The Los Angeles Lakers increased their lead in the Western Conference with an impressive road win against the Nuggets. After the game, LeBron James claims seeding isn’t a topic of conversation for the team.
“We don’t talk about it,” James said after the Lakers’ 120-116 overtime win gave L.A. a four-game lead over the Nuggets heading into the All-Star break. “For us, we would love to play in front of our home fans as much as we can. We love being there with our Laker faithful.
He also mentioned that you play every game for its merit, you don’t what will happen the next game. You can only look at the present game as they did today.

“It doesn’t matter to me if I’m a 6 seed, or a 3 seed, or a 2 seed. If I come into your building for a Game 1, it will be very challenging”.
Lebron James likes where the Lakers are right now
LeBron feels they are exactly where the team needs to be right now. They will come back after the All-star break and get ready for the final stretch of the regular season. They understand how they have played until now and that they need to get better and just trust the process. “We look forward to when we get back, getting back on the floor and see how far we’ll continue to grow.”
