Middleton was injured the following year, Giannis has a freak back injury in game 1 the following year and ends up only playing 2 full games. Now this season, Giannis goes down 2 weeks before the playoffs start. I just wish I got to see them have a healthy run to win a second title, but it is what it is. I know they definitely would have beaten the overrated Celtics.
However, if they can find out a way to get younger their fortunes will change dramatically. Surrounding a still prime Giannis with young high IQ players with athleticism would devastate the league. Surrounding Giannis with a old, slow roster is ridiculous.
It's not like NBA teams weren't decimated by injuries the same year as their own championship run. So no injury excuses unless you want to take away the validity of their own title.
