I thought the below was a fun way of looking at some advanced offense, rebounding, and turnover stats against where teams landed on win totals and conference ranks. Unsurprisingly, there’s a high correlation between these stats and the wins / ranks achieved this season.

But a couple interesting ones that stick out to me:

The Cavs: finished with 59 wins and 3rd in the East. Really high free throw rate, rebounding %, and low TOs, but not efficient offense. Missing here are the defensive stats that made up for that offensive inefficiency.

The Clippers: finished with 49 wins and 5th in the West. Efficient across the board in these metrics, particularly relative to other teams in the West. I would otherwise expect them to have done a little better.

Rooooollin, great stuff today @R B

I would imagine there's a multiplier effect in balanced (ie. Cavs) where they not only have elite defense, but also run top opposing players off the floor (foul trouble and more)

always been a big fan of the RB content and the pretty tables he puts together

Ya great point. That’s gotta be a factor
