The NBA playoffs are not for everyone.
The lights are bright. The pressure is intense. The best players are on the floor for the vast majority of every game, leaving no opening for reprieve. Coaching staffs will pour over hours of film to find tiny cracks in the opponent’s game, and hammer and pound at that crack until it becomes a canyon. There is no hiding in the postseason; every player’s greatest strengths and crushing weaknesses are on full display for the world to see.
