Plaschke: Hasty firing of coach Darvin Ham is more Lakers madness

LA Times  

Less than two years ago, LeBron James loved Darvin Ham. So Ham is less than one year removed from leading a newly formed team to within four wins of a spot in the NBA Finals … and he’s already gone? The Lakers just fired a coach who was 90-74 and whose two playoff series losses came in competitive duels with the Denver Nuggets, the defending champions and best team in basketball. “I think Darvin Ham is a helluva coach,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said earlier this week. Lakers coach Darvin Ham, right, congratulates forward LeBron James during a game against the Nets last season.
