What is the best way to handle all these injuries?

[Eja117]

Personally if I'm Doc I'm trying to bring in a local girls college team to practice with them and saying "Well we wanted to bring in the boys, but we thought one of you would get hurt."

When was the last time an old team with constant injuries won a ring? Or the year after? Never, right?

None of the big 4 are injured and none of the current roster have any season ending injuries.

That's all that really matters at this point. It ain't over till it's over so stop with this negativity.

Beer.  Lots of beer.

Even the big 4 need a center over 6ft 8 that can play more than 12 minutes without getting hurt.

I can't think of one off the top of my head. Perhaps one of the old teams from the 70's or 60's. But not modern teams.

Unless Dr. McCoy or Crusher come along and heal this team then I think it's probably over. Now way they can take the Lakers down. If they even make it to LA.

to post as many negative comments as possible, degrade your team and start threads about how bad the trade is. It's reverse psychology, I think.

The team can't make bad trades and pass them off as good, show no effort in losses to inferior teams, and show the toughness of a pacifist and expect all positive threads. It doesn't work that way.

I agree. Us thinking positive or negative won't change a thing with the team.
If you're happy with things then be happy.
If you're not then say why.

This place would be rather dull if everyone was happy with everything all the time.

You guys are absolutely right. I will always remember the 90's and how awful we were--just to be in the position to go back to the playoffs and contend for a title and still have a shot at it, reminds me how I should be thankful that we are even relevant right now. So yeah, I will always stay as positive as I can, and I'll just let everyone else tear it down.

I absolutely refuse to use the 90s as any kind of a measuring stick for the future.  That's like saying "Oh you stupid American. You shouldn't be unhappy with the state of the economy. The Depression was much worse and the Reconstruction Era was even worse than that!"   Just because there were totally incompetent people "running" the team back then doesn't mean we should just shut up when the current team doesn't give 100%

Being relevant isn't important to me.
The ONLY thing that matters is winning a Championship.
