not only is it a small sample size, it's a different animal from the regular season.
level of competition is different. you only play against the top X-teams. 'league average' at some aspect in the playoffs translates to below average.
stratagies are different (like 4-man rotation etc)
more days off / rest
so, we can't even use what we are used to seeing nor the larger chunk of data that is the regular season over time. (time has it's own obstacles that interfere with relevance)
while it may be similar, it'd be unwise to assume it is the same. break-even points will all shift due to different dynamics of the postseason.
