lol, after the indy 500 racer dude(?), one of the commentators: "I don't get how they drive so fast without crashing" derp

damn, behind at the half even after Wade's insane performance. Hope we can have another big 3rd ><

The +/- of the Pacers starters is amazing yet they're only up by 2.

If Wade wasn't on fire today, the pacers would have a really good lead.

If the Pacers players wouldn't have amazing +/-, Heat would have a nice lead.

Wait, what is +/- again anyway? Is it the point differential for your team while you're on the court? (e.g. if you're on the court for a certain amount of time, and during that time your team scores 10 and the other team scores 5, you have +5)

People complaining about Indiana not feeding the bigs more: They get tired and Miami's D is making it difficult to get a solid entry pass in every time.

Point differential, the most accurate indicator of playoff success, has Philly pretty high up. 4th iirc. They're better than their record dictates.


Is that true? Do you have an article or something on that? That would be very interesting to read because I, initially, don't believe it. But I haven't done any research.


He's somewhat right. Point Differential for the regular season says how strong your team is overall in relation to the league. Super teams usually have a monster PD + a decent record. Philly had a massive PD going into the middle of the season, lost Hawes, then started losing a lot of games.

But once you hit the playoffs your PD (vs the entire league) can be a "false" indicator: what matters is how you matched up vs the team you are playing. You can go 0-4 vs a team, but have a PD of -1.2 vs them and the PD tells you the matchup is very close. So you wouldn't do something like say Team X has Team Y's # - look at the record! You need to see how close the games were.

This is the only thing that anyone rooting for San Antonio needs to be wary of vs OKC. They've beaten them without Manu and won 2 out of 3 but we have no idea how the matchups will go in this series. Duncan being way better than his RS self is a mega plus for SA but Durant and Westbrook being better is also a game changer.


That's exactly what I thought when I read that sentence. There's no way PD is strictly "the best indicator of playoff success." I have not doubt it tells you a team over/under-performed it's true talent or some team is due for regression. But that statement just struck me wrong.


Hi! Um, it's been in various articles. "Point Differential", you can search. Here's one from basketball prospectus: http://www.basketballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=2236

Historically speaking, point differential is where it's at when it comes to forecasting the NBA playoff bracket.


Related to something like Pythagorean wins. You can see the idea from David Berri on wages of wins blog, and I think Hollinger likes it too [if that means anything, hahaha].

Don't quote me on this, but I read somewhere that point differential is good, head to head is also good, but head-to-head point differential is best.
If you could reason with haters, there would be no haters. YGTMYFT

Well, I think the problem is that they weren't on the floor. Miami's D can't really stop them. They are often overplaying them with the fronting and stuff.

Well thats the thing - if Miami's overplays them then they have to lob it over the top. Miami just brings the help defender to either steal the ball or swarm and force a difficult pass (Hibbert can clearly pass well though).

Pacers issue is they aren't moving the ball around to create a better angle to get the passes in. Just trying to dump the ball into the paint isn't going to work for enough time.
