JJ Redick On Missed Free Throws In TOUGH Lakers Loss To Magic

[@Trailblazingg]

2/8 from the line to end the game ridiculous

[@mason784]

AD was allergic to 40 tonight. so many chances.

[@johnjames5888]

Unacceptable

[@stevewise1656]

Agreed! That's worse than a bad high school team.

[@KameronVisuals]

We really gotta work on our free throws that’s ridiculous. I will also like to add that was good defense by Cam on Franz it was just a tougher bucket so credit to the Magic. But let’s turn it around our next game against the Nuggets.

[@upfulsoul826]

It wasn't good defense. Franz had him on a string and created an open look.

[@daninspiration4064]

JJ fault for playing DLO too much in the 4th

[@ValuableTrouble]

Yes the missed FTs were CRUCIAL but the game shouldn’t have been decided by FTs in the first place. Literally nobody besides AD, Bron & DK stepped up tonight. Gabe - 0pts, AR - 3/12, DLO - 3/10 air balling, Max - 25mins of lossless… How is a rookie constantly outplaying 2 vets like DLO & Gabe? Shi is unacceptable. Our bench gets out scored and KILLED literally every game. Bottom of the league in bench pts

[@mr_hitstick.4217]

Yea them mfs gotta goooooo

[@michaelcodelmar9547]

This game was supposedly a runaway with the Magic playing last night and without Banchero, KCP and Carter Jr...shouldn't have gone to the wire in the first place ..

[@FixiSlaptaccount]

bunch if lakers are missing idiot

[@apple700]

Defense lost the game. It was Horrible all night long. Bad spacing and failed assignments.

[@mtx1212]

And that last play, AD fade away??? wtf was that???

[@TheBiggerMan90s]

Hate it should’ve went for a layup hoping for a foul but Ad Mid Fade is butter💯

[@unixHR81]

Disasterous last play...😢 really-what the fuck was that?

[@shawnpatrick8181]

i mean they could have have fouled wagner( making him take FTs) and would still be 1 point game with the ball in their hands...? jj and lebron and AD this loss is on them man

[@ShowtimeLakersbaby808]

Don't forget AR.

[@InvestingwithCollumn]

What? How is it a one point game if franz makes both of em

[@InvestingwithCollumn]

Also blame JJ for running a 3 guard lineup late in the 4th we wouldn’t even have been within 3 if he turned to cam earlier

[@MsCamicam]

Lebron missed 1 free throw! Austin Reaves missed 2 and AD missed 2.

[@kevincantal4646]

JJ made a mistake by playing Dlo in the 4th, cam sits too long in the 4th while Wagner was cooking our guards.

[@AB333East]

D loc should trade

[@IsseyRyan-w8o]

Me rooting for AD to go get 40 ended up backfiring lol should've just given it to knecht to shoot those free throws

[@lashaxoperia5917]

AD had 10/13 FT which is not bad.

[@Kocheeze30]

Sat DLO right away when he wasn’t playing great. When are you going to sit Reevas? If he’s not getting buckets he needs to sit. He’s a defensive liability. We clearly needed size tonight, look at the boards… bias ass coach… also when are you going to tell Bron to stop holding the rock smh just holding the ball than passing it with 5 seconds on the clock and getting mad at guys for missing…

[@mtx1212]

AR played horribly the whole game, and of course AD's FT shooting as always...Koloko is utter trash, we need a backup 5 that can at least rebound

[@michaelcodelmar9547]

You can't really fault AD for missing those FT's...He was tired...The man scored 39 pts! The other guys need to step up..D Lo shooting airballs, Reaves looks like a wounded dog. Can't guard anybody and Vincent running around like a lost puppy! And oh Christie too for doing nothing

[@EmanMundo]

And Reaves hogging the ball and freezing Dalton Knetch 🥴🤦

[@ThisIsMajor1659]

Nope

[@EmanMundo]

@@ThisIsMajor1659 yes

[@hwsnac5198]

So if AD was tired, LET SOMEONE ELSE GET THE IN THROWN BALL!!! Too much HERO Ball...get ALL your best FTers who's NOT TIRED!!

[@IndyRaii]

Last play call was horrible

[@benitojrmanzon1648]

It's your guard particularly AR DLo and DK who's been a target of mismatches and unable to contest the shots. Another thing is the lack of good passing particularly AR who's forcing his way and anticipate fouls will be called by a refs, instead of assist to unopposed DK.

[@skappiemalatsi6526]

Someone needs to tell JJ not to live and die with every game 😭😭😭

[@dracowuhan7536]

JJ fucked this game too but I guess it’s a learning experience. Move on

[@KevinTan-j3o]

those missed free throws!

[@thumpthumptv1651]

AR played bad this game and DLo at least was playmaking. Gabe doing nothing hurts and I liked the Christie/Reddish tandem out there and it just disappeared. Losing that 10 point lead because they didn't execute hurt a lot.

[@hardingyelyen8455]

Is your fault for leaving AR and Dlo at the same time in the game, Lakers really need bruised wings they are too small n so many guards

[@mr_hitstick.4217]

They don't have any lol

[@plutohndrx]

AD perfect from the stripe until it was time to ice the fckn game 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@mtx1212]

Make all of them stay after the game and shoot 1000 fts each

[@FixiSlaptaccount]

AD hit 9/9 before the end

[@SirButtah]

Just can't escape a season without a couple head scratchers. Sucks, but not discouraging. Go back to the classic court. Looked like a road game out there.

[@bimz2710]

its time for Dlo trade!

[@ackman7033]

I know he has been bad, but jj need to always put dlo in crunch just for free throws. He shoot 92% this season. Lebron ad ar just cant do it.

[@CB-ns6sy]

stfu d lo was airballing soooo many shots tn dude cant shoot right now

[@InvestingwithCollumn]

@@CB-ns6syhe’s saying just put him in for free throws then take him right out

[@CB-ns6sy]

@@InvestingwithCollumn he would have missed

[@InvestingwithCollumn]

@@CB-ns6sy also jjs the problem. Because he was running a 3 guard lineup late into the fourth. He should’ve turned to reddish wayyy earlier.

[@upfulsoul826]

@@CB-ns6sy He was the best shooter on the team in the regular season last season. When he gets benched he loses his confidence even more.

[@anthonyyeung7806]

Reaves was disappointing today.........

[@LN-Lifer]

Missed FTs are only a story here because of the same damn thing that has been losing us games for 3 seasons now We cannot rebound the fucking ball

[@InvestingwithCollumn]

lol it wasn’t even rebounding that killed us in the 4th. It was JJs 3 guard lineup of knecht dlo and reaves. He let franz score like 6 or 7 on knecht before he finally subbed dlo and turned to Christie. Christie was still to small so he didn’t turn to cam until the game was already within 2 with less than a minute left. Horrid coaching

[@cayvenyi5370]

Uhhhh lebron had crazy clutch rebounds down the stretch, AR and AD missing both of their free throws is insane

[@bamboosho0t]

In AD'S credit, lately, he's hit big FT to seal games late. But tonight, he reverted back to old tendencies from a year or 2 ago. Not the end of the world, but you can't toss away a game like this to the Orlando Magic.

[@InvestingwithCollumn]

@@bamboosho0t blame jjs late 4th quarter non defensive three guard lineups. He didn’t turn to cam until game was already within reach under a minute left.

[@InvestingwithCollumn]

@@cayvenyi5370 blame jjs late 4th quarter non defensive three guard lineups. He didn’t turn to cam until game was already within reach under a minute left.

[@InvestingwithCollumn]

Why does he keep blaming the missed free throws but doesn’t blame himself for waiting until the game was already within reach to abandon the 3 guard lineup and turn to cam reddish who’s our best wing defender rn?

[@MiseryBagZ]

You would think he would award Cam who had 8 boards when we were in desperate needs of rebounds

[@InvestingwithCollumn]

@ rIGHT this was arguably cams best game this season. Boards, defense, AND 3’s. Jj really screwed us. If he had turned to cam earlier our lead would have been bigger by upwards of 2 points most likely

[@rozburg]

It wasn't just freethrows, LAZY on rebounding too

[@shanehughes4902]

PELINKA do your JOB! AD and Bron are obviously exhausted! Make the moves necessary! Trade Cardio Gabe and Airball DLO and go get Lavine! We need a third scoring option! Then take your picks and get another big body! Make it happen or get out of the way Rob “Plan B” Pelinka

[@Dats_dope]

Austin missing those ft and lebron or else would be a different game

[@MsCamicam]

Lebron he missed 1 free throw. AD missed 2 and Reaves missed 2. But you mention Lebron! Unbelievable!

[@robvillaluna7967]

It all comes down to AD FT at the end. 1/4 to finish the game is just unacceptable. If Lebron did that 1/4 to end the game he will be killed in social media till the end of his career.

JJ needs to grow up you are a coach now have are your players going to deal with losses if you can't. Your not going 82 and 0.

[@vegeta4president]

I've been noticing and saying this for a while now and now ima start commenting this shit until it gets noticed. AUSTIN REAVES.... I stg I've never seen a player get away with what he has got away with for this long. He is a ABSOLUTE LIABILITY on defense period! Every team pin points him & makes it a point to attack him. On offense it seems like his FGs always look like 2-10, 3-14, 5-18, something like that but its forgiven because sometimes he'll have 20 points(prolly going) 9-20. It's OBVIOUS... it's been OBVIOUS and his trade value isn't gonna get to much better. Figure out a package for Reaves, maybe D-Lo, Reddish, some picks and make it work.

We need to improve our external defensive rotation. I hope Ben Simmons or Marcus Smart can replace D’Angelo Russell, Gabe Vincent, Max Christie, and Jalen Hood-Schifino Ben has the height and defensive ability, though he’s limited by his shooting struggles, so Quincy can return to a 9-player rotation: 1. Austin Reaves 2. Dalton Knecht 3. LeBron James 4. Anthony Davis 5. Jonas Valančiūnas (I hope we can trade Vanderbilt for Jonas. I know this sounds far-fetched, but in the long run, Jonas’s health is more stable than Vanderbilt’s.) 6. Ben Simmons 7. Cam Reddish / Quincy 8. Rui Hachimura 9. Jaxson Hayes / Wood
