There is no doubt that this was a game that was winnable for the Lakers, and they may very well regret not winning this contest. However, the Lakers still have an opportunity to make the playoffs outright or through the play-in tournament still, and we’ll see what happens in the future.
LeBron James Says The Lakers’ Goal Is To Win A Championship This Season
Forward LeBron James previously revealed that the team’s goal is to win the championship this season, claiming that the team has made a lot of progress over the course of the last month. This loss definitely doesn’t help them in that pursuit whatsoever.
“We just want to put ourselves in a position to be able to compete for a championship,” LeBron said. “It’s a journey and obviously, we don’t have as much chemistry as a lot of other teams that are trying to compete for a championship or have aspirations to win a championship, but I like what we’ve been building over the last month or so.”
It is clear that the Los Angeles Lakers have the talent to potentially get far in the postseason this year. We’ll see how well they do going forward, and there’s still a chance they will have to play in the play-in tournament. However, the team has clearly been more confident since the trade deadline, and they could definitely end up surprising a lot of people with how far they get in the postseason this year.
