Garnett the only big in the top 10 on this metric, but bigs are slightly overrepresented in the top 30.

Watching the Clippers use 3 guards for most of the 4th quarter in game 7, I wondered about this strategy and why it worked.
Here's a little breakdown between the 8 teams that advanced from round 1, and those that didn't, by nominal position.
Code: Select all
1st round: Winning Teams Losing Teams e480
pos %Min eWins e480 %Min eWins e480 Advantage
1 PG .25 7.23 1.33 .21 4.07 .87 .46
2 SG .18 3.90 .99 .23 2.59 .51 .48
3 SF .19 4.77 1.16 .20 3.28 .77 .39
4 PF .26 6.46 1.13 .20 4.47 1.01 .12
5 C .12 3.27 1.31 .15 3.86 1.16 .15
all 1.00 25.64 1.18 1.01 18.27 .84 .34
The totals sum to slightly over 1.00 eW/480 because I omitted players with <3 mpg.
The prevailing teams averaged better eWins per 480 at all positions, but were dominant at 1-3 .
Winners used "centers" even less than the losers did; but total minutes for "bigs" were greater among winners.
Losers actually seem to have most overused their weakest position -- shooting guard.

Mike: If I'm reading your e-wins stat correctly, you'd expect Lebron + 4 exactly average players to win approximately 49.7 games over an 82-game schedule, assuming they're all playing 48 minutes. Yes?

Mmm, yeah -- if LeBron is at .206 eW per game, and that's from just 38 mpg.
The Knicks were pretty much an average team, so they may represent seasonal avg competition.
His per minute eWins rate was 2.60 times average in the Knicks series, a bit higher than his season rate.
His season WS rate was 2.98 avg, and his playoffs are shown as 3.48 of avg --
http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/MIA/2012.html
His PER is also up, not so drastically, in playoffs: from 30.7 to 31.4
He had almost as gaudy eWins numbers before I broke down and gave credit for non-productive minutes to guys like Joel Anthony and Shane Battier.
If LeBron is really good for .35 wins/48 and Wade is really .22, then those two plus any 3 NBA players can beat almost anyone. I'm compelled to believe that their below-avg teammates
enable them to score and otherwise produce as they do.

The position distribution data for winning / losing teams is interesting. Thanks. What source did you use for position assignments?
The impression given, to me, is that small ball was winning, in terms of playing time and outcome. A comprehensive lineup vs lineup analysis would get at that more directly.

I wonder if these trends hold up over say the last 5 years or if they bounce around a lot.

Hibbert the only player listed above or much above 260 lbs (except Lebron)?
Guys 6-3 and below overrepresented? (are long arms compensating and changing the story?)

Another thread led to detection of anomalies in playoff Win Shares, the basketball-reference stat.
Based on pythagorean-expected wins, discrepencies of several percent have been noticed.
Here in one table are the 2012 playoff teams, ranked by their pythagorean win%.
pWins and pLosses are shown; also team WinShares as the totals of player WS; team WS per 48; and team minutes-weighted PER

wsx = (WS - pW)/G
Positive numbers in this column indicate "too many" WS are granted to players, relative to their team pW.
Denver lost to the Lakers in round 1 (4-3) but outscored LA by a few points. Still, a PER of 16.2 seems high?
LA then routed by OKC, but their PER is 15.7 ?
And OKC has by far the best PER.
Then there are the WS oddities.
