JJ Redick's first game as an NBA head coach is in the books. The player-turned-coach had his imprints all over the Lakers' 110-103 victory over the Timberwolves. Here are five takeaways.
Very quotable
Perhaps it's due to his few years as a media analyst, but Redick has the knack of delivering at least a few quotable quotes on a nightly basis that will generate headlines. After Tuesday's win, Redick was "dead serious" when he wondered why teams play with brand-new basketballs in games but don't do the same in scrimmages and practices.
"Anybody who's ever touched the NBA ball brand-new, it's a different feel and touch than a worn-in basketball," Redick said.
He apparently didn't realize the brand-new ball until a timeout.
"There was a long rebound, I grabbed it. I was like, 'What? Why are we playing with this ball?' Give the guys the opportunity to pick a good basketball. You think I'm joking? I'm neurotic."
An admitted "sicko," Redick has now also admitted to being "neurotic." Regardless of how the Lakers season pans out, all 82 press conferences are sure to produce a lot of entertainment.
