The Los Angeles Lakers fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves Monday night, 124-120. To no surprise, Lakers superstar LeBron James seems to be in a grumpy mood after the loss.

James continued on.
LeBron: "We gotta get better. We know that. We talk about patience, but we can't have recurrence of the same thing. Doing the same things over & over & over again & expecting a different result. That's insanity. We have to cont to get better. We cont to have the same mistakes."

A lot of Cleveland Cavaliers fans know what this means when James gets impatient with his team.
The Lakers have shown plenty of promise the past couple of games, but frustrating losses at San Antonio and at Minnesota seem to have gotten to James.
It will be interesting to see how the team and the front office (if they do at all) respond to LeBron James' comments if they do.
The Lakers do have a couple of tough games ahead and James' patience could be running thin. The Lakers play at home against the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday. They then play against the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday. Then on the back-to-back, they play the Toronto Raptors Sunday at home.
It isn't known yet if Raptors superstar Kawhi Leonard will play that night, as he has been resting a couple of games to start the season. If Leonard is out, that would be a huge break for the Lakers.
James finished with 29 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, five turnovers, two blocks, and two steals. He shot 47.8 percent from the field and 50 percent from three-point range. The next highest scorer for the Lakers was Brandon Ingram who had 24 points.
The team as a whole shot 47.1 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from three-point range.
With a tough next couple of games ahead on their schedule, it will be interesting to see how the players react after LeBron James' comments.
It will be a storyline to follow.
