It's nice to amass a lot of wins in the regular season but the real test is the playoffs. That's when you have to go through the meatgrinder of playing all the best teams. A lot of bad teams can't expose flaws the way the teams in the playoffs more typically can. On top of that, teams raise their level of play in the playoffs. It's more intense. Sometimes going 10-6 can better prepare you for the crucible of the playoffs.
