Not surprisingly, people think they are smarter than they are. No one watching a game on TV notices various things that contribute to a team winning and losing. Frankly, if you watch a lot of basketball, even at the high school level there are many coaches who can't tell you why their teams are better with certain players on the court. But those things to exist. Positioning, confidence of teammates, making other players better, etc., etc.
Yes, it's quite possible you can be having a good game but your teammates aren't playing well, or hitting shots, when you're in and your plus/minus is not reflective of how you play. But if that is happening every game, it shows that you shouldn't be playing as much. And thinking the disparity shown above doesn't exist just because you can't figure out why the team should be so much worse with TO on the court reflects on those who won't accept the analysis, because these numbers speak for themselves.
Well said - I agree. Keep in mind the next negative guy that game was -8. So Tyler was -7 worse than the next poorest guy. Boatright was -8 with a bad wrist.
