Official Plus Minus Season Thread

[RudyFor3]

I will try and update this after every game. Here are the plus minus numbers after 6 games.

Webster +30
Oden +25
Roy +24
Blake +22
Outlaw +20
Bayless +2
Aldridge -3
Howard -6
Pryzbilla -7
Fernandez -9
Miller -13 (+14 when starting, -27 when coming off the bench)
Cunningham N/A

You also have to use other factors to determine a players worth but usually at the end of the season your best players will have the better +- numbers.

I think N/A should be listed above -20!

Those top five guys would make a pretty nice lineup.

I'm sure San Antonio, Boston and Orlando agree. We would be killed on the glass with Outlaw at the PF.

Updated, Aldridge was the best +- tonight with +8. Miller, Pryzbilla and Webster were the worst with -6.

P.S. - Can one of the mods make this a sticky?

Predicting a player's +/- for each game is like predicting what those around me will do each day. It's hard enough to predict what I will do, much less everyone else.

Last season's +/- per minute were, from high to low, Blake, Roy, Aldridge, Przybilla, Oden, Batum, Fernandez, Outlaw, Rodriguez, Bayless, and Frye.

Great night for the Blazer starters as Blake was +13, while Aldridge, Roy and Webster were +12 and Oden +9.

Miller -8, Rudy -4. Interesting to me that Outlaw was the only positive 2nd unit player at +3. I thought the "depth" was a big plus, but it isn't turning out to be the nightly advantage yet that it will be.

Miller playing with the second unit is not working out. I still feel Blake should be the starter until he plays badly for a stretch of games. He played very well howver against the Thunder and I hope he keeps it up.

Martell!

This isn't going to be stickied? I think tracking season +/- is a pretty cool idea.

I agree, Sticky this!

I don't get it. You want an ongoing thread, with people commenting on +/- stats for the last game, and cumulatively too? What is there to say? ...that wouldn't be better said integrated into other threads. Any odd stats are discussed in regular threads, or if it's weird enough, someone will start a thread, to call attention to the stat, that gets short-lived interest. What will the ongoing thread say after each game? ..that the box score doesn't say.

Tough loss tonight for us, Miller at -13 was the worst.

Plus/Minus Numbers for todays game:

Brandon Roy +15
Andre Miller +14
Greg Oden +13
Steve Blake +7
Travis Outlaw +7
LaMarcus Aldridge +6
Martell Webster +5
Jerryd Bayless +2
Rudy Fernandez -3
Juwan Howard -3
Joel Przybilla -3

Miller needs to keep starting as he is more effective that way.

Damn Aldridge! Better work a little harder my man! I expect that to go up mid season.
