so, you guys can tell me how to use it..
what should i think when i see a boxscore like this..? --> http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore;_ylt=Atm7sOCBWiv1gbz...


Well, its like any other basketball statistic -- if a guy goes 1-6 from the field, I don't bench him. But over the course of a number of games, if the guys has an unusually good or bad +/-, then I begin to think he might be contributing something that some of the other stats don't measure (usually defense, decision-making or something).

How can you say that you don't find it useful without knowing how to use it...

Nah there is no formula whatsoever to extract the useful data out of it. It's to compare what player mix the winning mix was, and who contributed to the lead momentum. It's pretty useful if you wanna find out who is exactly spoiling it for the rest of the team or who is the winning factor of the team. Which is pretty useful if you don't really know who is contributing what.

i thought that there can be a special way to calculate player contributions by adding/subtracting the numbers..
if there's not, i don't find it helpful..
more information is needed (like; which teammates were playing at the same time) to make use of it..

There are lots of stats, including those for 5-man units, at http://www.82games.com.

Obviously, 5-man unit rating would be a difficult and extensive calculation. Individual player +/- is really easy.
