Most (& Least) Valuable Players in the 2011 Playoffs, Pre-Finals Edition


EDIT: I have also posted the most & least efficient players to Google Docs (as many of the poor performances don't make it into the bottom 25 as such players lost their series).


Here are the top & bottom 25, respectively. (These are not adjusted for opponent quality).

The numbers are based on my statistical plus-minus numbers, which I convert to wins via the "Pythagorean" formula. (Although I give each player the same baseline "team" value here for simplicity).
