The Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Miami Heat 96–110 at home, which is awful news for them once more. They are now below 500 after their 18th loss of the year. In the previous 12 games, this is their ninth defeat. Fans are really concerned about the season because they believe that if LeBron James and Anthony Davis were healthy, all of their issues would be solved.

LeBron’s poor performance appeared to have been executed by a 39-year-old, according to fans.

The way that LeBron has been playing point guard for the Lakers lately has angered fans.

Lakers supporters have lost a great deal of ground to the Clippers, who went 0–6 at the beginning of the season after acquiring James Harden.

When LeBron James only scored 12 points on 6 (18) shots, the Lakers had no chance, even with his six boards and nine assists. Despite his impressive stats of 29 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 5 blocks, Antony Davis was let down by his teammates. After rejoining the starting lineup, Austin Reaves played a fantastic game. He finished with 24 points and 8 assists. 

Jimmy Butler wasn’t playing, but the Heat still had eight guys in their starting lineup with double-digit scoring. Tyler Herro led the squad in scoring with 21 points. Jaime Jaquez Jr. replaced Butler, scoring 16 points and dishing out eight assists. Bam Adebayo and Nikola Jovic both finished the game with 15 points apiece. 

The Lakers may require a new head coach.

A coaching change is usually imminent when a team with great expectations fails as miserably as the Lakers have. Ham’s job was safe even though the Lakers had little chance of making the playoffs until the very end of the season. There was an issue with the team’s skill set. This year’s squad was assembled to maximize his abilities, but he hasn’t been able to make it happen.

If the Lakers don’t have a deal that will salvage the season, they might try to trade Ham, just like they did the previous year. Although the players complement one another’s skills, Ham hasn’t made the most of them in his rotations. Ham recently assembled one of the worst starting lineups in the NBA, and he still hasn’t been able to identify the problems on his team. 

Due to their severe shortage of scorers, the Lakers must either locate a coach who can maximize their potential or hold out hope for a deal that might save them. If not, there are plenty of capable coaches who would be prepared to replace Ham in the event that he had to depart.
