A mediocre team with an aging, injured star gets 29 nationally televised games?

That's too bad. The NBA could be promoting better, more interesting teams instead of an old, decaying team but I guess that's how they do business.

lol...bitter mutha fcuka

NEWSFLASH: A lot of people like the Lakers. Not really that complicated.

Wow, thanks for the information asswipe. No shit they're popular. 29 nationally televised games is an enormous amount. I don't feel a mediocre team, as popular as they may be, deserves that total. If you cut that in half I'd be Ok with it.

Who gives a shit if they're the Lakers. That's just a name right now. The product isn't very good and that's what should be important.

people will still pay to watch them...rather then up & coming team...

Deserve has nothing to do with it. Its about cash. Always.

I'm glad you'd be ok with that. Apparently the powers that be didn't bother to check with you first though.

The Lakers are always important.

Well, I guess true basketball fans who appreciate good basketball will sadly have to suffer because the Lakers are obviously a poor product that is spiraling downwards.
