Yeah but despite that miss they won against a west contender, on the positive side imagine if all those 3's went in and that would probably be a 60 point blowout
As a Lakers fan, there was definitely some signs of life here. Mostly -- adjustments were quick and decisive. What we struggled with a lot last year was keeping leads and responding to runs from other teams -- so it was good to see the nice adjustments from JJ when the Wolves started to creep back in.

Great Team win. AD looks great. Offense and defense look improved. Only one game so I am keeping my expectations tempered for now. Great win, let’s improve on it. One game at a time, keep working.

Man I can see the lakers actually defeating the Nuggets once more since 2020, seeing they pretty much have the same screen and cutting game now, minus Jokic's post game
Don,t worry about the Nuggets...if they have played the Lakers tonight vs the Wolves, Lakers would beat them by 30.That's how bad Nuggets team look right now...and the season just barely started.
1) Good hoops analysis. 2) Wow excellent start for JJ. Let's hope the players stays tuned in, by whom I mean LeBron. 3) What a long way JJ has come from the most hated player in college hoops. 4) Reminder that a healthy AD should be considered a top 5 MVP candidate each year.
Trading KAT to NYK slightly decreases the Timberwolves team chemistry. You lose interior offense and defensive presence, KAT spaces the floor Gobert does not. Trading KAT puts the team in a tough spot in a tight game with 2 mins left. That’s just my take I would love to hear what someone else thinks or disagrees. Great win for the Lakers !!
Agreed. I don’t think JJ Reddick did anything extra here. The issue is the wolves. They have lost 20 pts of offense with decreased spacing. They should move Coney and Rudy to the bench and put Dvo and Naz into the starting line up. Or at the least put dvo in for Conley. Lakers and Wolves shot terrible overall. This game is nothing to be excited about if I’m the Lakers.
I think KAT is better fit next to gobert but I think Randle gives Min a better small ball line-up; he is more gritty than KAT. He will grab more boards and they can play through him in post as a more reliable second scorer. I think if Randle gets comfortable with spots then he can he a decent catch and shoot player. I think Min’s real problem is that Mike Conley and Donte Divincenzo are their main playmakers… they need more solid passers or they need to really buy into a 0.5 offense. I dont think they can win without a real passer. Lets give it a month or two to see.
@@viintage_b i would have traded KAT for a guard and another shooter/wing maybe Dejounte Murray would have been a good fit but Im not super familiar with Murray’s passing game. Either way I dont think this team works unless Gobert or Randle becomes Marc Gasol or they trade for a playmaker. Donte didnt look good last night and Conley is old asf. But Maybe finch can get them to buy in to a motion offense.
Idk if its because I barely watched the Lakers last year, but it really seems that the offense is actually flowing. The spacing was great. Timbs played with no urgency though. I wasn't sure what was going on there, but they seemed a step slow for most of the game.
Lakers shot horrible so I’m not sure how the offense was flowing. 44% overall and 16% from 3. Only thing is the wolves were worse overall. That team lost 20 pts of offense and spacing. With one of their cornerstone players being traded. The wolves have a lot of work to do.
@@ephalanx1 You didnt watch the game did you? Or you don't understand what "flow" is. Offensive flow isn't about whether you make shots its the ability to generate open shots and if you watched the game you'd see lots of open shots from the Lakers. They just couldn't capitalize. Lakers had lots and lots of movement which created confusion for the Wolves on defense...Lakers offense had lots of flow and less standing around like last season.
@@ephalanx1Bro, they shot horribly, and still won by 7. If you watched the game, the wolves were confused all night because of the lakers movement and activity. That’s what we’ve been looking for, regardless of the shot making or lack there of
@@ephalanx1 from what I saw, ball movement was great. Shots not falling is very different than creating opportunities. Lakers did a pretty good job with that for the parts I watched (fell asleep before the 4th quarter, so things could have looked worse in the 4th). I'm not a laker fan, but im not stressing over 44% FG. That's pretty good. 22 assists while forcing 7 turnovers with steals and 8 blocks is a huge defensive effort. They shot 10 more shots than the timbs and they were grabbing the O boards for easy put backs and top ins. I'm not stressing about the Lakers in one game. Obviously a lot of work to do, it's the first game of the season. Teams aren't going to shoot Celtics lights out and it'll be 60% from 3pt land. This offense looks significantly better than last year.
I think Julius may have been the heart and soul of the Knicks. Regardless of any flaws he has as a player he could get the team going and played with an intensity that rubbed off on the team when he was healthy and active. At least in Game 1, the Knicks seemed to lack that fire and didn't seem to have a player that would punch it out of them.
Blessings from Taiwan 🇹🇼 🥳 Wow...it is NOT easy for AD, a player, to say we score 14 as players and the blame is on US 👍👍👍 WOW....This year's Lakers is DIFFERENT....hope they will continue to be GOOD to surprise us with the NEW coach. 😉 Jesus loves everyone 😇🥰
Those called use the screens! Our couch used to yell at us and stop us everytime if ppl not using the screens, it keeps your teammates motivated and engaged when they don’t have the ball
Lakers had a few plays here and there but it was mainly transition buckets or AD iso’s that was the reason they won. The only thing I can truly credit coaching for is the defensive intensity the Lakers played with and they were a good defensive team under Ham so I don’t see this spectacular coaching that was on display tbh. JJ’s true test will be their record towards the middle/end of the season where coaching really matters
Finally someone who’s saying what I felt watching it, also against Wolves team with a new roster that hasn’t gelled yet…like any season with AD can he stay healthy? Because last year was a historical outlier for him being healthy for that many games not to mention Lebron being on the wrong side of 40…like you said middle and end of the season will be telling.
I called it. JJ Redick being their coach will be a massive W for the season. Obviously, its only been one game. But mark my words, 50 wins minimum. My bet is 56 games on the dot.
Knecht really is a name that can't be pronounced in english. I was curious how heat check would pronounce it since he is from Europe, but also says Connect :)

@@turaabi we don’t have to. the scheme is there. he schemed wide open shots all damn night. it’s on the players now, if we see them missing wide open shots all night that’s on them not JJ.

@@CheckBallUp alright well let's check 20 games in and see then. the Lakers have the 5th hardest schedule this year, so let's see how that scheme holds up. and how their health holds up. and how they adjust to counter-coaching. so yeah. you definitely need to relax a bit.

Those called use the screens! Our couch used to yell at us and stop us everytime if ppl not using the screens, it keeps your teammates motivated and engaged when they don’t have the ball
Dominant performance against one of the Best Team Defenses in the League
As a Dutch person, it's so funny how you people pronounce the name Knecht 😂😂
Hayes and D'Lo what a great connection
Lakers had a few plays here and there but it was mainly transition buckets or AD iso’s that was the reason they won. The only thing I can truly credit coaching for is the defensive intensity the Lakers played with and they were a good defensive team under Ham so I don’t see this spectacular coaching that was on display tbh. JJ’s true test will be their record towards the middle/end of the season where coaching really matters
Finally someone who’s saying what I felt watching it, also against Wolves team with a new roster that hasn’t gelled yet…like any season with AD can he stay healthy? Because last year was a historical outlier for him being healthy for that many games not to mention Lebron being on the wrong side of 40…like you said middle and end of the season will be telling.
Rui got that dawgggg in him 🗣
i've missed this type of video
Bronny Rookie of the Year this season! 💪🏽
I called it. JJ Redick being their coach will be a massive W for the season. Obviously, its only been one game. But mark my words, 50 wins minimum. My bet is 56 games on the dot.
Hey JJ great first game. I think there’s gotta be somebody in LA. They can give you that Pat Riley suit look going in LA.❤😊
Look at that Old man bully move at the 1:00 mark. Hilarious 😂
We’re so back
Knecht really is a name that can't be pronounced in english. I was curious how heat check would pronounce it since he is from Europe, but also says Connect :)
Yes, Traveeeeeeel !
Hayes is gonna feast under Reddick
Tatum's jumper looks smooth
I didn’t know how much Jj would work out but if they keep doing this. They will be good (ps knecht was a steal
Damn 3:08 if Bronny had gotten hype about that dunk that photo would've been legendary, cameraman on the baseline had the perfect angle too
The opening night was lit. Go Knicks. Conference finals this year, you heard it here first 🙂
Darvin Ham: Single screen
JJ Reddick: Multiple screens
I don’t know if you guys have this but you should have a system on rate game that calculates the teams with the highest ratings. Then, fans can watch other teams live if their team’s not playing
LeTravel back at it
hachimura and Jaxson Hayes looking confident. Idk why some coaches have such an issue empowering their young players
We all must apologise to J.J Reddick and give him respect as a head coach.
it's 1 game. let's relax a bit.
@@turaabi we don’t have to. the scheme is there. he schemed wide open shots all damn night. it’s on the players now, if we see them missing wide open shots all night that’s on them not JJ. He does his part which is to create the scheme to his players strengths. They have to execute that’s why the players are always more critiqued by us fans and media. It’s why we gamble on players, not coaches. they have to perform
He has to win the in-season tournament and make it to the western conference finals
@@CheckBallUp alright well let's check 20 games in and see then. the Lakers have the 5th hardest schedule this year, so let's see how that scheme holds up. and how their health holds up. and how they adjust to counter-coaching.
so yeah. you definitely need to relax a bit.
@@turaabi again everything you said is primarily on the players. health?
