LeBron James Praises Atmosphere In Latest Instagram Post

LeBron James has been a part of many great playoff moments. But this year, James and his Los Angeles Lakers needed to punch their playoff ticket through the play-in tournament. On Tuesday night, the Lakers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves to earn the seventh seed in the Western Conference. While the play-in tournament may not officially be the playoffs. It didn’t stop Lakers fans from being just as loud and passionate when cheering on their team.

James didn’t let the passion of the fan base go unnoticed. In James’ latest Instagram post, the Lakers star mentioned the amazing atmosphere during Tuesday’s game. Some in the media are slowly coming around to the idea that the Lakers can make a run to the NBA Finals. However, the team will first need to get by the second seed of the Western Conference, the Memphis Grizzlies. Check out James’ latest Instagram post below.

LeBron James Willing Lakers Playoff Push

The Lakers had an atrocious beginning to the season. Along with injuries to James and Anthony Davis, it seemed that the playoffs would only be a dream. However, the team got healthy. Then they began playing as one unit. Now, they find themselves with the opportunity to prove a lot of doubters wrong. But the struggles during the regular season didn’t do them any favors with their playoff matchup. If the Lakers were to get by the Grizzlies, they would meet the winner of the Kings-Warriors series. Which would be another difficult change for any team. Not just the Lakers.

Step one is complete for James and the Lakers. The win on Tuesday means the team can have some rest before their first-round matchup. The eighth seed in the Western Conference will be decided on Friday between the Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder. After that, the playoffs will officially be underway. So, what side are you on? Do you believe that LeBron James can defy the odds and bring Los Angeles another championship? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
