The Lakers were out in the first round of the NBA playoffs, and Redick's lack of playoff experience was magnified

With the Lakers eliminated 4-1 by the Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the team's rookie head coach Redick's lack of playoff experience has been amplified even more. In fact, in the series between the Lakers and the Timberwolves, when the Timberwolves led 3-1 after the first four games, former NBA player Marcus Morris Jr. (Marcus Morris) thought that Lakers head coach Redick must bear a lot of responsibility.

Morris Jr. bluntly said in the latest episode of "The Kevin O'Connor Show" that the Lakers are currently experiencing coaching problems, in which he talked about Edwards' frequent single opportunities, saying: "You must not let Edwards get so many one-on-one single opportunities on the court, because Redick did not change the defensive strategy in time, let Edwards attack freely, in the state of the Timberwolves' offense, invisibly let other Gray Wolves role players have more opportunities to play."

In addition, because Redick did not let the bench players on the court at all in the second half of G4, James and Doncic were exhausted, while the Timberwolves players remained energetic, Morris believes that Redick's requirements for the 40-year-old James are too high: "Now the Lakers' requirements for James are actually to play point control, power forward, small forward, and he has to score efficiently, organize offense, and help teammates get opportunities, and he has to hit key shots when he is in these positions."

In the end, Morris thought the Lakers would have to make adjustments, such as using more guards to press the whole court or finding ways to disrupt Edwards' offensive rhythm, but those didn't show up in the early games.
