As it stands, the Los Angeles Lakers are in a very bad position with their performances and the level of play they are showing. Their losses don’t bode well for their chances of winning the championship this season. Furthermore, LeBron James suffered an injury during a match that resulted in a heavy loss for the Lakers.
