No Wonder the Cavs are Down. +/- Analysis

Who do you think has the highest +/- rating on the Cavs for their series against Orlando? Lebron, no try again. Moe Williams? No. How about Z, How about ANDERSON VAREJO. Below I will include the table of the numbers and minutes played. Lebron, Z, and Varejo both have a plus minus around 5.5. Lebron, the best player in the league only has a plus/minus of 5.5? Now lets look at their bench. Ben Wallace -10.6. Joe Smith Even. So expalin to me why Joe Smith is playing substantial less in the last few games then Wallace. Is Mike Brown impressed with his Game 4 and 5 performances averging a minus 16? The Cleveland bench is about even in this rating system except for Wallace's -10.6 and Wally World's -8.6.

Originially I was picking the Cavs to make the complete comeback until I looked into these stats. For camparrison lets look at the Magic. The player with the highest plus/minus in the series? Skip to my Lou with a plus 7.6. Dwight Howard is -.5 while Courtney Lee is -1. However, when you look at the Magic bench they are even as a unit. This just goes to show a nother facit of how Cleveland's bench is killing them.

Ill add to this later probably and also will add a Kobe/Lebron better player debate and even add in D Wade.
