[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 997930, member: 4110"] As Yljacket points out, the +/- is a good stat to confirm or refute subjective impressions of a game. For instance, if, while watching a game, you were thinking, "Man, the team just doesn't look as good while George is off the floor," then going to the +/- stat line can be highly useful in supporting or refuting that particular observation. Similarly, it is a highly useful stat to refute your assertion that Gapare was disrupting GT with poor play. While it doesn't indicate how much Gapare was helping the team among the oher players he was on the court with, it does provide strong evidence that Gapare was not hurting the team with his +11 line. And that was my subjective impression as well. I actually thought that was his best game he has played at GT, including the one game where he scored 20 points. It is true generally of statistics: they can be insightful or misleading depending on the question you are wanting them to answer. [/QUOTE]
