So this injury Danny Granger has -- patellar tendinosis, a degenerative knee condition -- this is the same injury Vince Carter had back when he with the Raptors? And Vince recovered 20-5-5 type seasons.

Are there any other players who have suffered badly or recovered from this injury in recent times?

I'd mentioned this before, but Wade has been successfully managing his "Jumper's Knee" since 2007. Though the injury isn't without its risks.

I hand't realized that Pau Gasol was suffering from patellar tendinosis last season.

Quote
"It's more than tendinitis, it's tendonosis," Gasol said. "There's a degeneration of the tissue, and it's something that I've dealt with all year. So I'll have to do something to regenerate the tissue so I don't have to play with this pain."

Granger missed more time than Gasol but he's also younger and ahead of Pau in his rehab. According to his coach, Frank Vogel:

Quote
"He played some one-on-one stuff. He’s still limited, but he’s on schedule…We’re very encouraged with where he’s at."

Wade has had several MVP caliber since then. That counts for a lot. So Vince + Wade have had stellar seasons after dealing with this injury.

Why are so many people down on Granger's comeback from this injury then?

It is not just on C'blog. There seems to be a lack of optimism about Granger all over.

You would think that a team that pushed Miami to a Game 7 without an 18-20ppg top ten SF in the league ... you would think there would be much more excitement about Granger's return and Indiana's post-season chances next season.

Is there anything different about his injury? Severity of it or anything like that? I tried looking for stuff on the internet but I couldn't find anything.

Steve Nash in the 5th round might be the biggest value pick of the draft.  It still blows my mind that he fell that far.

Nick, whenever the press conference deadline passes, can you let us know which teams are ineligible for the playoffs?  It'll make a lot of tough decisions easier.

The press conferences actually changed my rankings more than I was expecting.  Great job, everyone.

Western Conference

1. Dallas - best combination of offense, defense, and "fit" in the CBNBA
2. Portland - I worry this team is built for the regular season, but I think they cruise until the playoffs
3. Oklahoma City - Great top tier talent, but the wings are underwhelming
4. Minnesota - Lebron and a great defense, but the offense could be spotty
5. Houston - I'm unsure about the firepower up front; Harden is the only guy who consistently excels on offense
6. Golden State - Why, Kane, why?  I wish the trade had never happened, as I think it made some questionable fits worse
7. San Antonio - I love Love and Iggy, and I'm willing to be optimistic on Granger.  I hate McGee, though.
8. Denver - I can't keep two-time champ Anderson Varejao out of the CB Playoffs.  I like this team's depth, and it's got a lot of underrated players
9. LA Lakers - A few too many one-dimensional players
10. LA Clippers - I don't care for the bench, or the fit of Griffin and Gay
11. Memphis - Chris Paul, but the rest of the talent doesn't inspire me.
12. Phoenix - Outside of Duncan and West, I just don't like this team a lot.  They missed their presser, which is reason enough for me not to overthink this

Eastern Conference

1. New York - The best sixth man in the NBA carries NY through the regular season
2. Atlanta - A wildly talented starting lineup
3. Miami - Lots of talented, experienced players led by Tony Parker
4. Cleveland - Probably my favorites to make it out of the East in the playoffs, but KG's minutes limit them in the regular season
5. Indiana - Durant is the best player in the East, and that should be enough to carry Indy to a mid-tier playoff seed
6. Orlando - A really well-constructed team built around Kobe.  If Amare isn't dominant, though, I'm not sure this team will fare much better than the "real" Lakers lately
7. Boston - A little too inexperienced for my liking, but this team's core will be really good in two or three years
8. Chicago -  Why, ronaldo, why?  I wish the trade had never happened, as I think it took your team out of contention
9. Washington - Similar to Boston: lots of talent, but I'm not sure they're ready. 
10. Milwaukee - I'm not a believer in Okafor / Anderson as a playoff front line.  I like their 1 through 3, though.
11. Brooklyn - Another questionable big man situation.  Westbrook and Kawhi are a very nice foundation
12. Detroit - A team clearly focused on the future, but it should win some games in the short term, as well.  Lots of talent.
13.  Philadelphia - See Detroit, except they didn't do a press conference
