The Los Angeles Lakers are in serious trouble after an 0-5 start to the season. The schedule isn’t going to get any easier in the immediate future, with games against the Grizzlies, Warriors and Spurs in the next 11 days.

Kobe Bryant is averaging 27.6 points per game in those five losses – the second best average in the league behind Klay Thompson, who torched the Lakers for 41 points – but Bryant has been taking an insane amount of shots to score those points. Bryant went 14-of-37 against the Suns Tuesday, bringing his season field-goal percentage to 40.2. Bryant has attempted 122 shots this year and missed 73 of them.
