I admit I don't have a great team and we are winning unthinkable games...but with a 10-7 record a 6th seed is pretty unfair....well I hope I'll survive in the playout
Schedule ahead is really tough for me, I expect to finish 12-10, not enough to make the POs

You must have been very lucky to get away with that win. I can't recall that I have seen a team loose with such dominant stats. Not even that you have crunch vs normal feels like reasonable explanation to your win.

Now it is final between us so let the best team win! I am certainly not taking anything for granted.

On the contrary!
Warriors statistics are better. Lakers lost 16 balls more (TO) and have 14 steals less (STL). That combined means approximately 30 attacks more. When you subtract 21 rebounds (where Lakers dominated) you can still see that Warriors have 9 attacks more. Approximately.
A bit of luck - of course, but dominant stats - no. Better ratings from Lakers players are the sign of better defense. And indeed if you look at FG% you can see that their defense was good.

.....Being honest.....HOW DID I WIN??? hehe

I am aware that Utopian has an infinite better roster than me. No discussion. Do they play better? If we look the ratings, they did.

I got a much better TO-Steals rating, and maybe I did a good reading before the game.

But it is even more unbelievable when I saw that my SF starter was injured after 6 minutes of the game!!!!

So, yes, absolutely, this was a really lucky game for me, unexpected but well worked in advance.

I am sorry for Utopian Lakers, he should be really pissed off.

I buy your arguments. Good thing that Warriors should not be able to so totally dominate me in TOs and steals to repeat a win like that. He still can hurt me though, and win, in other ways so I am certainly not feeling sure of winning. Lakers felt like a much tougher opponent before their loss yesterday but maybe that was a misconception.

It feels like I should be the clear favorites now but I am certainly not taking for granted that I will win the playoff. Both Warriors and the winner of Ultras and Bamberg are strong teams.

I wouldn't bet on you, sorry
Actually I wouldn't bet on anyone. I don't think there is a team with bigger advantage. Still, you have an advantage of home court so you should be in the best position.
It doesn't seem to be fair to say more. I am sure you guys are able to do your own analysis . And I sould make mine in order to survive in this league.

Thank you both! Will be a tough challenge to play in a higher division. No space for strengthening the team as my salary been too high for too long for that. I hope that the income is a bit higher in the highest division.
