Lakers have a 7-6 record going into their game against the Trail Blazers, whom they beat 114-110 just over a week ago.
At one stage, the Lakers were 2-5, with serious questions asked of head coach Luke Walton and whether he is the right man for the job.
But Walton has managed to steady the ship and James is finding his feet after a stuttering start.
While Golden State are still favourites to retain the NBA title, James thinks the Lakers are improving.
“I’m not one to put a cap on how many games we need to see what we are,” James said.
“We want to just try and get better every single month.
“I believe we are better here in November than we were in October.
“If we continue on this trend then we will be where we want to be.”
James admitted the first few weeks had been a bit of a struggle.
He added: “I haven’t changed anything outwardly, but you know me.
“I almost cracked [last week]. I had to sit back and remind myself, ‘You knew what you were getting yourself into.’
“This process has been good for me. I just have to continue being patient.”
