Los Angeles Lakers fans are beginning to turn on LeBron James, amid the team's recent austerity. Some of those fans in particular are even breaking out the Kobe Bryant jerseys, again.

This isn't a good look, at all, for the entire organization in Los Angeles. At 30-34, James and the Lakers are currently on the outside looking in. The four-time MVP is on the brink of missing his first postseason in well over a decade.

The Lakers have fallen victim to three-straight losses, while performing as lifeless and lackadaisical as they could've possibly shown the entire year: From a double-digit loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, to an embarrassing effort against a feeble Phoenix Suns team on Saturday, and concluding with a devastating defeat against their local rivals in the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.

Needless to say, this team needs a turnaround in a hurry.

“You keep playing to the end and see what happens,” James told reporters. “I've been talking about it for a while now. Everyone has been talking about the postseason, (but) we should be worried about each and every game and how we can continue to get better with our process and get better with our team.”

James, 33, has averaged 27.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 8.0 assists – despite missing one of the lengthiest stretches of games in his career during January and early February.

Clearly if the Los Angeles Lakers miss the postseason, it's no mystery of who fans' scapegoat will be.
