    For one thing not nearly enough time has passed to determine if the team's new strength and conditioning program is having any effect on injuries whatsoever, so you can go ahead and drop "science" from your little picture and add "speculation."

    As I pointed out in the OP, I am speculating, as I stated it is early in the season. Just like everything we post about here from chemistry to records and how good the team really is, it's obviously all speculation. However, the post is very much about the science behind strength and conditioning and how a more modern and scientific approach MAY be having an effect on early season success. To say that the strength and condition program has no effect on how the team has played and it's early success with injury prevention is ignorant of the obvious, and shows a shortsighted understanding of how professional athletes function.

    I find it humorous that on a basketball discussion board, so many people would rather be ignorant to the reality of the sport, and would rather cry about made up jinx and curse. It's akin to getting upset about discussion of climate science or economic issues because if we don't talk about it, things will get better on their own.

    So yes, since reading comprehension is in short supply today, it is speculation... About the potential effects of a science. :beatinto:

    I don't give a shit about jinxes and curses.

    My point is that it's far too early to even bring this up. If the Blazers magically have a near injury free season then it's maybe worth looking at, but right now this article and speculation is beyond premature.
