I completely agree.  This team has been hit hard by the injury bug this
year.  Sure, lots of teams battle injuries, but how many battle this many,
and still win?  The hopeful side of me looks at this like a smaller-scale
version of the Spurs a few years ago.  Had Robinson not been hurt all
year, they likely would have won more games, and NEVER gotten Duncan.

Are we as good when healthy as the Spurs would have been with Robinson? 
Perhaps not, but then again, this was a team that was running bad teams
out of the building, and staying with good teams most nights.  Get
healthy, and add a top pick, and this could get real fun, real quick.
