‘Needs To Be Fired’: Lakers’ LeBron James’ Heated Reaction Against Play-In Tournament
Follow Us
LeBron James is finally back. After a month-long absence due to injury, LeBron is back in the purple and gold to help them secure a playoff spot. However, his return has not gone to plan.
The Lakers have continued to lose, even after James’ return. Perhaps, this is because the team has gotten used to playing without LeBron, so chemistry may be an issue. Regardless, the Lakers run the risk of falling to a play-in tournament spot.
LeBron James not a fan of the play-in tournament

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James spoke to the press after their loss to the Toronto Raptors. A reporter asked James about the play-in tournament and the possibility of the Lakers having to play it to make the playoffs. LeBron was not a fan of the idea, saying, “Whoever came up with that sh*t needs to be fired”.
James is clearly unhappy about the possibility of the Lakers having to play through the play-in after being the number one seed in the West last year.

The Lakers have a very difficult schedule going forward if they want to avoid the play-in tournament. Tomorrow, they face the Denver Nuggets, who have been in fantastic form.
Next, they’ll have to face the LA Clippers on Wednesday, and then finally face the Portland Trail Blazers on the weekend. All three games are must-win for the Lakers, as failing to win even one will allow the Trail Blazers to surpass them in the seedings.
Lakers need to find form
Clearly, the Lakers are going through chemistry issues at the moment. Lengthy absences from LeBron James and Anthony Davis meant the team had to learn to play without them.
Because of this, they haven’t hit the ground running. Furthermore, with any injury, there is always some rust that develops, and James and AD have to play their way through it. However, they need to take time into consideration.
