It is strange how this has turned into a war of attrition. 6 teams currently in the playoffs have All-Stars out (Rose, Kobe, Westbrook, Rondo, Granger, Lee). Then you have Gallinari out for the Nuggets and even Lou Williams/Pachulia out for the Hawks. So out of the 16 playoff teams, 7-8 of them have a significant player out for the season/indefinitely. That doesn't even begin to get into the players that are hurting but trying to play through it which is usually the main injury storyline of the playoffs. I do expect in this case that Westbrook will be back in time if they make the Finals though. They're saying potentially weeks depending on what they find in surgery. Not having the best players in playing in the playoffs sucks. I didn't like even when Bosh went down last year and Rondo being hurt this year and I'm far from a Celtics or Heat fan.
