Los Angeles Lakers are having a disappointing season as they sit 9th in the Western Conference. LeBron James has been carrying the Lakers single-handedly this season without much support from others. However, many fans have criticized Lakers coach Frank Vogel for his decisions on the court. Now Vogel is under criticism once again after Kyle Kuzma fired shots at him.
The Lakers signed many top players during the off-season. However, many signings such as Russell Westbrook went bust this season. Apart from a failed roster overhaul, Lakers coach Frank Vogel has been named for the team’s poor performances this season.

Many fans and critics are not pleased with the way Vogel has handled the players in the past. Many former Lakers players, who were traded during the off-season, have been doing well for their respective teams. One such player is Kyle Kuzma, who has been in an insane form with the Wizards this season. He recently fired shots at Frank Vogel, who in turn was trolled on social media.

Damn. Vogel must be going insane this year because I'd rather have Kuzma making dumb mistakes than half the roster doing it.

This is how it goes with a young player on a team with championship expectations. Leash is considerably shorter https://t.co/WLhI0uCtn3

The Lakers, however, are in the play-in spot, but it isn’t guaranteed. They have some important fixtures coming up and will need to hold on if they plan on making it to the playoffs.
