2011 Playoff summaries

[Mike G]

Zach Randolph currently has the 5th highest career playoff Win Shares per minute rate, of anyone in NBA/ABA history with as many as 300 playoff minutes. Only Jordan, Mikan, LeBron, and Bobby Wanzer are higher.

From the link, see that in one game, Zach has dropped to #10.
Barely ahead of Wilt Chamberlain.

That's everyone in the 4500+ group.
Apparently, winners tend to get playoff minutes.

Man, Dirk is pretty remarkable

[J.E.]

Sportsbook.com has the Lakers at +200, Mavericks at +350 for winning the championship. With Dallas up 2-0 the Lakers pick seems like burning money. Maybe they think the Lakers have a better chance against whoever makes it out of the east, but still. Memphis at +2000. 1:20 seems weird for a team that is now 60-80% to reach the conference finals.

I think we get a Heat vs Mavericks finals. Let's hope it won't be as controversial as the last time

Sportsbook.com has the Lakers at +200,...

'Lakers at +200' what?

[J.E.]

Sportsbook.com has the Lakers at +200,...

'Lakers at +200' what?

You would have gotten 200$ if you bet 105$ then and they actually won the whole thing. You get 2000$ if you bet 105 on Memphis and they win.

It's 400 for Dallas, and 600 for LA now. Boston at 1800...

Before the first round is truly distant history, here are overachievers from that era. Relative to their regular seasons.
Same format as 'most improved' for the season, except that players' playoff rates (e480) are multiplied by 1.175, to zero out the net improvement (in total eWins).
In other words, in the first round the average player's win production is 17.5% less than in the season, due to better than average competition.
Ranked by suspected wins added, above and beyond expectations.

The biggest disappointers are at bottom.
Of these 19, 6 were on round1 winners; only JJ Barea has reversed his fortunes so far in round 2.
I also count 12 of 20 overachievers (but 8 of top 10) moving on.
Several players who were traded midseason are here, with season stats from their latest team.

Finally getting into the postseason after 484 games, Okafor lands solidly at the bottom of this list. His RS Blk% of 4.6 was just 2.6 in playoffs. His PER of 16.0 dropped to 9.3; WS/48 from .136 to .016

From twitter:

haralabob: #mavs now 10-0 against the spread in this playoffs.
