He's played 4 minutes tonight. 0-1 from the field. They lead at Denver 55-54 at halftime

Novak still riding pine for the Clippers in their game

The Jazz game is on ESPN for all of you still awake.

Not sure if Wes will get in anymore

TallTitan34 · « **Reply #3 on:** October 28, 2009, 11:22:18 PM »

Its damn close plus hes wearing a t-shirt now.

Congrats to Wes. Hope he gets a chance this year to show what he can do.

I hope he gets another chance in this game.

They just showed Wes' pink travel backpack he has to carry all year for rookie hazing.

Wes said, "Hey it's only 41 days of my life".

I am a Jazz fan right now, but they are down...

TallTitan34 · « **Reply #8 on:** October 28, 2009, 11:53:53 PM »

With the run the Nuggets are on, Wes might see some garbage minutes at the end of this one.

Warrior · « **Reply #9 on:** October 28, 2009, 11:57:48 PM »

It looks like Wesley should be in right now.

TallTitan34 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 29, 2009, 12:03:08 AM »

The Jazz completely fell apart in the 4th. It was a close game for 3 quarters now they are down 20.

Great videos YoungMUFan!

The baby blue jerseys cost the Jazz the game.

That is just tremendously great to see.

Wes had a good game for the 4 minutes he was in the games.
He set up Milsap for an easy lay up and played very strong defense. He is a much better defender than ronnie price.
Him being -6 on the floor had nothing to do with Wes, but weak defending around him.

It was happy to see how well he played for his first minutes as a pro. He could be utilized as a good bench player for the jazz

I don't know if I like the +/- stat for basketball. I like it in hockey, but I'm not sure on basketball.

Actually, I like it. I've kind of mentally done that over the years. Usually my observations have been correct. A guy like Bernard Toone made dumb mistakes, but MU always seemed to expnad its leads or come back when he was on the court coming off the bench. The logic seems to work better re guys coming off the bench.

mugrad99 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 29, 2009, 11:58:45 AM »

say palyers ABCDE expand the lead by4
ABCDF- expand lead by 2
BCDFG- lose lead by 3

and so on for all combinations during the game. Then devise a formula based on those stats, rather than just an individual +/-, which does not factor in who a player is playing with?

Looks like NBA.com doesn't have him official yet:

Try to click his name on the box score to see his player card. Notice when you hover over the links for other players that there is real web URL for them but poor wes doesn't have one.

Makes more sense when it's viewed on a season-long basis than within an individual game, really.

way to go wes, good for him he deserves this. I think he worked the hardest out of the three to get where he is.

My wife said that Hubie and the crew gave him quite a bit of love during the broadcast.

An undrafted free agent with an NBA player father making the team and playing 5 minutes on opening night is definitely worth mentioning.
