The Los Angeles Lakers are in trouble. The one-time Western Conference power house made several big acquisitions in the off-season raising expectations for a run at an NBA title. However, the team lost their first four games, fired their coach and have limped to a 9 and 13 record, including an embarrassing loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers last night.
