That, and a Sutter to will them through to greatness.

Legitimately nothing to say that can't be Elliott and Gulutzan.
This team is improved under Gulutzan, and Elliott is trending in the exact right direction to make a huge performance in the playoffs possible.
I'm not saying that's what is going to happen, but to categorise this team as a Cinderella team and say the 2012 LA wasn't is nonsense. Maybe this team makes some noise, maybe they don't, but they're competitive and stand as good of a chance of making it past the second round as most of the teams in the West. They stack up very well against a few teams ahead of them. What happens after that? Who knows.
