OK, how would you characterize our injury record over the last six years?
Do you think it's been higher or lower than the average before?

I think it's been more guys playing injured than I ever recall before, and that's not good for either the player or the team.  That's just one reason I would like to see a bit deeper rotation.

I think tired players tend to get hurt more often.  
I think playing injured players instead of healthy ones creates mismatch problems within games as the other coach notices that a guy cannot move a certain way, or move well.

I understanding leaning on your best players, but if your best players have shortcomings, you have to use other guys to fill in those missing skills that a well rounded team needs.

And if your starters can't give you what you need, you're foolish not to try out some of the other guys on your bench, just to see what they can give you in a game.  Sometimes players surprise you.  It happens.
