The Los Angeles Lakers are somewhat falling lately and Kobe Bryant is not happy about it. Though his reactions were not really expressive, there is no question that the Lakers star is pretty much annoyed and disturbed after his team lost to the Oklahoma Thunder, 120-106.

The loss was the Lakers 5th in a row. Worse, if they continue to lose their games, the Lakers are in danger of falling to the fourth seed in the Western Conference.

Coach Phil Jackson said he was surprised at the team’s fortunes while Bryant himself was not at all pleased. In fact, Kobe isolated himself after the game at the trainer’s room and quietly returned to the locker room.

Apparently Kobe was pretty much displeased and tried to hold back his dismay at the current state of the Lakers. However, his post game interview showed how much he is affected by the misfortunes of the Lakers where he eventually admitted he was angry in a silent type of way.

But despite all these problems, fans and critics believe that the Lakers will still correct their problems in time as the playoffs near. And hopefully they do since they have a lot of teams to contend with who are in the same way leaving little room for error.

"I think we started to look ahead and look above instead of staying in the present," Derek Fisher said. "This one is tough for us because we were playing so well. This is coming at a bad time for us."
