Like most Lakers fans, head coach JJ Redick was very unhappy with his team's defense in its 126-102 loss to the Spurs on Monday.

After a bad first half on defense, coach JJ Redick challenges the Lakers, who rally to beat Miami and end three-game losing streak.

The Lakers seemed on their way to their fourth straight loss in the first half of Wednesday's game versus the Heat, but they turned the tide and won.

When the Los Angeles Lakers have been at their best, their defense has been on point. In their return to the court against the San Antonio Spurs, that defense greatly failed them in the second half and head coach JJ Redick had no answer.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been on the search for center depth virtually all season. Head coach JJ Redick, at times, has had only Anthony Davis and two-way center Christian Koloko to turn to, leading the team to play mostly small-ball.

It’s debatable whether the Los Angeles Lakers are better, worse, or the same as last year. While it is evident that JJ Redick’s team plays differently in some aspects under his rule, other aspects look eerily similar to those under Darvin Ham.

After resisting the idea throughout much of the season, JJ Redick revealed at practice on Thursday that he would be using more two-big lineups in the upcoming games for the Lakers.
