There are only five teams who have been part of the playoffs in each of the last five seasons.Boston Celtics guard JD Davison drives toward the basket in the first half of a basketball game, April 14, 2024, in Boston. 1:31 PM EDT April 20, 2024
Dallas' Luka Doncic actually had more points per game against playoff teams than the non-playoff clubs. Doncic averaged 35.0 points against the teams that made the 16-team bracket, 32.9 points against the teams that didn't get in.The Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James will extend at least two league playoff records in every game he plays for the remainder of the season.
Including regular season, playoff, play-in tournament and the NBA Cup final , James has appeared in 1,778 NBA contests. That’s third-most in NBA history behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Robert Parish . So, that’ll be another record James breaks — either with a deep playoff run this season, or early next season.Denver went 16-4 in the playoffs last season.
It hasn't been uncommon for much-worse records to get much-higher seeds than what the Pelicans earned this season. In 2004, a 39-win season got New York the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. There have been a slew of instances in recent years where going 41-41 turned into a No. 6 seed for teams, and one where it turned into a No. 5 seed. In 2004, Miami went 42-40 -- and got a No. 4 seed. The Heat were a No. 3 seed in 2007 at 44-38, a year after Denver did the same.
Spoelstra enters the playoffs with 184, one behind George Karl. If the Heat can upset Boston, Spoelstra would almost certainly pass No. 6 Larry Brown . But if the Celtics win the series, by any margin, four Boston coaches would benefit. Of the 36 referees picked for Round 1, there are eight with more than 100 playoff assignments: Foster, Davis, Tony Brothers , James Capers , Zach Zarba , Bill Kennedy , Ed Malloy and John Goble .
