Butler has really done well with Kamloops, and I'm happy for him. I'm really impressed that Kamloops is challenging Vancouver for the division lead after the halfway point in the season. The Giants were supposed to run away with the division title this season, but that hasn't happened (at least, not yet).

Wouldn't it be something, if the Blazers were to win the B.C. Division, after Vancouver stocked up on top players? I still think that the Giants are the team to beat in the B.C. Division this season, but I wonder how would they respond in the playoffs if they *do* lose the division even (and especially) after making the big trades? Hmmm...

Not sure but who knows.

But I do think you are forgetting that the Blazers are only 5 points back of the Tips, and are in fact not only challenging for the BC Crown but the Western Conference Crown and the Overall league title as well.

And it looks like the Blazers may just have the team to do it.

All 3 teams in the west have a shot at the WCC, it should be interesting to see who comes out on top.
