Alex Caruso’s performance last night was prima facie evidence of why plus/minus stats can often be irrelevant. Not only did Alex have a zero game offensively, he was terrible defensively, a step slow and beaten numerous times for easy baskets. To his credit, he was obviously not himself due the neck injury and should not have played as many minutes as he did. We will need more from him going forward so hopefully he will get time to heal and get 100%. At any rate, Alex hurt us more than helped us last night.
