Sixteen NBA teams answer nicely to injury

Take two low-usage defenders and call me in the morning

The NBA is more injured than ever but luckily the NBA is also deeper than ever, play is intense, fans in attendance remain cheerful. Frankly, the NBA should expand so two or even three other cities may enjoy experiencing its second-best player missing one month per season due to overuse.

NBA ball is a good watch at the moment. And not just because of its in-season tournament and those courts, originally designed for the good folks up at Boise St. to run all over.

Injuries, yes, but nearly every team has injuries and rules are rules, NBA squads are required to field five on the floor at all times regardless of the capability of each performer.
