Big Baby is the problem...More minutes for Williams

[vinnie]

Baby is definitely not the problem or even a big problem on this team. However, any player in the NBA that gets 24 percent of his shots blocked is highly suspect. That stat alone negates a lot of the good.

The numbers don't lie - take a look

Adjusted +/- says the same. The problem is that the sample size is only 300 minutes, thats too small to be statistically signifigant.

Yup, not to mention the problem I mentioned before about comparing players who were in and out of the rotation of a team that has been very up and down.  Williams played the vast majority of his minutes, when the rest of the team were playing dramatically better, and the team had the best point differential in the league.  Davis has played most of his minutes on a team that is in complete disarray, and playing terrible.  And I really don't think there could be any argument that Williams is the reason the team was winning, or that Davis is the reason the team is losing now.  So basically, the numbers are bunk.

i think we are probably showcasing Baby.  I don't think Baby wants to be in Boston and I don't think Boston wants him either.

I agree, I think we are showcasing Baby and Ray, and after the trade deadline attitudes on this team will change and the focus will finally be on winning games.

Can we please auto-ban anyone who says "The numbers don't lie"?

+/- can lie quite a bit.  I believe Kevin Durant was in the negative for +/- last season.  So he must be a terrible player huh?
