Channing Frye…

The gap b/w Draymond and Steph is nuts considering how much their mins overlap

But Steph didnt play in a number of playoff games tho that Warriors still dominated

Murray and Jokic too

[lessthanjake]

Given how tiny playoff off samples are, I think this is mostly extremely noisy to the point of being not very useful, except perhaps to look at the small number of people with tons of playoff games in this data set (guys like LeBron, Steph, Draymond, Duncan, and Ginobili), and even some of those wouldn’t be much less noisy than single-season RAPM (which is super noisy). And it’s actually probably even worse than just looking at the off minutes would lead you to believe, because, even for those players with lots of playoff minutes, the model will be trying to control for the presence of other players that have a very small amount of playoff data. So, basically, the adjustments the model makes compared to on-off will be mostly based on garbage.

My analysis suggests that if you were to just chop out the first round games, the gap between Dray & Steph may basically disappear.

Jokic is interesting with this because it really doesn't look good for him...but at this point it's hard for me to actually see it as a serious concern. While it's certainly more impressive to have a big On/Off in any circumstance, most of the time guys who play huge minutes in a losing effort have bad Ons, and so as long as I'm seeing a guy do amazing things as a matter of course, and demonstrating that he can lead teams to great playoff success this way, it doesn't seem that big of a deal to me.

It looks like he just missed your cutoff, but...

Camelo Anthony: #1414, -3.1

And not that I take too much from the small sample sizes, but a couple other observations:

1. Chris Webber is just outside the Top 100, at 1.0. Meanwhile Bosh is #1302 at -2.4, and Horford and Gobert are also lower than Webber(though still in the Top 200). Just wanted to give C-Webb some love since he rarely gets any around here.

2. #71 seems low for Kobe.

3. #397 seems WAY low for Paul Pierce.

4. Tony Parker doesn't look great - #357, -0.6 - especially in comparison to his teammates Duncan, Manu, DRob, Kawhi, and even Danny Green, who are all in the Top 20 and all 3.5+.

5. Dwight Howard all the way down at #874, at -1.3.
