I’m not too crazy at the +/- stats. He had the best +/- for us last night but I wouldn’t say he was iur best player.
Nah he wasn't the best player but he just brings more to the table than Bryant. Love in limited minutes at the 5 is the ideal role for him at this stage of his career. Trying to have him play with bam was never going to work due to defensive side of the ball
He keeps this up and his contract looks like a value. Tip of the cap to the guy. He had his minutes taken from him but he was ready to perform when injuries put him back in the playoff rotation. And the next step was he got back in the lab driven by the lost minutes and worked on his game. I haven’t seen him a lot but from what I’ve seen he looks better off the bounce than I remember him being. It used to be that if you made him put it on the floor he was lost.
Fuck you Doc Rivers. I look at this current group of Sixers and they’d benefit from having Bassey as the Embiid back up, BBall Paul playing forward and Joe coming off the bench to give them shooting and defensive length.
+/- is a flawed stat. At the same time, what it does reveal is that in his minutes you can play winning basketball. For me, that’s one of the most important things for a role player/bench player to possess.
You’re right, Bryant is the better bucket getter, but Love has been more valuable for us.
Should be Harden on the bench instead.
Honestly I think this is Russ asking for non Harden minutes.
