Kobe will never mention it, but he hurt his shoulder early in the playoffs. It did have an effect on him.
Fox, yeah, is an important part of the bench.
George was out for a couple games.
It is too bad that basketball does not do like what MLB and NFL does re: injuries. If a football team loses a quarterback in the finals they can put him on injured reserve and bring in a replacement so they always have a functional team
With NBA a team could be eliminated by injuries . . . . which brings up an interesting image of an NBA championship including teams that would plan a war of attrition. |
