Watch: Visibly Frustrated LeBron James Seen Complaining About Lakers 4th Quarter Lineup

The Los Angeles Lakers lost Game 1 of the second round and players were frustrated. Lakers superstar LeBron James couldn’t hide his emotions, and he was also seen complaining in the fourth quarter.

LA has to get over a 112-97 loss to James Harden and his teammates. King James was really angry and his frustration was caused by the Lakers lineup. Players were trying to come back from a six-point deficit, but their efforts disappeared in the air. The Rockets outscored them 27-18 and LA lost the first game of the Western Conference semifinals.

LeBron was frustrated with the spacing issues in connection with veteran Rajon Rondo on the floor. Rondo had more minutes after Alex Caruso’s foul issue.

LeBron James may not be complaining in Game 2

The three-time NBA champion is always trying to make his teammates better players. He can’t hide his disappointment every time they fail yo meet his expectations. LeBron has been a vocal presence in the NBA in the past 17 seasons and players listen to his words. Most of his teammates have had great success.

LeBron is really proud of his guys most of the time. But, situations like this make him cringe and he always speaks his mind. Someone made a mistake and LeBron talked about it. Loudly. Hopefully, this won’t happen again. LA has a title to win and LeBron is on his way to win his fourth title. His teams have made the NBA Finals nine times and won three championships. He snatched four NBA MVP awards on the way, and his leadership skills make him an impressive player.

LA plays Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinal series on Sunday night. It’s a tough series for LA and controlling James Harden won’t be easy. Former Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson warned his team of the mistakes they made. LeBron and his teammates need to take a different approach and stop treating Houston like they did with the Portland Trail Blazers. This was probably the biggest advice Johnson could give his former team. Is this really good advice? Frank Vogel will have to take this into consideration.
