Message: [QUOTE="LwrcasefaN, post: 4210402, member: 11185"] YOU SAID...the flow gets reset once the core players reenter the game and that the flow is disrupted by substitutions. Not disputing that certain players off the bench can bring different assets. But every team has some form of offensive and or defensive identity and all I'm saying is if someone is part of that core...more than likely they would be a starter. Maybe I don't understand what you're saying, but I can read what you wrote. The loss of a player can certainly impact a team on either or both ends of the floor. And there are different ways to measure that loss because...they aren't all equal. I have the utmost respect for these kids, but let's be honest it's hard for most people to believe that her absence would just cause a downward spiral in any top 25 team...and beyond. If you could win without Suarez or Burrell, then why would anyone remotely accept that Green's loss was so critical? In the event that she was as critical as being asserted, then I apologize. I honestly thought that her role was to go in for Key who couldn't stay out of foul trouble. [/QUOTE]
