JJ Redick hasn't been an NBA head coach for very long but made it clear from the outset that he would not hold back in his press conferences. Redick is blunt when it comes to publicly evaluating his team and doesn't appear hestitant to use his media sessions as a delivery system to send messages to his team. This apparently applies to preseason basketball as well.
The Lakers played the Suns on Tuesday night as the season draws near. Luka Dončić made his debut and played well, which means the night was largely a success from the fan perspective. However, Los Angeles did lose, and Redick was displeased enough with the product on the court that he called out his team afterwards for a "frustrating" performance.
