Jazz Fire Mike Elliot, Experience Worse Case of Injuries

Injuries happen... you can have the best training staff in the world. To assign blame for a catastrophic knee injury and calf strain to the medical team... is some dumb ****. It's clear you'd like to blame Donovan for this.. Maybe just give it a couple days before you decide to troll @LoPo maybe just let it breathe.

DIdnt blame anyone in this thread. It's not black/white and firing one of the most celebrated strength/conditioning coaches is noteworthy.

If the Jazz fired Quin Snyder and hired Alex Jensen, then the following season the Jazz lost 15 more games, we'd be talking about it. That's basically what the Jazz did on the strength/conditioning side of things.
 
Joe appears to be carrying more weight this year, which I think has affected his entire game and made him more injury prone. Can't blame that on the medical staff.

If anything, outside of concussion, COVID, breaks and now Joe, the team has been healthy, including Conley's hamstrings (Yoga and Mike may be more responsible for that than the medical staff, but who knows...)

It seemed we had a lot more injuries after losing Briggs UNTIL this year. If anything, I'd say the medical/training staff appears to be doing a great job.

I've been saying he's heavier for a while now. It was pretty obvious he was carrying some extra bad weight. He had a play game before last that was a really awkward fall... and he just didn't look like he was moving well. Maybe the trainers should have held him out so he could drop some weight. Good luck selling that to everyone involved.

I'm gonna go ahead and refrain from blaming the new medical staff... I'm not gonna blame the guy who may have been the reason the old medical staff is gone. These things happen... it sucks.
 
I was watching the replay of Joe's injury and it reminds me a lot of the Krysko knee injury when he was shoved by Bill Lambeer many years ago. Jordan McLaughlin was shoving on Joe as he was dribbling and the knee gave out. For player safety the league may want to have refs start calling this type of contact all the time.
