The Los Angeles Lakers are going through a rough patch and the defeat to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday marked their sixth in the last seven games.
However, LeBron James is confident that the Lakers still have a chance and can come back strong to push for the playoffs.
“We still have games to play,” James told reporters after the defeat to the Mavs. “Until you stomp me out, cut my head off, bury me 12 feet under, then I’ve got a chance. So that’s my confidence.”
“Obviously, at the end of the day, we got to come in here and win ball games and we got to play better but as long as we’ve got more games to play, we should have a chance”.
The Lakers are currently two games away from falling out of the play-in tournament (placed 9th in the Western Conference with a 27-34 record) and in their most recent homecourt defeat to the New Orleans Pelicans the squad was booed by the crowd.
“I feel like poop right now. But tomorrow is a new day and I’m going to be prepared and ready for the Clippers on Thursday. That’s just my mindset. That’s just who I am“, James concluded.
