From all the injuries of various players on our team. Those players re-injuring themselves.
Mirza going down with blood clots in his lungs.
These guys are professional basketball players on a team that's worth a crap ton of money. Don't the team doctors regularly give physicals and check the players well being?
Mirza could've been another tragedy on this team.

DWill misdiagnosed

Just seems like it's a constant issue with this team.

I've actually wondered this myself, even though our medical staff has been top notch and Tim Walsh is always receiving recognition for being such a professional.

Actually, from what I've read, if Tim Walsh did not demand that Mirza undergo a cat scan which revealed the clots in his lungs, he could have died had he boarded the team plane that night.

D-Will's mad that that they didn't find out his rib had a cartilage issue. Okay, mistakes happen. But the same dude he's trying to toss under the bus because he's a disgruntled employee who has been a huge disappointment in every facet of the game helped to save a man's life.

Johnson has tendinitis due to severe overuse. D-Will and Brook are just injury prone cotton candy pussies. Cant blame Walsh for that.

Yeah the original articles implied that the Nets didn't catch it. Later on, it appears the hospital cleared Mirza and released him. Then Timmy and his staff insisted he gets a 2nd look and that's when they found the blood clots.

Tim Walsh is the trainer. He's not the team doctor. This guy is the team doctor from quick googling.

Maybe this team needs to overall the team doctor and medical staff.

Eh, hard to say without being inside the situations and also knowing a good amount about our training + medical practices.

I will say that guys in the NBA gain reputations just for being with organizations for long periods of time. Tim Walsh has been around forever. No one in the NBA world is going to say a negative thing about him.

The D-Will stuff was really bad. Team really threw him under the bus. Called his injury a "cramp" and said he was missing games because of a "sore left side". Basically said his pain tolerance was the problem and not an actual injury. How many fans were asking if he was on his period? Threw him out there and he re-aggravated it again and they acted like it was a completely new injury. Even though he reacted the same exact way. He definitely had a right to be mad.

Before that, this guy was injured to START the year like 3 years in a row. Not ideal at all. I'm sure part of it was Deron's fault - wanting to play through it and not get surgery - but damn. You have to assume that a better training/medical staff would've had him on a different plan.

Also, how many times have our guys exceeded their time table? Guys go from being day-to-day or out for a week to being out for much longer. Lopez has had mysterious foot stuff that goes from nothing to season ending a couple of times.

The Nets FO has thrown everyone else under the bus but themselves so that's not exactly a shock.

Not sure how much the medical staff has changed over the years but these were also the guys who called out the imminent demise of SAR's knees and caught Tractor Traylor's heart issue when he was attempting a comeback...
