Following a team meeting and a long practice Saturday, the Lakers appear to be back on the same page after a three-game losing streak. Redick, in particular, was far more calm and collected, taking some blame for calling out his players following the team's loss to the Houston Rockets, per ESPN."Myself, I'm always going to look in the mirror first," said Redick, who is in his second season as Lakers coach. "And I think it's easy as a player, as a coach to say, 'It's this guy's fault,' or, 'We're not doing this because X, Y, and Z.'"Was it uncomfortable?"The truth is uncomfortable," Redick said, "and so you have to put everything out there, that's all it is."While Redick's note about the truth being uncomfortable suggests it was a contentious meeting, it doesn't appear that was the case.
