➡️ Teams getting into their first action quicker in the playoffs than regular season
⬅️ Teams getting into their first action slower in the playoffs than regular season
⬆️ Pressuring more on defense in the Playoffs
⬇️ Pressuring less on defense in the Playoffs

Indiana is really taking advantage of some low hanging fruit in the last 2 playoffs- pressure the opposing ball-handler to force them to take more time to get into their actions & get into your own actions sooner!

On the last You Know Ball pod, @trillbrodude.bsky.social was talking about the calculator rats loving Jokic more than SGA. So @sradjoker.cc put together a good meme to explain the MVP race (LEBRON and EPM have SGA ahead).

Why is Jimmy Butler a high impact player despite not putting up gaudy stats? Has a high impact on turnovers- limiting turnovers on offense, creating on defense. Highest FT rate impact in the league. High offensive rebound impact.

Top 10 in LEBRON vs. Top 10 in EBRON. EBRON is LEBRON without the luck adjustment. You can find that here: www.bball-index.com/leaderboards...

Who is driving more with better spacing?
➡️ Teammates provide more spacing i.e. they are better C&S 3pt shooters
⬅️ Teammates provide less spacing i.e. they are worse C&S 3pt shooters

Here it is for players who run more P&R as the ball-handler (% of possessions where the player is the P&R ballhandler). So running more P&R =/= more FTA.
November 20, 2024 at 10:01 PM
Here it is for players who drive and where there is help on those drives per 75 possessions. So drawing help doesn't necessarily lead to more FTA.
November 20, 2024 at 9:53 PM
Here it is for players doubled on isolations, post ups or blitzed in the P&R
November 20, 2024 at 9:53 PM
Here it is for Post Ups per 75 and FTA per 75
November 20, 2024 at 9:53 PM
Here it is for Isolations per 75 and FTA per 75 with a minimum of 500 minutes played.
November 20, 2024 at 9:53 PM
Looking at data from 13-14 to 23-24 with a minimum of 500 minutes played, correlation between drives per 75 and FTA per 75

LEBRON vs. multi-year LEBRON

Top 20 in LEBRON. One of the things we did was find the optimal amount of regression to the mean (prior) that best predicts LEBRON at the end of the season to be able to run it earlier in the season (for those familiar with RAPM type stats, finding the optimal lambda).

Might need KD on this app

Yeah Brooks is an outstanding defender. Despite his bad playoffs, he's still a good regular season player.
