LeBron James' proclamation as he got up from his cubby in the cramped visitor's locker room inside Smoothie King Center and turned the corner towards the showers sounded more exasperated than excited.

Beating the New Orleans Pelicans in Tuesday's play-in tournament game earned the 39-year-old James and the Los Angeles Lakers four days to rest and prepare for Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets (Saturday, 8 p.m. ET on ABC).
L.A. will need plenty of rest -- and maybe some luck -- to get past the defending champs.
