LeBron James Explains Mindset When Facing Sub .500 Teams

When James was asked how the Lakers handle inferior teams, he explained that they do not take wins and losses into account when playing them.

“Cause we’re not paying attention to records nor are we paying attention to ours or the opponent’s. We’re just going out and playing and trying to get better every game. Like Coach said, the team’s that have sub-.500 records aren’t sub-.500 teams.

If you look at tonight, you see what San Antonio was able to do at home and they’re just a very well-organized team and Memphis been playing better and all the teams — Washington’s been playing better, they’re the No. 1 or No. 2 offensive rating team in the league.

We just gotta be ready and we can’t worry about what the record is and who we’re playing. We gotta continue to play our type of basketball and we’ve been able to do that.”
