What is the best way to handle all these injuries?

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%

Well, number 1, I agreed with you. Number 2, good for you for for forgetting when we sucked and only looking to the future. Number 3, I'm fine with shutting up, I've got guys like you to speak for me.

Don't forget Felger.  He may not have the classic appeal of Donny Marshall, but he does his best

Injuries affect all teams...even the Lakers. I saw on Silver Screen and Roll that there is some concern with both Bynum and Gasol.

Both of them had some "tweaks" today in the DEN game.

For the most part, I think Doc has been masterful with the starter's minutes....especially Paul. He has been awesome this year...he's played in every game this year, right?

I think that going forward - our most important spots - backup PG, SG, SF and PF - have given us good minutes this year - allowing our starters to stay healthy for the most part.
