^^^ that is the key right there. Staying injury free. All these players are vets and they know what it takes to win. They are playing with a purpose on the defensive end (especially melo, take a second to think about how weird that sounds. haha) and are moving the ball on the offensive side of the ball as well. The problem is how to maintain their health throughout the course of a 82 game season. Of course you need to provide them with enough rest, but injuries are still going to happen to every team. Hopefully they just aren't season (or career in some of their cases) ending.
