As Lakers Keep Scuffling, the Bay vs. LA Could Go Down 

LeBron James thinks the play-in for the NBA playoffs is a bad idea. Which is odd, because in March 2020, James thought having the 7-11 seeds duke it out late in the regular season was a good idea.

So why the sudden change of heart?

Well, his Lakers currently find themselves at No. 5 in the Western Conference, with just a game separating them from the No. 7 seed Portland Trailblazers. Los Angeles went 7-13 in the 17-time All Star’s 20-game absence because of an ankle injury, and lost to Sacramento and Toronto in two contests with James before a reaggravation of his ankle has him sidelined for at least the next pair of games.
