I want to thank everyone for their kind words and support. I am humbled. Patrick Beverley just called me and apologized. I appreciate it  and accept it. The Bucks also reached out to apologize. I've been in news for over 40 years and kindness and grace always win.

Not Fair at all. Exchanged between a fan and our ball club all night. We warned and asked for help all night. Not fair. 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️

Really?  That’s some pretty wholesome heckling.

Was he that bad?  I don't watch the lakers much so can't speak of his game management.

The exchange with AD through the media was interesting.  Maybe the players were just done with him.

I live in LA, yeah my LAL friends were so excited to see him fired. They would be happy if Rondo becomes their coach.

Another year, another early exit for the Sixers. I thought maybe Nick Nurse could reign in Embiid but I was wrong.

They still try to run their offense through him. Because he's the MVP. When in fact his skills are limited and he resorts to flailing and flopping when defenses tighten up.

Their offense is a disaster because he doesn't work within the flow of the system. It is similar to when the Celtics revert to iso-ball. It's not efficient, abd it doesn't get ither guys involved.

Seems like Maxey and the others only get shots on broken plays. It's remarkable how disorganized Philly is. They are the anti-Heat. I don't think it's a coincidence Batum made so many plays; he comes from a Clipper system where you're moving in sync with the play, not just watching your star "go to work."

I am disappointed with Philly's offense too. It is basically a two man offense with three role players in minimal roles.

They needed to involve Tobias Harris and Buddy Hield more. Those are two quality scorers. They should not be treated the same way as Melton, Lowry, Batum, Oubre. Yet there is little difference. No plays being run for them. No effort to get them more involved in the game. To get them going.

Yeah man. It's criminal how little the Sixers try to get shots for their shooters. If they deliberately used Embiid as a decoy more they could feast. It's a lot like Tatum and Brown. When they work the defense with intent, guys get good shots.

Wow, Lakers fans think another coach can suddenly reverse time and make Lebrons 40 yr old body play serious defense for 35 minutes .  They are laying blame on the wrong people. The LA games I saw Ham did respectable job. AD and Bron eat up too much salary space.Bron is like a circus attraction….his good offensive numbers don’t impact team winning results so much.  Similar to Doncic to me. I d dump old Bron , put a couple younger stars with AD., ones that play some defense. Bad roster…too much leWhiner

I don’t think Ham was a good coach at all, but I agree the biggest problem is with their roster. Their third best player is Russell or Reaves? That’s not gonna get it done. But you have people like Sparz wizard believing they could make the finals all year. Lebron is still a good offensive player but he is terrible on defense, he made Gordon look like an all star.

That is what I am thinking too.  Super mild.  That is what gets Beverly into throw the ball at a person's face mode?   Then Beverly needs a suspension.
