Injuries are a part of sports. They are unfortunate, but they happen to everyone. We have seen how injuries have changed the NBA playoff landscape.
The Cleveland Cavaliers lost power forward Kevin Love for the post-season and now they are no longer the favorites to win the NBA title. Chris Paul has an injured hamstring that could limit him in the series against the Rockets and Mike Conley is still recovering from a facial fracture and might not play in Game 2.
While winning an NBA championship requires a great roster and head coach, luck also has a lot do with it.
