Summary
On Tuesday, JJ Redick got three third place votes for NBA Coach of the Year, which is actually a couple fewer than he received in his first season as Lakers head coach. So two years as a coach in the league, two years finishing on the COY table. Pretty good! So two big questions: Did JJ (and by proxy the Lakers) get the credit he deserved? And how did Redick improve from Year 1 to Year 2? Lakers fans don't agree about much, but there does seem to be some level of consensus that Redick was an improved coach this year. More willing to try new schemes and move outside his comfort zone. More creative in what the Lakers did, and displaying a far better temperament throughout the year (i.e. not so high strung). When you look around the league, having a coach that seems like he can be around for a while, with a defined culture and structure. Otherwise that sort of thing can't be built. If the Lakers are going to emulate the Dodgers over the long term, this is the sort of stability they should be striving for. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: JJ gets some love.
