Mitchell injury

How come I haven’t seen the most obvious reason mentioned... that he was being held out by the Jazz training staff so that he doesn’t make all-nba?

because you didn't look hard enough. I mentioned it... doesn't really impact yesterday's decision though.
 
Not sure if anyone said it during the game but Don needs to sit the **** down and not get off the bench in the middle of a skirmish. Couldn’t he have been suspended for that?
 
Why didn’t they see it before? He practiced for three days. Why wasn’t he in the injury report at all? If it is courageous to hold him out yesterday how would you describe it today when he’s been given the green light?

I get that we have to trust the medical pros... I really do, but if they didn’t have the stones to stand up earlier than game day they aren’t deserving of praise for standing up last minute. They should have done their evaluation earlier if a shoot around performance carried that much weight.

If the player felt ready and they had previously cleared him it just feels wushu washy and like they don’t understand how the timing could affect everything else around the team. Maybe they did it this way because Don was being a diva and it was the only way to ensure he had to sit... IDK but it got screwed up royally and 3 days ain’t gonna be the difference between “all clear” and “career altering injury risk”.

I’m just not gonna give any flowers to anyone involved here since it was a complete and utter **** show
Well, I obviously cannot say why they didn’t see it before, but can only imagine that after one practice he did look okay and they cleared him but on shootaround on game day something changed. Someone can have a scan that shows they are cancer free one month but the next scan can show something of concern.

I don’t think this has anything to do with not having “stones”. You don’t need to send them flowers, but I do think it is worth considering that given all the pressure and blowback they knew they would receive, likely from the ownership, coaching staff, the fans, and the patient himself, they still made what they thought was the correct call for their patient. Were they right? We’ll never know. But I’m sure it wasn’t an easy call to make.

Because yesterday has no impact on that, its already voted on.
