00:00The first game without LeBron for the Lakers didn't go well.
00:03111-108, they lose in Brooklyn to the Nets.
00:07Here's J.J. Reddick.
00:09He was pretty honest with his assessment of this team's play.
00:12Yeah, I mean, I don't think being shorthand is an excuse
00:17for how we played basketball tonight.
00:21J.J., you guys shot two free throws in the first half.
00:24A lot of griping from your players.
00:26Do you think that took them out of any sort of rhythm?
00:30No, I think it was just an overall mentality
00:32just to take shortcuts tonight.
00:33We just wanted to take shortcuts.
00:36Too many, you know, they scored 20 points on us gambling.
00:39They had 16 offensive rebounds.
00:40We ball watched all night.
00:42We said no dare shots.
00:44I can't, I mean, I would go through it.
00:46They probably made six, seven uncontested threes.
00:49Just shortcuts.
00:51Don't be a good team. You want to win in the NBA,
00:53you got to do the hard stuff.
00:54We couldn't even pass to each other.
00:57We couldn't enter our offense running ball screens
01:01at literally at half court.
01:03Yeah, that's going to end up in a turnover.
01:04I don't know what we're doing.
01:07So what's great about him is that he was like
01:09one of the biggest D's ever playing,
01:12and now he's becoming one of the biggest D's as a coach
01:15because he loves to talk
01:18and just throw everyone under the bus
01:20when they don't play well.
01:21And he just comes right out and says it,
01:23just like when he played.
01:24When he played, he talked smack.
01:27Everyone wanted to kill him, but he was a great player.
01:30I mean, in college, like in college, he was such a D.
01:33Everyone wanted to kill him.
01:35In the pros, he's too easy to kill.
01:38In the pros, he's too small, but he could shoot.
01:41That was his job to shoot and then to talk smack.
01:44And then now he gets to talk smack every night
01:46because he gets his own press conference after every game
01:48and he just lets it all flow right out of his mouth.
01:51He'll call you right out and say, you suck.
