Live discussion: Lakers, Clippers and the NBA playoffs

Join Times Lakers writer Mike Bresnahan and NBA editor Barry Stavro today at 11:30 a.m. for a live video discussion of the Lakers’ and Clippers’ NBA playoff hopes.

The Lakers are down, 1-0, to the San Antonio Spurs, with Game 2 taking place tonight.

As Bresnahan wrote Tuesday,

“There’s one big, blistering question facing the Lakers.

“So, uh, who’s going to score for you guys?

“In three games without Kobe Bryant, the Lakers have shot 37.9% and averaged 89.7 points, the latter stat padded by nine points in overtime against Houston last week.

“They shot and shot and missed and missed in their playoff opener against San Antonio. They need to find someone besides Dwight Howard to make something happen Wednesday in Game 2.

“There are some doubters.

“They can’t,” TNT analyst Kenny Smith said. “They can’t. It’s not enough.”

You will be able to submit questions for Bresnahan and Stavro to answer during the show.
