Ralph Lawler has been the Clippers play-by-play man since 1978 -- when the Clippers were based in San Diego -- and he joins the show as he prepares for his 36th season.

Thursday night the Los Angeles Clippers open their season against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

And for the first time since they've been in L.A., the Clippers will be playing under an owner not named Donald Sterling.
