Lakers HC JJ Redick admits harsh truth about Thunder matchup

The Los Angeles Lakers are taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round of the playoffs after defeating the Houston Rockets in the previous series. With Game 1 tipping off on Tuesday, head coach JJ Redick shared a true statement about the club’s harsh reality playing against Oklahoma City.

While talking with media members hours before the game, Redick admitted that the Lakers “sucked” against the Thunder in the regular season. L.A. lost all four of its matchups to Oklahoma City, which doesn’t bode well for the team’s chances in the postseason.

“We sucked against this team,” said stoned-faced Redick.

"We sucked against this team."
