The Los Angeles Lakers faced scrutiny last June when the franchise decided to hire an inexperienced JJ Redick as the franchise’s next head coach.<\/p>\n

While Redick guided the Lakers to victory in a game against the Timberwolves in his coaching debut in October, Los Angeles came up short against Minnesota in the postseason.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Timberwolves held on for a 103-96 victory<\/a> in Game 5 to eliminate the Lakers from playoff contention.<\/p>\n

Several critics have questioned Redick’s decision-making during the playoff series<\/a>, especially his handling of the team’s rotation. But ESPN’s Brian Windhorst suggested the first-year Lakers head coach had issues regulating his emotions before Game 5 tipped off.<\/p>\n

“Reggie Miller said on the broadcast last night he had to try to calm him down in the pregame meeting because JJ was acting, frankly, childishly,” Windhorst said<\/a> Thursday during an appearance on ESPN’s “Get Up.”<\/p>\n

Redick walked out of a news conference ahead of Game 5 after a reporter questioned him about playing the Lakers’ starters for the entire second half of Game 4.<\/p>\n

“Are you saying that because I am inexperienced and that was an inexperienced decision that I made?” a visibly agitated Redick responded<\/a> before storming out. “You think I don\u2019t talk to my assistants about substitutions every single timeout? That\u2019s a weird assumption.”<\/p>\n

Windhorst added that his comments were not meant to be a personal criticism of Redick.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t mean this in a personal way. JJ Redick coached very immaturely in this series,” Windhorst added. “In retrospect, JJ will realize that he did not put the Lakers in the best position to win.”<\/p>\n

The Lakers acquired superstar guard Luka Don\u010di\u0107<\/a> in a blockbuster trade in February.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The five-time NBA All-Star led the Lakers with 28 points Wednesday but continued to be a defensive liability. The Lakers’<\/a> front office will face several tough decisions this offseason as the franchise looks to avoid first-round playoff elimination for a third consecutive season.<\/p>\n
