LeBron James was not happy with the Los Angeles Lakers.
LeBron James is still one of the best players in the NBA today, and there's no doubt that he is still playing at a superstar level. Currently, LeBron James is averaging 27.8 PPG, 8.1 RPG, and 6.6 APG.
Recently, LeBron James put up an amazing 38-point performance against the Dallas Mavericks. However, the Los Angeles Lakers lost that game, and the result left a lot of fans angry. It is clear that LeBron James came to play, but unfortunately, he did not get enough support from the rest of the roster.
A recent photo of LeBron James looking disappointed during the game went viral on Twitter, and it is clear that LeBron James wasn't happy with the way the Los Angeles Lakers played.
There is no question that the Los Angeles Lakers are a poor team right now, and it is easy to see why LeBron James was frustrated. Despite his best efforts, the team simply hasn't been able to win that many games.
Hopefully, we see LeBron James manage to help the Los Angeles Lakers win more games in the future. But at the end of the day, it is up to some of the other players to step up and help the superstar out if the team is to make it to the postseason.
The Los Angeles Lakers Could Still Make It To The Play-In Tournament
There is no doubt that the Los Angeles Lakers have not had a good season, but there is still a path for them to get to the playoffs through the play-in tournament. In fact, recently, an NBA analyst suggested that they could still make the play-in tournament as long as LeBron James remains healthy.
Lakers will make the Play-In Tournament: That’s about as spicy as I’m willing to get with a group currently facing more questions than answers. Without knowing the extent of Anthony Davis’ injury, or whether the team is going to make a trade, the Lakers’ season is hanging in a weird balance. But I think as long as LeBron James remains healthy, they have a decent chance of remaining around .500 until Davis returns. Their young supporting cast is beginning to click, and I think this group can overachieve relative to modest expectations.
Hopefully, that does end up being the case for the Los Angeles Lakers. They definitely have the ability to make the play-in tournament, especially since the bottom of the Western Conference isn't that good.
The key for the Los Angeles Lakers right now is to try and make a win-now trade to help LeBron James until Anthony Davis returns. Though they may not send out any assets to make the trade, even getting one good-fitting role player can go a long way for this roster.
