Video: LeBron James Punishes Mouthpiece in Frustration After Missed Layup vs Blazers

LeBron James is pretty serious about his game in the NBA bubble. He had some struggles, but that’s just part of the bubble life. Players have to adjust to the climate and playing under all the guidelines is tricky. That’s not all. There are no fans in attendance and superstars sure miss the crowds. The struggle is huge and the pressure grows bigger with every day that goes by. Even the great LeBron James threw his mouthpiece in Game 2 vs Portland Trail Blazers.

LeBron’s team play the Blazers in the first round and they lost Game 1. There are some struggles, and the Lakers had to improve their shooting. They are on Game 2, and the first half was more than impressive. However, there’s one major thing LeBron would love to change.

LeBron James doesn’t like missing a layup in the series vs Portland Trail Blazers

The king missed a layup in the game against the Blazers on Thursday. There’s no room for panic. LeBron has never lost in the first round of the playoffs and the Lakers are still favorites to win the series against Portland. Yes, the Game 1 thing doesn’t even change the situation in Orlando. LA plays well, and players are super excited about the opportunity to win a championship.

LeBron mentioned something about the problem his team has outside the arena. But, the team repaired the damage in the final seeding games and the problem disappeared. LA had some offensive struggles but they found the right winning formula.

It will be a challenging playoff run for the team. The Lakers haven’t made the playoffs in years. They are hungry for a win and so is LeBron. The four-time NBA MVP came to Los Angeles to help the Lakers win their title. He is doing a really good job on the court. Plus, he has Anthony Davis by his side. Davis is the right partner for LeBron and they make the best duo in the NBA. Vogel is satisfied with their work on the floor and hopefully, we will see more of that in the next couple of months.
