Could've won this game but Max Christie was doing way too much in that 4th quarter
Should've just ran JHS x Castleton pick and rolls.
Castleton didn't even attempt a shot.
Redick said he was happy overall with how LAL played. "Our screening was good, sharing the basketball was good. We got it to our best players in good spots for them. I was happy with how we executed. Overall, our activity level defensively was good."
He cited late turnovers with the bench group as something that needs to improve.
LeBron James on making history sharing the floor with Bronny:
"It's pretty cool for both of us and especially for our family. It's pretty cool.
It was like the matrix or something. It didn't feel real. "
Redick on LeBron + Bronny: "I'm thrilled that I get to be a part of this. It's cool as a basketball fan. I think it speaks to LeBron's longevity, but also his competitive stamina that he's able to still be doing this in Year 22."
He added that it also speaks to the work Bronny has put in to get to this point, and the parental love and care that LeBron and Savannah have given.
Anthony Davis on how he felt in his preseason debut:
"I felt great. I felt like I never missed a beat."
JHS is basically automatic in the midrange
Looks way more confident compared to last year
Max Christie was complete ass in the second half lmao

He was trying to do too much and just forcing it.
He's not ready to have the ball in his hands for long periods of time.
It'll be better if the second unit just runs through Gabe and JHS (in garbage minutes).

Yeah im expecting one of D’Lo or Reaves to be in at all times too that way Max can run actions off the ball
He not ready to be a primary playmaker
Lakers unveiled their new “California Destiny” City Edition jerseys today. They will debut them on Nov. 21 vs. Orlando.
Rotation wise, JJ Redick noted that he really liked the switching group late in the 1st Q vs. Phoenix with Davis at the 4, while still having size at the 5 (Jaxson Hayes).
JJ Redick clarifies that he was being sarcastic when he said he wants the Lakers taking 50 3s per game. He said the goal is to take five to six more per game compared to last season.
JJ Redick said one of the primary reasons he likes lineups with AD at the four — as the Lakers used in the first quarter of their preseason Suns matchup — is the ability to switch him onto perimeter players.
J Redick said that the Lakers were last in the league in their internal “limbo rate” metric, which the group used last season as well.
