Actually it was after he missed a jumpshot. Almost from the get-go late in games this season, he has attacked the basket to force the action and...
Aaron with some swagger? That last shot he was just feelin' it.
"Narf!" "Are you thinking what I'm thinking Pinky?" "I think so Brain, but what good is giving minutes to Andersen or Battier going to do...
Not really, when used in conjunction with many other variables is where the +/- shines. Variables including other players, opponents, time on the...
Yao fit just fine last year. It should be even better if you consider you are swapping Martin for Artest, Ariza for Battier, a more experienced...
Those struggles have coincided with good shooters missing good shots that they get within the flow of the offense, or turnovers. Or both. Like...
Oh yeah, and the 20ppg Mike James that folks wanted to replace Rafer Alston was never here when Rafer was. What we got was an aging Mike James...
Except Brooks has been doing way more than just shooting.
Because Lowry is a better change of pace guard than Brooks is? Do a poll on who is the better change of pace and Lowry should win that one in a...
Agreed. It is a tool, like any other. Using it by itself and saying it's the end all/be all is just as bad as saying you can't tell anything by...
I know you didn't. But others have, and they aren't using the +/- stat to talk about his effect on the game. I mean, the original use of it in...
I think there are other factors that go into it. I see from watching the games that Lowry is the big game changer for us and he is SORELY missed...
Individual talent yes, group talent no. Chucky Brown played solid minutes on the Rocket's championship team of 94-95. He was a contributor...
The more players you combine to get a collective +/- stat increases its worth. Its most meaningless point is on a single player.
Um, unlike Kobe, Yao can't just get the ball on the wing or top of the key. The team has to be able to get him the ball, and if the defense...
Sorry, as much as I defend Brooks from the infinite criticisms he seems to get I can't agree with this. Lowry is a master at what he does....
Maybe its the inconsistent minutes but even when he has played more than 5 minutes in a game his shot seems to be off. He also hasn't been...
IMO having Yao as just one of the guys will only help him. It relieves the pressure, it makes the defense more honest, and should allow him to...
Against the one and done. The NBA, much like MLB usually has the better team winning the chip.
Yeah, when Aaron has someone who can come in and run the team effectively in his absence, it seems to help the rest of his game. Temple had...
