He signed up for this fish bowl. He signed up to being scrutinised 24/7.

Vecenie just called Redick a sick sick f***

So much knowledge and passion for the sport. I have little doubt he's going to be a great coach.

We still have to wait and see how he manages players and personalities, but that's something every coach develops with experience.

lol at all this terminology. A lot of effort to say they set a screen, and then a pick and roll for AD to roll to the basket from the weakside for a lob.

:lol:

The Lakers don't look terrible against a team that traded a key piece during the pre-season and everyone can't get the content/tweets/hot takes out fast enough. Let's pump the brakes and check back in three months.

How does he lead this team through adversity, how does he motivate them during a losing streak, how does he handle playing guys at the end of the bench when his starters miss time due to injury....that will determine how good of a coach he is.

Isn’t this a totally separate topic? Looking at the list of COY winners, it’s a bunch of mediocre names. COY conversation is really about surpassing expectations, not really about being a great coach.

JJ is legit but can't say about same about the players. Sooner or later Lebron will throw him under the bus like 4/5th of his coaches

Also what is with these mid 40s men who learned basketball lingo in their mid 30s pissing their panties on twitter over normal basketball plays?

Against a team that lost a very important piece of the puzzle and added a very different type of star player. The thing is Lakers never won opening nights or important milestone game nights so everyone is pretty high from that win. This is the honeymoon period of JJ's coaching career.

Early on I actually expected more with great sets that enable them to get very high % shots but I barely saw that esp in the first quarter.
But in the crucial 4th Quarter when the TWolves crept back to just a 4 pt deficit, Lakers got high % shots.
9:32, DLo with a 5 foot floater
9:11 James with a 2 foot layup.
8:37, Hayes with a dunk
then 4 FTS,
6:05, AD with a 7 foot shot then 2 more FT''S
then Rui with an 11 foot shot.
So I am hoping they have that very deliberate plan they saved to execute those set plays in 4th quarters.

I don't know about COY but Lakers looked pretty good and the coaching difference between JJ and Ham looks pretty stark already.

I hope JJ becomes 10x more smug after collecting his COY.

It's time to admit the truth, RealGM Fam,

82% of NBA coaches don't know what they're doing,

The best way to develop coaches is through more analytical podcasts with players who have strategy-, tactic- and psychology-based knowledge 8-)

Even tho this was semi sarcastic. Jj is already 10x the coach ham was. Lakers are 1-2 at best with ham instead of jj. The difference is night and day

How long can JJ continue to play AD nearly 38 mpg? It's working so far, but with AD's injury history, he's definitely tempting fate.

JJ's playing his starters heavy minutes early into the season, which you'd expect coming off of a long break, but I predict it's not going to be sustainable.

If this goes the way it’s gone so far, obviously long way to go, but I need to see tnt guys like Barkley issue an apology for how they went at the Lakers and defended Ham.

What sane person would argue at this point that JJ has any chance of being worse than Ham.
