Darvin Ham Sums Up Lakers vs. Nuggets Series With Two Words

The Los Angeles Lakers lost a heartbreaker to the Denver Nuggets on Monday night thanks to a Jamal Murray game winner with four seconds to go.

The loss ended the series in just five game and sent LeBron James and Los Angeles home, while the Nuggets move on to face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round.

For as much heat as LeBron took throughout the first round of the NBA Playoffs, the only one who took more was head coach Darvin Ham, who very well could be coaching from a different sideline next season after the early playoff exit.

Following the game, Ham summed up the franchise's feelings with just two words: "It's tough."

The final score read 108-106. LeBron finished with 30 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists. But it was Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter Jr. and Murray who combined for 83 points and proved too much.

"It's tough. It's tough, man," Ham stated to the media after the loss.

One fan had a funny comment on the statement after it made its rounds on social media.

"Nobody:

Darvin Ham: It’s tough, it’s tough," wrote one.
