Lakers listed at 6’10” or bigger played a grand total of 39 minutes across that 5-games series.
And I can’t say definitively that I’d regret that if I were JJ Redick. – 8:49 AM

Luka Doncic on JJ Redick: “I think he’s a hell of a coach. Not many coaches do the stuff he did in his first year. I’m really glad (he coached me). Feels sometimes like I’m back in Europe a little bit. We have a great bond … it’s been nothing but amazing.” – 2:25 AM

Extended thoughts from LeBron on JJ Redick:
“I think whatever happens, JJ will continue to grow. Thought he had a hell of a rookie campaign … it’s a hell of a lot harder being a rookie head coach coaching the Lakers. A whole other ballgame. I thought he handled it extremely – 1:54 AM

If Redick doesn’t challenge that, Luka requests a trade tomorrow lol – 11:51 PM

“That’s the reason LeBron James only had two shots in the 4th quarter. He was tired.” 😳

Al Horford passed fellow Celtic legend Paul Silas in playoff rebounds for No. 17 in NBA history.
He’s also tied with Jamal Murray and JJ Redick in three-pointers at No. 33. – 4:38 AM

“Yeah, I spoke to everyone yesterday that would have potentially played in the second half. They all understood it. There was no issue with that.” – JJ Redick, when I asked about preventing Gabe/Vando/Goodwin from viewing the Game 4 2nd half DNP-CDs as a lack of confidence. AK – 7:16 PM

Khobi Price @khobi_price
JJ Redick responded “TBD” when asked whether the Lakers will have the same starting lineup for Game 5 as the one that played the entire second half in Game 4. – 4:37 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
JJ Redick on if film review from the 4th Q of Game 4 showed any fatigue from his players: “No. And you know what? What did we score, 19, 20 and 13 in the fourth quarter (of losses this series)? It’s a trend, more so than that. Our two best players missed layups at the rim” – 4:06 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
JJ Redick on LA trailing 3-1 heading into Wednesday’s Game 5:
“I would describe us as ‘on edge’, as we should be. We have to play with a sense of desperation.” – 3:58 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
JJ Redick: “We have to win Game 5…tomorrow is a Game 7 for us.” – 3:57 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
JJ Redick when asked if he’ll use the 2nd half lineup from Game 4 to start Game 5: “TBD” – 3:51 PM

@JumpShot8 shares his thoughts with @TermineRadio on Lakers head coach JJ Redick deciding to only play his starters in the 2ndhalf pic.x.com/succKRnxAR8:42 PM

Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
JJ Redick made a calculated decision not to sit LeBron or Luka to start the fourth… and rolled snake eyes.
