How can someone give up points when they're not playing? http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/team/1378625058-94-364/offense-defense-floor-time.html
The first statement, "JJ Hickson gave up more points when he was in the game than when he was out of it." How does a player give up points when he's not in the game?
The only explanation I can come up with is that his replacement gave up less than he did? But I don't think that's it, or it's really poorly worded.
I think they mean this... He gives up more points playing in the game; then when he's on the bench and another bench player is defending.
