The Los Angeles Clippers are having their best stretch of this season. They are 15-3 since the beginning of December, the best record in the NBA in that span. Kawhi Leonard & co. decimated the Phoenix Suns on Monday, reasserting their dominance in the league. Even the Clippers’ rival’s superstar, LeBron James, was impressed by their recent surge and gave all the credit to their head coach, Tyronn Lue.

LeBron had high praise for his former Cavs coach. Gilbert Arenas and Co. reacted to LeBron’s comments that left his current head coach, Darvin Ham, in the dirt.

Gilbert Arenas on LeBron James’ praising Tyronn Lue

Washington Wizards legend Gilbert Arenas addressed LeBron’s comments about Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue on Gil’s Arena Podcast. Arenas was surprised by what LeBron said and believed it was a sneaky diss on Lakers head coach Darvin Ham. “These are the Darvin Ham Lakers. The sh*t he putting out there, those is his players,” Arenas hilariously said. Arenas’ reaction came a day after a reporter called the Clippers James Harden’s team during an interview with LeBron James. The Lakers superstar was quick to correct the interviewer. “You say it’s the James Harden Clippers. No, it’s the Ty Lue Clippers.” LeBron acknowledged the greatness of his former head coach and appreciated him for figuring things out so quickly with the Clippers.

“It took him five games, and they’ve been cooking since,” LeBron added. Although LeBron was praising his former head coach, many believed it to be an indirect shot at Darvin Ham. The Lakers have been struggling ever since they won the inaugural in-season tournament. And many have blamed head coach Darvin Ham for not making significant adjustments to fix the problems. Arenas agreed with the majority and questioned Ham for changing the rotation after winning the NBA Cup.

Are the Lakers throwing Darvin Ham under the bus to hide their flaws?

There have been rumors about the Lakers wanting to part ways with head coach Darvin Ham amid recent struggles. The second-year coach did wonders for the Lakers last season, leading them to the Western Conference Finals. He even started this season strong by helping LeBron James and Co. win the first-ever NBA Cup. But it has all been downhill for Darvin Ham since then. The Lakers are currently 10th in the Western Conference with an 18-19 record.

A lot of blame has been put on Darvin Ham. But there are multiple reasons for the Lakers’ abysmal run. No player on the Lakers roster apart from LeBron and AD has stepped up their game to help their team win. The Lakers may be using Darvin Ham as a scapegoat to get the attention away from their failure.
