Despite the small size of samples and postseason is not over, I have made a quantitative analysis of playoff teams. Download the analysis in spreadsheets in case you would like to.
Not to mention the results of the teams who were eliminated in the first round don't tell the whole story since they have played against only one opponent. First of all, let me explain what "4 factors" is.
Now you can download Playoffs 2008's cumulative and game-by-game efficiency data in MS Excel files.
Have fun with it!

Read how Jason Kidd has changed Dallas Mavericks' statistical facts.
Earlier, the "Trades Work Out?" article has J-Kidd's individual statistical changes since he has been traded to Dallas.

(1) by making a shot; (2) by missing a shot and not getting the offensive rebound; (3) by turning the ball over; and (4) by going to the line for two or three shots and either making the last shot or not getting the rebound of a missed last shot. POSSESSION =(Field Goal Attempts)+(Turnovers)+0.4*(Free Throw Attempts) - 1.07*(Offensive Rebounding Percentage)*(Missed Shots) PACE is the number of possessions a team uses per game. OFFENSIVE EFFICIENCY is the number of points a team scores per 100 possessions. DEFENSIVE EFFICIENCY is the number of points a team allows per 100 possessions. CORRELATION is a value between -1 and +1 that describes the degree of relationship between two variables. Defensive correlations are negative because lower defensive efficiency means better defense.
