Just about the entire NBA is. This condensed schedule was such a horrible, horrible idea.

The temptation is to blame it on the lockout-shortened season and the hectic, compressed schedule that resulted.

Yet, if we dig deeper, the trend doesn't seem that strong. For example, our Kevin Pelton showed in this story that games lost to injury don't appear to be on the rise this season. A separate study by Teamrankings.com found that the actual number of reported injuries per game held steady. When NBA commissioner David Stern said this in a recent news conference, he wasn't lying ... the data is pretty clear.
