    JJ is vastly superior to Ham, it is not even a question or any kind of thing. Dude just makes smart calls. Most sensible coach since Riley. I want to say best coach since Riley, but Phil was dang good, I just never understood his method. I could follow Riley's calls, I would scream to do something, and it would get done. I always could predict his calls. I could rarely predict a Phil call. I have recently found myself screaming, call a gall danged timeout and JJ does. It is a nice feeling. Especially when we win it afterwards.

    I mean obviously it doesn’t happen most likely if we don’t get Luka, but he’s still had to balance playing these stars together and getting a team to buy in on defense, he’s been incredibly impressive for a rookie.

    When I heard him yell for Rui to run the floor the other night vs Dallas and Lebron hit him with a wide open layup, it gave me goosebumps. Little stuff like that means a lot.

    JJ really delivered this year. I was hoping for him to be a good rookie coach, but he went above and beyond, for sure.

    JJ really came through for us the fans

    Had the team prepared and did game management very well

    Players are buying in and it looks like we have our coach for many years

    Getting him and Luka in the same season is special

    Go Lakers!

    Good job, now comes the hard part. We need to at least get to the Western Conference Finals.

    Aside from the DK thing that I don’t understand, really nothing to complain about.

    Excellent job.

    Huge props to JJ and the staff. They have exceeded any realistic expectations and delivered in a huge way. I love how he has the team focused and his rotations have been really good all season. Here’s hoping for more of the same in the playoffs.

    He is, but i don't want him to get the hardware cause that doesn't end well for HCs.

    Without a doubt the best coach we've had since Phil Jackson. I'm also ranking him currently 3rd in the past 40 behind Phil and Riles. Hell of a feat for a rookie coach.

    Explain it to me again please. Though you say the above and it's really all true .... why do you keep the ATGROE sig in place? For newcomers not used to Zen's particular hard core level of cynicism :clap: that's short for Anything To Get Rid Of Everyone stated with :swear: :swear: :swear: emphasis. Including the coach, team, FO and ownership. Born from another era a very short time ago. My only guess would be reverse jinx at this point. Is that what you said before?

    FWIW, I love beets. Red beets marinated in mango vinegar, cooked in lemon infused olive oil. Yum!!

    Beets actually reduce Blood pressure better than any pharm
    And JJ job is very dangerous in this regard

    I don't know if they are better than pharm, but I can confirm they reduce blood pressure noticeably.

    I already sent him an arrangement, along with an “Edible Arrangement” made solely from beets.

    He’s been much better than I anticipated, but I have one small gripe: Somebody tell him that he should never wear green, not before or after a game, not at the practice facility, not on off days, not even at home.
    NEVER.
