Lakers Coach Says No Pity Parties Allowed …

Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick is channeling his inner tough love life coach as he urges his team to quit whining about their jam-packed schedule. The Lakers are on a whirlwind adventure through altitude and cheese, tackling the Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks back-to-back like professional globetrotters. Six games in eight days? Yawn. Injury woes? Double yawn. JJ isn’t buying their sob story!

Speaking of sob stories, even Chris Paul got called out for grousing about the schedule. But hey, blame it on the glory of post-NFL national TV slots stuffing the calendar silly! Back-to-backs, Redick quips, are just the NBA’s special way of building character. As for the tough road trip where they went winless, missing their superstars like LeBron James? That’s just a plot twist in their epic season saga.

Rising star Jordan Goodwin’s contract drama resembles a soap opera of its own, with Redick juggling trust issues and roster puzzles like some chess grandmaster. As LeBron and Rui Hachimura prep for comeback tours, Redick’s magic mantra remains simple: forget the schedule blues, fire up the wins, and get the squad healthy before playoff time!
