The +/- statistic is one of the stupidest stats. There is a reason why analysts never talk about it. Only hater fans try to implement it to try and support their weak arguments. You don't blame one player for defense, rather the entire team for it. Raptor fans love to hate on the good players but love the bum ones who can't win games for you. This is why you guys will always remain fans and no where near teams unless its as a garbage man. Because you'd have starting lineups as Jake Voshkul, Pops Mensau- Bonsu, Reggie Evans, Derrick Martin, and Sonny Weems. Yes their hustle players, and you can appreciate that, but when you SUCK, what else can you really do but try? Sumtin' to think about.

Lets change the rules of the game.
Team with most missed shots wins.
In addition when you are one of the wost in the league and the worst or second worst on your team there is a problem especially when you start.Avatar: Riverboat Coffee House 134 Yorkville Ave. billboard of upcoming entertainers - Circa 1960s

and stop trading andrea at 8.5 mil he's a bargain at the moment
But don't accuse me of being a fan of bargnani. The guy is lazier than a past date limp cucumber most nights. About as soft too.

In the immortal words of Denny Green, this team is what I thought it was. They are a young team that might have talent that are going to be wildly inconsistent and anyone waiting for Bargnani to be a 'franchise player' will have to keep waiting. No one needs to be traded or moved or shot or whatever. Right now, they just aren't a good team. Whether it's because they need time because they are young or just not talented, we'll just have to see. I suspect it is the latter, but whatever. What I suspect this game confirms however is that if Bargnani isn't scoring, he's not exactly helping the team win in different ways and that's something a franchise player (hell, even a Carlos Boozer type player) can do.
What WAS interesting is that they built a lead in the first half with a Davis-Johnson-DeRozan-Weems-Bayless lineup and while the next time they were out there they didn't look so hot, I have a weird feeling that could be a decent lineup in the future.
And I can't wait until I hear the "See how Calderon is so valuable to this team" chatter, because if he was playing, he would obviously help prevent the likes of Kwame Brown and Nazr Mohammed getting deep post position....

I didn't watch the game last night and while in the restaurant have dinner, I promptly checked the score with 2:44 left in the last quarter. After seeing Nazr Mohammed leading the team in scoring and rebounds, I had one conclusion... Bargs did not eat his magic banana during half time. Can I switch back to my old Avatar?“The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority.” - Martin Luther King

If you look at the loss vs NYK when he had 41, he was minus 8. Look at tonight, he is minus 15.
But in a loss to the Nuggets he was even when most of the other starters were minus double digits.
Versus DET he was minus 1 when DD and WEems were minus 15 and 20.
VS OKC he is +17 when Amir is +7 and JC+8.
OR how about the loss vs. BOS when he is minus 6 and the rest of the starters are minus 19, 18, 13, and 22?
Better yet, how about the win vs. BOS when he is +6 and all the other starters are minus 13, 18, 2, and 19?
Bargnani doesn't need to and shouldn't be traded. Bargnani and the rest of the team need to get better. It is quite easy to pick any player on a lottery bound team and say that player gets out scored when he is on the court - especially the team's leading minutes played.
Geez.
