Not based on what I have seen in games recently rewatched, but I never did any hardcore evaluations there.

Normal caveats re playoffs.
Small sample, limited range of opponents. In this instance a small sample of the career too.
That said, his assist numbers are a bit down each year in the 2000-2002 window in the playoffs. Now often everyone's numbers should go down a little in the playoffs with better competition, but I think not for the first of these stats.
Assist percentage RS
00: 19.3
01: 18.8
02: 16.4
average: 18.3
Assist percentage playoffs
00: 14.5
01: 14.8
02: 14.5
average: 14.6
Assists per 100 poss RS
00: 4.9
01: 5.0
02: 4.3
average: 4.7
Assists per 100 poss playoffs
00: 3.8
01: 3.9
02: 3.7
average: 3.8
Not claiming anything beyond stating what these stats are within this sample. Don't know to what extent shooting luck fluctuations would be in play over these samples.
