Darvin Ham made some noise on Wednesday night when he went after Steve Kerr for his comments after Game 4 of the Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers series.
Kerr accused the Lakers of flopping every game, and Ham didn’t like that, calling out his fellow head coach for his remarks. Oddly enough, Ham made some similar comments to Kerr’s at the end of Game 5.
The first-year head coach said he didn’t know what a foul was even though the Lakers played the game the same way they played the past four.
Darvin Ham said the Lakers played the same way they’ve always played tonight despite their 15 free-throw attempts: “I don’t know what’s a foul anymore.”

These comments came after Ham said he doesn’t criticize referees, unlike Kerr. Flash forward, the former Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach found himself in the same position, taking a jab at the officials.

In the end, the Warriors won Game 5 121-106, extending the series for a Game 6 that can send it back to Chase Center if the Dubs manage to dominate the Lakers. Anthony Davis suffered an injury and it remains to be seen if he’ll be available to play. Without AD, the job will be harder for the Lakers.
The Warriors haven’t lost any hope and they’re planning to come back home one more time in this postseason.
The Los Angeles Lakers Have Gotten A Lot Of Calls Against The Warriors
The Lakers have been criticized not only for Kerr but other people for flopping, and referees often buy their acting, granting them many fouls. Before Game 4, they had taken 44 more free throws than the Golden State Warriors, which raised a lot of eyebrows around the league.
This could be a big factor in their win or loss, but the Purple and Gold know they are a team with other weapons and won’t hesitate to use them. This series has become a very entertaining one and we can’t wait to see what’s next for both teams. Game 6 is scheduled for this Friday and everybody is waiting to see a big clash.
