JJ Redick, without a solution to the Lakers' problems: "I don't know what else to do"

Los Angeles Lakers' coach, JJ Redick, is going through one of the most challenging moments since taking over the position. Amidst a period marked by offensive inconsistency, the coach publicly acknowledged an evident lack of communication and focus between him and his players, something that has been reflected in the team's recent performance.

The Lakers have lost four of their last six games, revealing several structural issues. Redick explained that the team's offense is far from the expected level: plays are not executed correctly, sometimes not even executed at all, and the overall organization of the attack is far from optimal.

According to Dave McMenamin (ESPN), Redick did not hide his frustration when analyzing the situation: "I don't know what else to do. It's something that is happening constantly," expressed the coach, even attributing it to the holiday season due to the evident lack of focus shown by some players.

Despite the problems, the Lakers achieved a much-needed victory of 128-121 against the Memphis Grizzlies, a result they will aim to capitalize on for the upcoming rematch on Sunday. In that game, the offense heavily relied on their two main stars: Luka Doncic, with 34 points and eight assists, and LeBron James, who contributed 31 points along with six assists.

Luka-LeBron Connection, one of the few bright spots

One of the highlights of the game was the spectacular connection between Doncic and James from midcourt during the first half. Redick emphasized both players' influence in setting the offensive pace of the team, while LeBron didn't hesitate to praise his teammate's vision on the court.

James even likened the play to an American football action, describing himself as a luxury receiver to the perfect "pass" by the point guard: "I'm one of the best QBs, and in that regard, I'm a good receiver," said LeBron. "My job is not to let the defense interfere or steal the ball. And he put it right on target, which made things a lot easier for me."
