Wallace is +13 leading the team. Gray is -6 leading the team. And Gordon is - 4.
Its just an incredibly stupid statistic..
It has its uses, but more over the long term than short. I think people just have trouble understanding what it says and what it doesn't.
Wallace hasn't really hurt us tonight. Because Miami sucks on defense and were scoring fine. Gray meanwhile, got owned by Shaq, and fouled him a couple times. Tonight's numbers are not somehow shocking or contrarian. You have to watch the games as well obviously to see if you are getting just circumstantial noise in the stat, or something that accurately confirms if a guy is contributing or hurting the team while he's out there.

Yeah, but when Wallace and Du are playing as well as they are, who can blame him
I'd always thought of propane as a dignified lady. But she can also be a dirty girl.
