Is your font too small or BCook really has the lowest +/- rating

Thanks again. As I am usually saying, stats do not tell the whole story. But the way you put them together (efficiency and +/-), I really can't say that they contradict what I see on the floor.

Interestingly enough, Lamar has much better rating than Kobe does. In my opinion, it is a reflection of Kobe early being a mere mortal and Lamar having better overall season after 11 games.

Thanks again

You are see right about Cook. A -14 in 98.5 minutes.

Seems he has been shooting good from inside the arc, but all-in-all not a good start to the season for Brian.

But Lamar is off to a great start despite what you read around here.

Wow. The top 3 duos have one player in common. And not quite the player one would expect.

BCook (IMHO) is a "victim" of Phil trying to utilize him as a backup Center early on the season. He would have been better (not good) has Phil utilized him in his old role. But Radman is much better defensively (surely one of the "good surprises" for me) and thus gets that role. I can picture a second unit of Brown, Radman, Cook, Farmar and Mo being more successful overall (if Ronny is still hurting). But when Ronny is back and either Lamar or Kobe playing with this second unit, he'll be relegated to riding the pine... as future $3MM per year player should on the strong team

I need Ronny ASAP. Especially for Friday. He is the one that might be able to contain Boozer better than anybody else.

If you think about it, it makes sense: Smush plays ONLY and exclusively with the starters as he is not good enough to play with the second unit.

Now, look at the overall +/- for starting five...

Sorry, but was missing game one at first. Here are the corrected top pairs:

Code:

  Min    +/-
307.89    29  Lamar Odom_Smush Parker *
313.35    24  Lamar Odom_Luke Walton *
211.03    23  Andrew Bynum_Smush Parker *
275.51    23  Kobe Bryant_Luke Walton
291.23    21  Luke Walton_Smush Parker *
 


More evenly distributed, so a lot of Smush and Luke.

We were looking at the last 10 games.

Proves my "theory" above even more as both Luke and Smush (and Drew as well) do not play with the second unit. BTW, it is not a bashing of our second unit at all as a lot of teams have fallen behind to the Lakers early and kept their starters on the floor against our second unit in order to get back in the game. Yet, if you look at +/- for a second unit players - it is not too bad either (less Cook who is really a 3-rd unit player for now)...

Looking at this, the biggest problem lineup was a:

Code:
7.85   -19  Brian Cook_Jordan Farmar_Kobe Bryant_Maurice Evans_Vladimir Radmanovic_


Cook still has + numbers in other lineups. Usually when LO is on the floor with him in some fashion, probably because LO does a better job on controlling the defensive glass.

Since Kobe's game was still struggling to get on track, we may see some different numbers when we get another snapshot of these lineups down the line. But I do think we are inviting trouble against some teams when Vlad/Cook are our only big men.

(Thanks, Pop. )

Great numbers Popcorn, thanks for compiling that.

Very interesting, I think +/- is a great statistic, but it can be misleading as we all know for a number of reasons just like any other stat.

But as other pointed out, the Cook/Radmo combo would seem to be defensively iffy if not paired with another big (Bynum, Kwame, Turiaf) based on those figures.

Not a big sample for the second line up, but look what just the replacement of just one starter (Smush with Jordan) does to the +/-. Who would have guessed

157.44 20 Andrew Bynum_Kobe Bryant_Lamar Odom_Luke Walton_Smush Parker_

7.44 -4 Andrew Bynum_Jordan Farmar_Kobe Bryant_Lamar Odom_Luke Walton_
