Jazz vs. Mavs in round one

Lol guys we already got a break from the league. Game 1 was scheduled the earliest way possible for us already. Zero shot they give 3 days in between Game 1 and 2 and then another between Game 2 and Game 3. You think teams are going to be ok with playing with one day in between while we are getting two in between both? I highly doubt this happens. I almost guarantee Game 2 is on Monday and then they could stretch Game 3 to Thursday.

Yeah no way the league would ever do that.

A clear scheduling BS move though just means the NBA is looking more and more like WWE... Also they should not tempt the basketball gods... they already did it once.

I think Luka is likely to miss Game 3, which should be in 9 days. Either way, the Jazz really should win the first two games. Mavs will have to play Brunson and Dinwiddie, and our guards should be able to score. Jazz should also do well on the boards.

There are a lot of thoughts but I think it comes down to these main points....

- Soft tissue injuries are tricky... can't brace it or shoot up some pain killers and go for it. You will reinjure or maybe even do worse. KD is the prime example.
- He may be able to come back in less than 10-14 days, but from what I read he is at high risk for re-injury.
- This is the type of injury where you'd want to be pain free for a week or so before you test it... and when you test it you will find out if its ready... you will be notified that you failed the test when it gives out again.

Pure speculation... he misses at least 2 games. If he comes back earlier I think he's at an extremely high risk to reinjure. If they split the games in Dallas I think he sits game 3 too... if we go up 0-2 then i think he may give it a go in the danger zone.

If we are smart we put him in every defensive action... he has a huge offensive load and we should really test how strong that muscle is. No ****ing mercy if you decide to strap it up we come for your neck.

Whenever he comes back we need to target him specifically. I hope we don't give them easy time. Make him move, make him switch, make him chase, make him recover.... Don't let him sit in the corner on defense ...

My guess is that it will be:

Saturday Game 1
Tuesday Game 2
Friday Game 3
Sunday Game 4

A normal schedule would be:
Saturday, Game 1
Monday, Game 2
Thursday, Game 3 (extra day off for travel)
Saturday, Game 4

Maybe they push Game 4 back to Sunday if the TV schedule is full, but the extra day is usually for travel.

Jazz should be thinking in terms of taking a 3-0 series lead over the next 9 or 10 days.
