The Los Angeles Lakers are back in familiar territory: struggling. Fueled by the NBA's in-season championship, the Lakers have gotten off to a strong start, but currently sit at 17 wins and 17 losses, good for 10th place in the brutal Western Conference. As frustration mounts, Lakers fans on social media are venting their disappointment in a hilarious way: tons of memes.

The latest buzzword? A video of a Clark County judge being attacked by a man. Lakers fans have taken the video and given it a makeover, using it to represent every bad decision the team has made (and may make in the future). From questioning Darvin Ham's coaching ability ("Lakers fans finally meet Darvin Ham.") to mocking trade proposals ("The Lakers' 2020 championship doesn't count.") and even mocking the team's rotation ("The Lakers should sign him, he's got great bounce.") ....... The meme machine creates laughs and groans.

This meme-induced frustration stems from the Lakers' inexplicable inconsistency. Ham, who led the team to an in-season league title in his second season, endured a rocky start last year that initially brought him plenty of praise. But the recent slump has once again raised questions about his ability to effectively utilize the stellar trio of Anthony Davis, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook.

Despite the Lakers' resurgence in the second half of last season, many believe the Lakers' success was due more to changes in the rotation than Ham's coaching. However, his role in building team chemistry and leading the newly formed team to the Western Conference Finals cannot be overlooked.

However, expectations were high for him this season. The Lakers retained their core and fans envisioned a well-oiled machine. However, what they saw was an inefficient rotation and the dilemma of struggling to keep up with the West's elite. As a result, the blame game is in full swing, and Ham finds himself on one end of it.

While the Lakers' problems are convoluted, one thing is clear: Fans are feeling the sting of disappointment. Using the Clark County judge's memo as a weapon, they made the team understand that. Whether it's a coaching change, a roster shakeup or a refocus, one thing is certain: the Lakers need to find a way out of this mess, and fast. Otherwise, this "memo machine" will continue to run.
