FS1 analyst Skip Bayless mocks LeBron James yet again, as the Lakers struggle against Luka Doncic and the Mavericks

The Los Angeles Lakers are not in a good spot this season. After almost reshaping their entire roster this offseason, they have been struggling all season long. Despite adding a third star in Russell Westbrook, it seems like LeBron James and the Lakers are getting no benefit of the same. Anthony Davis has missed a lot of games this season due to injuries, and that has certainly been hurting the Lakers.

After the humiliating loss against the Pelicans at home, it looked like the Lakers were going to lose again tonight. Luka Doncic and co. built a lead as large as 21 points, but the Lakers managed to come alive in the 3rd and take a 2-point lead. Before the Lakers pulled a comeback, Skip Bayless had already launched a barrage of tweets about LeBron James and his teammates.

The Los Angeles Lakers are currently on the 9th spot in the West, sitting with a 27-33 record. They are just 2.5 games ahead of the 10th and 11th seeded Pelicans and Trailblazers. If the Lakers were to lose this contest tonight, it just puts the Pelicans and Trailblazers in a better position to take the 9th and 10th spots.

Skip Bayless talked about the same, as he took it to Twitter to mock LeBron James and the Lakers again.

This wasn’t the only tweet Skip put out. He also talked about how Russ and LeBron kept asking for fouls in the first half.

After their 21+ point comeback, the Lakers should not lose this one now. They hold a 2-point lead over the Mavericks as they head into the 4th.
