    The funny thing is, the numbers imply we would be best served by benching Lillard and starting Mo. We obviously can't do that, but I wonder if that's what Stotts is kind of trying to do with his rotation of Lillard out first, back first.

    What might improve is that when CJ comes back, he could play some of Mo's minutes before Matthews comes back, effectively moving Lillard back to primary ball-handler with the bench unit, where I think he's a little more effective (Mo's offense sometimes only tangentally involves Lillard, who is the most offensively effective player on the court at that point). Alternatively (or additionally), he could play some of Wright's minutes in a three-guard lineup, and give Mo one less airballer to pass to. :ghoti:

    Good or bad, I have always felt +/- is a worthless stat

    It's "worthless" when the data are close to each other. In this case it's not close.
