Kidd looks really good with his formula. I was looking over his methodology and think Kidd is helped by the high value placed on 3s made and rebounds, steals, which Kidd excels at.
I haven't checked the other teams ... but adding Nets wins according to his methodology, you get 17.7 for half a season, which is really close. We where at 18 wins
