The Los Angeles Lakers have lost three games in a row and sit a season-worst 27-34. Anthony Davis is weeks away from returning. Yet, LeBron James isn’t quite ready to throw in the towel. Even if he feels like — in his words – “poop.” LeBron and the Lakers fell to the Dallas Mavericks, 109-104, […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ embarrassment tour continued yesterday night at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks. Although LA only lost by a score of 109-104, their abysmal first-half effort put them in a hole as big as 21 points on their home turf.
