Gregg Easterbrook is a haughty dip****.
So let's say team A & team B played in the regular season, team A scored 35 on team B. Now the same two teams meet in the playoffs but team A wont score 35 because team B has a better D now because they're in the post season.
Gotcha.

Satori's post compared regular season average points per game to points scored in playoff losses.
Regular season average points per game is going to include games against good and bad teams. Playoff games would only be against better teams. Thus one would expect to score less when playing only against the better teams than vs a sample set that included poor teams.
One would also expect when you only look at playoff [b]losses[b/], that the points scored would be below your season average. Especially if you won more games than you lost in the regular season and made it into the playoffs.

well, wouldn't the same hold true (and even things out) that the better team offenses are in the play offs?
Unless the assumption is that defense trumps offense in terms of making to the play-offs, but I don't think that is true (again, speculating).
Are you talking about overall playoff scoring?
The post by Satori and my response was about a specific team's scoring pattern in the regular season vs the post season.
If you are talking overall, yes, you would assume the better offenses and the better defenses would be in the playoffs.

Gotcha.
Or maybe, truer to the point, 34 points for team A? 
I'm guessing familiarity since their previous game, from, say December 2nd-ish?. Also, consider if team B scored 7 in the regular season but 15 in the playoffs... did the team A defense regress?
On average does Tom Brady score more during the regular season than he does in the postseason?
He scores in Bunchens.
