the playoffs are a whole different animal than the regular season, i dont think i need to tell anyone that. teams are lightyears more comfortable losing games in regular season VS playoffs, which is a big part of the reason warriors had that record, not really because the NBA doesnt have enough talent
sucks that it happened this way, though, because we'll have to go through a decade of hearing how, "this warriors team is the best/2nd best squad in NBA history"
