A number of the region 7 games from several weeks ago were played underwater and/or severely rain shortened. This may explain some lower scoring victories by WA.

You're absolutely right. The playoffs are everything. Statistics give us an impression of order in the middle of the season. As Mark Twain said "There are three kinds of lies. Lies, damned lies, and statistics." Good luck to you and your team in the playoffs.
