NBA Twitter reacts to Lakers getting destroyed by Dallas Mavericks
Just 48 hours after losing a game of extreme importance against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Los Angeles Lakers got dismantled by the Dallas Mavericks, 128-110.
L.A. was without LeBron James, who sustained a sprained ankle on Sunday, but its lack of effort and fight on the defensive end was simply inexcusable.
With this loss, the Lakers are now tied with the San Antonio Spurs for the 10th-best record in the Western Conference, but the Spurs hold the tiebreaker, meaning that if the season ended today, L.A. would not even be in the play-in tournament.
Across Twitter, the NBA community continued to show utter dismay and disrespect towards a Lakers team that is rapidly plunging towards the bottom.
No, there's no LeBron, no AD. But do the rest of the Lakers have no pride??? They just gave up 82 in the first half at Dallas – 2nd most points allowed in a first half IN LAKERS HISTORY. Fakers!

Just an AWFUL decision from TNT to not have Bucks/Sixers as the first game on national TV. This idiotic fascination with the Lakers. It’s pathetic. ITS OVER!!! The league has changed. They don’t have it right now. LET IT GO!!!
