James: Seed rankings are not important in the playoffs, and the Pacers are closing the gap at the moment

May 28th, today, Lakers forward James' podcast program "The Brain of the Field" aired in the eighth episode of the second season, and James and home guest Nash talked about many topics.

Regarding the playoffs, the way to call the game increases the competitiveness, James said: "Of course, you completely rule out the influence of seed rankings, and the two teams go back and forth. Of course, the first round of the series is extremely challenging for No. 8 seed teams or lower seed teams, unless you have a team that is no different from the regular season or the playoffs. If I have stronger confrontation and athleticism and I have reliable players, then the seed rankings are not important. We are now seeing the Pacers closing the gap, and they are currently eliminating the gap in the series. That is also a by-product of it."
