I didn't see the game,I went to bed early but I see the bench shit the bed as usual....
Getting stops against Beal and Westbrook is easier said than done. Our problem is we had no bench. We needed somebody like Gafford who could come in and contribute 12 pts, 6 boards, 4 steals, and 4 blocked shots. Nance is capable of that on his best nights, but he's not fully recovered from his serious illness where he lost 20 pounds. At least he isn't playing like it.2 games in a row we could have won, but we just can’t get stops when we need them.
i can pick a handful of games for sexton too
in early february he was -22, +4, -24, -5, -27, -7, -31, -26 and -22
delly is -18 on the year, playing 5 full games, this is ok on this team
Raw plus minus is not an advanced stat. Box plus minus is an advanced stat and paints a better picture. For example, Cedi had the worst raw +/- on the team last night but second best box +/-. I think most people watching the game would say he was closer to second best than worst.I hate when people throw out numbers without content. Sexton is the only starter that plays a huge amount of time with the bench.When,he'son the court with the bench teams are double teaming him because he's the only scoring threat on the court.
Nance can't shoot
Dellavedova can't shoot
Cedi,Wade and share are inconsistent with their shooting.
Stevens isnt a three-point threat.
Somehow, you expect Sexton to succeed with a bunch of players that can't shoot when he's on the court with the bench...The bench has been the weakest link all season because we don't have no shooters there. Until,this team address the bench this upcoming offseason,it will be a problem again next season.
The majority of our long runs comes when Sexton and Garland is on the court together.
This is,why advanced stats and plus/minus are stupid because it never take account to anything at all.
Well, Okoro is only about 5’8”, right?I’d like to see that failed oop from Allen to Okoro again. If Okoro can’t finish an open oop that’s disappointing
Yes, nobody on our bench can create their own shot or is even willing to try, so there is no choice but to put our best shot creator out there to either beat his man and score or beat his man, force another defender to pick him up, and then hit the unguarded teammate with a pass.I hate when people throw out numbers without content.

Our bench didn’t score much (obviously) but the team was still ahead by 2 with 5:05 left when the last reserve headed to the bench. Our “closers” proceeded to give up 16 points in less than 5 minutes and lose by 9. Same thing happened against Charlotte. Your closing lineup simply has to get some stops if you are going to be successful.Getting stops against Beal and Westbrook is easier said than done. Our problem is we had no bench.

Well, it was our "closers" without Sexton and with Garland playing 40 minutes.Our bench didn’t score much (obviously) but the team was still ahead by 2 with 5:05 left when the last reserve headed to the bench.

Sexton & even a rested Garland aren’t getting us many more stops. But it would help us score with them. But my original point remains - we have to get some stops when games are on the line. The defense collapsed down the stretch in both of the last two games.Well, it was our "closers" without Sexton and with Garland playing 40 minutes.

ok so the context is sexton was -100 over a few games because he has to play with the bench and they are not a threat
excellent news, tell that to the guy who is mocking delly for being -18 on the year so far
If,you wanna go on about a player's plus/minus more power to you but it still doesn't change how stupid all of these advanced stats are especially that one.
It’s a counting stat, not an advanced stat.If,you wanna go on about a player's plus/minus more power to you but it still doesn't change how stupid all of these advanced stats are especially that one.
