What is the reason for the Lakers losing to the Timberwolves in the playoffs?

The Lakers lost the series, I think the fundamental reason is "the sequelae of Doncic's Davis trade". After the lineup was disbanded, the appropriate forward players were not added in time, resulting in an overall collapse.

Especially after the failed transaction of Mawei, the team's dilemma of lack of inside lines has further exacerbated.

I have talked about a point of view in the transaction before, that is, the regular season and the playoffs are completely different games. The Lakers can win many games in the regular season, no problem, but if they really fight for their health in the playoffs, they will have big problems at that time.

The existing lineup cannot cope with a team like Jokic, and you will definitely lose if you encounter the Nuggets.

Before he finished speaking, facing Gobert of the Timberwolves, the Lakers were defeated by the opponent's inside. Gobert transformed into O'Neal, and the god descended to earth, and was swept by the opponent's gentleman.

This has not been said to meet Mr. Yoo. If Jokic was on the team, the Lakers still don’t know what they would be beaten.

In addition, Redick also paid the tuition fee. As a coach's recruit, he still lacks experience. I played the playoffs in the age of a player, and that was back then; as a coach, I felt different when I faced the playoffs.

Faced with the opponent's crazy counterattack and targeted deployment, Redick also failed. The team was unable to understand the idea of ​​on-the-spot command and substitution. The team reduced the rotation, making the main force fight desperately. There was no plan B, which also caused the Lakers to suffer a crushing defeat.

From the lineup structure to coaching experience, the Lakers failed all the time. Doncic was unable to make the situation come. He alone is not enough to change the team's problems. After

' loss, Pelinka responded in an interview, saying that we must make some moves this summer, continue to sign ups on the front line, and strive to be a competitive team next season.

From an objective perspective, does the Lakers still have the hope of winning the championship? This answer is yes. Their questions are not complicated. The team has "Zhan Dong's dual cores". The framework is fixed, and the rest is a reasonable lineup.

While James is still good, the team can continue to jump around for a season or two to see if they can win the championship next.

Reeves, I think the team's positioning of him is best "the sixth man". You can start in the regular season. In the playoffs, you may have to appropriately lower the ball and give him the ability to lead the team in the second team.

I have watched many games from him, and he is very good, but his physical athletic ability is still not enough. The regular season data is OK, but when he starts to compete for his health in the playoffs, it will be difficult for him to play a role.

After he comes on the court, the team's defense will have big problems. Originally, Doncic's defense speed is not enough now, and the forward transfer is likely to be missing. If he arranges him to start the defensive end, there will be big mistakes, and the team's sense of offense and defense will have problems.

A clever woman is hard to cook without rice. I think Redick is also suffering from the current lineup that is not very stable, which also leads to his tight response when directing and responding on the spot. If there is difficulty, he can only "respond to all changes" and use the main force to stabilize the situation in the end.

Let's take a look. Failure this season will not be final. The Lakers will not be able to do it at all. Everyone knows that their lineup is not complete now. After trading Davis, the inside line has been short of people, and there is still a big gap compared to mature teams.

How will the results be next season? Maybe it can test whether Doncic's transaction is successful.

We can be patient to see what adjustments the Lakers will make in the future.
