Head Coach JJ Redick Discussion: Spazzing Out

Does Cranjis follow up that post with any data? If you’re going to say something is objective, you have to provide data. Never been a fan of his work. Pretty bad player evaluations and often puts in a lot of hours to draw highly questionable conclusions.

That said, this is not meant to be a blind defense of JJ. He’s trending in the wrong direction and I’m pretty unhappy with how stubborn he’s been with lineups.

 

Ham would be 2-17 in games where's no LeBron,Luka or Austin
He couldn't involve healthy AD in almost every second game,can only imagine what he would do with Ayton in start

 

I like this tone much better from JJ

 

Lebron and Luka weren't in the mood to be lectured.

 

Ironically a lot of opposing scouts said, that Ham actually ran good sets and plays, but the team went away from them later in games for some reason.

 

yeah, i hated the way he talked about the recent losses, just abdicating responsibility. lame s***. ham s***.

yeah, that was my point in my questioning cranjis's evaluation, suggesting ham was better.

wonder if someone played back his own comments to him, film style.

yeah, this is the thing i keep coming back to--the guys who are paid millions and have spent years preparing for these moments keep coming to the same conclusions: abandon set offense, just vibe with superstar talent. is this laziness or is it truly the logical result of intensive analysis.

i watched some of the clips game last night, and the gameplan on offense was just "let james cook". seriously, the whole thing. ol' ty auerbach just high screened harden until the blazers submitted. it's ugly and unimaginative. i assume they know things i don't.

 

At this point Id prefer Frank over JJ.

 

Coaching Staff | Los Angeles Lakers

The issue is the staff. Chris Jent was an assistant under Darvin Ham and probably better than any assistant we have right now.

Darvin was a bozo and the scheme wasn't perfect, but it was clearly better than what we have now, IMO.

Spend the money and upgrade the staff.

 

f***ing idiots up top treated him like s*** for no reason.

 

There isn’t a more useless position in basketball than the assistant coaches. There have been very few exceptions, but useless beyond that.
