The coaching switch from Adrian Griffin to Doc Rivers was tough. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard could not quite find their groove in terms of schemes due to the changes in scheme philosophy. This, along with the Greek Freak's injury, meant that the Milwaukee Bucks' postseason hopes would come crashing down yet again. A lot of the vitriol was hurled towards their new head honcho and some players have gone out to defend him.
Matt Barnes says the Los Angeles Lakers' coaching vacancy is a tough gig, but thinks JJ Redick would be able to handle the pressure ... telling TMZ Sports the former sharp-shooter has a "great basketball mind." The Purple and Gold are looking for their next head coach now that Darvin Ham is out after two years ... and they're in desperate search of someone who can get them back in perennial title contention. Barnes told us at LAX this week he doesn't have a clear favorite to take over the clipboard in L.A. ... but when we asked about Redick's name being thrown around as a potential candidate, he was all about it. "JJ's a great mind, he definitely deserves a shot," Barnes said.
