Jesus so many NBA teams are suffering mass shortages in their roster, if not by injury, by suspension (Nuggets). So many stars have fallen and so many key role players have also gotten injured especially with my Wizards. (Etan Thomas, Brendan Haywood, Darius Songaila, Micheal Ruffin : All our big men). Alot of superstars have gotten hit with this too, Chauncey Billups, Paul Pierce, Yao Ming, Chris Paul, Lamar Odom, and others. This could be the key to some teams recent wins. It's killed my fantasy team (I had Yao/Pierce) now its biting into my Wizards. This has to go away soon its getting annoying. Everyone's thoughts?
Yeah it's crazy. :shok: Al least it's not just a few teams experiencing this, evens out basically everywhere.I bet if the players from the brawl didn't get suspended they would be injured.
At CL they made a list of all the noteworthy players who have gotten injured.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Kobe BryantLamar OdomSam CassellChris BoshTJ FordJason RichardsonMonta EllisTroy MurphyChris PaulDavid WestPejaTMacYaoBonzi WellsKirk SnyderShaqDwadeRichard JeffersonPaul PierceChauncey BillupsJosh HowardMarcus CambyNenad KristicRasheed WallaceJermaine O'NealJosh SmithJosh ChildressJoe JohnsonSpeedy ClaxtonPau GasolKenyon MartinRay AllenRashard Lewis</div>That's just unreal.

It's crazy though. The only thing I can remember like this was back in 2004 when for like 3 months the Lakers whole starting five never suited up together. And at least one of the big four was out every game.

All that means is that we get to see other players step up. I know that it might be less entertaining, and that records and what not might be different, but I like to see other people rise to the occassion and get a chance to play. I hadnt seen Brian Cook for the Lakers play all year until Lamar came down with the injury. Other players are just going to have to step up....All teams have to deal with injuries.

When a Piston gets injured long term - you know something is wrong. No piston has missed more than like 3-4 games for like the past 3-4 years.
Dirk almost was hurt badly but is okay haha suckers!Nah, but seriously... I think Stack is the only guy that's having issues right now. Josh Howard was out for two weeks early in the season. Not too bad so far, and I hope it stays that way. I'm glad Dirk came out okay, especially.Edit: Apparently Dirk is out with a sinus infection tonight, though. Crap!
