What I am setting out to do is to compare how to champions hold up their resiliency in the playoffs by finding how they perform against opponents vs how they are expected which assumes that a team's average net ratings are obtained against the breadth of the NBA. Therefore if a team has a Offensive rating of 110.2 ORTG and their opponent has a DRTG of 105.5 when the League Average is 104.5, that means against a team with a +1.0 Defense, this offense is expected to perform at a 111.2 level. The same thoughts apply on defense.
I AND 1'd you, but just also wanted to give a note of encouragement.
Also feel free to keep it on this board, but you might consider asking to move it to the Stats board eventually. I know the audience is much bigger here but that also means that you might find yourself just bumping the thread and watching it fall away again and again.
I used a rather simple method that because the Warriors in this case has a 111.6 ORTG against every opponents that means against an opponent and the average of all teams in the nba is 0.0 since it was 104,1/104.1 with a 0.0 defense, they would average the same ORTG, while since the pelicans were +0.7 on defense the warriors would score 0.7 more ORTG while giving up 2.6 more DRTG and the net rating would be an expected 8.3 ( ORTG - DRTG ) since against normal opponents they have a 10.2 net rating and the pelicans total is 1.9.
It's not the most sophisticated method but I love working on it.
I came here to do two things: get lost and slice **** up & I'm all out of directions.

1. Why 104.1 when LA was 105.6? 2. NOP were +1.7 on defense, right? 3. Shouldn't expected ORTG for GSW (and DRTG for NOP) be calculated that way: (GSW RS ORTG+NOP RS DRTG)/2, so 109.5?
