh, eh Darvin arrived, without hurry, the great Darvin. Just like Zorro, Darvin Ham came to help his players at a press conference. No time to procrastinate, the culprit is him.

Inevitably, Darvin Ham has his share of responsibility in the defeat. The successor to Frank Vogel has failed to break the dynamics of the Pacers with his coaching and his systems, but he is not the one who frolics on the field. Whatever, the Lakers coach has chosen to take criticism on his back to spare his players. A sacrifice that is likely to please his group who will have to react on Wednesday evening once morest the Blazers… Seen as Jerami Grant has been having fun lately, it will be anything but a cakewalk.
