This loss sparked renewed scrutiny of first-year head coach\u00a0<strong>JJ Redick\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0leadership and led former NBA star\u00a0<strong>Gilbert Arenas<\/strong>\u00a0to call for the return of erstwhile HC\u00a0<strong>Darvin Ham<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>On his Gil\u2019s Arena podcast, Gilbert Arenas sarcastically called out Lakers\u2019 rookie HC\u00a0JJ Redick\u00a0during their ongoing struggles. Arenas made the comment during a watch party, reflecting the frustration of Lakers fans and analysts alike. With the Lakers showing similar struggles to last season despite a coaching change, questions about the team\u2019s direction and accountability are mounting.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/APZegv56_5s\" data-id=\"APZegv56_5s\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/APZegv56_5s?feature=oembed&amp;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n<blockquote><p><em>Hey, tell (Darvin Ham) to come on back, man.

JJ Redick, a rookie head coach, has inherited a team facing a multitude of challenges, from the\u00a0overarching issue of their ageing superstars\u00a0to their much-criticized roster inconsistencies.<\/p>\n<p>For much of last season, a primary chunk of the blame for the Lakers\u2019 losses was attributed to the coaching failures of Darvin Ham and not to the highlighted roster issues. Fans expected an immediate shift in the team despite having nearly the same personnel under Redick\u2019s leadership. However, that has not transpired so far, as the Lakers sit with a 12-9 record, having lost 5 of their last 7 games.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-comparing-los-angeles-lakers-lakers-under-jj-redick-and-darvin-ham\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparing Los Angeles Lakers Lakers under JJ Redick and Darvin Ham<\/h2>\n<p>Through the first 21 games of the season, JJ Redick\u2019s Lakers have an identical 12-9 record to\u00a0Darvin Ham\u2019s team last year. However, key differences highlight the contrasting dynamics of their tenures. Under Ham, the Lakers stayed competitive in the inaugural NBA Cup and eventually won the tournament.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-1\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=kennyboy_117&amp;dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-1&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1863785133028843545&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Ffirstsportz.com%2Fjj-redick-getting-pass-awful-stretch-lakers-former-star-calling-darvin-ham-return%2F&amp;sessionId=1861c898ce113b9af2c6e3ddb089fac7bde7c5d0&amp;siteScreenName=sportzfirst1&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1863785133028843545\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>This year, however, Redick\u2019s squad has already been eliminated from NBA Cup contention following losses to Phoenix and Oklahoma City.
