    They've had tons of injuries as well to Evans, Bayless, Calderon, Weems, etc, and now Kleiza goes down for the season. Then an international source comes up with this, citing negligence on part of the Raps' staff.

    I wonder if there are any parallels to draw from this revelation about how their medical staff was not giving credence to a player's own admissions of pain.... to our situation.

    Jay Jensens Canadian cousin, Wayne, works for the Raptors. Oddly enough, Bobby Medinas Canadian cousin also works for them, his name is Wayne too.

    Boy that sounds like the way we used to run our training staff in the 70s. A dynasty crumbled to dust because the medical staff's response to everything was to give a painkiller injection or tell them to play through the pain.

    Toronto has had one of the most injury plagued teams for the last decade-plus. IIRC they even set a new benchmark for total games missed due to injury in 2005 or thereabouts.

    I wonder how many of those injuries were caused by Toronto's vibrant Turkish culture?
