Mid-game posting?

I thought I was the only one who did not understand.

Exactly! I get jokes, I'm with you CW, Minus Trillion indeed, hahahaha
I totally understand. You're not crazy, everyone else is for not getting it!

(Actually just as confused as everyone else, no idea what CW is talking about. Perhaps he's just seeing too many blow-out losses by our joke of a franchise - currently down by 23 to formerly laughable Memphis. Best to be gentle in this "talking him down from the ledge" situation)

Sometimes when you click the boxscores they aren't updated even though the game is actually over. That's what must have happened here, and since I wasn't sober at the time I didn't notice they weren't the final stats. Anyways, at some point Thabeet had a Trillion going with some solid minutes on the court, but he was also like -8 or something for his plus/minus stat. It's pretty impressive to get a Trillion in over 5 minutes of action and also have a massive deficit in the plus/minus department as well.

Hence, a legitimate "Minus-Trillion."

That explains the minus. How do you get a "trillion"?

What? You are surprised that I am not following along adequately to understand what everyone is talking about? If I wanted to speak intelligently about every subject discussed I would be on another forum.

Hmmm yeah, good point. And don't get me wrong, I wasn't annoyed or anything like that.

Carry on.
