The 2025-26 NBA season has turned for the Los Angeles Lakers. After a 15-4 start that mostly included games without LeBron James, the Lakers are 4-6 in their last 10 games. It's safe to say head coach JJ Redick isn't happy with this development.
Los Angeles lost its third consecutive game on Christmas in a 119-96 blowout against the Houston Rockets. Not only is it the third straight game the Lakers have lost, but it's the third straight game the Lakers lost by 15 or more points. It's been as ugly as it gets.
Perhaps it was the added stress of the holiday season, but Redick took his post-game media availability as an opportunity to go full scorched Earth on the team he coaches.
