GDT: Mavs @ Lakers 01/26/16 9:30pm CT

[TheSportyChannel]

Lakers 58 Mavs 56 at the half. Pathetic performance by the team vs the worst team in the NBA. No defense at all. This team is a sure fire 1st round exit if they don't make some trades before the deadline. Oh yea Chandler Parsons again with the worst +/- on the team at the half at -9 for all you stat freaks. Does Parsons really help this team or is it just EMPTY STATS?

How the hell are we losing to the Lakers. Embarrassing.

Pretty sure most "stat freaks" understand that -9 in just 17 minutes means squat... The +/- stat only holds relevance over a large sample size, not to mention that it's 100% dependent on the other 4 players in a given lineup.

+- is more of a lineup stat than an individual stat.

For the year btw Dwill is -0.3, Parsons is -0.1... Just to show you how meaningless that stat can be when viewed as an individual stat. Dwill is our 2nd best clutch player this year but is worse than Parsons in +-... and Parsons is coming off major surgery where he only recently was playing well, what's Dwill's excuse?
