Why does Flip continue to play Evans and Delfino together?

The stats clearly show the combo did not work vs Cleveland. The game showed it had little to do with them playing together and alot to do with them not making shots.

It's pretty silly to draw a conclusion like this from such a small sample size, hell it's pretty silly to draw any conclusions from a stat line at all.

To prove my point, I went to 82games.com's player pair stats. It shows team plus/minus while a certain duo is on the court per 48 minutes. Here are some of the stats of the player combos at the 2/3.

Rip/Prince: +11
Delfino/Rip: +8
Evans/Rip: +3
Delfino/Prince: +10
Evans/Prince: +13
Delfino/Evans: -12

Those stats are for the whole year.

So just because something doesn't work right away, means you can't try, right? Those guys won't ever develop chemistry because they suck or something...
