Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 2236589, member: 1423"] I"m not saying the injuries were the ONLY reason -- in case you're making the same straw man argument as Doc5. I recognize, as Jordoo posted, that the guys we had left (with 2 exceptions) were flawed players. And obviously, the guys that were injured had their issues. But the losses were still significant in terms of experience, depth and rebounding. You don't lose your starting senior center, a backup center who's 7'2, and a back up PF -- leaving only 6 serviceable players on the team -- and not struggle. Would we have struggled without the injuries ... probably some but not as much (IMO). We could have played DC/Chukwu and let TL play his natural position, with TT backing him up and Moyer providing depth. Clearly, attributing all the problems to injuries would be overstating the case. But dismissing the injuries as non-factors is just wrong. [/QUOTE]
