Then you look at a team like the Suns, that seem to have an excellent physical training staff, able to patch up someone like Grant Hill and recoup Amare.
Don't you find it a little weird how Houston has a major injury every year? Sure their players could be made of glass..but it seems like they aren't doing something right...I mean Alston and Battier didn't have much of an injury history before coming to Houston...neither did T-Mac for that matter. Yea they are getting older, but didn't Landry go down too this season? Its like the whole team is made of glass

Alston and Battier are getting old and they have played a lot of minutes the last few years. T-Mac has a history of back problems and has a ton of miles on him. Landry bruised his knee.
Medical staff on professional sports teams are pretty much of the same caliber -- ie they're among the best you can get. For the injuries to be because of them would mean that they're grossly incompetent. Which is extremely unlikely for a major professional team in the developed world.
The Phoenix guys look good because those players happened to recover well. They didn't use some groundbreaking techniques that only they know about to cure Amare and Hill. Those guys got better because they healed and responded to the standard high quality treatment that all players receive. It's not like we're comparing the physiotherapists on Team USA to the Burkina Faso All-Stars. The Rockets have the resources to select the best of the best of the best.
