Everyone’s record is 0-0 now – LeBron James before postseason

Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James feels any of the 16 teams in the postseason can go on to win the championship as the record is now at 0-0. The Lakers, who finished at the No. 7 seed, will face off against the No. 2 Memphis Grizzlies.

The Lakers have peaked at the right time and they will be looking to carry the good show in the playoffs. The Lakers have won 10 out of their 12 matches and they will be wanting to carry this winning impetus against Grizzlies.

The Lakers had finished the regular season with a 43-39 record. On the other hand, Grizzlies had a 51-31 record in the regular season.

“It’s 16 teams in the postseason, and there’s opportunity for all 16,” James said. “Everyone’s record is 0-0 now and we’re playing against a very worthy opponent and we respect them a lot. So we just got to be ready for the challenge.”

Meanwhile, Anthony Davis also concurred with LeBron James and feels the seeding doesn’t matter now, going into the postseason.

“I think seeding doesn’t matter,” Lakers big man Anthony Davis said after practice Saturday on the auxiliary court at FedEx Forum. “Once you get in, it’s all about matchups and things like that. We don’t look at ourselves as underdogs, obviously.”

On the other hand, the team’s head coach Darvin Ham feels his team will be fine if they will play with energy, urgency, and effort.

“At the end of the day, if you go out with energy, effort and urgency, and you’re ready to compete, usually that figures itself out,” Ham said.

“We see playoff teams drop home games all the time, and it feels like it’s a fair playing field,” Ham said. “We’ve got a healthy team, a healthy, deep, talented roster.”
