NBA Twitter goes bizarre as Lakers fans go after Rob Pelinka and demand that Lebron James be given…
The LA Lakers’ season has been something of a rollercoaster already, but they’re on a downward spiral again following the injury to Anthony Davis.
Without Davis, LeBron James alone isn’t enough for the team and he looked frustrated during the Lakers’ 124-115 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day.
Most LA Lakers fans are happy with LeBron James and feel sorry for him. Nobody is making him out to be the scapegoat.
“LeBron deserves better,” was one message that appeared on social media on Christmas day, from fan account Lakers Lead.

Rather, it’s general manager Rob Pelinka who is being blamed for the terrible situation that the California franchise finds itself in.
NBA Twitter goes bizarre as Lakers fans go after Rob Pelinka and demand that Lebron James be given…
“I can’t believe we have to go through another like four months of this shit, then wait another few months just to see how Pelinka can screw this up again,” said one fan.
I can't believe we have to go through another like four months of this shit, then wait another few months just to see how Pelinka can screw this up again. This is about as hopeless as I've felt about this organization in a long time.

“I want Rob Pelinka tried for war crimes,” was another, more extreme, reaction.

Finally, one other fan compared Pelinka to the Grinch, for the way the performance ruined LA Lakers fans’ Christmas cheer.
The Lakers just -30’d a quarter and LeBron is still +2 for the game.
Rob Pelinka is the freaking Grinch.
