Darvin Ham responds to Anthony Davis’ remarks on Lakers being ‘clueless’ against Denver Nuggets

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a tough week as they lost the first two games of the first-round matchup against the Denver Nuggets. Lakers’ forward Anthony Davis was upset with the team’s coaching staff after losing the second game despite coming extremely close. However, head coach Darvin Ham showed disagreement with Davis’ statement as he spoke to the media.

Anthony Davis had a dominating double-double performance in game 2 which was not enough for the Lakers to secure the win. After the game, the forward subtly blamed the coaches stating that the Lakers do not have control on both sides of the court. Darvin Ham dismissed Davis’ statement and had his coaching staff’s back.

Sometimes the plays just don't turn out the way it should. The frustration sets in a little bit. But I don't think it's for us not being organized. I have incredible, talented coaches on my staff...We pride ourselves with being highly efficient and organized… I'll agree to disagree on that one. Darvin Ham at the post-game presser

Davis’ frustration is only natural as the Los Angeles Lakers lost control of the game in the closing minutes and lost the game with merely two points. Fans have found holes in Ham’s coaching throughout this season. Now, the issue seems more serious as the players are openly taking shots at the coaching.
