re: Trey Murphy is good at basketball

While I really don't think looking into stats from this year does much of anything, I found a rather interesting stat today after thinking about why we aren't winning games when Trey goes off like he did last night. Not only are we not winning, but we're losing by double digits still. Just seems odd.

Here's our record when we've got one of our main guys scoring 26+.
Trey 1-8 (4 double digit losses) 1 of the 9 games resulted in a positive +/- and 2 were 0
Zion 1-5 (2 blowouts and two 9 point losses) 4 of the 6 were negative +/-
Murray 2-5 (2 double digit losses) 4 of the 7 were positive +/-
CJ 4-7 (4 double digit losses) 6 of the 11 were negative +/- or 0
BI 4-4 (3 double digit losses) 5 of the 8 were negative +/- or 0


Trey had 35, Zion had 29, Murray had 27, and we lost to Dallas by 1
Trey had 41 last night, CJ had 35, and we lost by 12
Trey had 35, CJ had 32, and we lost by 8 to Memphis
Trey had 30, Murray had 26 and we lost by 1 to Boston

The one game we won where multiple people had good games was when CJ had 45, Murray had 26 and Trey had 24 against a depleted Jazz team at home, and we only won by 4, in OT.


It's just astonishing to me how we can have guys have these great games, and we still aren't winning, and most of the time we're still getting killed. I mean Trey went off last night, and CJ chips in 35, and we were never really in the game.


Last year using same criteria of 26+ points:
CJ 13-2
Zion 19-10
BI 11-7

Trey 8-0 with an average margin of victory of 20 points



and no i'm not bashing Trey in any way, even though i put this long arse post in a thread about Trey, it just has me scratching my head how we aren't even competitive in games when Trey's going off, but you can say the same for everyone else as well.
