You have a strong opinion but it doesn´t look like you actually want to discuss the topic.Yep, you’re right about that. I disliked showing the best stretch of the season with the longest winning streak by far that we had for the year and using it as evidence against Wood’s games. It, to me, dismisses all the terrible losses we had while Powell was the starting C (2 Cha losses anyone?) as if there aren’t many to choose from.
You are right, I do need to figure out what about a post triggers me and not insert what I think is common sense into the argument. That does get me in trouble more than I like. I really can’t understand why others can’t see Powell’s body of work as a starter as a complete negative that can never happen again (outside injury issues…and then…maybe).
The reason the record is the best way to track this particular debate is because first, it’s the ultimate team stat for a team game. In 2 years from now, nobody will care why the team came together and fought for eachother during that 13 game stretch that had our best winning streak of the season. We have been a team this year that could have just as easily lost many of those games and not kept the winning streak alive. Was it players being put in their best positions to succeed? What does it matter during a season of so much failure? It happened and wasn’t allowed a chance after.
