Comments about ‘Utah Jazz: Injuries continue to pile up for Jazz, Deron Williams’

In the 90's I remember that Jazz were well known to have the least injuries during the season. Of course, stockton and malone the 2 iron-men helped. But I was wondering if the support staff (phy trainer, team doc, etc) were better then?

He was there. If you listen to Stockton talk at his farewell speach at the DC and at the Hall of Fame, he gives Dr Buhler tons of credit.
I go see Dr Buhler and I feel very lucky that just a regular punk like me can see such a genius. He has techniques for injuries that work very fast and that nobody else does.
Top world class athletes still go to see him.
Jazz doctors were loathe to give Dr Buhler any credit, but the fact remains that when Dr Buhler was with the Jazz, the Jazz players had few injuries. Since he left the team, well...

Re; Nanda
That time game was slower and less athletic.

The NBA season is about two months too long--blame the greed of the owners for having to watch the living dead at the end of the season.

Uh...I think it's the other way around. I think the players are making so much money that the only way the owners can make money after they've paid the huge salaries is to have a longer season (and, hopefully, make it to the playoffs).

Jazz are in a bad situation. If you sit your players, you could be out of the playoffs. If you play your injured players, you could be the walking dead come playoff time. Jerry needs to manage this team right now and stop playing tough guy.

True dat,
Less games,
lower salarys,
lower ticket prices,
only way they will make it to the next century??

And by the way no guaranteed contracts, like the NFL is another thing they should do right now..
If they are great give them a signing bounus!
