LA is a strange place, so many things to do out there, so many transplants from all over the US and the rest of the world that they don't really bond to anything in huge numbers. NFL football is probably the most popular cultural thing going in America, as soccer is in Europe and South America, as hockey is in Canada, and the second largest city in the country has no team and couldn't care less.
If the Lakers sucked, which they do now and probably will for quite some time, I'm sure half their fanbase will jump off the bandwagon and find something else to do until the next Kobe or Magic comes to town.
