The Los Angeles Lakers have had a rough season so far. Failing to find a rhythm, luck has not been on their side. However, the one major positive for the purple and gold is the way LeBron James is playing. The 37-year-old is playing at an MVP level and has not let his age get in the way. However, fans were not happy with some of his actions in the recent loss to the Indiana Pacers.

LeBron James makes Laker fans angry

The Lakers blew yet another double-digit lead in their loss to the Pacers. After winning the first quarter, the purple and gold outfit did not take a single quarter. LeBron put on a great fight. However, on one of the possessions, he was seen giving the Pacers bench some tips. Likewise, the Laker fans did not like it.

Like many other times this season, James was the only pick of the players once again. His consistency this season has been unreal. However, with injuries looming over the Lake show, the King does not have the ideal supporting cast around him. Hence, the Lakers have come up short on multiple occasions this season.

The purple and gold team came out strong, taking a 14 point lead at one point. But things started going downhill from there. Despite all that, they had the lead to in the fourth quarter. However, Pacers’ Caris LeVert stole the show as he scored 22 of his 30 points in the final quarter alone.

LeBron James had yet another 20 point game in the losing effort against Indiana. The defense has been a big worry for the Lakers, and that hurt them against the Pacers. Lacking size, Indiana dominated the paint and scored on a regular note. From there, LeVert took over in crunch time and gave the Pacers an emphatic win. With so many problems, the Lake show needs to make some big moves before the trade deadline.
