The playoffs start next week for Lakers, who hope for a positive outcome to offer a new title to LeBron James in particular. But some people have doubts about King's capacities.
The serious things will be able to start in the NBA. The regular season ends this Sunday evening with 15 games, meaning that all the franchises will be on the prosecution. The Lakers face the Blazers in an uninteresting match, allowing JJ Redick to run his workforce. LeBron James, Luka Doncic or Austin Reaves will therefore be at rest.
We do not yet know what will happen in Postseason, but it is an ideal preparation for the Angelinos. The executives will have a total week of rest to recover and potentially treat themselves, which will be very useful in the case of LeBron James. He appeared in suffering against Houston Friday evening and that worries a few people.
LeBron James pinned before the playoffs
We imagine that James will not necessarily be 100%, but count on him to give himself thoroughly. 40 years or not, we obviously know its importance for the franchise, although some observers have great doubts about it. It is not really in attack that the problem arises for the King, but in defense to believe people.
A bit like Luka Doncic, it is also in defense that the players will have to raise their tone. Warriors and other franchises know that Slovenian is not an example in this area, just like James, sometimes more concentrated on other tasks. And this is a problem according to this recruiter, who spoke for ESPN.
Anonymous recruiter on LeBron James : “The thing with LeBron is that he will not commit faults. You can easily score on him with the good duel. With the right workforce, he could be exposed in defense during these playoffs. He's incredible, I don't want to take anything away from him, but it's certainly anxiety. »»
James sometimes had defense problems in the past. His age and pains do not arrange his case, but we imagine that the king is rather serene at the moment. Lakers too, even if JJ Redick must undoubtedly think about plans. What is certain is that James and Doncouic will be targeted by the Playoff attacks.
Should we worry about the defense of LeBron James? Possible for this observer, who believes that King is not reliable in this area. But given his motivation and the issues, we also know that he can outdo himself.
