What did James say?

James said, “I've been in the postseason way too long in my career to know that you don't get too high from Game 1 or get too high over whoever the matchup is. You got to just stay even-keeled. There's gonna be a lot of swings throughout the game, throughout a series."

The GOAT player went on to add, "And it's how long you can just keep your mind even-keeled and keep the main thing the main thing. They're a great team. We know what we're capable of. But the game is not won in the transcripts. The game is won in between the four lines. And that's all that matters."

The Purple and Gold were swept in the Conference Finals last season and are now on a nine-game losing streak against the Nikola Jokic-led side. However, recent interviews by the likes of Darvin Ham and Anthony Davis suggested that they are looking forward to ending the losing streak and are in no way fearful of them.
