Jamal Crawford Game 4 Preview, Celtics Dominance, Working at TNT & Reacting to CLIPPED | JJ Redick

We are thrilled to be joined by JJ's former teammate and TNT broadcaster, Jamal Crawford to breakdown the 2024 NBA Finals between Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday and the Boston Celtics and Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks. But first, JJ and Jamal talk about their media careers as analysts and calling NBA games and they react to the new FX show CLIPPED. They also talk about why players like Jrue Holiday and Lu Dort are such awesome defenders and the next face of the NBA.

[@Vagotzia]

there should be a special episode with JJ's friends and old teammates (Legler, Jammal, CP3, etc.) in a round-table setting but physically in the same place

[@Greg-io1ip]

Legler is much more qualified by a multiple of 10 than JJ Reddick to coach any NBA team, let alone The Lakers. Bron needs to jet and understand Phil Jackson been tanking Bron behind the scenes the whole time.

GOOD LUCK JJ WITH THE LAKERS INTERVIEW 🫡

[@Izrael2481]

On a real note this dude loves Boston so much he should be their assistant and the lakers should be Sam cassell

[@Greg-io1ip]

I realize JJ probably wouldn't be able to resist a job opportunity coaching The Lakers. But he is in a no win scenario if he takes the job unless Bron is moving on. JJ needs a rebuild club with NO EXPECTATIONS to avoid being blamed. I doubt Pop has an opening in San Antonio assist coaching, but that would be the type gig JJ Reddick would thrive learning the ropes as an assistant on a rebuild to then not look clueless as a head coach.

Compliments to Jamal I only saw him cover a couple playoff games but what I did see him do he was the best new broadcaster I’ve seen, especially the former ball players I would love to hear him cover more games

[@ah8064]

When Jamal talks, we listen. ✨

[@Greg-io1ip]

Talk about potential coaches. Jamal Crawford is a guy I'd be looking into.

Great interview. Also love the breakdown of the clipped show lol

[@christophersimmons7784]

The joy that the game brings to Crawford blended in with his intellect of the game make him soo great to listen to in the media, we are in a golden age of basketball at every level of it I think and it’s soo awesome!!!

[@Greg-io1ip]

Jamal is Head Coach material to my ears. JJ could be himself, but he want to leapfrog assistants working their way up = Failure Formula.

[@josipmarasovic2436]

My man at end respect hahahahaha

[@dominicbruni8708]

"There are opportunities in your life that come up that you can't say no to" I sense a little foreshadowing from JJ here, aside from the two examples that he gave

[@Greg-io1ip]

Lakers been making mistakes under Jeanie Buss since Phil Jackson shadow GM ... Phil Jackson was the most overrated coach of all time we can easily see now. Ruined The Bulls then The Lakers. Probably more. Something off about his influence. Pat Riley and Jerry West LEFT THE LAKERS. Magic Johnson was being pushed out in the Luke Walton fiasco. This is Kurt Rambis and Phil Jackson screwing up The Lakers. JJ wants his payday I get it, but he's starting to come across as a needy teenager who gets groomed to give the pastor a BJ to get the college scholarship.

[@larrycohen5553]

Jrue is the Dennis Johnson of his time.

Another great conversation. Jamal and JJ's differences are so complementary. Great guest to listen to. Seems like a kind of person it would be fun to know.

[@paulm394]

That sign off by Jamal was legendary. Right after saying how important passing the baton/teaching youth he’s like “yea I still kept my best moves a secret tho”😂

[@DOLLA-BILLS]

These two absolutely should collaborate on a show or podcast. Their chemistry is truly undeniable.

[@Rimab23]

I’m always so excited when I see Jamal on the broadcast!

[@jaybarz003]

JJ is e busiest man in the Nba.He has his own pod - Old man and the three.He also works a commentator/reporter in e Nba.Last but not least,he's working at First Take.He's been there for e past 2 years.

[@ksanauhrich1098]

I’m so glad Jamal asked JJ about Clipped. 😁😁

[@jaybarz003]

JC is my 2nd best ball handler of all time.He was dat guy.He was a dangerous passer,shotmaker,playmaker,bench player & ball handler.I like e way he was quick & IQ he had on on e game.

[@jrev8089]

If J Crawford started a pod with Scottie Pippen, their pod would have the most unique voices. Like voice actors talking ball

Two of my favorite basketball minds and hoop junkies. They never let you forget that all the players, coaches and refs are human beings. They celebrate the game. The Lakers best get both of these dudes. The footwork drills and being committed to being in your spot could have a real impact on the Lakers squad.

[@FHooper35]

The ppl love these two guys 💯

[@jaybarz003]

He signed a 4 yr deal as HC of Los Angeles Lakers.Coaching isn't an easy job!Idk what he signed up for.Planning/prep needs to b done.Film sessions b4 or aft games.Shooting drills,training camp,practices and checking if players are injured,so they go for treatment.Drawing board prep.It's alot but i blv in JJ bc he's a smart,intelligent & str8 to e point type of man.

[@Mike-vt5kk]

JJ the kinda guy to remind the teacher the homework is due cause he stayed up till 3 am crushing the assignment

[@elvide0]

Cant help but wonder when jj says “some things you get offered and you just cant say no”, if he is indirectly talking about that lakers offer. Would be crazy if it really does happen

[@Greg-io1ip]

I hope JJ takes the job and Bron seeks a trade. AD too. Imagine AD or Bron in San Antonio. Or either in Oklahoma or Pelicans. Phil Jackson behind the scenes then Kurt Rambis messed up the Lakers to tank Bron's legacy. Bron is partly responsible for not understanding that Phil Jackson WANTED Bron to fail.

[@mollyweir9350]

I am 💯 sure based on what I am seeing & hearing from Mazulla in post -game interview that he is beholden to analytics. Celtics offense is mostly drive & kick out to 3 pt line or attacking the rim. There is no in between. They do not have great mid range players on the team. Dallas's problem beyond their offense due to their role players not looking confident are ball containment & failure to do the " dirty work" ( rebounds, box out, block shots, diving for lose ball etc.) consistently

[@Jbdreambrother]

[@Mizzou16109]

We’re conditioned based on previous champions to glorify “things”. Celtics defined key indicators that have changed the paradigm that beyond our pre-conditioned perspective. Thus the anomaly that it doesn’t make sense why they’re succeeding beyond “winning a different way”.

[@PengxueYG]

its a shame really, this celtics roster is pretty stacked and deep, and I would've wanted too see how they would do against other teams but due to injuries and losses they got who they got.

[@Greg-io1ip]

Yep. But many people are saying MJP been betting on points. He's going to be dealt 100% and Malone has some big decisions to make. You have to have defenders. Guys who play harder on that end than scoring end. You can spread the floor with shooters but you can't stop scoring with guys gambling online playing points bets.

THIS Celtics team is not all time if they win. Statisically maybe but in terms of who they beat to get there no. Context matters. All the other 5 chip runs they had to go through at least 2 stars who are HOFers to get to the Final.

[@adewaletoriola7373]

shii BMW ad?👀

[@xMaGuSx888]

JJ looks like 10 years younger in this clip lol (Not that he looks old by any means)

[@Greg-io1ip]

Considering new owner of the Mavericks is a true monster, it will be sweet if Celtics can go for the jugular on Mavs home court. And get more attention on Mavs' corruption in front office. RICO could take the team and put it up for auction. Would rather see Mavs owned by a player group. Maybe even present players. Like an NBA Players Union team to be a check and balance on corrupt owners, also vulnerable to RICO acquisition.

[@yatusabe2537]

FLBJ and FJB‼️

[@taylor7264]

Ppl scared to make predictions smh. I love em bc it’s a test of how much you know ball basically. N receipts don’t scare me bc #1 no1s always right n #2 a good prediction is determined by solid logic not the correct result - did you understand the dynamics at play, did you have a good read on the personnel involved, did you understand the schematic options available to the coaching staff based on that personnel etc…

[@taylor7264]

That being said I don’t respect 99% of the Dallas picks bc #1 like jj said many were based on previous iterations of the Celtics despite adding two big pieces n js getting better - which should’ve been a given. The rest simplified the series to Luka v tatum - or some combination of these two points Lazy takes. Basically it was Celtics hate n Luka love. No real basketball analysis

[@richardrojas6306]

No offence, but I'd rather keep you as a announcer and Pod cast guru than taking a Laker Coaching position. Coaches area dead end coming. Everything will be your fault Today's NBA players are bigger than management and the CBA will support each player more than any Coaches words. Stay on your course JJ. Your very good at what you do.

[@IGI_Media]

No one is talking about the fact that injures have had very little impact on this series. Ex: As opposed to Warriors losing 2 of their stars etc Almost every series has some devastating injury that is the X factor. KP's injury hasn't crippled the Celts (pun intended) I haven't heard what, if any, injury Luka has, but it's his imaginary friends on the bench ghosting him that has cost the Mavs. so the injury isn't the cause there./

[@reneewilliams5777]

Lol Luka has been injured since the beginning of the playoffs! What are you talking about? He was physically unable to make his step back 3 until the Minnesota series due to a knee injury. That's besides the chest contusion that he's getting pain injections for before the last two games. I think if he was healthy he'd be putting up better numbers, and doing much better on defense . I agree that the role players haven't shown up for him but he could be putting up better numbers and actually staying in front of some players on the other end.

[@mihirchitnis905]

JJ needs to milk the Lakers dry for every 💰 they have. Lakers do not have any other good option which can satisfy LeBron.

[@whitewall5977]

Why he got 50 teeth in the thumbnail?

[@semi6544]

This Boston celtics team isn't an All-Time team because they played in a year with historic bad injury luck especially in the East and especially in the playoffs. Remember the Kings were the #3 seed in the West last year. People didn't believe in them because the Kings had the best injury luck in the West. Their record was related to the circumstances of the season. Boston was the best team in the East and they would have been the best if everyone was healthy but there would be no historic point differentials and playoff record. Boston is great but not historically great.

[@justin_sample]

This Celtics team is dominate yes BUT let’s not act like they’re playing any super tough teams. The mavs were in a good swing but the nuggets were a much better team. The East… let’s not even go there

[@jamesball5743]

How did Crawford not realize Boston wouldn’t double? That has been the Celtics intention with their roster since Danny Ainge drafted the Js.

[@OH_MY_DOGGG]

My take on that is the Celtics are prepared to win in any way necessary.

[@JmssBraendle]

I truly believe that if the thunder traded for porzingis instead of the celtics they would’ve won this year, or definitely made the finals
