JJ Reddick addressed the media after the Lakers’ final regular season game. Speaking about their first round opponent in the playoffs, Reddick showed a lot of respect for them.
He said the Timberwolves are one of the NBA’s excellent two-way teams and are in great form. However, Reddick doesn’t see any advantage in his lack of experience playing Luka Donsic for the Lakers.
“A very difficult opponent. They’ve played more than anyone recently. I believe they are one of four teams in the top 10 attack and defense. They present a lot of problems.”
“There have been games from the past 6-7 weeks where I haven’t played a team since the ads came on the team. There are ways to prepare based on previous games and previous games against Luka.”
“We have a general idea of what our general role is, what their role is. It doesn’t necessarily matter that both teams don’t have anything on the tape with full strength.

Just as the Timberwolves pose a real threat to the Lakers, Redick will sigh at Ah Relief that the Lakers don’t have to stand up to the Clippers or Warriors.
With respect to the Timberwolves, they present the Lakers with the smallest threat compared to Clippers and Warriors.
The Warriors recently beat the Lakers. The Clippers have settled into a really strong shape. So avoiding them in the first round is a big boost.
However, the Lakers can’t afford to underestimate the Timberwolve. Anthony Edwards is a huge star that can rule over them every night.
