A Lakers team of James and Anthony Davis lost to today to a Trail Blazers team that looked more like a development league team. This is likely to be the Lakers' lowest point of the season. In this game, Wei Shao missed the game due to waist muscle tension, and the Lakers played bloodlessly, and they lost this game.
After the game, when James appeared in front of the media, he spoke frankly about his mindset.
"Obviously it was a tough defeat. I'm so tired I just want to have some drinks and go to bed," LeBron added. "I'm sleepy. Tired. ”
James has been saying and doing all the right things since the season began in October. He never blamed Wei Shao like everyone else, but always preached unity.
"We're in the same trench," James said a few days ago. "No one can fight alone, no one can blame another person, and no one deserves more praise than another person." When we lose, we all lose. When we win, we all win. ”
Unfortunately, this time even James' leadership doesn't seem to be enough to turn things around.
After losing to the Blazers, the Lakers' record became 26-30, ranking 9th in the West. Even if the Lakers win the playoffs and make it to the playoffs, they will face an uphill battle. With the team lacking chips to trade, the Lakers can't even rely on a mid-season deal to save their season.
Needless to say, it's a dark time for the Lakers, and even King James can't help but admit he's tired of the fight.
In this game, James played 36 minutes and 41 seconds, with 30 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 6 turnovers.
