After the Lakers lost to the Raptors 114-121, LeBron James’ post-game words aroused heated discussion among fans. The Lakers lost three games in a row and fell to sixth place in the Western Conference. The Lakers have lost 6 of their past 7 games. In the future, they will face the Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Suns, and Knicks. These are all strong teams! So let's take a look together.
Of course, it is really possible for the Lakers to play in the play-offs. After the game, LeBron James said: "After all, no matter where we are, it doesn't matter if I'm not close to 100% healthy. That's my mentality. It doesn't matter if we end up fifth or sixth or whatever the playoff extras are. Game, no matter who came up with this idea, they should be fired."
After all, the Lakers' record is declining. If the Lakers were the top three in the Western Conference, the meaning of James's words would be completely different. However, "NBC Sports" showed what James said when he participated in the podcast "Road Trippin" on March 27, 2020, local time during the suspension of last season. This is contrary to current remarks, when James said: "The league now has the Trail Blazers, Memphis, New Orleans, and Sacramento intertwined (meaning team rankings), so if there are 5 to 10 games left in the regular season, why are these teams Can’t they compete? Let them play five games directly!” Some fans said: “Is James also a double standard?”
About LeBron James, James is fourth. He was replaced with 6 minutes and 42 seconds left in the quarter and then returned to the locker room without showing up. Later, the Lakers officially announced that James had soreness in his right ankle and would not play again. The Lakers' offense was disorganized at the critical moment, and the Raptors finally had the last laugh.
James made 6 of 11 shots and scored 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists in 27 minutes! Okay, that’s it for today. Thank you all for watching. If you have any ideas, please leave a message for discussion! See you tomorrow. If you like it, remember to like or share it!
