Kerr watched Pop eviscerate the Heat with ball movement, and remixed it to unleash the 2 greatest movement shooters of all time. JJ otoh is working to leverage LAL's awesome frontline skill and rim pressure. Should be fun to see what he weaves together.
one thing i like about jj reddick offense that lebron dont have to do ever damn thing and can be fresh in late game situations ham whole offense was give lebron the ball and let him make a play and whatever happens happens
Bingo. Now we see the real Lebron. Which is an above average player, fringe all star. His entire career he just dominated the ball which allowed him to stat stuff. Unfortunately that led to a very lackluster career filled with empty stats. Now the team should be favored to win it all. If the dude just set his ego aside, with the level of talent he’s played with, he’d have 7-8 rings.
Y'all gotta stop the Taurean hate. Ham's lineups and rotations were terrible, sure, but Taurean was great for them and I think they'll miss him this year. Definitely should have kept a roster spot for him.
We actually could've easily been competetive since 2020. Got injured against the Suns up 2-1 in 2021. Had to live with Westbrook for 2022. Made a western conference finals run in 23. Then coach wouldn't start Rui and reaves until 40-50 games into the season before hustling to make a playoff spot. Not to mention no adjustmnets made against the Nuggets after getting routinely dogged by them. We've been very lowkey contenders despite not being high in playoff seeding. The 2023 run tells me we can still beat any team in front of us, or at least great teams that we have better matchups for.
@@ChetosWinn do you even watch live games? Lakers offense were just lebron passing the ball last sec to shooters or ad and bron p n roll, thats it. terrible offense. offball movement is nowhere to be seen, ham's a joke
As you said, the scariest part about how fluid the Lakers looked was that they were still bricking so many shots - great ones at that. A 44% FG percentage isn't the most heinous thing in the world, but 5/30 from 3? Imagine if they could land those.
JJ isn’t making him play in the post like Ham, he’s allowing him to catch & still have floor space to take his man. Giving it to him so he can get down hill. Hams offense had him post up, AD when then use the fade or jump hook, or he would give him the jumper from time to time. More like an old school big. JJ is trying to turn him loose with how he likes to play vs how the old school guys played him.
The thing is the Lakers are going to have nights where they go for 4-27 and then some nights they go 14-30 from 3 but they got great looks JJ. Reddick is a very good coach and the shots will go in.
they did not shoot the ball well behind arc last year. If I'm not mistaken I believe we were 26th in the league. JJ is exploiting how you can have bad shooting nights but still play through the offense and get easy layups. That's what they weren't doing last year.
One thing I noticed is that LeBron had no problem not having the ball most of the time. He was even benched under 5 minutes and was rested well. The offense was rotated well. And haters just clowning this but they faced a defensive team, TWolves. It wasn't an easy win supposedly but they didn't give Wolves even a comfortable lead.
The lakers with ham I swear would get down damn near every game in the 1st half. I'm sure jj has them focusing on getting good starts and then resting lbj for the 2nd half. So far they look deadly.
@@andreasoloansihotang8228 AD really tore up the court. Really straining the defense the whole game. AD dislocated the defense so he could get some easy looks.
My four biggest take aways from opening night: 1. Dominance despite not making any 3s. 2. Dominance despite a bad LeBron game 3. Reaves very clearly has the potential for a 22/8/6 year 4. Rui over performed any expectation If 1 and 2 fix themselves, 3 fillfills itself, and 4 wasn't a one-night wonder, then this is a championship team easy. However, if 1 and/or 2 are the new normal, then the Lakers need 3 to be true and need 4 to be consistent. Very excited for this season
The Lakers winning conditions are not too hard to achieve: 1. AD is healthy. 2. DLo is consistent. 3. Rui and Reaves contribute 12-15+ every game. 4. Team's 3-pt FG% doesn't even need to be elite, just an average number (around 35%) is more than enough for them to win against any team.
@@goseeaboutagirl DLo doesn’t need to be good. He just needs to not be absolutely horrendous on defense and to be an average play maker. The threat of him being a shooter, even when he’s off, is still valuable
when i saw the podcast wit bron and JJ i automatically had this idea that JJ needed to coach a team but i didn't expect bron to take him on the roster like this , JJ is a basketball mastermind coupled with bron high iq on the floor it's a recipe for greatness
As a Lakers fan, I enjoyed watching AD so much more last year when he was on my fantasy team. This year I was last pick in a 10 man draft and couldn't get him 🥲Had to settle for Embiid who's already out for the first week 😭
Frfr! They act like the lakers dont have the talent to win a chip! If it wasn't for Ham, lebron would have been in the finals the last 2 years.@jahiesa5056
No I remember people being upset Sacramento fired Michael Malone and Brooklyn fired Kenny Atkinson. But Darvin Ham wasn't a good enough coach for anyone to care.
I like a lot of what they did last night. It seemed like every cut lead to an easy basket. I'm still not sure how I like them using AD in the face up penetration. He had some good looks, and some bad ones, and some really tough ones that he made. It's going to be interesting to watch how that unfolds over the season.
But that is AD's NATURAL play style. Watch his early Pelicans seasons and and you'll see that he's most effective when he's in the perimeter rather than banging down low like a traditional big.
@@princemjbp695 I had to look up the stats up but they reflect what I’ve seen. Ad is not a great perimeter player even for his career. The last year he shot over 40% on shots between 15-19 feet was 2016. Since then he has been below 40% and has some seasons in the low 30s. He is very dominantly a paint oriented player as 50-70% of his shots have been within 6 feet. I’ve always been led to believe he dominated the mid range but the numbers say it’s untrue. He was only an average mid range shooter in his first 4 seasons and then fell off.
@@jay.rsingh2530 AD is still respected from that type of play style. Of course he has some really bad looks when he goes 1 on 1 in the midrange area, but if AD is not getting those shots to go in, im sure that JJ will find a way to get him looks closer to the rim.
for most players, shooting is about familiarity, and the muscle memory from knowing your spots. this level of motion for goes having "spots," but the more open looks they get the more comfortable they will be at those ranges. i'm very hopeful their percentages will increase because these are wide open looks.
This is a really good breakdown. The difference between the Lakers under Ham vs under Reddick is already night and day in terms of organization and discipline.
JJ brought back the cheat code AD was like in 2020. He was getting touches and at the right positions too. His confidence was evident. Talking smack and had the fire in him that I've never seen before.
AD has been a great player the team just wasn't feeding him in the right spots. Hence why I hate when austin or rui are playmaking. You can only trust Lebron and Russell with playmaking
I love these videos breaking down all the nuances and making things easier for everyone to understand while also getting more fans to appreciate the game. THE GOAT HOOPVENUE!
Very fluid. No one is just standing, You see multiple screens and ball movement a many quality shoots. JJ is a student of the game and very good communicator, so I think the team will be better. He knows when challenge, when calls timeout and this by itself is an improvement
People who don't watch Lakers that much will think this wasn't much to look at, but believe me this is a lot different than last year. There were so many games where you didn't even feel like you were watching an organized NBA team, it looked more like 5 guys playing pickup at the rec.
Dis is legit why LeBron co-signed the JJ. Like the movement is wild. He got the whole team moving like off ball shooters and the buy in from LBJ is huge. It was actually a fun to watch
JJ is just a 90s baby man. 90s basketball and all of the sets in 90s basketball is coming back at some point. in that era every coach had their own sets and systems like this. i love this a ton.
Stay sleep if yall want to - this ain’t the same Lakers. Yeah yeah yeah, I know we didn’t make any big additions or whatever, *BUT* this ain’t Darvin Ham coaching anymore. I honestly don’t understand how the man basically applied for his job by discussing X’s and O’s with Bron on a podcast and people were like….”Ehhhhhh, he’s going to SUCK!” Aiight, chat soon 🤫
@@bayareaplaya6004 lebron can still be the slasher when he has the ball. He’s very good at knowing when to cut as well when he’s off ball. Remember when he got that WIDE open dunk from cutting in the corner after bronny checked in. Ad is a surprisingly good playermaker in the post. Watch ad average a career high in assists this year, or atleast more than he has in recent years. I don’t think ad getting more touches is bad for LeBron or the lakers offense
@@terronricketts5867 good point. But during the ham era there were also stretches where ad simply did not get the ball especially during clutch time. I think that’ll change under JJ
Nice video. I noticed they seem taking more pleasure on the court and during trainings too than last year. I think JJ will be a great coach but he is also a good manager. I'll definitely keep an eye on the lakers this year without expecting too much from them.
I was about to comment on your click-baity title, but instead let me say this: this is the best analysis of game and schemes LAL ran against Minnesota!
This was an awesome breakdown. Glad I found it. Absoultely love the pick off the cross screen (4:03).. think this will be one of their favorite sets over the year. Really don't think it is at all defendable
They looked exactly how they looked the last few years -- when Bron doesn't have the ball in his hand 85% of a possession .. and AD is the focal point of the offense
@@Hobbsthetiger They had the same level of off-ball movement under Ham, Vogel, and Walton when Bron was either not playing or occasionally for stretches in the playoffs. Otherwise, Bron would wreck the ball movement by routinely shooting 30-foot 3s 3 seconds into the shot clock or backing his man done for 14 seconds for a bucket. Bron played team concept ball in game one thus far. The test is whether he continues to play that way should they have a 4-game losing streak or the media starts to wonder if "Father time is catching up because he's not only average 16, 5 and 4 etc.
@@frankiethefrog1752 I don't subscribe to the notion that "Plus/minus" tells you everything you need to know about a player's commitment to playing basketball within team concepts -- or in playing in a way the gives his team the best chance to win... as every team in the NBA has a player on their roster with the "Highest Plus/ minus .. doesn't mean they were all playing effective winning basketball.
What’s so disturbing is the fact that the Rookie (#4) that contributed to the win didn’t even get any PR. No end of game interview like they did with the other rookie (#9) who did nothing except miss open shots and chase a couple players around the floor. This is so terrible.
I think the interesting thing that you bring up that everyone kind of looked over is this: what if JJ wasn't hired for Lebron, but really for AD? What if his interviews were just about highlighting the succession plan that has so far failed to materialize every since he arrived in Los Angeles? Great observation and very curious to see how it will play out during the seaon.
if those shots start falling, this team may finally secure a playoff spot without having to go through the play-ins. title contention is still a long way away but it's clear that this team is heading to the right direction.
What I saw that I liked from JJ was that he felt the swift in the game and changed line ups damn its been awhile I seen bron be content sitting on the bench
If AD continues where he left off last season, coupled with this new and improved offense, the Lakers will have a solid season 🍿Thanks for the breakdown.

Something that I absolutely loved was then exploiting personnel changes. They move to a zone and Bron finds 3 layups. Randle came in at the 5 and they immediately find 2 dunks.
Before I seen a practice or a first game, I had this secure feeling that, “I trust JJ”. This game over validated my feelings in way more ways than one. I’m excited to watch Laker basketball again this year since 2020 championship.
thankyou JJ Reddick, finally a coach that doesn't rely on individual players to pull points from their own bag, it finally looks like the lakers have a plan and arent just getting Bron and AD to try and score
and imagine if those threes are falling in. The space in the paint area will definitely widen more . I mean JJ as a court general before with all the plays on his mind and Lakers executing it is really a fresh start.
This offense looks very good and got room for improvement considering how poor they were shooting 3's but i feel like the Wolves's defense's been quite underwhelming. Don't know how much the switch between KAT and Randle is to blame for it but having Gobert and taking 73 points in the paint is quite surprising for this team
I’m so happy as a lakers fan we don’t have bum ass ham anymore just tryna play the 2 man game all game and just saying to “be aggressive” in the game 😭😂
Honestly that Reaves at the elbow and Bron back cut for the dunk looked intentional. Saw an analyst point out that Reeves rarely picks up the dribble in that situation. He was peeking baseline the entire time and even turned for a handoff while Bron fakes towards it and then cuts back door. So sexy if this is true!
that hornes action is looking vaery lethal if you put a slightly better passer like D-lo and Rui is making those corner 3's this might be very lethal. crazy how the purpose of hornes just clicked all of a sudden
JJ is the new Steve Kerr. He created his own system with the combo of GSW (forcing the D to consistently move, creating confusion and openings) + DEN (handoffs, creating instant opening and dives) + CHI (triangle, anyone could score).
@6:54 did they misspell Candace Parker? Lol anyways I love this video bc it’s really reaching BBALL knowledge. I’m super excited to see how the Lakers keep this up

Coming off his healthiest season, I hope he holds. We won in 2020 as well with him as our leading scorer.
But if LeBron is the slasher that's not good for the defense
@@bayareaplaya6004 lebron can still be the slasher when he has the ball. He’s very good at knowing when to cut as well when he’s off ball. Remember when he got that WIDE open dunk from cutting in the corner after bronny checked in. Ad is a surprisingly good playermaker in the post. Watch ad average a career high in assists this year, or atleast more than he has in recent years. I don’t think ad getting more touches is bad for LeBron or the lakers offense
It’s weird how people haven’t noticed he’s tried to defer to AD over the past couple of years.
@@terronricketts5867 good point. But during the ham era there were also stretches where ad simply did not get the ball especially during clutch time. I think that’ll change under JJ
Nice video. I noticed they seem taking more pleasure on the court and during trainings too than last year. I think JJ will be a great coach but he is also a good manager. I'll definitely keep an eye on the lakers this year without expecting too much from them.
Love these break downs
This is really good stuff ! Great explanations 👍
I KNEW JJ WAS THE KEY TO THE LOCK ON THIS OFFENSE AND GREAT EXPLANATION AND GOOD VIDEO
Lakers new OFFENSE UNSTOPPABLE 💯
That dish by Reaves at 4:40 was so casually smooth
So smooth I thought I didn’t hear a whistle and the play was dead
I was about to comment on your click-baity title, but instead let me say this: this is the best analysis of game and schemes LAL ran against Minnesota!
great breakdown video of the offense!
This was an awesome breakdown. Glad I found it. Absoultely love the pick off the cross screen (4:03).. think this will be one of their favorite sets over the year. Really don't think it is at all defendable
Good offense and execution. just couldn’t bring results but the process is looking good.
Lebron can actually save his energy instead of having to score 30 to win
The lakers looked young & fast. The ball movement was great!
This is a good vid man, solid analysis
They looked exactly how they looked the last few years -- when Bron doesn't have the ball in his hand 85% of a possession .. and AD is the focal point of the offense
Way more off ball movement was my biggest take away
@@Hobbsthetiger They had the same level of off-ball movement under Ham, Vogel, and Walton when Bron was either not playing or occasionally for stretches in the playoffs. Otherwise, Bron would wreck the ball movement by routinely shooting 30-foot 3s 3 seconds into the shot clock or backing his man done for 14 seconds for a bucket. Bron played team concept ball in game one thus far. The test is whether he continues to play that way should they have a 4-game losing streak or the media starts to wonder if "Father time is catching up because he's not only average 16, 5 and 4 etc.
@@Goodguy1fulBron was THE problem yet he still had the highest plus/minus on the lakers last year?
@@frankiethefrog1752 I don't subscribe to the notion that "Plus/minus" tells you everything you need to know about a player's commitment to playing basketball within team concepts -- or in playing in a way the gives his team the best chance to win... as every team in the NBA has a player on their roster with the "Highest
Plus/ minus .. doesn't mean they were all playing effective winning basketball.
8:50 idk why that was funny
Ye
What’s so disturbing is the fact that the Rookie (#4) that contributed to the win didn’t even get any PR. No end of game interview like they did with the other rookie (#9) who did nothing except miss open shots and chase a couple players around the floor. This is so terrible.
You shoot 5/30 from three and still beat a team that was in the WCF last season, you doin something right.
Yes hopefully this system works in the long run, consistency is key for them.
72 points in the paint is nuts!
Jj is already a top 15 coach
Amazing analysis 👏🏾
I think the interesting thing that you bring up that everyone kind of looked over is this: what if JJ wasn't hired for Lebron, but really for AD? What if his interviews were just about highlighting the succession plan that has so far failed to materialize every since he arrived in Los Angeles? Great observation and very curious to see how it will play out during the seaon.
if those shots start falling, this team may finally secure a playoff spot without having to go through the play-ins. title contention is still a long way away but it's clear that this team is heading to the right direction.
It was one game carried by AD the glazing is insane
Good vid man!
Can't wait to see your Nuggets Thunder breakdown good sir
and I hope my thunder can get back to full strength ASAP as well
What I saw that I liked from JJ was that he felt the swift in the game and changed line ups damn its been awhile I seen bron be content sitting on the bench
If AD continues where he left off last season, coupled with this new and improved offense, the Lakers will have a solid season 🍿Thanks for the breakdown.
Great video and breakdown
As with the last few seasons, the Lakers will be as good as AD's fitness allows
DLO pass at 6:08 was 🔥🔥🔥

Dude sick analysis
I was watching the game thinking damn JJ done did it
Darvin ham really was putting LA in hell
Great video man
JJ said that apparently the ball was completely new so the players weren't used to the feel.
Nice job. Subscribed. 👍
Love the break down
Nice vid 🫡. Thank you
Something that I absolutely loved was then exploiting personnel changes. They move to a zone and Bron finds 3 layups. Randle came in at the 5 and they immediately find 2 dunks.
I feel sorry for rudy man, and Randle is a Question mark for me on D..
Before I seen a practice or a first game, I had this secure feeling that, “I trust JJ”. This game over validated my feelings in way more ways than one.
I’m excited to watch Laker basketball again this year since 2020 championship.
Where are all the JJ haters at? Loud before the season started… not too loud now. 🤣
To me, it looks like a version of the triangle. And it looks good. Thank you JJ.😊
Never been a JJ fan but it's hard to ignore how much better the offense looked.
thankyou JJ Reddick, finally a coach that doesn't rely on individual players to pull points from their own bag, it finally looks like the lakers have a plan and arent just getting Bron and AD to try and score
I love seeing that lineup reeves, dlo, knect. Too much firepower
Great breakdown
Lakers definitely look like a dangerous playoff team if they can stay healthy
its so crazy what an actually good coach can do. when players trust the coach and buy in, it makes a vast difference
and imagine if those threes are falling in. The space in the paint area will definitely widen more . I mean JJ as a court general before with all the plays on his mind and Lakers executing it is really a fresh start.
i think it also helps they have a more available roster where all these movements are happening often because not everyones getting gassed
Great Video!
This didn’t age very well.
-Lo is exactly who we thought he was😂
nice analysis
This offense looks very good and got room for improvement considering how poor they were shooting 3's but i feel like the Wolves's defense's been quite underwhelming. Don't know how much the switch between KAT and Randle is to blame for it but having Gobert and taking 73 points in the paint is quite surprising for this team
I’m so happy as a lakers fan we don’t have bum ass ham anymore just tryna play the 2 man game all game and just saying to “be aggressive” in the game 😭😂
Subbed up. I like your style bro
Honestly that Reaves at the elbow and Bron back cut for the dunk looked intentional. Saw an analyst point out that Reeves rarely picks up the dribble in that situation. He was peeking baseline the entire time and even turned for a handoff while Bron fakes towards it and then cuts back door. So sexy if this is true!
that hornes action is looking vaery lethal if you put a slightly better passer like D-lo and Rui is making those corner 3's this might be very lethal.
crazy how the purpose of hornes just clicked all of a sudden
JJ is the new Steve Kerr. He created his own system with the combo of GSW (forcing the D to consistently move, creating confusion and openings) + DEN (handoffs, creating instant opening and dives) + CHI (triangle, anyone could score).
@6:54 did they misspell Candace Parker? Lol anyways I love this video bc it’s really reaching BBALL knowledge. I’m super excited to see how the Lakers keep this up
