Jj reddick was drafted to the nba in the first round, played 11 seasons, scored 12 thousand points, retired, became a podcaster, then became a coach and the WHOLE time Lebron has been a top 10 player. Flabbergasting.
As a Lakers fan, saying they're "title contenders" after 4 games is a massive overstatement. Yes, JJ Reddick does seem to be more hands on than Darvin Ham but let's not forget that this is his first year as a head coach and saying that he'll coach the Lakers to the finals is the craziest expectation anyone could possibly have. He's going to have some struggles throughout the season just like everyone else. And in the Nuggets perspective, I wouldn't be surprised if Mike Malone takes Westbrook out of the starting lineup sooner than later since the bad typically outweighs the good with him.
Darvin Ham was hands on, but LeBron and Klutch Sports made it clear they weren’t willing to let him run the team. It was year after year of stating they wanted the game to flow through AD but ultimately LeBron driving the game. I have no clue how Swish misses this. For whatever reason, LeBron (so far) is allowing JJ to coach the team to play the way they stated they intended to literally since AD got there. Maybe it’s because LeBron has ticked off all his accolades (scoring leader, playing by with son, etc.). Yes, AD was injured some of that stretch. But not all of it. But it was still all about LeBron. When they win, “LeBron was sensational”. When they lose “AD needs to step up and LeBron nEeDs MoRe HeLp” 🤦♂️ I’ll be such a happy lakers fan when LeBron is out of the league. But I guess Klutch Sports could still be doing what they do for all we know.
@@mhm35Do you watch games or jusr read comments? AD was injured and inconsistent for large spells in the past few years. He has had playoffs of being hot and cold. Thats literally the reason bron won fmvp. AD was inconsistent. Now AD is hot for 4 games and the past 5 years never happened?
@ numerous star players become inconsistent when paired with LeBron. Chris Bosh, Kevin Love, to name two of many (he’s played with so many all stars and olympians over his career). Injuries I already acknowledged for AD. But LeBron, like Harden, is a system to himself. Everyone has to adjust to his whims, his play style, etc. I’m just shocked that people are like “Ham was a bad coach,” when in his intro press conference he said he was gonna make AD the focal point. So Redick is doing it now? Great. that’s just confirmation of what I already knew. Lebron leaves a wake of coaches behind him.
dame and giannis isn’t the problem tbh the problem is the coaching duo of doc rivers and darvin ham that is bound to make a team fail, hurts to see as a bucks fan
I was told constantly by non-Laker fans that Darvin Ham was a "scapegoat" lol. No, we've been trying to tell y'all that he's a bad coach from the jump, and the fact that JJ is coaching this almost exact same Lakers team and making them look way better than before is evidence that Ham Sandwich didn't know what he was doing.
You know what i likes when mike malone wa shit talking after the nuggets won the ring just because i love trash talking in sports. And i hate when people complain that niggas dont shit talk as much now but when someone does shit talk now they call them corny or they feeling themselves too much. Bro you gotta make up yall mind do yall want trash talking or not because im down for it.
Russel Westbrook will always be Russel Westbrook and his issue is that it’s hard for him to gel with a team on the court but once he fits into a system he’s going to be in god mode and once he enters his zone it’s unwise to just count him out
@@Settriz correction Westbrook has never been in a winning system the closest thing he had to 1 was his in old before Durant left but they were still young and he hadn’t reached his prime yet in reality if jd never left okc they would have been the clear number 1 team in the west over the warriors
You preserve Embiid and PG’s bodies for the playoffs, they probably wouldn’t have built enough on court chemistry to make a run. You play them in the regular season they’re likely to get hurt. Why would we ever trust them? Not sure
As a Nuggets fan I’ll say we’re just the tip of the iceberg for the new CBA. I’m fascinated to see how things play out for teams like the Celtics and Thunder who are gonna have MASSIVE bills due soon enough.
Championship windows are smaller than ever. I guess the league got what it wanted with parity. Thunder may not have another chance after 2026 despite all their youth.
I'm sorry but i feel the embiid take is really weak. Back-to-backs increase the chance of injury as there is insufficient recovery time. Embiid has had injury issues in the playoffs and he has under performed. Now he's trying to reduce the chance of injuries in the hope of performing better when it matters most and your reaction is: nah, you shouldnt even try because you will suck anyway. I mean, to me that's an emotional take that feels cheap. I'm not an embiid/sixers fan but i can understand the thinking to come to this decision...
You say you’re not a Sixers fan but you sure get overly emotional about Embiid like a Sixers fan. At no stage did he say Embiid sucks so he’ll never win, he said it’s hard to win a ring and you may not ever win a ring regardless of if you can cook everyone in the league during regular season.
@@bensmith9984”overly emotional” how was he overly emotional? This is a very level headed comment. And I agree, it makes no sense to say that embiid is better off chasing regular season awards. No other players get that treatment. The goal of any player should be to win a chip, and to miss a relatively small amount of games cuz of back to backs to preserve your body for the playoffs is very logical in this case.
@@bensmith9984"Imagine saving himself for the playoffs, only to inevitably get injured or worse, underperform in the playoffs" What part of my take was overly emotional to you?
@@maartenvz The part where you put words into the guys mouth that he never said, and you totally misconstrued what he meant by what he said. You heard Embiids decision may not work the way he wants it to and you got upset by it, you started imagining the guy said Embiid sucked and that he shouldn’t try. Bit of a whiny teenager mentality.
It's way too early to call, but on first impressions alone, JJ is doing fantastic. Listened to him for years on his podcast(s), he is immensely knowledgable in all things basketball. I think he'll do great, bit calling the Lakers title contenders - I'm not quite there
Swish, it's time to admit that Bronny James is the greatest player of all time, no finals, MVP, all NBA losses, Ant is shooting 0-1 against him🤷♂️🔥 Not to mention highest scoring father and son duoo
The JJ redick effect is coming through early and also JJ redick new offensive system has fully unlocked 🔓 Anthony Davis earlier on in the season and he's having an MVP caliber season this far.🏀💯
honestly not a lakers fan at all but JJ is a pretty good coach i doubted him this summer as being a head coach but hes proving me wrong so far turned these bums into a decent team and playing the offense through AD like they should have been doing for years
How can people say that their championship contenders when the season has just started? Really, I hope they flop. Do you have your favorite for MVP and Rookie of the Year JJ for coach of the year? Right come on, bro
I feel like the Celtic disrespect was just Sports talk media hyping it up. Yes they did get a nice smooth path through the east because of upsets and injuries, but they were clearly the best team in the league. I feel they were the most legit champion in the last four years.
Great reviews I wish westbrooke could go to the second round also does anyone think they should kept Kley and Green kind off kicked off the anyone who wanted to play with them off the team.
I don't get why people are mad at Embiid. Part of why he hasn't gotten to the finals is injuries. So sacrificing the rs for the playoffs - at least trying that an idea, makes sense. But people are calling him weak for theorising a way to have more playoff success?
I will be mad if Chet turns out to be better than Wemby. Chet progressing and Wemby kinda wanting to play like an inefficienct KD has me smoking the Wemby pack.
We all underestimate JJ Redick as lakers New Coach because of his no experience but he deserves credit on Lakers start 3-1 record start of this the offensive looks good AD playing great and Lebron but the question is can they be consistent next 30 game etc let's see can make playoffs
Cheat has a year on Wemby, I figure it’s going to take him half a year to get right. I’ve been saying it’s going to take him 2-3 years to really shine. You have to have realistic expectations, he’s nothing like LeBron or Jordan, probably will never be as good, however I genuinely think he will be a top 5 player in the league for *many* years.
I get it…we’re happy the season started and you gotta make content but GIVE IT ABOUT TWO WEEKS before we start saying what mfs are averaging currently lol
If Boston only wins 1 championship this decade after all the contracks they have it would be a bigger disappointment then the big 3 in 08 winning only 1 championship lol
if i was JJ Reddick as a coach i would of instantly trade off Both Lebron james and his son. get rid of DeAngelo. work on the rest of the team and find more defensive players that can role play really well.
The West really gonna be fun to watch all year The standings are gonna be flip flop weekly depending on how hot or cold a team gets with the heightened compeition
Lakers a title contender? They will be under .500 in a couple weeks and it will be down hill from there. Lakers fans really don’t understand what their biggest problem is

Bugtussel Westbrook is just being himself
I think he should've just went to a team that's rebuilding, instead of coming off the bench and basically playing offball when he's back dominant
Even when Westbrook is in "his zone" he loses. He is not a winning player
Should have just stayed in DC

Or, the players didn't play for Darvin Ham. Nobody ever thinks about the ins and outs of the locker room in sports, JJ must just be a genius.
There’s many variables, not just one. You’re being a binary thinker too.
Ain't no party like a Diddy party
Say it
Always looking forward to the new season and hearing what you have to say.
I have no belief in the Lakers until the playoffs. They look "championship ready" every year since 2020 and every year we get the same result.

76ers being the clippers of the east is so true in many ways
