The Los Angeles Lakers are in a familiar position.
They find themselves down 0-2 against the Denver Nuggets and judging by the way the series has gone; some can’t help but feel like this series is over already.
Of course, they still have two chances to even things out at home, and there’s still a lot of basketball to be played.
However, if you’re LeBron James, you’re definitely not a happy man right now.
According to Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe, he should be to blame for his team’s loss.

Talking on his Nightcap show, he called out LeBron for not making the most of a game in which D’Angelo Russell finally came to play and gave him 23 points, adding that the Lakers have nobody else to blame but themselves for letting a 20-point lead slip away.
The Lakers were up double digits late in the third quarter.
They played 47 minutes of flawless basketball before they left the door wide open for the Nuggets to storm back in and take care of business.
That’s what championship-caliber teams do.
They rise up to the occasion under pressure and they dominate teams that are simply not built to win.
The Nuggets have beaten the Lakers ten consecutive times dating back to last season, and that includes six wins in the postseason.
That’s not something that’s easy to forget if you play for Darvin Ham’s team, and that’s the kind of thing that could torment them and haunt them every single time they face them.
