Dame and Giannis: +/- over 8 games (alien.top)

There seems to be a starling (though perhaps not unsurprising) pattern when comparing Dame and Giannis's +/- .

So far this season, Dame has average more minutes (nearly 4) than Giannis (33.25 v 29.6).

However, Giannis +/- is standing at 3.75, whereas Dame's is in the negative: -6.75

Outside of their very first game of the season (in which the +/- differential was in favor of Dame by 25 points), Giannis's +/- has been more than (or in one case equal to) Dame's.

In fact, despite the fact that Giannis was behind 25 points after the first game, there is a 10.5 differential in +/- between the two in favour of Giannis (it would be 15 if the first game were not counted).

See a break down in the table below.

So how does one explain this or account for this? What are the reasons for such a drastic differential given that the two share most of their minutes together and despite the fact that there is such a small differential in the minutes played (3.6)?

Thoughts?

	Minutes: Dame	Minutes: Giannis	Difference (in favour of Dam)	+/- (Dame)	+/- (Giannis)	+/- Difference in favour of Giannis
PHI	37	35	2	12	-13	-25

MIA	35	21	14	2	18	16
TOR	30	27	3	-26	-10	16
NYK	36	35	1	2	13	11
BRK	34	35	-1	-14	15	29
DET	33	21	12	5	5	0
CHI	32	34	-1	-6	13	19
Averages	33.25	29.6	3.6	-6.75	3.75	10.5

It's like 3 bad games where the stats skew the results, things will be fine in another 15 to 20 games and they should start a winning streak

I do hope they lose to my Celtics this month in a blowout though, it would be comforting

You guys will. You're looking like the real deal 10 games in..

Small sample size and overreaction. The usual.

Wasn't a reaction. Was a series of question.

The overreaction seems to be YOUR reaction to the post, which was obviously written without a comprehension of the post.

But hey... don't let me undermine your overreaction :-) I know how opposed to them you ironically are.

Usual for people on this subreddit.

Jeeze relax

It would be more useful to see +/- based on time of floor together / one on / the other off.
