Since you've been following the league for so long, I'm surprised you don't know that voting for league awards takes place at the close of the regular season.

I'm better than Mulli!
Man I thought we won our battle with Paul’s shoulder.

I'm just hoping the Suns get Chris Paul back and he is ready for the series opener in the WCFs.

More testing to be done on Kawhi Leonard after swelling goes down.

Ugh. Guess I'll have to root for my 2nd fave team the Suns now.
Injuries to the game's biggest stars are out of control. Kawai is at least the 8th different All Star to miss a playoff game this year so far (Leonard, Davis, Harden, Irving, Mitchell, Conley, Brown, Embiid - Paul would be the 9th, granted not thru injury). It's getting to be too much to be a coincidence. The league really needs to look into this, there needs to be more days off between games or something.

This day is turning out to be apocalyptic. Everyone stay home and be careful!
Is this post the reason for the cp3 news?!
Or back it up a bit and think that these guys are getting injured because of their lack of conditioning throughout a season by taking time off the way the superstars do. Lack of consistency with training can cause these types of potential issues IMO.

LOL @ lack of conditioning. These are the most fit and trained athletes in the world, there are no fatties in the league anymore, no Barkley's smoking cigars and gambling all night before a game. The game is being played at a faster pace than ever, and the rules, especially defensively (no hand checking, etc.), make them work harder and be more precise than previous generations.
Did I say otherwise?... I mentioned that some of the superstars, as you implied, are at the fate of alot of these injuries. Where's the real coincidence in these cases? IMO, with these same superstars taking random time off to rest unlike the rest of the players in the league.

Not buying it. The real cooincendence is that stars play the most minutes, especially at playoff time. You are a lot less likely to get injured on the bench or only playing 5 or 10 minutes.
Well.. you're kinda making my point. The load of minutes they now play in the postseason, their bodies are not ready for because of the lack of time on the court prior during the reg season. I think that is important. But it's cool. Agree to disagree.
This one was purely being a victim of father time. Donnie's days of building a team in the new age of the game were numbered anyhow IMO.
Injuries are right around where they've been the last few years. We're not seeing significantly more or less across the board. I think there is a little more attention being paid to them currently because there are more.teams with a legit shot at a title than years past so every missed game is viewed as more detrimental, or beneficial, than usual.
Right now there are 6 teams with legit shots at being champions. It'll be a toss up in the conference finals on both sides. I could see any team other than Atlanta winning it all. I can't recall the last time things seemed that open.
Here's some research done by the league on injuries this year from before the regular season ended.
