I can't find info on Yahoo!, but I'm curious.
The B\Ball box scores now have a +/- category and a BA cat.
Can anyone tell me what they are?

I'm pretty sure this is the first year the NBA has kept these stats officially. +/- is the difference in points scored by the team when a player is on the floor. For example, if Lebron James plays 40 minutes in a game and the Cavs score 15 more points than the Bucks during his 40 minutes on the floor, his +/- for that game is +15.

BA stands for blocks against. It shows how many times a player's shot is blocked during a game.

All I need is a belt to prove it and I'll be set!

I've been meaning to ask somebody what the hell those mean, thanks!

The blocks against is kind of a neat stat to know, but I dont know how I feel about the +/- one yet.
