LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have struggled to win games consistently for the most part of the 2022-23 NBA season. But since the NBA trade deadline, the team has been injected with energy.
The new-look Lakers roster is playing exceptionally well, and that was the case when they faced off against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Speaking of which, during the game, there was one instance when Doncic bumped into LeBron and flew to the ground.
While it may look like LeBron was rock solid, and he didn’t even faze when Doncic bumped into him, in reality, it felt like Doncic had just attempted to draw a foul by flopping.
Doncic has been criticized several times by many for his constant flops. It makes him incredibly difficult to guard at times. Either way, his trick didn’t work against LeBron James. As for the game, the new-look Lakers gained a crucial victory.
Can The New-Look Roster Continue To Win Games In LeBron James’ Absence?
LeBron James is undoubtedly one of the best players to ever play in the NBA. Even at 38, he is considered the best player in the current NBA by many former players. Keeping that in mind, losing him in the most important part of the season is a crushing blow to the Lakers.
James’ absence was felt by the entire team during their matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. Many thought this would be the trend for the Lakers for the remainder of the season.
However, those doubts were put to rest after watching the Lakers’ dominant win against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Following that recent win, the Lakers may actually have a winning record until LeBron James returns from injury.
Once James is back on the roster, the Lakers will have an even stronger chance of not only making it to the playoffs but also having a decent postseason run.
