    all of the above, but especially this. they're both weak defenders, and we let them off the hook with turnovers and failure to hunt them. they've been comfortable putting sengun on lebron in isolation, so we need to find the matchup that's uncomfortable for them (reaves, obviously, but maybe even kennard, tbh).

    to be fair, i think jj tried rui in the post against sheppard (which makes sense) and it didn't work well (which is why rui's heading for a sizable paycut).

    So JJ avoids being fired by avoiding a history choke job being up 3-0

    That was never going to happen.

    But back to reality: JJ did a great job having them ready to close this out tonight.

    What a weird way to phrase it. How about instead: JJ out coaches and closes out in form young team without his two best players.

    I’m still a JJ skeptic, but I’ll give him credit for having a great gameplan in game 6.

    That was a good series from him. Overall I think JJ has been more good than bad and though I can still quibble about the hiring process, the gamble we took seems to be paying off.

    He has more room to grow (as expected) but he has proven he can coach.

    I never thought his job was in jeopardy. He was going to get at least one more year absent Luka demanding a new coach.

    Hell of a leader. Great post- season growth from year one to year 2.

    Hopefully fans don't overreact and blame him for what we're about to walk into. No level of prep, scheming, X&Os, sub pattern, not playing Vando or Thiero, or playing Bronny will get us past OKC.

    I just want to be competitive. I think JJ can have a big impact on that.

    Great gameplay by JJ on SGA, we executed it about as well as we could, kind of tough when the bench shoots 47% from 3.

    Thought JJ did great. Had us ready, good defensive gameplan, good schemes, good ATOs, quicker with timeouts to stop the runs.

    We're just in waaay over our heads in this one.
