Oh, sure. I get it, and I generally agree that championships require an element of psychological fortitude. But what I take issue with is the opposite—that when players talk about "just making the playoffs" this is some sort of indication of failure. Plenty of players have said things just like this and gone on to win championships.

Psychology is interesting that way.
