celtic fan here, love LA and california, but gotta admit that this year the western conference is really tough, we as celtics are really lucky because in EC we still have a bunch of crappy teams that we know we can beat them easily. meanwhile western conference's teams are much better in terms of depth and talent,
your real problem IMO is DH12, i'm quite sure playing with him is not easy, he likes to talk too much yet he still hasnt won anything in his career, i mean he's acting like he's kobe bryant, but kb8 has 5 rings...
"We have to play like we like each other. Even if we don't want to be friends off the court, whatever that may be, when we step in between the lines or we step in the locker room or the gym, we have to respect each other and what we bring to the table."
those are pretty strong words...

Final Wins: W-L record needed
45: 30-19
46: 31-18
47: 32-17
48: 33-16
49: 34-15
50: 35-14
IMO you wont make the playoffs
