JJ Redick offered some fascinating ideas about his new crew following the Lakers first couple of pre-season video games.
Redick mixed his love of basketball and Christopher Nolan films to clarify the place the Lakers are in proper now.
“(The Lakers) have a LIMBO fee,” Redick defined. “LIMBO is you’re not crashing and also you’re not getting again. We had been the worst crew within the league final 12 months at a LIMBO fee. In a great world, everyone crashes and we take care of the implications of that. So we’ve acquired to kind of emphasize that and emphasize staying out of limbo. I consider that was ‘Inception,’ everyone knows what occurs if you get caught in limbo.”
Redick doesn’t assume the crew has been been doing too dangerous a job of getting beauty, now its about making these photographs go in.
“I really assume we’ve achieved a fairly good job of getting beauty,” Redick mentioned. “There have been a pair compelled in transition and off of the dribble within the first half. Then there have been a few offensive rebounds within the second half that I believed possibly we may have saved the ball transferring and acquired a greater shot. However I just like the mindset general to shoot when set, shoot good threes.”
One participant Redick has been quietly impressed by on protection, which isn’t his sturdy swimsuit, is Austin Reaves.
“I by no means thought he was a chump defensively, however he competes his ass off on that finish,” Redick mentioned after the Lakers’ follow Tuesday. “He is aware of what he’s speculated to do. He’s in the correct spots. If he’s speculated to veer, he veers. If he’s speculated to be the low man, he’s the low man. If he’s speculated to be on the nail, he’s on the nail. He simply does quite a lot of actually good issues on the basketball ground.”
