JJ Redick was right — that WAS weird.
On the Lakers’ rookie head coach and the playoff airballs that marred an otherwise impressive season.

Lakers listed at 6’10” or bigger played a grand total of 39 minutes across that 5-games series.
And I can’t say definitively that I’d regret that if I were JJ Redick. – 8:49 AM

Luka Doncic on JJ Redick: “I think he’s a hell of a coach. Not many coaches do the stuff he did in his first year. I’m really glad (he coached me). Feels sometimes like I’m back in Europe a little bit. We have a great bond … it’s been nothing but amazing.” – 2:25 AM

Extended thoughts from LeBron on JJ Redick:
“I think whatever happens, JJ will continue to grow. Thought he had a hell of a rookie campaign … it’s a hell of a lot harder being a rookie head coach coaching the Lakers. A whole other ballgame. I thought he handled it extremely – 1:54 AM

Al Horford passed fellow Celtic legend Paul Silas in playoff rebounds for No. 17 in NBA history.
He’s also tied with Jamal Murray and JJ Redick in three-pointers at No. 33. – 4:38 AM

“Yeah, I spoke to everyone yesterday that would have potentially played in the second half. They all understood it. There was no issue with that.” – JJ Redick, when I asked about preventing Gabe/Vando/Goodwin from viewing the Game 4 2nd half DNP-CDs as a lack of confidence. AK – 7:16 PM

JJ Redick on if film review from the 4th Q of Game 4 showed any fatigue from his players: “No. And you know what? What did we score, 19, 20 and 13 in the fourth quarter (of losses this series)? It’s a trend, more so than that. Our two best players missed layups at the rim” – 4:06 PM

JJ Redick made a calculated decision not to sit LeBron or Luka to start the fourth… and rolled snake eyes.
