    Actually no, they weren't stated. First of all you stated a question, but then when I answered, you made it a "moving question" where you injected all sorts of assumptions that you had made, but not posted. It's flat out impossible to answer a moving question, and I don't want to play your games.

    Wow, you don't like to admit you're wrong, do you?

    Original quote: "As for the team believing, the injuries are causing a lot of guys to play major minutes and out of position."

    Me: "Who has played out of position because of injuries? I can't think of anyone other than Roy at the SF, but that was more because Nate refused to bench Nate than because we had injured guys at that position."

    Each subsequent reply restated the above. I don't see how there was anything remotely resembling a moving target. It was a very simple question initially and never changed. You didn't like that I didn't buy your answer, even when I explained that you didn't actually answer the question...

    The reason I believe the question to be significant is the original quote shows that the team is in denial. They are placing the blame (for their struggles) on injuries when in fact lineups are more due to coaching decisions. They can't solve the problem by looking the other way.
