If they were to sit Lauri, they should really do it against DAL x2.

The Dallas game likely becomes a full tank off. Dallas plays tonight too... a Cooper contusion is incoming.

These next three games are way too important. Maybe sit Lauri tonight with illness... illness lingers or he gets better but sit Key on back end of B2B. Maybe sit both tomorrow.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Dallas has the Jokic-less Nuggs tonight on the B2B... a very winnable game. Then us twice. If we don't get some separation now it will be hard to hold off their tank.

Lauri has been downgraded (more like upgraded am I right) to Doubtful

It said he has an illness. COVID could take him out a couple of weeks. That might be what the tank doctor ordered.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

It said he has an illness.

He's fine.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

He's fine.

Didn't realize you were the team doctor.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

He's out now... likely close to death but some question our staff's medical integrity. sad.

 

[Shad]

If he has the flu, it has been taking people weeks to get over. If it is, I hope he has a speedy recovery

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

Oh, come on, quit it already everyone...
He's fine and the NBA sucks.

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

I hope Jazz gets scrutinized thoroughly.

 

[NUMBERICA]

I hope Jazz gets scrutinized thoroughly.

Even if Lauri doesn’t? Odd if true.

Let's be honest, the real action that determines the W/L happens pregame with the decisions re who plays so this is the right time for the chatter
