There’s been an inescapable and yet unidentifiable weirdness that has been permeated the Los Angeles Lakers throughout their stay at the Orlando Bubble. Early on in their stay, LeBron James discussed some unidentified off-court issues that are causing issues for him and the Los Angeles Lakers. James was pressed about what he meant or what he is talking about in a sitdown with TNT’s Chris Haynes. What followed was a pretty weird non-answer in which LeBron insists that the Lakers chemistry is fine, but that they are dealing with some more ‘intricate’ issues that he did not want to divulge on camera.
During seeding games LeBron James was asked about the team’s struggles and he made a comment saying there were things going on behind the scenes that nobody knew about. He touched on that. @NBAonTNT pic.twitter.com/CcQXEukNI4

What could LeBron mean? The players are obviously away from their families, as well as several other things that they are accustomed to in everyday life. But while LeBron and the Lakers are certainly dealing with this, so is everyone else that is currently in the playoffs. As it looks so far, Damian Lillard and the Blazers in no mood to feel bad for what the Lakers are going through.
