No matter where you live, what team you root for, and even if you spent a lifetime hating the Los Angeles Lakers for winning championships at the expense of your hometown team, it is hard not to feel pity for
the once-proud Lakers organization. That is, if you are not laughing at them, like most of the media is
doing right now.
The team suffered a 49 point loss to a bad Dallas Mavericks team Sunday afternoon, the most lopsided defeat in team history. It was not just that they lost for the third time this season to the Mavericks, who, aside from beating the Lakers, have won only 12 other games all year.
