There are a lot of injuries that is happening now, maybe they are getting more physical now.
Is this a result of weak teams who just improve this season? Kristap Porzingis is just starting to be popular, after Melo, he took over
and in fact they have a good record so far, I hope he can stay healthy the rest of the season.
I might agree. Every games played are forced and if you will noticed there are lots of teams today showing unexpected performance. This season is really unpredictable that's why I can't imagined some of the post-ers here that saying easilyt
"GSW will be the champion" "Cavaliers will be the champion" "Celtics will be the champion" etc. Im a long time NBA enthusiast but I look at this season as different.
Porzingis is likely to play on Sunday if he feels it's ok to play.
I saw the video on Blake a few days ago, however Kristap and Jokic, will try to look at it later. I think injuries are becoming prone because players are so intense now. They know that the league, with all the super teams around should get as much win as possible, they become aggressive picking up the loose ball that sometimes they are carried away and bump against each other causing someone to get injured un-intentionally. This is just my opinion. Its too early for a play off but everyone is looking to get that W to make a good chance of getting into the playoffs.
Sealing early the playoffs spot for a good landing.
Records are important so that teams can managed well what their expected team to face during 1st round of the playoffs. Although it's early to make an output about that, it should be a "win" no matter what.
