Having finished the 2019-20 season in a painfully disappointing way, the Los Angeles Clippers are coming back with a new lineup and a new coach to take on the championship again.

Paul George, who was under heavy criticism during the off-season, could not be any hotter behind the triple line, and Kawhi Leonard has been consistent and efficient as always.
But weren't the Clippers like that in the regular season last time? How convinced are we that they are any better now?
