Jazz have the best 5 man rotation for +/- in the league?

Jeditiger said:
On an overall team basis, I can see that. As in "team x is (+/-) team y in rebounds". But on an individual basis, its way too easy to misconstrue and take out of context.



You really enjoy being an arrogant, condescending prick, don't you?

Some people think that sort of behavior hides their ignorance. Unfortunately for IGS, there's literally nothing that could accomplish that.

Um, there is a correlation between individual +/- and team performance--I take it that you haven't done the analysis--and 5-man rotations are even better than individual +/-. Academic studies have been done on the relative robustness of point differential, which is an aggregation of team +/- combinations. That's why I harp on it.

Only toward people for whom it is appropriate. There is not satisfaction in being a prick toward people who don't deserve it.

Don't deny that your previous posts haven't asked for it.

Correct, because I put analysis behind my opinions. Wasn't much ignorance to hide in the first place, and thus it's hard to find.

Why do so many people put so much stock in +/-? I don't consider it to be all that useful of a "stat". A novelty, a curiosity, sure.

It's just like the way we sometimes talk about power rankings. They don't mean squat, and if they don't look good for your team you can easily ignore them, but if they suggest that your homerish feelings are valid you'll wave them around in people's faces all day long.

Oh, you're not an just arrogant, condescending prick towards me. You're just an arrogant, condescending prick period. I'm sure you're a delight IRL.

I am done responding to your posts and I ask that you refrain from responding to mine going forward. You're not a Jazz fan. Nothing the Jazz has ever done has ever brought you joy here. All you do is harp and criticize and try to seem professorial in the process. You're nothing but an act, and it makes you nothing more than an ***.

Our starter combinations have such a great +/- rate because our bench production has sucked all year long, and seems like will be borderline inefficient untill we get Memo %100 healthy back.

Wow do you have any idea how stupid this post makes you look? Our bench has carried us almost all year. The starters have continually gotten this team in a hole and the bench has brought us back. This just shows that you have not watched very many games because your boy was not playing.

Well i did say almost all year. Like all basketball teams they have definitely had their bad games. The bench has won us more games than lost us. The bench has definitely not sucked all year like he claimed.
