    They just beat Wolves with Bronny getting playing time so the chance of success is not zero. #LeGM

    JJ coming in with that youthful energy and going to turn some heads, say things people don’t want to hear and he will hopefully be impactful and not just taken as a joke because he’s young and inexperienced. Suggesting new balls or not “a good basketball” is not what he said but seems to imply is not the craziest thing, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a coach say we should play with balls that have been used before. So let’s see what the response will be.

    It's all fun and serious when you're 1-0.

    I like Redick.

    AD has been a menace lately. Probably the best form I've seen

    The Lakers looked good. They looked like they are getting coached for once. :eek:. The Suns will be a nice test on Friday night.

    He was the most impactful player at the Olympics even though LeBron and Curry got all the hype.

    What year is it, so we waited since his Pelican years and the Bubble for this?

    I was sure he won a few MVPs....he didn't.

    Que?

    Davis has been better than LeBron and Curry for years, but he hasn't ever been MVP level.

    They've been humbled, perhaps. Or Redick is better than we thought.

    They've beat some decent teams. Tonight they play their first road game against the Suns who they already beat.

    Tough to prove anything so early in the season, but I don't want to see them beat a good team on the road. That'd mean they're likely really good.

    LA is looking way better than I thought. JJ is incredibly smart and can relate to players. It’s not a surprise he’s got them playing well

    I think he is a good coach
    I think more than any other coach in LA
    He has LeBron's seal of approval

    LeBron finally stopped running from the "I don't hire the coach" narrative
    He still *SAYS* that but everyone *KNOWS* this is *HIS GUY*

    And the people that know it best are the ones that have to know it best
    HIS TEAMMATES

    Everyone feels that LeBron can run any teammate out of town that does not act right
    Guess What. . . more than any coach in the LeBron Era. .. . JJ CAN TOO
    JJ has the ear of the king and every player knows It
    So act right or GTFOH

    What I meant, injury prone and sometimes not great shape.

    Something that doesnt get mentioned though is JJ has NBA head coaches as his assistants, Nate Mcmillan and Scot Brooks. These two probably do a lot of heavy lifting behind the scenes, but where JJ makes an impact is on the player communication and in game rotations.
