Well, yeah. If your aim is to find a stat that estimates the complete bottom line of how a player helps a team (and I'm not necessarily a fan of...
pcrocket10@yahoo.com Kwame?
You could. Assuming those (+) and (-) numbers are updated frequently, you could just take the difference after each game is played. Of course,...
Yeah, what's up with that? The nba DOES track them individually, you can find the totals, but they don't put them in the box score individually....
Yeah, I just think there must be a better way of representing +/- without introducing a new variable. What if it was like a points%? You compare...
Using the raw total + and - from nba.com and making a ratio here's what you get. How does that compare to the per minute numbers? plus minus...
Ok, thanks haha. I wasn't thinking about that. It is more of a raw stat. You are correct. I left my brain at work this week. :grin: Maybe...
This is my point. I think +/- is more like fg%, it takes into account the good and the bad. Neither is bounded by per game or per minute. A...

Well, he was hurting last year. He isn't really playing much different from the two years prior to that, though. I'd say he's just getting back...
What do you think of his play in previous years? Do you feel he hurt his team more than helped them.
Yeah, Morey has mentioned before that they track this.
Rafer is a decent player he competes on defense, he has some leadership qualities, and understands how to control the tempo of the game - while...
I guess it's a little different because she's a woman and there shouldn't be a reason for her to worry about some guy hitting her like that....
What is a sucker punch? I don't think I know what it is. When I was younger they only called it a sucker punch if you hit someone in the back of...
I love Carl Landry and his ability to score but him not starting has less to do with his shortcomings and more to do with how good Luis Scola is....
