On Sunday, Lakers on Sunday-three, half on the road against hard forest trees, just 24 minutes from pulling out an advantage in a home court or falling into a hole with a score of 3: 1, in which the NBA teams rise from only 4.5% of the time-main coach La JJ Redick, and decided to pierce a torpedo. There is no longer Gabe Vincent, Jarred Vanderbilt or Jordan Goodwin, who in the first half of the game 4 became non -terrible. Jaxon Hayes, who produced more personal fouls (eight) than glasses (seven) in the first three plus games of the series.
Redik would leave the rest of the path with Lebron James, Luke Donchich, Austin Reeves, Rui Khachimura and Dorin Finnie-Smith-Summer-Five Guys, who, as he could trust and take pictures against excellent protection of the Minnesota and, in order to withstand strength, athleticism and physical, brought to Anthony Edward, Rudi Gobert, Chibert, Chiber. And the team of Golokov -Volkov. There is no bench; Not one at all.
The gambling game Redick did not pay off. After the stroke ago, in order to take on the lead of 10 points in the fourth quarter, the Lakers group, according to Edwards, received, “Gassed walked along the length”, shooting at only 5 out of 18 in the fourth and 3 at the last 5:05 A rule to open the door for the Minnesota, to the chapter with the ants, who burned his reputation as an exquisite field, at a guest of a guest. who spoke in reputation as covered by a guest who acted as a reputation as a reputation-to the conclusion leading in his head, and in a guest that played in reputation, away. Lakers on the verge of an early exit and a long off -season.

The chief coach of the first year did not invite criticism for the fact that he decided to turn off the submarines in favor of a 40-year-old ride, who registered 41 minutes two nights earlier, and a dude who went through almost the entire attack workload of Los Angeles, who had just played 40 minutes through the stomach virus to the finish line. If the Lakers go to the game on Wednesday, playing 5, who looked, the radish will most likely be raked from coal … Especially if the wolves whose minutes of distribution are watched completely socialist, compared to themselves, rise to the ground and look like a more fresh team.
“We go to the depths of 8-9-10 with guys who continue to fight and find ways to influence the game,” said Mike Conley Jr., who plays Wolves after winning on Sunday.
Lakers, although … well, they do not. In any case, not in any case, after the deal brought Donchich, they also sent Anthony Davis and Max Christie, after they planned their planned deal after the AD-AD for the Hornets Center Mark Williams about medical problems, and in the end, they discovered a ransom, was Alex Len.
You do not play the same composition for the entire second half of the game in the play -off, because you want; You do this because you feel what you should. And with Heis, overwhelming against Gobert, with Vincent, Wanderbilt and Goodwin, who shoot at the 8-K-22 series, and with wolves that exert tire pressure at both ends, especially when they can ignore Wanderbilt and Goodwin to pack the paint or attack the lesser Vincolation, as well as he, like him.

“It was not planned,” Redik told reporters after the game. “We just made a decision in the break.”
The match from the Minnesota will expose the absence of the size and depth of the Lakers, and this has always been one of the alleged shortcomings of Mega-border of the middle part, similar to the one that led Luke to shaking with the change in the sea La, such as Rashid Wallace, which contributed to the pistone or the marmus gas, the accusatory impact, much more than the board; It moves among the season this Dramatic rarely leads to instant discord of the championship. Most often, the time of major repairs either needs time to jelly, another list of list management, in order to add talent for either both. Even the previous gold standard Lakers for seasonal shifts, adding Pau Gasol in 2008, immediately Create a name. (It took a year.)

“We know that our list continued to do the work in order to be completed,” said the general director of Lakers Rob Pelinka Rob Pelinka after the trading of Donchich. “We are going to build a list that is suitable for basketball philosophy JJ Redick.”
This intention does not actually help Lakers in the present tense. No matter how teasing the offensive partnership between Donchich and James would be as impressive as Reeves looked at the end of the season as the third option, and as powerful as the flanking flanking small balls that the trio with Khachimura and Finni could be, right away that Stavex Staroli, in accordance with the offensive, in accordance with large Players, including in the fact that in circumstances, depending on the fact that the square Lakers may have a retired real act. In four games, they allow 118.9 points for 100 possessions – worse than any member of the postsuzon outside Miluoka and Miami.
Against the team of wolves, which can deploy Gobert, Randla and Nazi Raida, Lakers played 158 out of 192 minutes (83%) without the center on the floor and in them-Minus-12. They get killed At the break, refuse more than 1.5 points for the play of the transition period, the worst in the play -off. And after he leaned so much to his main ruler to get them within the sight of the finish line, they stumbled upon the tape, and not making their way through it, passing 36 points in 48 fourth minutes in the series.
Of course, there is a complete perception of glass: in a series, solved in the worst parts, if any of a number of plays is an expensive turnover, one refuted dishonest challenge, one disputed trip, one missed angle of 3 and a couple of smoked gaskets, the other path, Lakers could well go to the house 2-2, with the house. Change the result of any of these handfuls of plays, and, perhaps, the gambling game Redick looks like a brilliant gambit, and not as a desperate trick that appeared.

Maybe the radish found one or two possibilities to give their guys a short respite, slightly more fresh players could make one of these plays. Perhaps if he took them at all, the wolves would open the game to the edge, which did not reach the possession of here or there in the last minutes. Passing through hypothetical and counterfacts can be interesting, but the game unfolded as it was; The world turned and left us here.
“I think that as soon as you have made this decision as it were, and (players) all come in, you just have to trust them,” Radik told reporters after the game.
Well, if they had not been before, Redik and Lakers, of course, is all now. Come in the next training camp, he can sit at the poker table with the other hand. If he wants to extend this The season, however, he will have to find a way to win with what was handed over to him.
