Magic Johnson discusses the reasons why the Lakers were eliminated after the game, "They need Davis too much"

Basketball

The Los Angeles Lakers ended their season by losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5.

Despite winning 50 games this season, the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated in the first round. For Redick, who is a first-time head coach, this moment seems too important, as his first playoff journey ends in disappointment. What the Lakers desperately need in this series is a center and some bench points. But Westbrook was once hated by Lakers fans, but he was giving the Nuggets what they needed.

fans were surprised, even though they were 3-1 behind at the start of the game. Many people think the Lakers will push the series into Game 5 at least.

NBA fans mocked the Lakers' poor performance

One of the first to join was Lakers legend Magic Johnson, who supported the Timberwolves when analyzing the Lakers' problems. “Congratulations to my good friends, Timberwolves owner Rodriguez, superstar Edwards and the entire Minnesota Timberwolves beat my Lakers and advanced to the next round.” “The reason the Lakers lost was that they played badly on defense, they were too small, and the Timberwolves dominated them in the paint.”

NBA fans teased the Lakers on social media. One fan noted, "Nico Harrison really sold a lemon to the Lakers. The misunderstood genius.

Another fan reviewed their failed deal in February, claiming: "The Lakers are in need of Mark Williams very much.

Some fans were surprised by the nature of their loss, writing: "The Lakers lost to the dominant Gobert performance.

"Another disappointed Lakers fan expressed his regret, and he simply wrote: "I miss Lakers' Anthony Davis. I don't care what no one said.

Although one fan pointed out that they have been terrible in this series, he wrote: "The Lakers did it again." Five consecutive 4th quarter offenses collapsed.

Pellinka had to properly rebuild Mark Williams, and if it weren't for a physical examination, the man who could have played center in Los Angeles did not waste time digging the Lakers, posting a subtle and exciting emoji response. Where will the Lakers go? Well, it's a great learning experience for Reddick to let them know what they shouldn't be doing in the playoffs. And for Pelinka, it reminds him that he must invest in lineup depth. You can't always ask superstars to carry the team like they did in the past five years.

If Pelinka takes the initiative to attack during the offseason and gets a center, whether it's Clarkston of the Nets, Capela of the Hawks, or any other suitable option, it would be ideal. Then this round of series may be in the playoffs, but everything is that if you can't return to the trading deadline of this season, you can only hope that Pelinka can make the right lineup reinforcement plan in the offseason.

The Lakers' problem is obvious. How to change the offseason will determine the effect of returning next season.
