LeBron James says the Lakers being out of playoff contention is ‘challenging,’ but he also knew what he was getting himself into

LOS ANGELES — The last time LeBron James missed the playoffs, the iPhone and Twitter weren’t invented yet, so to call him and the Los Angeles Lakers being all but eliminated from postseason contention with 16 games left to play a massive disappointment for himself, the organization and their fanbases would be an understatement.

But while most have focused on what went wrong to leave the Lakers in this spot, it was interesting to listen to James opine on where they go from here after the team’s 120-107 loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday.
