Lakers, Nuggets set to renew playoff rivalry with focus on present challenge

Posted : 19 April 2024

The historical matchups between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers, including the Nuggets' sweep in the 2023 Western Conference finals and the Lakers' victory in the 2020 playoffs, hold no sway over the current playoff series, according to LeBron James. James emphasized focusing on the present challenge rather than dwelling on past encounters, stating that the game unfolds as it happens, without preoccupation with past results.

 

LeBron stressed the importance of maintaining a balanced approach and not letting personal motivations interfere with the team's game plan. He highlighted the need to execute the strategies laid out by the coaching staff and remain composed throughout the series, drawing from his extensive postseason experience to emphasize the importance of staying level-headed regardless of the circumstances.

 

For Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell, who seeks redemption after his struggles in last year's playoffs, the upcoming series against Denver is approached with the same mindset as any other postseason matchup. Russell, who returned to the Lakers this season and has performed strongly, emphasized his readiness to compete against the defending champions, echoing James's sentiments of staying focused and prepared for the challenge ahead.

 

Lakers coach Darvin Ham echoed the sentiment of focusing on improvement and minimizing mistakes, recognizing the tight margins that decide playoff outcomes. With the series against Denver looming, Ham emphasized the need for discipline and attention to detail throughout the game, emphasizing the challenge ahead while embracing the competitive nature of postseason basketball.
