Lakers-Clippers Open Thread

Steve Nash's injured right shin means the Lakers will roll with Steve Blake, Chris Duhon and maybe even a little Darius Morris against the Clippers this evening. That's pretty much the only update of relevance I can give you. The Lakers are still 0-2, and this Clips team is by far the best they've faced this season. Are the Lakers ready to start competing? Or will they use the Nash injury as an excuse to carry on with their "It's still early, things will get better in the future, seriously we promise" rhetoric?

We're about to find out. Enjoy the game, everyone.
