Playoff RAPM

Regularized Adjusted Plus-Minus Ridge Regression (alpha=500) Playoffs Only

Playoff RAPM

RAPM computed from canonical counted playoff possessions only — separate from the regular season model. Each season is estimated independently; the multi-year leaderboard uses minutes-weighted averaging across seasons.

Playoff samples are much smaller than regular season (~15–20 games vs 82), so estimates are noisier. The default removes 100% of 3PT and free-throw make/miss residuals and 50% of 10–23-foot mid-range residuals. The selector can omit the mid-range adjustment.

Alpha: Ridge regularization strength. α=500 (default) applies strong shrinkage, which is especially useful for small playoff samples. α=10 shrinks less and can show more separation among players with large samples.
