把勒布朗·詹姆斯列入本赛季强烈反对在锦标赛中比赛的名单。
“不管是谁想出了这个狗屎需要被解雇，”他说后，洛杉矶湖人队输给多伦多猛龙队周日，根据体育的比尔奥拉姆。
由于周日的失利，湖人队与达拉斯小牛队和波特兰开拓者队在西部第五和第七名之间陷入了三方平局。无论哪支球队在赛季末占据第七，都需要击败排名第八的球队，才能立即晋级季后赛首轮。
这场比赛的失败者将面对第九和第十种子队的胜者，以确定西部第八和最后一支季后赛球队。
湖人在今年年初的比赛中并没有出现在比赛范围内。然而，自从安东尼·戴维斯因跟腱问题缺席两个月后复出，他们现在的战绩是1胜4负，现在已经连输两场，詹姆斯又回到了阵容中。
他们在常规赛还有8场比赛要打，但是他们接下来的4场比赛将对阵一些顶级球队：丹佛掘金队、洛杉矶快船队、波特兰开拓者队和菲尼克斯太阳队。
为了让湖人的事情更加紧迫，詹姆斯在周日输给多伦多猛龙队的比赛中，右脚踝酸痛离场，而这也是他最近缺席20场比赛的原因。他将在星期一再次接受评估。
詹姆斯并不是本赛季唯一一个批评新剧的人。达拉斯小牛队老板马克·库班和加盟球星卢卡·唐契奇也在4月份表达了对这一想法的担忧。

LeBron: Whoever invented play-in tournament 'needs to be fired'
原文：
Add LeBron James to the list of those vehemently opposed to a play-in tournament this season.
"Whoever came up with that shit needs to be fired," he said after the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, according to The Athletic's Bill Oram.
With Sunday's defeat, the Lakers fell into a three-way tie with the Dallas Mavericks and Portland Trail Blazers between fifth and seventh place in the Western Conference. Whichever team occupies seventh at the end of the season will need to beat the eighth-place team to immediately progress to the first round of the playoffs.
The loser of that game will then face the winner of a matchup between the ninth and 10th seeds to determine the eighth and final playoff team in the West.
The Lakers weren't expected to be in the range of the play-in tournament at the start of the year. However, they're now 1-4 since Anthony Davis returned from a two-month absence due to an Achilles issue, and have now lost two straight with James back in the lineup.
They still have eight games to play in the regular season but their next four are against some of the conference's top teams: the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers, and Phoenix Suns.
To make the Lakers' matters more pressing, James left Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors early with soreness in his right ankle - the same one that recently sidelined him for 20 games. He will be evaluated again Monday.
James isn't the only one to criticize the new play-in format for this season. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and franchise star Luka Doncic also aired concerns with the idea in April.
