Lakers Coach Darvin Ham Issues Stern Warning Amid Team Struggles

Despite Criticism and Calls for Firing, Front Office Continues to Support Ham

Lakers coach Darvin Ham has taken a hardline approach following the team's loss to the Brooklyn Nets, stating 'it's over for the excuses' and they have 'got to play basketball.'
The Lakers, who made the Western Conference Finals last season and strengthened their depth during the summer, are currently sitting 10th in the Western Conference with a 21-22 record.
Fans have criticized Ham's tactical decisions and inconsistent lineup changes, and some are calling for his firing.
Despite the criticism, reports indicate that the Lakers front office continues to support Ham, who helped the team recover from a 0-5 start last season.
The Lakers face another tough challenge when they play the LA Clippers on Tuesday.
