There is logic trap built into that question... How are you supposed to determine whether it would have cost us or not?  This is the point I and others have been trying to make regarding bench use...  You don't know what you have because they don't get a chance to prove it...the only way to know for sure is to let players consistently get minutes without the fear of the quick hook to prove that they deserve playing time.

This year our ooc schedule had more name teams on it and we played much closer games against cupcakes which caused JB to tighten his rotation much much earlier than ever. The bench never ever got a chance to prove themselves and I bet  it hurt us  when we had a basically a 6 man rotation which was exhausted and no one could hit a shot and our D gave up points in bunches.  But can I say 100% that is the case, nope

Historically I can point to Josh Pace as an example of a player consigned to few minutes who played because of an injury.  What if the injury never happened and JB never played him as was the plan?  Would we have our 1 title?
