Head Coach JJ Redick Discussion: Spazzing Out

Haven’t listened to this, just reading the excerpt, sounds a lot like Magic and Rob when they first blew into the FO and inspired some of the hilarious Magic “FAT”/“Cankles” ART from @sirronstuff with their talk about body/fat %, etc, yada yada. If I wasn’t too lazy to walk over to the computer would post one. Never did figure out how to grab one from his library with a phone all these years in.

Allll the way across the room but as always I'm a giver:



long gone awful .... BUT Fun era



Byron .... Foxholes .... and Byron









Byron's Hold MY Beer to Luka .... OG "Blindsided" Experience

 

JJ needs to decompress a bit, he's just a bit frustrated IMO.There were some subtle little shots, being thrown about the roster, before the Luka trade.

Rob has already put out the.." I pick the players, but the HC is in control of the PT" comment. Now essentially " If we were in better shape...they wouldn't be as fatigued".(Luka).

He'd be wise to put a filter, on some of the public comments. He was Lebron's guy, Luka is here now. Things have changed, read the room bro.

We are The Los Angeles Lakers...take nothing for granted. Frank won a chip, got fired 2 seasons later. Ham went to the Conference Finals as a rookie coach, got fired the next season. Just win baby!!

If Luka decides that he's really not feeling you, Lebron won't be able to save you.

 

I think we need to look at upgrading the staff. Ultimately, do I think that makes a difference when JJ is going to make the decisions? IDK, but maybe he'll listen to an assistant like Mike Malone, Budz, etc.

Don't mind keeping Nate, Scott, or Greg on the staff, but maybe a new voice wouldn't hurt.

He was outcoached, but Finch is a damn good coach with a good roster.

Still bullish on JJ.

 

Yeah. Needs to work on his temperament. Hes good with the media overall but his answers the last few days and storming off like that just weren’t a good look in my opinion.

 

Yeah. I think overall he showed a lot of promise and I was definitely skeptical of the hire.

Another voice in the room wouldn’t be bad but I’m wondering who’s an up comer who could really help out with the offense.

 

I have to look: I like the thought of Malone, but he may have Reddick looking over his shoulders.

I think we need to look at everything. It's one thing when you're drawing up plays on a podcast; it's different when you're in the middle of a chess game against the other team and have to make those adjustments.

 

still don't get sniping about luka in the press. i mean, if there's a way to sour that relationship before it develops, that has to be it, right?

it's fine to speak to him in person about this stuff, but throwing passive aggressive shade...i don't think this is some sort of phil jackson master mind game you're playing. nor do i think that kind of stuff would work with luka.

the problem in dallas was that management didn't understand him/how to communicate with him. this is a bad start here, too.

 

Call it like it is. He’s not the same athlete at 26 that he was earlier in his career. He’s too young to be relying on old man game already. He was very exposed.

 

Then say Luka's name then, don't beat around the bush when you are blaming them (him)for the series. That is what it means by calling it like it is.

Chris Finch every game he had adjustments, the last game they decided to dump it to Rudy.

JJ last ditch effort was to play an injured player that have not played since January.

He basically alienated the whole team except Lebron. I guess that is smart because he got the job because of Lebron.

 

He got severely outcoached by Finch- no amount of blaming the players with remove this fact.

 

Buha's latest

 

He needs to chill the f*** down or he will blow a gasket.
He looks like i imagined Kobe being a coach
