Here in Los Angeles, we're headed to the playoffs on a good foot. We turned it on in the second half of the season, en route to a division win. There is some tough competition in the Western Conference, but if we can play like we have, we should at least get to the Conference Finals.

That's where it'll get tough. If we make it that far, our toughest time is probably going to come in the form of Chicago or Texas. Our hope is that when they face each other in the Semis, they beat up on each other so much that we can take advantage of a tired and beat up group. If we somehow make it past that round, we find ourselves against some Eastern powerhouses. It'll either be Hamilton, Buffalo, or Baltimore and each team brings it own problems. Once again, we're hoping they wear each other down and we can pick the carcass of what's left. Tall task for sure, but if we're going to win it all this season, We need the elite teams to knock each other around and come into our series at less than 100%. Good luck.
