    Last year we were 17-16 after 33 games, this year we’re 19-14, he’s gotten us 2 more wins with IMO a slightly worse roster to this point. We’ve also missed some time from LeBron, AD, a stretch without Reaves, haven’t had Vando or Wood for a single game, have had a mid first round rookie in our rotation, have had Hayes for 12 games, have had to play a backup C in Koloko that missed an entire year for 21 games, and had to deal with an offensively regressed DLo. We also swept the Kings, who swept us last season and had Ham begging them to tell us what they were going to run on offense so we could try to stop it. So, yeah, I don’t see how anyone could say Ham was better last year than JJ has been this year so far, it objectively isn’t true. He’s also empowered some guys to get better like Reaves and Max who Ham from some reports didn’t like, or from what we saw with our own eyes, just didn’t play at all.

    JJ is getting the team to buy in on the defensive end and the results are 8 wins in the last 11. Nice to see.

    Exactly.
    Anyone who watched all of last season, and were honest, could say that with everything that’s gone down, so far this season, Hambone would have been lucky to have this team at 14-19.

    So far so good with JJ. I honestly feel like everyone should be breathing a sigh of relief and feel good about the job he’s doing so far.

    He is doing a reasonably good job but like all jobs in sports, you are only as good as your last loss. You can go from a hero to a scrub in the blink of an eye.

    You can’t say someone is doing a good job when you are 9 games out of first and 2 games out of 8th spot. And the only reason for that record is because you played sac 3 times. And you never beaten a quality team .

    He got a DUI as a college athlete in 2006. 19 years ago. He's on your jit list for that? He drank to excess, said he was lost and regretted it, had everything handed to him at Duke and felt miserable because it wasn't what he thought it would be, he was an immature jock with elite skills, and his sisters helped him get out of it. He's been very candid about it. The horror!: a college student with out-of-control drinking!

    So this is what it seems like to me: you look in the biography of a person, find them at their worst, then that's who they are, forever? And you must remind everyone of this every time you post something? Kewl.

    Would you want someone to judge you for your worst period of life, forever?

    JJ's lucky he didn't kill anyone driving. The report says 0.11 blood alcohol, which is buzzed, but not blind drunk. I should know: I got a DUI in 1985, and I was even drunker than JJ was. BTW: mute me for this. I really don't give a flying eff.

    18 years ago. Redick had a really bad alcohol problem as a college student. And he's STILL "drunk boy" to you. Okay. I wonder what your real issues are. I get the feeling you're one of the 60 million Americans who have been traumatized by alcoholism in yourself, friends, or the family, but I'm just guessing. If so, I understand your problem with "drunks." But you're hardly being sober about this issue, from what I see. Your hatred for JJ Redick seems misplaced to me, but I'm ready to mute you, too, if only because it's the same thing over and over. Don't take this the wrong way, but it's boring. Do you have any...insights? Anything constructive, or even something new to say? Maybe a little not-angry humor? Have you ever forgiven someone, or do you use stuff like this as an excuse because you can't get your own creative life together?

    Holding on to emotions like this over a person you don't even know can be harmful to your health. I'm not tryna be a d*** here, but man: check in on your own life and see how you can make it better? Best of luck to you. Now mute me.

    What is the “88” a reference to?

    yeah, there tends to be a bit of undercurrent to both jj and some lebron detractors, and it's not about wine.

    FWIW, I muted him a long time ago but every once in awhile, when there is too much chatter that I am not understanding, I turn the mutes off to see what the fuss is. At least you can do that around here.

    20 and 14, 5th in the West is pretty darned good. Let’s see how we do in the Texas two step but so far I like how JJ has coached for the most part. As Weezy said, his willingness to utilize Max has been a revelation for the starting lineup and his trust in Reaves is really paying off. The team is buying in on the defensive end now and it’s great to see. If we can make one more roster move to improve we might just be a top 4 team in the West.

    Ahh...I did a little bit of searching I hadn't done before...things seem clearer now. With some things I'm incredibly slow on the up-take. And about which no one wants to read about here. Thanks for (sorta) clarifying.
