But time is not provided much resolution.

The Clippers will always regret the way last season crumbled their championship expectations, ending with an epic collapse against the Denver Nuggets.

There is no changing that results.

The Clippers will go home.

This is a collapse they'll think about all summer.

There is, however, plenty that has changed about the Clippers.

Coach Doc Rivers is in Philadelphia, having been replaced by his top assistant, Tyronn Lue, sixth Man of the Year mantra.

Harold is the Lakers.

Serge Ibaka is a Clipper.

There has been talk of more accountability and better chemistry, but after the way the Clippers fell short last season, that talk is cheap.

It does leave a bad taste in my mouth, blowing a 31 lead, but is the things that build the player you know the world of going to a championship is hard.

The expectations remain high.

Anything less than a championship would be.

Another disappointing question is, well, last season's disappointment.

Teach them or break them.

Ramona thank you Clippers, hoping their 51st season will be the first where they make it to the conference finals, something that they've still never done.

Caesar's William Hill giving now the Clippers the fourth best title odds and second best odds to make the finals out of the West behind only the reigning champion Lakers.

Kendrick Perkins joining us now looking all festive sitting by the tree.

A park.

The Clippers were one of the last season's biggest disappointments man, but they bring back most of their core this season.

What are your expectations for this team in 2021?

Well, the Clippers got the same expectations as the Lakers, long as they have Paul George and Kawhi Leonard is championship of bus.

Listen, you got rid of your championship culture and Doc Rivers and you wanted T loop, which I believe was the players hiring.

And I got 200 plus reasons Why 200 million plus reasons why and now you've got the coach that you wanted.

I'm talking about Paul George, and now it's no excuses and God knows, don't let Kawhi Leonard don't sign the extension in a couple of weeks and he goes and have to play this season out with a player option on the back end to me right now, the Clippers are in a must win situation in this championship of bus.

Are you mentioned Kuai?

He was a new face in a new place a season ago.

We have a fume, or of those to look forward to this season, including Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul, along with Kevin Durant's long anticipated debut with the Nets.

So, sir, which player are you most looking forward to seeing debut with his new team?

Well, I'll tell you what.

Jay is not a household name, but it's a guy that is very well known around around with his peers in the n B A.

And that's Drew holiday with the Milwaukee Bucks.

I thought that was the best offseason addition in the league.

Drew Holiday is one of the better to wait.

Guys in the NBA.

He's a guy on the offensive end that could give you 20 to 25 points tonight.

He's a hell of a rebounder.

Ah, hell of assist guy.

He's ableto facilitate for others on the defensive end.

He's a lock down defender, especially at the garden wing position.

So I think with Milwaukee adding them, they finally got a big three and the guy that they could go two down the stretch.

They could close games.
