The Lakers are still fighting to make the NBA playoffs, but LeBron James thinks the team should be aiming higher than just that.
After making his return from injury on Sunday during L.A.'s loss to the Bulls, James indicated that he's hopeful the Lakers can finish the season among the top six teams in the Western Conference.
Following Sunday's loss, the Lakers sit in the ninth seed in the West, though only 1.5 games separate them and the Warriors for sixth place in the conference. With just seven games left on the docket, James remains confident the Lakers can make a late push and avoid the play-in tournament.
