00:00LeBron James already facing backlash from Los Angeles Lakers fans for not cheering on teammates while on the bench.

00:07Lakers fans already seem fed up with LeBron James antics.

00:11On Tuesday night, the Lakers open the season at home against the Golden State Warriors.

00:16Unfortunately for the Lakers, LeBron will be sidelined for the next month with a lower back injury.

00:22During the game, LeBron did not show much emotion and rarely spoke to anyone on the bench.

00:26The Lakers fans were not happy with LeBron's body language in the team's opening game of the season.

00:33I'm not a body language doctor by profession and this is just one man's observation.

00:38LeBron was disconnected all night, not interacting with the team, coaches, or what was taking place on the court all game.

00:44Don't kill the messenger, just reporting what I saw, commented one fan.

00:49If that's the energy LeBron is going to have on the bench, he should just stay home till he's healthy.

00:53Not good for the rest of the guys to look over on the bench and see him pissed off scowling for three hours, said another Lakers fan.

01:01While fans are turning on LeBron, Lakers head coach J.J. Redick spoke about why the team missed their star versus the Warriors.

01:08It's hard to forget about LeBron.

01:11The reality is, when you're focused on the group that you have, you've got to make that group work.

01:15I'll be honest with you, I did have one moment in that first half when we had a few possessions we couldn't score against the zone.

01:22It'd be great to have LeBron just to throw it to in the high post.
