The better team doesn't always win the game or series or championship. That's why there are these things in the sports world we like to call upsets. Winning the long drawn out regular season (assuming you have a decent schedule, not something like a college football fluff schedule, which really doesn't apply in pro sports) is more impressive than pulling to together a short winning streak in the playoffs.
Playoffs just gets the glory though.
