Part 3/8:
Transitioning to the NBA, the discussion quickly shifted to the Los Angeles Lakers' dire performance. The Lakers have lost six out of their last eight games, raising alarms about the coaching tactics employed by first-time coach JJ. Bru highlighted a concerning lack of effort from the players, evidenced by a game where they were outrebounded by a significantly less effective Miami team.
This dismantling of effort resulted in Bru placing JJ on the "bud list," a list of individuals currently under duress or in need of improvement. The hosts deliberated whether the criticisms placed on JJ were fair, given the team's laborious history. Bru emphasized that an air of arrogance surrounding JJ could magnify the pressure—one that traditionally requires substantial outputs to justify such a demeanor.
