Late pass me on this... but this NBA stat is brilliant. It basically helps you figure out the best 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 player combinations for +/- scoring over the total amount of player minutes. It's pure great. For example:

Top Four-Player Combinations
Player 1 Player 2 Player 3 Player 4 Team + - +/- Min +/- /Min G
K. Garnett R. Allen P. Pierce K. Perkins Celtics 1,177 -921 256 546:03 .468 25
K. Garnett P. Pierce K. Perkins R. Rondo Celtics 1,171 -917 254 539:44 .470 25
R. Allen P. Pierce K. Perkins R. Rondo Celtics 1,196 -946 250 542:16 .461 25
K. Garnett R. Allen K. Perkins R. Rondo Celtics 1,071 -838 233 494:03 .471 23
K. Garnett R. Allen P. Pierce R. Rondo Celtics 1,263 -1,046 217 582:10 .372 24
R. Wallace C. Billups R. Hamilton T. Prince Pistons 1,069 -878 191 495:49 .385 26
A. McDyess C. Billups R. Hamilton T. Prince Pistons 1,234 -1,050 184 579:08 .317 29

It's amazing that the Celtics totally dominate this particular stat... but with a big 3 like they have, it's no shocker. Check out the Lenovo +/- stat here: http://www.nba.com/statistics/lenovo/lenovo.jsp
