NBA Twitter reacts to Lakers 0-3 start: ‘Lakers team is built worse than Kendrick Perkins’ carry on’
The Los Angeles Lakers remain winless to start the 2022-23 NBA season after losing yet another home game, this time to the Portland Trail Blazers (106-104) on Sunday afternoon.
The Lakers are one of two teams not to have won a single game this season, and the pressure from fans keeps mounting.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to Russell Westbrook’s poor decisions in crunch time and the Lakers losing a third straight game against Portland.
The LAKERS TEAM IS BUILT WORSE THAN KENDRICK PERKINS CARRY ON 😂😂

0-3 for the Lakers.
Westbrook’s pull-up J with 28 secs left up one as the entire arena yelped “NOOOOOOO!” was remarkable stuff.
Their late-game D was a travesty.
Pelicans have their pick.
Remember this was all Frank Vogel’s fault.

LEBRON: "I feel like this an interview to try to set me up to say something…You guys can write about Russ & all the things you guys want to try to talk about Russ. I'm not up here to do that. I won't do it. I've said it over & over. It's not who I am." pic.twitter.com/n1P0BpaMFh

The longer Pelinka waits to trade Russ, the bigger the distraction it becomes

I CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR SHANNON SHARPE SAY RUSSELL WESTBROOK DESERVES FAR MORE BLAME THAN LEBRON JAMES DOES FOR THE LAKERS BLOWING AN 8-POINT LEAD AT HOME TO PORTLAND WITH 4:42 LEFT.

LeBron just said reporters were trying to "set him up" to say something negative about Westbrook and that's "not who I am." LeBron knows full well he doesn't need to pile on – that the "GOAT" has the perfect scapegoat – Westbrick. Who missed the last shot? LeBron did.

Arguably the worst trade in Lakers history considering what we had and what’s at stake.
