JJ Redick Was Right but Made a Big Mistake

JJ Redick Was Right but Made a Big Mistake

Leave it the first take to bring the worst out of JJ reic now other players are calling JJ a bum he ripped Doc Rivers for blaming his own team but a lot of coaches do that Greg papovich Phil Jackson so how is Doc different well doc just told Stephen A Smith it is

Personal between me and JJ what does that mean so JJ goes on first take and unprovoked goes on this rant it’s like that Meme that says no one JJ reck I’ve seen the for years what’s the trend the trend is always making excuses get doc

We get it taking over a team in the middle of the season is hard but it’s always an excuse It’s always throwing your team under the bus there’s never accountability with that guy the pin drop and everything what did Doc do to deserve that we’ll take a look but the

Response from other players was Savage but NBA games are back which means Underdog fantasy is back now you could have been playing many different sports like PGA golf but me I’m a basketball guy and I love the game called pick them where you pick higher or lower on your

Favorite players or whatever game you’re going to watch that night you can up to 20 extra money but you will always have a lot more fun watching it win or lose hopefully we win with these two picks first up is Luca we’re going to go higher on his points he’s actually

Averaging over 34 points this year against the Suns then we’re going to go Josh Hart on his rebounds and assists also higher he’s gone higher nine of the last 10 or you can just go with one of my picks and go with any one of these four projections that they have for post

Hoops former doc big man marine Gortat says yep I agree Patrick Beverly says his current coach saved JJ’s career how dare you call him out so JJ says hey Pat I had a big offer from another team to be a starter out of here Sav my career

But doc son Austin defended his dad and slammed JJ’s game it’s just a strange coming from JJ your best years in the NBA were when you played for him in the Clippers I don’t know if there’s like frustration there or there’s tension there between you I know a lot of times

We had to sit you towards the end of the game due to defensive reasons it’s just very ironic and kind of weird doc benched JJ for bad defense well former Clipper Spencer HW said statistically inaccurate statement but if we want to talk about someone whose career got

Saved by doc this whole thing is getting ugly well JJ’s two best stance were in LA and Philly he scored more points as a sixer but had the same playoff success I would argue though his Clipper days were better because he was more efficient which is more important for a shooter

But that’s not what this is about the point is JJ calling out DOC for blaming other people for his failure we all know doc has the record for most blown 3-1 leads as a head coach his first was in Orlando before his’ 08 Championship he

Then blew two 3-1 leads in LA but he’s also blown four 32 leads with the magic Celtics twice and Sixers also is 6 and 10 in game sevens regardless of the lead and just 17 and 33 in series clinching games at some point it is not a fluke

Doc is a deeply flawed coach unless you ask him Orlando team was the APC no one gives me credit for getting up against the Pistons who won the title that was an APC go look at the I want you to go back and look at that roster did he

Really just say go look at my roster I am sorry but disrespecting your former team is a really bad look and no JJ was not on that team the Clipper team that we lost 31 Chris Paul didn’t play in the first two games and was playing on one

Legane oh so it was injuries in 2015 except in game six La was up 8768 then Houston outscored him 51 to 20 to come back and win James Harden must have been great nope he was on the bench down the stretch the gu’s LA couldn’t stop Josh Smith and Cory Brewer and Doc

Blames injuries in game seven Houston dominated to take the series so JJ was on that team and probably got annoyed by that excuse but that wasn’t personal what’s personal is is Doc calling out players by name like saying Ben Simmons doesn’t love basketball if you don’t love the game uh the playoffs always

Exposes guys who really love because the pressure of the playoffs if you don’t absolutely love it it will eat you up if he loved it or if I could get him to play this way like he is a freak of nature athletically bodywise but the rest of the park wasn’t there that is

Harsh because Ben is still in the league and has to earn another contract JJ is a fan of Ben defended him when he was his teammate has him on his podcast but one of the most controversial things doc has ever done was helped trade Shay gild just Alexander for Paul George SGA

Has become a franchise player and people wonder if doc messed up by not trying harder to keep him what did doc say about that I even brought it up to Kawai are you sure I think Shay is going to be an amazing player it might take a year

Or two but I think you’re underestimating how good Shay is going to be really so it was kawai’s fault look I wanted to keep SJ I asked kawhai are you sure but he said yeah so all of this has been bubbling under the surface for JJ and probably a lot of other

Players I think JJ speaking for a lot of guys when he went off on first take you know they hear these little things and get annoyed but what really set JJ off was Doc’s recent comments on the bucks when they lost to the Grizzlies before Allstar he said not my fault had some

Guys here some guys in Cabo he took credit for the James Harden trade to La they made calls I was one of the guys who said you know trading for James Harden would be a great deal for LA because I thought he would fit them better than he would fit the Sixers but

The most frustrating comment from Doc is about how he got the Bucks job and I got to admit this one actually pisses me off to be honest I I told our owners when they called I said I think you I don’t understand why you’re doing this you

Know uh um and they said you know one of the things they said was well it doesn’t matter we’ve done it now and um we we we want you so he says look I know we’re three and seven since I got here but I didn’t even want this job they basically

Forced me to take it I told him I don’t know what you’re doing but I guess if I have to and the worst part he was advising the Bucks owners before all this happened so it makes it look like he undermined Adrien Griffin and stole his job so JJ couldn’t take it anymore

And called out DOC for his years of BS and excuses and he was right but something just felt off while he was doing it I mean if I didn’t even see the video I just heard JJ I would tell you yeah he’s on first take really leaning

Into the hot take screaming A Smith thing and that’s just not him I mean when JJ broke into media it was with his podcast and it was really refreshing like smart conversations that you enjoyed without getting yelled at I never thought JJ would take the Kendrick Perkins route to rising in media it

Seems like he wants to be above that he even complained that his doc Rivers’s rant went viral when his nerdy takes do not I can do a video on my podcast I break down the last nine games the Pelicans have used Zion Williamson as the primary ball handler 54,000 views on

YouTube but I want to call out a coach yesterday oh that gets tens of millions of of engagements that’s the ecosystem we live in so do fans actually want to be educated or not okay point taken but Don’t lecture us on what we like some people have like kids and jobs and can

Only devote like a half hour to consume other stuff maybe we don’t care as much about the intricacies of the Pelicans offense Ethan Strauss made a good point maybe I like listening to music but I don’t want to learn how to read music or how they recorded it and if you are so

Above that JJ why do the Doc Rivers rant to begin with let someone else do it this whole thing was a mistake cuz he was Hamming it up for First Take ESPN is already elevating JJ by making him the lead commentator on NBA games so trying

To be the next Kendrick Perkins is a mistake I will bet JJ regrets all of the drama that his comments caused even if he was right but everyone is upset at the NBA Allstar game it is completely unwatchable now but it wasn’t always like that and it turns out we can

Pinpoint the exact moment that killed the allstar game
