The 2024-25 NBA playoffs are underway, beginning the two-month journey to the Finals. But which teams are truly built for the grind?
Sure, every team that has made it this far has its strengths, but the postseason is also designed to expose a roster's flaws. Each of these playoff squads are carrying statistical red flags -- some brighter red than others -- that could derail a deep run.
To determine what those flaws might be, I rated every team relative to league average across key metrics from the regular season, including pace, shooting frequencies and percentages, turnovers, star power and playoff experience.
