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.
