There is a differnce agreed. But all the teams who make the playoffs will be at the same playoff level as they are at the same regular season level. There are always players who can bring more to their teams such as Garnett ifor the Celtics but that is i;m assuming a hidden skill in this game and is not a team thing in real life.
You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.
