I think felger gave JJ a popsicle headache in that interview

i love JJ the media member, I really wish he wasn’t leaving to go be a coach

That was so cringe ☠️

All 4 Boston sports teams could win their respective chips and Felger would still find ways to put them down. Waste of space, never got over his Roy Halladay comment

I feel like JJ came off pretty poorly in this exchange.

Felger went fishing for soundbites to troll “green teamers” with and JJ wasn’t biting. You love to see it.
fiskeybusiness
Felger is felger you know what you get with him buuuuut
JJ has become this holier than thou media talking head that—even if it’s true—makes no attempt to hide that he thinks he’s the smartest in the room
It’s just constantly context context context which is all well and good if I’m reading an AI generated article but brother would it kill you to have a take

It’s just annoying how the media realized some Celtics fans lose their mind when they downplay the Celtics and other teams fans eat that shit up. It’s best for ratings. It sucks. I’ve never seen this happen in pro sports where a dominant team gets no credit in the media cuz of ratings.

Felger is into felching
planj07
Eh let’s be honest JJ was being a dick and not giving anything to basic questions. He was not “getting schooled”.
And I’m not a Felger guy.

Felger is the Alex Jones of sports radio
PopLegion
we get it you guys hate 98.5 but this was like the most normal convo ever lmao. was the dunk JJ saying “i disagree”?

Felger and Mazz are known hacks that don’t watch games. Glorified shock jocks.
chuckthebuc
I hate Felger 90% of the time, but here I felt like he was just having an honest interview and JJ was giving this holier than thou attitude
cheezepie
What interview did you listen to OP? JJ Reddick came off as a dick who wasn’t interested in answering questions for a regional sports radio show. The guy is the most vanilla talking head in National Sports. He isn’t critical of anyone or any team. He only talks about the positives. He’s the opposite of what Draymond Green is doing on TNT right now. Reddick is the male version of Doris Burke in that neither of them seem to be watching the game they’re commentating on.

I’m born and raised in Boston, a lifelong Boston sports fan, and I HATE local Sports media guys like Felger.
Just absolute mouth-breathing wastes of oxygen, that I pray would just go play in traffic.

Felger notoriously says he hates having guests on, most likely because they make him look even stupider
SLOW_PHALLUS_SLAPPER
JJ was a dick the entire time, can’t school someone without actually answering a question.

I never thought I’d say this but I think I agree with Felger here unless I’m missing something JJ said? He says the better team wins in the playoffs and Felger points to Miami (presumably) beating the Celtics last year. Does anyone really think Miami was the better team? Or did a bunch of role players just get absurdly hot at the same/right time? Not to mention JT being injured for game 7…
cesare980
Disagree, Reddick was awful in that interview.
gochuuuu
JJ sounded annoyed af lmao
dehydratedbagel
This dude hates basketball, why is anyone listening to him anyway? Maybe he’s competent at discussing football? Maybe? Otherwise, I do not miss hate-listening to him on my commute home.

JJ was such an out of character dick during this, part of me thinks this was the actually the final interview for the Lakers head coaching job and he passed with flying colors.

Unpopular opinion I’m sure, but I think Felgerade more sense. I can’t stand him typically and hate his negative takes, but you can’t say Miami was the better team last year. Plus it seems like he was just trying to lead JJ into conversation and get a sound bite or 2, but Reddick was being difficult

Mike Felger is like a wrestler working the crowd. JJ is calling in so Felger can put him over the top.

I agree with JJ on the being “outworked” comment. In the playoffs, he’s 100 percent right it’s all about matchups and solving problems the other teams present. The casual fan just uses the term “outworked” because they don’t understand the nuances of what happens during these games.

Got schooled? Redick didn’t provide any sort of insight. It’s like he signed up for a sports talk show to give zero opinion.

Unlike most of you, I like Felger & Mazz, that said, their knowledge of the NBA is… not great. Felger is a casual Bucks fan who openly despises the Celtics and Mazz just isn’t well versed in the current NBA. I listened to this live, and was so perplexed and put-off by Felger’s Defense Attorney attack form of interviewing. He was so angry that JJ both didn’t share his odd view of the Celtics and wouldn’t bad mouth any of the Celtics.
Overall, why even do the interview? They harped on JJ after the interview, but I just thought they came off as lame. Not everyone has to approach the Celtics and the NBA with Felger’s weird angry hang-ups. It’s OK, Mike, relax. I put the blame solely on Jimmy Stewart, the shows normally fantastic producer. He shouldn’t have put his guest or his hosts in that position in the first place.

Reddick comes off like a real prick in this interview.

Reddick seems like a different kind of douche than Felger and came off as stiff and pompous. He also seemed petrified to speak an honest opinion with this possible job offer hanging over him. He was afraid of getting canceled and not getting the LA job.
Jimmy-Rabbitte
They’re so weird and rude. I don’t understand these people.
luvvdmycat
>Mike Felger gets schooled
Nah.
Felger correctly noted the effort issues of the Celtics.
JJ dismissed this valid observation with his usual superciliousness.
Y’all showing your true colors hyping the likely next coach of YOUR L.A. Lackers. 😂

JJ came across like an absolute asshat in this interview. Insanely smug and really just a waste of time. Don’t understand why he even called in
