Zach Randolph's 5 GameScores vs Portland ranged from 0.4 to 11.6
In 3 games vs GS, they've been 14.7 to 17.9
[His median GmSc in the season was 13.0]

Courtney Lee had 4 games vs the Blazers in the 15-17.4 range. These rank among his 11 best games all year.
In the RS, his median was 6.5 to 7; vs GS he's about his normal self.

There's a shortage of 'advanced stats' for ongoing or individual playoff series. One could extract them from their playoff totals if 1st round numbers were known.

Last night, LeBron again dragged his team to victory. Along with 18 boards, 13 Ast, and 3 Stl, he had 6 TO and needed 42 shots (TSA) to net 37 Pts.
After 13 games, his playoff rates vs his career PO avgs before:

Code: Select all

LeBron  PER   TS%   FTr   TRb%   Ast%   Stl%  Blk%   TO%   Usg%  WS/48   BPM
06-14   27.7  .578  .48   12.2   31.9   2.2   1.7   12.4   31.4  .242   10.4
2015    24.3  .490  .29   14.1   43.2   2.3   2.5   13.9   36.6  .168    9.3
Those are career low TS%, FTr; worst TO% and WS rate since first postseason.
Also career high Usg%, Ast%, and TReb%.

While his WS/48 takes a beating due to poor shooting and high TO, his BPM is largely unruffled -- thanks to massive Ast and Reb rates, we guess.

So missing his 2 co-stars, Love and Irving, he still has the East #1 seed on the brink of being swept.
Is he having a great postseason? or a terrible one (by his standards)?

His eWins/480 in 3 series have been 2.30 (vs Bos), 2.95 (Chi) and now 3.42 vs Atl -- all hella better than his WS rates. And getting stronger as needed.
In WS/48, the Cavs are led by Love (for 4 G), Irving, Smith, and Thompson; then LeBron, just ahead of Shumpert, James Jones, and Mozgov.

For his RS career, 70% of LeBron's Win Shares are attributed to his offense. And about 80% of his BPM is OBPM.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... sle01.html

In playoffs it's been about .68 and .72, respectively.

This postseason, his DWS are more than 50% of his total; BPM is 50/50 O/ D.

Cavs' playoff opponents' have seen sharp drops in their shooting from the RS:

Code: Select all

eff%   RS   vs Cle   diff
Bos   .516   .496   -.020
Chi   .528   .485   -.043
Atl   .556   .507   -.049
avg   .533   .496   
Effective shooting% = Pts/(2*fga + fta)
LeBron's shooting just .483 thru 13 games. Teammates are shooting .553

In the season, Cavs' opponents shot the league avg .535
Did losing Love make them this much better defensively?

Can't seem to find it now, but a couple days ago I saw somewhere on b-r.com the Warriors given about 90% chance of winning the title.
Given their 10.0 SRS vs the 4.1 Cavs (regular season), that would indeed suggest a series expected to go 4 or 5 games.

But after 14 playoff games, we are seeing a different Cleveland team.
Here are their opponents' RS SRS, the series MOV, and the apparent SRS (opponent SRS + MOV) of the Cavs and Warriors in each series:

Code: Select all

Cleveland                    Golden State
opp   mov    srs    Cle      opp   mov    srs    GSW
Bos   9.2   -.40    8.8      NOP   8.0   1.13    9.1
Chi   5.5   2.54    8.0      Mem   8.0   3.62   11.6
Atl  13.3   4.75   18.1      Hou   6.8   3.82   10.6

avg   9.3   2.30   11.6      avg   7.6   2.86   10.5
(Averages not weighted by games)
The Cavs have dominated each opposing team by several more points than expected by RS SRS.
The Warriors have mostly overachieved, but not by much.

Thompson and Mozgov have dominated inside, vs bigs who were not as healthy as Bogut and Ezeli.

EDIT -- weighted by games in each series, the imputed SRS are: Cle 11.12 - 10.62 GSW
-- Cavs' advantage is < half that seen in the table above (0.5 vs 1.1)

Summary of each series' team stat category; listing the series winner's advantage in each category: positive turnover differential is a good thing.

Code: Select all

1   Atl   Brk    5.5    1.2   .015    1.0
1   Chi   Mil   12.3    6.1   .082   -4.3

rd  Win   Lose   Pts    Reb    TS%    TO

3   GSW   Hou    8.2    7.6   .028     .4
3   Cle   Atl   13.3   12.4   .036   -3.3

avg              6.7    3.6   .034   -0.9
In this sample of 14 series, point differential can be estimated by these other 3 differentials as:
Pts = Reb*0.67 + TS*152 + TO*0.95
Avg absolute error from this is 1.25, and the biggest one is Was vs Tor -- Wiz "should have" won by about 17 ppg, rather than 14, with that shooting and rebounding advantage.

The Cavs playoff defense is something I need to catch up on.

Every first round series loser got too little out of their guards and not even close to enough with possible exception with Spurs, but only their backups. In almost every case losing teams had 2 front line players who were alright or good. Part of this maybe the reliability of getting a good amount of defensive rebounds and more offensive rebound and putback opportunities.

So by some of Mike's other interesting stats that I am late in seeing, only half of first round winners won the boards and turnover battles. They also won ts% every time, though barely in Clips vs. Spurs, the best first round loser. In 2nd round, winner won 3 board and turnover battles. Rockets lost ts% to Clips. Boards and timing of production keyed their win. Conference finals had dominance. Hawks win of turnover battle hardly mattered against the rest.

There's a minus-.63 correlation between TO and TS% (differentials)

One thing I haven't seen here or elsewhere is playoff ts% (or offensive rating) and usage by position, overall and winners and losers. I have a feeling there is a large gap between the ts% of guards / front line but perhaps a smaller one on offensive rating? How much of this is guard selfishness vs. the defense just makes it harder to get the ball to bigs or harder for them to actually use the possession? Are the winning teams tending to do better at this positional allocation of offense?
