    who lost 5 rotation players due to injuries in the same season, of which at least 2 were starters (3 if you count Oden as one)?

    I believe that is what happened to New Orleans a couple of years back, and got jackhammered.

    Utah juggled their lineup quite a bit last year w/ all the injuries they had. Their injuries weren't as severe though since many came back towards end of the season.

    Can we just combine rosters with Golden St. and contract them from the league for this season since at this time we have the better record? Is there any such exemption in the CBA?

    If it gets any deeper, we're going to need a periscope to watch the games.

    They might struggle to win 20 games THIS year, and they aren't hit with many injuries.

    Plus, I don't think their injuries (talent level, etc) compares.

    I don't pay enough attention to other teams... but this just seems over the top. Having two centers crash to the floor with their kneecaps in the wrong place... I am sure there are many cases where both centers were out... but I don't recall anything like this.

    This thread raises an interesting question. How long do franchises tend to hold onto the same medical staff? They seem to outlast coaching and even front office regimes, but I could be wrong. The reason I ask is because certain teams seem to be hammered year in and year out by injuries (i.e. Golden State and Washington, going back longer than I can remember), while others sail on by. It could just be perception being biased by how significant the injuries are, who knows.

    Both Przybilla and Oden went down wearing the red jersey and after playing Miami the game before.
