So I'm generally a pretty big fan of this stat. I tend to agree with Hollinger that it's an accurate predictor of future success. We're back to having the 2nd best point differential in the NBA, dropping for a night after the nightmare in Oakland.
Then I think about the fact that we've had the privilege of mopping the floor with the T-Wolves 3 times already this early in the season. I'm too lazy to do the math on what our pt. diff. would be minus those 3 games, but it makes me wonder if that stat is misleading for the Blazers thus far.
Granted you play the games on the schedule, and, at least against Minny, we have been doing what we should do to bad teams. So should we put much stock in our +7.1 yet or is it still too early? I'm not sold yet personally.
