It's grossly wrong and shouldn't have been cited.

If you go by minutes played Yes but if you look at the season objectively no way.


How moronic to believe a stat like that! Core rotation goes 9men deep. Some consider it 8 and others consider it 10. So here's what you have....


According to MP

true&season=2&seasonYear=2007&split=0

6. J. Jeffries 82-52=30(3gms left)=27
3. D. Lee 82-58=24
4. J. Crawford 82-58=24
8. N. Robinson 82-61=19(3gms left)=16
11. M. Rose 82-62=20(3gms left)=17
9. R. Balkman 82-68=14
2. E. Curry 82-78=4(3gms left)=1
1. S. Marbury 82-74=8
7. C. Frye 82-69=13(3gms left)=10
5. Q. Richardson 82-49=33
10. S. Francis 82-41=41(3gms left)=38



I ranked them according to who I feel are the players in the 9 man rotation. The only debatable player is Francis but most feel he's Gangreen so I ranked him considerably low. Also Steve was told to go away and was going to be bought out. He never was really part of ISAYUGH's main guys. I'm writing off Marbury and Balkman as done this yr. So if you add 1-9's injuries you get 157. Nate and Jeffries skew that total a bit but remember the Brawl was a self inflicted action there's no way you give mercy points because of what resulted because that was the risk taken. So Jeffries games missed total would be about half and Nate's would be Nill.


If you swap out Balkman or Nate for Francis you get the 175gm total + a few games

That number is meaningless without knowing what the number is for other teams. It also should be weighted so that games missed by starters count more than reserves because starters almost always are more important players than reserves.

Bonn I didn't bother posting numbers from other teams because it would be a total case closed situation. I was just trying to address the 175gm total. Any fan who paid attention to the season knows our team injuries are average to less significant compared to other teams in the league.
