JJ Redick on D'Angelo Russell limited minutes: His level of compete, attention to detail weren't there
"Just level of compete, attention to detail, some of the things we've talked with him about for a couple of weeks," Redick said when asked why he limited Russell's role in Memphis. "And at times, he's been really good with that stuff. And other times, it's just reverting back to certain habits. But it wasn't like a punishment. It just felt for us to have a chance to win this game, that was the route we wanted to take."

I talked to SVG before the season about the challenges that JJ Redick would face as a first-time head coach. His analysis has aged like fine wine.

More on this storyline
Asked later how he addressed it with the team, Redick said it was the first thing he did postgame. “At the end of the day, especially when you lose bodies, you got to compete. You got to compete even harder,” James said. “You got to be out there giving it everything that you got and on both ends. I think there were times that we did that, but the majority of the time, I don’t think we sustained energy and effort.” -via Los Angeles Times / November 7, 2024
JJ Redick: “I think LeBron was fantastic tonight,” coach JJ Redick said postgame. “Biggest thing that stood out. I had no idea he’d hit 39 [points] until [after]. I’m not looking at the box scores during the game. But he played hard. Almost 40 years old and played the hardest on our team. “It says a lot about him.” And it says a lot about the rest of the Lakers, save for a few like Cam Reddish, who had his second strong game in a row. “None of us are [satisfied with the effort],” Redick said. -via Los Angeles Times / November 7, 2024
Mike Trudell: Redick said that AD was generally very positive about how his heel felt on the court when he tried to warm up here in Memphis, but they thought it best that Davis get it right ahead of the next game (Friday at home). -via Twitter @LakersReporter / November 6, 2024
