What is the AutoTrader.com +/- Stat?
The AutoTrader.com +/- stat shows the power of teamwork. It's a way of showing the best-engineered/best combination of players on the court. The +/- stat is a statistic that looks at the point differential when players are both in and out of the game, to see how the team performs with various combinations. The +/- stat can look at a variety of combinations including the best two player, three player and even five player combinations for each game.

Basically, we scored 20 less points while I was on the court; be that through poor offense or I let my man run plays etc., (being the PG I need to really have my +/- stat as a positive).

Not a bad game from my short time on. 5 assists and 3 steals, only second to Culli.

You lazy bums always busy with novels & other books.

Some good individual performances there but we couldn't quite do it.

How long am I out injured? I hate being a towel waver!

 

[Varun]

For the whole season. You weren't active, I suppose?

Abhishek Sharma close to the hoop, just about to power it down!

Review : Boiling down to a high scoring thriller in the end, this game exposed the Achilles' heel in the Hoopstarz's attack - turnovers. The game saw, from their point guards, the most careless handling of the ball, both of them accruing 7 turnovers each - even worse for Truman Lee, who only played for 16 minutes. Dorell Wright and Radmanovic exploited this weakness, and garnered a handful of steals. But the real star of the show was Monta Ellis, who proved to be a nightmare for the Hoopstarz. In 36 minutes, he scored 34 points, along with 6 assists and 2 steals. Steph Curry did well to support him, so did Wright. David Lee and Andris Biedrins, however had a bad day, as intermittent personal fouls saw them in and out of the field.

Despite the horrendous day handling the ball, Aaron Raven and Ollie Holden impressed the spectators with their persevering play. Raven played a well rounded game, scoring 24 points - 8/12 field goals, and 10 boards and 3 blocks. Ollie scored useful 23 points. Among the starters, Madhur Verma and Brendon Hedger seemed to be out of their touch. Hoopstarz, however, seemed to improve a lot in their free throw shooting, after the debacle from the line in the last match

With 2 warmups being done, the Hoopstarz are back to home for their third encounter, with the Los Angeles Clippers. Comparatively weaker than the Warriors, but Blake Griffin, the talented rookie, can cause havoc for the Hoopstarz. The Hoopstarz, on the other side, will be looking to minimize their turnovers, like they minimized their free throw misses in this. Dwayne Johnson will be back from his injury as well. What will happen? Only time will tell.​

I really like your presentation style and no doubt your writing is very good. Keep it up mate!

 

[AbhishekS]

14 points in just 18 minutes, shows how dominant I am when compared to some of the other players.

And the videos are great, Varun. Loved 'em all.

bunch of good shots by the hoopstars.

 

[MaD]

Darn, I wasn't really in form that game, but it was pretty close, we need to stop these games from slipping away.

Nice update

 

[ARay]

I guess its a good thing the flaws are getting exposed at this point. It will help us have a better run during the season.

 

[Deleted member 13648]

Don't expect blow-outs, guys. This is the NBA.

 

[Varun]

Should switch the starters for the next match?

 

[Gaurav_7]

Umm, how did I do? :o Actually, I don't get a thing.
