LeBron James was not happy with how the Lakers performed in their 106-104 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. Here are four takeaways from the game.
Russell Westbrook missed a pair of critical shots down the stretch as the Lakers fall to 0-3 on the young season with a loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.
“Right now you got a ‘s---' mood. I mean, you just lost,” James said. “I think if you’re around a group of guys that are excited after a loss, then that’s the worst business that you can be in. So, that’s the mood right now. But I’ll leave my frustration and what I have here. Once I drive out the tunnel, I’m going to leave it here. That’s it.”Lakers forward Anthony Davis, right, strips the ball from Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic during the first half.
Anthony Davis was short with his answers postgame. He was quiet, his mood downcast after he had produced a line of 22 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks.James seemed resigned, his answers about how the team was feeling after two straight close losses, to the Clippers Thursday and to the Trail Blazers Sunday, telling.
“I got to move on to tomorrow, how I can get better tomorrow and get ready for this tough road trip that we have coming up in Minnesota and starting in Denver,” James said. “So, we kind of should be mad and frustrated and thinking about plays where we could have been better or done a better job of this or whatever throughout the course of a 48-minute game.”Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe, center, puts up a shot during the second half.
