The Los Angeles Lakers seem to be in a bit of a slump. With an 0-4 start to the season, everyone has their eyes on ?The King? and his Lakers team. Losing four straight games in the early season is not how any team wants to start. And with players like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook on the team, it tends to draw more attention. If things remain the same, it will definitely be a tough year for Lakers fans.

NBA fans, analysts, and even legends have given their two cents on the Lakers’ current situation. Two things are absolutely an area of concern. The Lakers? shooting from beyond the arc, and their point guard Russell Westbrook.?

Some problem areas for LeBron James and the Lakers

The Lakers have been absolutely horrendous from the three-point line. It seems as if they can?t make threes to save their lives. For the first three games of the season, the Lakers were 25-118 from deep.

And the second area of concern is point guard Russell Westbrook. Saying that Westbrook has not been at his best game would be an understatement. His poor shooting and shot selection ended up costing the Lakers a win against the Portland Trail Blazers the other night.

Recently, Magic Johnson took to Twitter and said, ?I?m agonizing over the Lakers play, the lack of shooting, and the 0-4 record. If my Lakers don?t start shooting better, this could be a longgg season for us Laker fans.?

 

True, the Lakers are struggling to make those long shots. Everyone knows that. But fans had a different take on what Johnson had to say. One fan tweeted, ?We all love the Lakers, but current management is just trash, especially with Bron and AD on it. There will be no other stars want to be here. Reputation is fragile, once destroyed, hard to restore.?

While another fan tweeted, ?I see why you quit as president. Something is off with the decision making process. Doesn?t seem to be one clear vision for the team. Just my take on it.?
