But that is the point, you are not serious or trying to have a serious discussion. What you perceive as "valuable postseason experience" isn't what I perceive it as. Problem is you think its valuable to get thrashed and swept while I don't see the same value there as they get the similar input vs. top teams in the regular season.
This is why for me and many others, getting into the playoffs just to get in, isn't essential. Is it a bonus yes, but is it a live or die for moment in terms of player development, no.
