Dan Hurley was after Lakers' Playoff's exit

After the 2023-24 season, the Lakers continued after leaving the NBA playoffs by head coach Darvin Ham.

Then the Lakers interviewed several candidates for head coaches before making a run at Uconn Huskie's head coach Dan Hurley.

Hurley would reject a six-year offer of $ 70 million from the Lakers and instead return to Storrs, Connecticut.

This finally led to the Lakers JJ Redick, the former NBA player who was a podcast moderator alongside LeBron James.

Almost a year and the Lakers lost in five games in the first round of the NBA playoffs against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

It was an unfortunate end of the year, especially when Luka Doncic came to the city in February.

Nevertheless, Hurley began to trend on social media after the Lakers' exit.

While Lakers fans may have wondered what a hurley coach team looked like in the post-season, other fans pointed out that Hurley's Uconn team had the same number of post-season wins as LA.

“Lebron and the Lakers had the same amount of post season as Dan Hurley this year. Maybe that can help the Lakers fans this evening,” wrote a fan.

“What are you very good this Wednesday?

“Lakers fans who joked last month … at least Dan Hurley made it over the first round,” wrote another.

“Dan Hurley still came out of @lakers in a down year,” published another.

“Dan Hurley in a reconstruction year at Uconn: A Nach season round JJ Reddick with two generational players on the victories of the Lakers: Zero Nach season,” said a fan.

“Uconn Twitter fired all the Laker fans who opened Dan Hurley because he had won a playoff game this year when JJ Reddick did exactly the same, but with Luka and LeBron Lol …” said.

Hurley and Uconn have won two consecutive national titles this year. This time the Huskies won in the first round of March Madness against Oklahoma before lost to No. 1 Seed Florida, the later national champion.

After Uconn's loss, the Lakers fans wasted no time to make fun of Hurley, so it is not surprising that Uconn fans will fire back after the Lakers' rapid exit.
