What kind of ridicule would a modern player receive if he lost in 8/9 Finals?

[La Frescobaldi]

thread's about West, not Wilt, Wilt catches plenty hell
and both were on loaded teams replete with HOF talent also, that's why they played in so many Finals to begin with.

poor excuse, they just weren't good enough
they were playing like one series to get to the Final if I'm reading bball reference correctly

sorry 1 of 9 is a failure no matter how anyone tries to spin it

Exactly what Laker squad are we talking about that was "replete with HOF talent?"

What Hall of Famer did the Logo play with throughout his entire career except Elgin Baylor who literally busted his kneecap in '65?
Rookie Gail Goodrich who played like 12 or 14 minutes a game before he got forced off to an expansion team ?

vs. for example the '65 Boston Celtics:

17 John Havlicek Hall of Fame
15 Tom Heinsohn Hall of Fame
25 K.C. Jones Hall of Fame
24 Sam Jones Hall of Fame
18 Jim Loscutoff
34 Clyde Lovellette Hall of Fame
21 Johnny McCarthy
12 Willie Naulls
23 Frank Ramsey Hall of Fame
6 Bill Russell C Hall of Fame
16 Tom Sanders Hall of Fame
20 Larry Siegfried

????????????????
I ask you.
