Head Coach JJ Redick Discussion: Spazzing Out

i'll pile on with the lack of organized offense. at some point, someone needs to get jj to explain it, even if it means throwing luka or lebron under the bus. like, if your stars won't play the better way, it's your job to get them to do so. you're going to be fired either way if stuff keeps happening like that, so you should go out the way you want. i feel like jj has indicated he's aware the team looks better when they actually run offense. it's on him to get them to do it.

but ham knew it and had the same problem. and that was pre-luka, btw...

 

This postseason is huge for him too.

 

Yeah that's a bit weird. I wonder if it's to save it for the postseason. Nowadays there's so much data and video analysis that I think some teams try to hide a few things. And I think we do it massively.

For years we barely run Bron/AD P&R which was constantly very tough to guard. There would be full regular season games not running it once


As for JJ, he'll always have next year unless something extraordinary happens. We have a good record, team's fit is awkward so he'll get a pass.
But I think next year is where he needs to deliver if we do the roster haul we are expecting

 

yeah, folks keep saying the postseason this year is the referndum, but i think it's next year. after that, no excuses for rob or jj whatsoever. the luka trade reset the timeline for me.

 

If I'm reading you guys right, you basically think it's Lebron's fault.

 

i need people asking jj about that and about the organized offense (lack thereof).

 

Yeah I hate that lineup

In his defense, at the 2:20 mark in the 4th Smart was ready to go in. Then Rui hits the corner 3 and JJ tells him to comeback and didn't go to it again.
Rui was also matching up Banchero, which is a bit too big to Smart. But I would still put Bron on Paolo and have Smart with Bane

 

we looked pretty good before Lebron came back. When he first came back he blended in, but then injuries/ego/whatever took over.

JJ needs to be strong enough to call this ish out. It's ugly to watch.

 

Atkinson was available when the Lakers fired Ham. I’m sure I advocated for him but we again went with the feel good hire garbage, can’t wait to have a front office overhaul

yeah, one way to get touches is offensive rebounding. another way is mentioned in this article: beat your guy down the floor and seal. laravia does it all the time and people look for him. they'd look for you, too.

 

this guy f***ing sucks

 

if JJ is out, Rob should be as well

 

everyone aside from luka needs to go really

this entire organization needs a retool from top to bottom

 

15-20 games does NOT a season make.
