"Now is the moment for what all worked during the regular season. Some do not call it 'postseason' or 'playoffs', they refer to this moment as the 'season'.

The team is ready to begin the struggle to defend the title, we know that is not going to be easy and we will have to overcome various adverse situations, but we are confident in the quality and experience of our team.

We are very excited to have finally Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum back with the team, their injuries have noticed a lot during the final stretch of the regular season and were they have been recovered in the key moment. Injuries can be a decisive factor. If we can keep away from them we will have many options to get what we want: to win the championship again!

The first team we will face will not be easy. The Oklahoma City Thunder are very talented and have played at a high level throughout the year. His reference player is Kevin Durant, and will be a challenge to stop them, because we know that will require all the team to help Ron Artest, that will defend him. But for me the key player to stop is the guard Russell Westbrook, and if we are able to limit his insights and ability to create for his teammates, we will have a lot done.

This Sunday begins the series, will be tough and exciting, so I hope you enjoy it and don't miss any game!

A big hug and talk to you soon."
