JJ Redick is experiencing his first NBA postseason as a head coach this year as the Los Angeles Lakers face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
This isn't Redick's first time experiencing the NBA playoffs in general—he played in 13 postseasons over his 17 years in the league. Competing in that many important postseason games allowed Redick to not overreact after a single bad night during his playing years, as some of his teams overcame a Game 1 loss to win the series.
