The Los Angeles Lakers put up a disappointing show against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Following a controversial win against the Toronto Raptors, the LA side failed to repeat the same.

Moreover, the blames have now escalated to calls for termination of the 50-year-old coach. In that line up, Sharpe addressed the cliff hanger situation.

The Suns stepped on the gas, right from the word get go. They started off the game with a 11-point lead in the first quarter and never stopped. Bradley Beal hit the final nail in the coffin with his blow-out 20 points in the third quarter, giving a 27-point lead.

Immediately after the Lakers’ 109-127 blow-out loss against the Suns, Sharpe joined the NBA legend Gilbert Arenas on a live stream. Both sporting stars spoke about the bunch of blowout games that took over the NBA world tonight. But when it came down to the LA side’s loss, he expressed his disappointment and feared that HC Darvin Ham might lose his job.

He said, “That was pathetic,” while describing the game to Arenas. He further added, “I don’t how Darvin Ham keeping his job. If they keep looking like moving forward.”

Arenas further developed in Sharpe’s concern. He argued that the Lakers lacked an offensive line-up for the Suns, which was charged with shooters like Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Beal.

There were multiple theories circulating in the NBA world claiming that Ham had lost his connection with the players via social media. Meanwhile, a recent statement from D’Angelo Russell added fuel to the fire.

In a recent podcast, he expressed his displeasure for taken out of the game often. D Lo said, “I ain’t just catching and shooting. Now I’m in y’all space. If I miss, y’all took me out of the game.” While he didn’t directly take a jab at Ham, he clearly stated that the team hasn’t let him play his natural game.
