The NBA Development League's Maine Red Claws have had their share of good luck and bad luck since the team's inception last year, in effect exhibiting the D-League's unique version of Isaac Newton's third law of motion. Newton's law states that for every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction and, while the Red Claws spectrum of luck hasn't always been "equal and opposite," Maine's terrible luck with injuries to top players has certainly been offset by the team's luck in claiming players off of the D-League's waiver wire.
The Red Claws injury misfortunes this season have included losing NBA call-up candidates Stephane Lasme and Magnum Rolle to injury less than a week into the regular season, though the blow in losing both of the talented pivot men was slightly lessened this week when the Red Claws were able to add Boston Celtics summer league big man DeShawn Sims via the waiver wire.
"We've had unbelievably bad luck and we continue to have bad luck. We lost Stephane Lasme early in the preseason, Magnum Rolle is injured right now and Mario West has a hamstring pull that caused him to miss last game," Red Claws president and general manager Jon Jennings recently told FanHouse. "For all of our injury problems over the last couple of years, though, we've been very fortunate in the player pool."
