&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Join us today at 11:30 a.m. when Times Lakers writer Mike Bresnahan and Clippers writer Brad Turner will discuss the Lakers and Clippers in a live Google+ Hangout.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Among the topics that could be covered:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Lakers are raring to go this season, with the addition of Dwight Howard and Steve Nash. Plus, they will have a new offense. As Lakers Coach Mike Brown told Bresnahan &amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/lakers/la-sp-lakers-20121008,0,3146966.story”&amp;gt;earlier this week&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, when asked about who the focal point of the offense will be:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;”All these guys are good guys and I truly believe they all want to win a championship,” Brown said. “If they do, they’ll figure out ways to sacrifice a little bit but not giving up their aggressive styles.”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;What’s the name of the offense, which was devised by Brown and assistant Eddie Jordan?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;”At the end of the year, if we’re in the top five offensively, we’ll call it Brown’s offense,” Brown said. “If we’re in the bottom five, we’ll call it Jordan’s offense.”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Meanwhile, as Turner &amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-clippers-del-negro-20120927,0,5889088.story”&amp;gt;wrote last week&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;,&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;”The &amp;lt;a class=”taxInlineTagLink” href=”https://www.latimes.com/topic/sports/basketball/los-angeles-clippers-ORSPT000103.topic”&amp;gt;Clippers&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;’ playoff run last spring and their busy off-season of stockpiling talent simply increased the pressure on them to be successful this season.”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If you have a question for Mike or Brad, send an email to sportshangout@latimes.com and we will try to answer it on the air.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
