The solution to all our problems

[Rastapopoulos]

Four new starters!

(This is every player in the league ranked by +/- per 36.)

 

[e_blazer]

And to think, some people say plus-minus is a stupid stat.

Well, Quarterman hasn't missed a shot all year.

 

[BrianFromWA]

No way would ATL give up Tavares unless we includeds CJ, which we can't due to PPP.

I figured out how to fix our defense! Run faster!

Click the 2 column headings on the right. The Blazers are 4th-fastest on offense and 29th- on defense.

My link shows Lillard as our 2nd-slowest on defense but our 5th-fastest on offense. Let's check Rasta's link about +/- per minute out of 420 players.

370. Damian Lillard

Simple solution! Cover more ground while on defense. I deserve to be an NBA coach.

 

[Blazer4ever]

John Lucas the 3rd is an excellent backup PG

I know, right? But this is +/- PER 36!

(In related news, Aminu looks pretty good in DRPM)

yup. my aunt failed twice with clorox.

 

[KingSpeed]

The third string has consistently come into games and knocked 10-15 points off our deficit so this stat make sense.

 

[ripcityboy]

Neil right about now.....

Sucks we're usually 30 down when they come in. DRAT.

 

[Natebishop3]

Well, on the bright side, we get to keep our draft pick this year

Really, REALLY wish we had gone after Luke Walton. He probably would have gone to LAL because of his history with the team, but we should have played up the potential for a father/son championship legacy in Portland.
