Live discussion: Can it get any worse for the Lakers?

Join our live Google+ Hangout today at 11:30 a.m. when Times Lakers writer Mike Bresnahan and Clippers reporter Brad Turner discuss their respective teams.

The Lakers’ decline continued Tuesday night with a loss to the woeful Cleveland Cavaliers. As Bresnahan wrote,

“They tumbled to 12th in the Western Conference — 12th? 12th! — after losing to a team that was 4-17. They’ve lost three straight and five of six and are 9-13, two games behind Denver for the suddenly coveted eighth spot in the West, though they’d have to fight through Minnesota, Houston and Portland to get there.

“But, hey, who’s counting?

“There are really only two things the Lakers can do at this point because nothing else is working.

“Wait for Pau Gasol and Steve Nash to return. And, hope they improve dramatically.

“The stats were all too familiar from their other losses, almost too mundane to go over again: 19 turnovers, 41.3% shooting, 62.5% free-throw accuracy.

“We’re sick of losing,” Dwight Howard said. Kobe Bryant one-upped him, calling it one of the most baffling stretches of his career.”

If you have a question for Bresnahan or Turner, send it in an email to sportshangout@latimes.com and we will try to answer it during the show.
