JJ Reddick is so damn annoying to me. I can barely watch this video.

I listened to the whole podcast, and it was telling. Also, this podcast was recorded last Tuesday? (or Wed), before Ham was officially fired.
That initial point about containing Murray and him shooting high 30s was great. Jokic did his thing. But MPJ was the X-factor.
Not sure if it’s included in this clip, but he talks about the differences between great, good and bad teams (or coaching staffs).
The great coaches only put their players in situations they’re good at (using Gordon in the dunker spot, for example), and said DEN is very good at that. JJ adds in basically like not wasting or forcing players into roles they don’t excel at.
I took it as a subtle jab at Ham. I’m obviously biased.
Also, every episode of this podcast gaslights me into thinking Redick would be a solid choice for coach lmao.

Big problem with the Lakers dynamic is all year they had DLO as the 3rd guy on offense behind Lebron and AD instead of AR.
DLO is a career playoffs underperformer. Over 4 playoff runs he’s 39 fg% and 32.7% from three. The problem with the team wasn’t that the team sucked, it was that they have a false 3rd man.
AR is arguably better in the playoffs. His best skills (driving and drawing fouls) all WORK. If the Lakers want to make the finals next year, he has to be their 20/5/5 guy at minimum.

At the 10:50 mark of the OPs vid Lebron says,
“Meaning a great team, won’t go through too many games where they had terrible possessions where it’s like, wtf are we doing?”
Again, the common theme, along with what AD said after game 2, “we have stretches where we don’t know what we’re doing.” And the article that has someone from the Lakers saying, “we need to be coached too.”
That pretty much sums it up right there.

If Ham is the coach till 2032: Let’s make sure clutch people like Jamal Murray or Kyrie Irving get to take the last shot, let’s see if they can make that shot 10 times in a row.

Lakers developed bad habits when it came to sustaining leads. That’s why one of my least favorite games was that loss to the Nets. Just unserious basketball, and that took over in the third every time against the Nuggets.
