You are looking at wrong numbers. Find the right ones and then they are indeed useful. How many leads they blow. How consistent they are. All you mention is net rating and total points, which is useless in terms of how many games they help winning. You can accumulate in one game ton of points and be terrible in the next ten. Thats exactly what is going on here. Lots of points scored, lots of points they give. One mind blowing game by the bench, and theb many average and bad where they cant keep the leads from the starters. Still the PPG and net rating total looks good. The stretch goes from alomst beginning of the season. It was only in the first games of the season they contributed to winning a lot. Eye test is great and it is backed up by numbers if you find the right ones. The bench doesnt win games for us regularly, and they regularly blow the leads that the starters make. If you find that stat to back it up, then please Id like to see it. And the total bench at the same time, not one bench player coming in when Luka is in.
