    I don't know why every thread has to turn into a Sergio vs Bayless war; fuck, can't they both be on our team next year and be great? They work great as a team; one day, Sergion does well, the other day bayless does....

    go blazers?????

    Bayless is playing great defense but I also think Sergio is trying harder on defense.

    I know you weren't one of the haters. I was thinking of guys like Quick (calling Oden "underwhelming") and Gavin Dawson (his "jobber" comment).

    But he WAS underwhelming and now's he's better, regardless of what the excuse was.

    +/- measures what the 5 players out there did collectively.

    Each player plays with a different lineup of players.

    You can have a horrible game and get a high +/- if the others offset you.

    Or you can be the one carrying the others.

    It is useful for comparison only over a long period of games with both players running similar lineups and similar minutes.

    Despite having trouble with Felton's shooting penetration, Bayless has been out there against the bench mainly, and the Kitty's bench is pretty weak. That's when we have made our runs.

    No. You may only like one. Liking both disqualifies you as a Blazers fan.

    I know Oden didn't play well, but if he was underwhelming, then someone's expectations were too high when one consider the factors against Oden coming into this season. In the early season he played like a guy that was out of shape and didn't have any NBA experience.

    YOU were the one who said +/- mattered back when Bayless was beating Sergio statistically. Now you're flip flopping. And that's the last you'll hear from me about it.

    Go Blazers

    He was playing well for a rookie center. He just wasn't playing a lot of minutes, which matters but a lot less than how good he was when he was on the floor.

    He wasn't underwhelming, he was playing as expected due to his circumstance, he was only playing underwhelming if your expectations were unrealistic! Sheesh!

    Yea, but he had games where he'd play 13 minutes and grab 1 rebound. It's all good. He's playing well now.

    We've already had a baked point guard. Damon Stoudamire didn't work out that well, in most people's opinions.
