The Los Angeles Lakers continued to embarrass their fans even early in the morning (Thursday) when they suffered a fourth loss in a row, plunging to a 4:0 record when they surrendered 110:99 against Nikola Jokic's Denver.
The last time the Lakers started a season with 4:0, it happened in the 2015/16 season - the last season of Kobe Bryant's career.
Then the Purples finished with a disgraceful record of 17 wins against 65 losses.

In fact, 20 years have passed since LeBron James' rookie season in Cleveland when the King opened the season with the same negative record of 4:0.
Be that as it may, in tonight's game the maligned Russell Westbrook was absent due to a minor injury, but LeBron was unable to shine even without him, when he recorded 8 turnovers along with 19 points, which were of no use at all.

The Lakers, who this morning were only 8 of 30 from outside the arc, and since the beginning of the season have scored only 33 of 148 from three (22.3%), know that in the current form it will be difficult to continue.
"We have to start scoring some shots in order to start thinking about victories," said LeBron James at the end, "I think we are among the best defensive teams in the league. But we are very weak on offense, that is our biggest problem. We are now at the bottom of the bottom."

Anthony Davis also tried to explain how to get out of the dirty business: "We have to look only at ourselves. All we have to do is win once. This will be the first step to get out of our unpleasant situation."

Either way, Nikola Jokic, who excelled with 31 points and 13 rebounds, adding nine assists and four steals, was not impressed by the Lakers' bad start and LeBron: "James is the best player on the planet. I always like competing against the best Good to have..".
