    What is the classic saying?

    "If you're under a voodoo curse, give Anthony Davis to the Blazers"

    Good thing the Pelicans have an Anthony Davis to break the curse.

    Sounds familiar. We've been there -- we've done that. Problem might have more to do with their medical staff. Not sure how accurate, but I heard in a podcast a few weeks back that they share some medical and training personnel with the Saints, the NO football team.

    If that's true, then that's your problem right there. Completely different injuries and completely different preventative stuff is required with these sports, We overhauled our staff a few years back. They might need to do that to get with the times.

    Yeah supposedly our training staff had major problems and its not a coincidence we've had less injuries since Olshey overhauled it.

    I've heard the Bulls staff might be the current worst and look how many injuries they have every year.

    "Burning sage." Is that what they're calling smoking pot these days? I'm getting old and it's hard for me to keep up.

    I think that's what they called it in the 60's too.

    Yeah. I don't understand organizations who make sure they hire the best staff overall. You're already paying the's guys millions and they haven't even stepped on the hardwood yet.

    But on the other hand..... if this guy is cursing your team.
