I agree. I think +/- is only useful to supplement individual performances that you observed. In this case Temple was attacking DDJ on almost every play down the stretch and I think it showed in his +/-. Even then it was more of a problem with our coaching than DDJ. But you can't just look at +/- and assume anything because each player is only 20% of the action on the court. There is way too much noise over the season. Using it to grade entire 5-man lineups might be more useful.
