Even though the demonstration does not promise too many things, I would not like to take the regular season performance a 100% accurate indicator. I believe a deep squad full of hungry players for success can achieve great things in post season.
For example, the Blazers werre the 5th seed during 2014 playoffs and their matchup Rockets were 4th seed. Rockets led the season series against them 3-1. But they have lost the playoff series 4-2. These things can always happen. I am not saying Blazers competed for the ring that season but it is the unforeseen consequence of differring motivation levels and focus of the teams in playoffs, accompanied by their level of fatigue.
So always expect surprising performances from young, deep and hungry rosters.
I post, therefore I am.
