LOS ANGELES — The words that came out of JJ Redick’s mouth Friday night, after the Lakers’ eighth victory in 11 games – but one that featured kind of a sloppy start – were a challenge to his team.If you are a Laker fan of long standing, you might have heard the echo of another young coach with this franchise, one who ultimately became a coaching icon.“Our game plan discipline tonight was so bad, so bad,” Redick began, after the Lakers had pulled away for a 119-102 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. The criticism? The stuff was in the scouting…
Derwin James Jr. said all week that 11 was better than 10, which was precisely how the Chargers approached their regular-season finale against the Raiders on Sunday in Las Vegas. He and his teammates and the coaching staff made it clear they were playing to win Sunday.It didn’t seem to matter to them that they might be locked into the sixth-seeded spot in the AFC, rendering their game against the Raiders almost meaningless. It also didn’t seem matter that they could move up to fifth if they win and the Cincinnati Bengals defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday.The Chargers’ stated…

I was among those who had forgotten, amid all the single-minded focus on his “malaise” speech and its televised, cardigan-sweatered dourness, that the late former President Jimmy Carter was actually among the funniest of our nation’s chief executives.He was a lot of other things, too. He was an actual Christian, who lived his faith in extraordinary ways, rather than a pretend Christian who sells branded Bibles he hasn’t read, in a quest for votes, and cash.He was easily the most rock ‘n’ roll president, who forged a genuine, decades-long friendship with his home state of Georgia’s Allman BrothersBand, and installed…

And then from late November through late December, it was the defense either keeping the Lakers in games or fueling victories.And lately, it’s been the Lakers’ offense that has picked back up, with the defense taking a step back.But Redick on Friday made it clear that he maintains his belief that this team can be good on both ends of the…

LOS ANGELES — NBA legend and TNT analyst Charles Barkley criticized JJ Redick for comments he made a few weeks ago – and the Lakers coach, apparently, couldn’t care less. During the Thursday broadcast of the “Inside the NBA” studio show, Barkley made it clear he took exception to part of Redick’s response when he was asked about the discourse surrounding the state of the league ahead of the Lakers’ Dec. 19 victory over the Sacramento Kings. “I don’t think we as, and by we, I was part of it, we as the sort of national partners have done a…
