If I manage to win the league this year, it will be mostly luck. I have home court advantage and the easiest path to the finals not be wise I have a superior team (I don't) but because the balance of the conferences put me in a much easier spot.
As has been pointed out somewhere in this thread, my team has some serious weaknesses. My arena is small, one of the smallest in the league. I also have two starters who are about to age out. I do have 3 trainees coming up to fill that void, but they are still a season away at least
