+/- stats

[Blazer4ever]

Love this stat. Go to NBA.com, then to +/- Statistics then to Portland.

Best 5 player combo: Miller, Blake, Aldridge, Roy, Oden

Best individual +/-, in order:
Blake, Roy, LA, Webster, Oden, Miller, Pryzbilla, Outlaw, Cunningham (+.746 per minute but in a very small sample), Fernandez, Bayless (negative), Howard (negative).

The best per minute (other than Cunningham):
Blake (+.244), Webster, Oden, Roy, Outlaw, Miller, Aldridge, Przybilla (+.141), Fernandez (+.019), Bayless (-.262), Howard (-.3).

Sadly, that was just for the one night. So on that night the Blazers were the best, because (a) there weren't many games, and (b) they were playing the Timberwolves.

What annoys me is that you can't rank according to +/- per minute. Now, of course that would mean there'd be a bunch of ridiculous numbers for lineups that were used for ten seconds and scored two points, but you could still sift through for the higher-use ones.

It's not stats for one night, it's stats for one team - the Blazers - over the course of the season.

Okay - I guess I thought you had the same experience as me when I last went to the general +/- page and it had a five-Blazer lineup on the front page.

Interesting that the best lineup without Blake is also without Roy. I guess they're joined at the hip. (Miller, Outlaw, Webster, Oden, Rudy).
