Lakers

I do not understand why everyone is saying the Lakers are having a bad year and their defense is terrible this year.  They are 33-14 and are giving up fewer points a game than they have the last two years when they won the Championship. Someone please explain this to me!

Intro

My name is Anthony Lamendola and I am a sophomore Sport Management major at Slippery Rock University. I would like to eventually get a job working for a professional sports team in the U.S. I am a huge sports fan especially of football, basketball, hockey, and baseball.  My favorite sports team is the Pittsburgh Penguins but I also like the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pitt Panthers, and North Carolina Tar Heels. I also enjoy playing sports such as basketball, football, baseball, hockey, and golf.
