Clark not coming back til next season.

Don't know the mean, median or mode measure of center here but seems like a longer than typical absence.

In their last few games, Collier relaxed or slumped a bit while Wilson really poured it on.

Top 5 in league, 6-1 to 6-5. No listed guards. Changes after that but not in the very top.

Playoff time.
Disclaimers: First pass, 1st round, I'm not scaling player Sco and Reb to their individual series but to the whole WNBA playoff field.
With that and no source of team rebounds and turnovers, I'm simply adjusting eW/400 minutes to align with team pt-diff.

Updated final rankings for the 1st round.
I've taken the liberty of adjusting PER and WS to make them average 15.0 and .100 for each series. Otherwise PER goes way high or low, depending on offensive dominance. Win Shares were short of the number of games in every series.

Code: Select all

tm    PER   WS/48     tm    PER   WS/48
Ind   14.1   .116     Min   19.7   .205
Atl   13.2   .066     GSV   12.4  -.031
avg   13.6   .091     avg   16.0   .087

tm    PER   WS/48     tm    PER   WS/48
LVA   19.8   .162     Phx   14.7   .164
Sea   15.2   .030     NYL   10.4   .021
avg   17.5   .096     avg   12.5   .093
A player in a 17.5 PER series has 40% higher PER than the equivalent player in a 12.5 PER series. This seems substantial and worth a recalibration.
So in the LV-Sea series, I've subtracted 2.5 from everyone's PER; added 2.5 for those in Phx-NY.
WS/48 are bumped up by .004 (LV-Sea) to .013 (Min-GS).

Now total WS match the number of games in each series; and I've added PER-wins and averaged 3 'wins' metrics for this top30:

The Phx-NYL series had an overtime period, which may distort some of these numbers, but not by much.

In subsequent rounds, I'll be doing separate series, rather than submitting everyone to the same standards. Assume PER and WS will still need to be standardized.

By Winshares / 48 and old school Oliver offense and defensive ratings at BRef Natasha Cloud was lightyears ahead of Sabrina Ionescu.

By regular season record, #1, 2, 4 and 6 advanced.

Dream loss was unexpected, given regular season stats.

Lynx had best regular season offense and defense. Should win. Unless Mercury defense clamps them or Aces outpoint, influenced by FTs.

"Minnesota Lynx Guard DiJonai Carrington Out for Rest of 2025 WNBA Playoffs with Foot Sprain."


Matchups and injuries can impact playoffs. Some winners get to title because of them, others regardless.

Ionescu had another bad shooting stretch, but only Cloud and Stewart shot better. Using only 7 players, the other 4 were a combined .092 worse TS%.
Cloud with a horrendous TO% in playoffs may have had something to do with her shooting less than normal. And it didn't bother her WS rate very much.

Teams with fewer turnovers all won:

Min  13.3   16.8  GSV

Cloud took about 1 fewer true shooting attempts in playoffs than regular season. Ionescu about 1 more.

Cloud 1 more turnover, Ionescu most of 1 more.

Could be "random", could be correlated.
for players and between players.

The avg WNBA player, ages weighted by minutes played, was 1.5 years older than NBA avg last year -- 28.0 to 26.5.
Those teams which made the postseason averaged 28.4 y.o. in the season, and in the first round ticked up a fraction.

Code: Select all

diff     tm     RS      PO
+2.6    Phx    27.8    30.4
+0.7    Ind    28.1    28.8
+0.2    Min    28.8    29.0
+0.1    LVA    28.1    28.2
+0.0    NYL    29.4    29.4
-0.3    Atl    27.8    27.5

-1.5    GSV    27.0    25.5
+.15    avg    28.40   28.55
Teams that went older in round 1 won their series; those that didn't lost theirs.
