Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James offered a blunt assessment of his team after they lost their fourth consecutive game
The Los Angeles Lakers were crowned the first In-Season Tournament (IST) champions just under a month ago.
Since defeating the Indiana Pacers in Las Vegas to win the tournament, the Lakers have gone 3-10 and have now lost four straight games after Friday night’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
A down LeBron James spoke to the media at his locker following the game and offered a blunt assessment of his team’s play.
“I’m not thinking that far in the past, to be honest,” James said when asked whether the Lakers’ issues presented themselves before their current stretch of games. “We just suck right now.”
James put the IST victory, which the Lakers celebrated by hanging a banner at their home arena, in perspective.
