BRoy + LMA = 5th best +/- duo

8. Kevin Durant & Jeff Green had the worst +/- for any duo on the floor together in the NBA with -421. Not a great stat for the fake-Sonics as Durant & Green are their leaders and are supposed to work well together. The top-5 duos in order were LBJ & Williams, Bryant & Pau Gasol, Hedo Turkoglu & Rashard Lewis, Rajon Rondo & Ray Allen, and Brandon Roy & LaMarcus Aldridge.

That basically just shows that the Blazers were the 5th best team

Roy&Aldridge both stayed pretty healthy and got a lot of minutes together on the 5th best team, so they ended up with the 5th best +/- (apparently only one duo can be chosen from each team). This doesn’t really say anything about how well Roy and Aldridge themselves performed.

Right, same with Durant and Green

They’re obviously two future stars but the facts that

A) their teammates stunk
B) they played the most minutes on the team

gave them a long time on the floor together with a crappy supporting cast.

It’s the same reason you I would expect to see the +/- of Anderson Varejao and Sasha Pavlovic a lot higher than the +/- of Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler.
