[Every year I try to catch at least one NBA game when in Los Angeles. Often I get to see a great team. Sadly, on this spring’s trip the Clippers will be out of town so I’m forced to watch the Lakers. I used to be a Minneapolis Lakers fan as a lanky boy growing up in the City of Lakes. Then they moved to LA where there are no lakes, ripping out my heart. They are 23-34 and not really as good as their record indicates. So time to share some well-natured (and old) barbs at the team. Feel free to use these, plugging in the name of your favorite team to hate instead of mine.]
