When he doesn't call timeouts and lets the players run around like headless chickens.

It was if people actually thought this was a championship level squad if just that bumbling Ham guy was replaced. It was hilarious at the time, and then gets a retrospective laugh again now.
JJ is better but the roster is the bigger issue.

Ham was a major issue and the right choice was to let that bum go. JJ on the lmited time he's been here has been much better. The roster is a huge issue and i'll judge JJ when we go through a rebuild to see how the team develops under him.

Please explain how he has been much better. Has he been better defensively?
Ham got this team to the WCF in his first year. This team may miss the playoffs.
Communication is a part of coaching and many enjoy JJ’s communication style. Sadly there is much more to the job.

Ham literally refused to play the lineup that got us to the WCF for months last season. He has no ATO plays at all we've already seen JJ does.
Ham doesn't analyze the game that much is clear. He's a motivational coach is probably great at motivating players. He's not a coach.
Im optimistic about JJ. If that idiot Ham got two years giving us crap basketball JJ deserves just as much.
It's like people didn't watch us play basktball last season or the season before.
I didn't judge ham 10 games in and i sure as **** ain't doing that to JJ.
I hope Ham goes to your team and coaches. It's the Westbrook crap all over again. People needed to see him be garbage elsewhere to understand.

1) I’m a Lakers fan. I have thousands of posts in ISH and Lakersground dating back to somewhere around 2005ish. I’ve watched an insane amount of lakers basketball.
2) why do you think Ham didn’t play that lineup last year? You think he just forgot about it..if so then maybe you aren’t serious.
3) I’m not judging JJ, I’m just trying to set the parameters so that he gets held to the same standards that everyone else does. I’m also not very optimistic about JJ… I think he is going to start rubbing people the wrong way. The angry outbursts will stop being acceptable after a while.

Ham wasn’t a great coach but he had good defensive ideas could make good adjustments on that side of the ball.
JJ seems fine but it’s not much difference. Wouldn’t be surprised if he loses the locker room either. Neither are top tier coaches.

Do you think LeBron at age 39 is gonna be down with going through a rebuild? Or are you saying you’re willing to wait the 3-4 years before LeBron retires then give Redick another 2 years to see how the rebuild is going?
Meaning you’re willing to give Redick a total of 5-6 years before “judging” him?
