Is LA gonna be a winning sports town again?

Dodgers are causing a wild storm by winning at a crazy rate

Sparks look good heading to the playoffs

Lakers are gonna start winning again

I would say only the Galaxy are on there down hill.

Just since Jan. 1, 2010:

The Lakers won a championship.

The Dodgers have made a slew of postseason appearances and are about to win their 5th straight division title.

The Kings have won 2 Stanley Cups.

The Galaxy have won 2 MLS Cups.

The Sparks have won a WNBA title.

UCLA is tied for 1st all-time for most NCAA titles won, with USC 3rd. (OK, that's from before 2010, but still.)

I think we're doing OK. If you want to include the Angels and Ducks, there's a whole bunch of division titles in a row for the Ducks, and the Angels made a playoff appearance in '14.

Notice that I don't include the Clippers. No self-respecting Laker fan would.

Only Dodgers at this point.
Nobody cares about the WNBA around here.
Lakers won't be winning for another couple of seasons.
Clippers are going downhill.
Rams and Chargers well....they are both fighting for LA....

Well if Winning means having more wins than losses, lets have a look:

2017-2018 Lakers: Under .500

2017-2018 Clipper: Slightly above .500

2017 Rams: Under .500

2017 Chargers: Under .500

2017 Dodgers: Over .700

2017 Angels: Slightly above .500

2017 Kings: Slightly over .500

2017 Ducks: Over .500

Out of (8) professional Teams:

* Three Teams will definitely NOT win more games than they lose (Lakers, Rams, & Chargers).

* Three Teams will win slightly more games than they lose (Clippers, Kings & Angles).

* Two Teams will win quite a bit more than they lose (Dodgers & Ducks)

If the above happens, will it be enough to constitute "WINNING"?

The San Diego teams need to go. They never win anything. The Clippers, Chargers and Padres (who fortunately are still in San Diego) have zero championships combined.
