It has been that kind of season for the Golden State Warriors, struggling to find winning combinations. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers had a triumphant start, winning the maiden IST trophy, but after that, they also fell into a slump. The only common thing between both teams is that the head coaches have found themselves in the firing line. Moreover, the Lakers’ Thursday night game against Kevin Durant and his men further induced the fans’ wrath on social media.
Steve Kerr has been facing major flak even from the Dub Nation. The 9x NBA Champion has been constantly criticized for his player rotation policy. Moreover, fans showed up at the Chase Center with banners that read, “Fire Kerr.” On the other hand, fans regularly theorized that Darvin Ham has lost his connection with the Lakers locker room. Several reports also backed these theories.
