What's new

Donovan will be on Good Morning America tomorrow morning

Here’s the interview, they do ask about Rudy, I’ll let some thoughts be shared before I comment

 
I think you mean media savy and scripted.
Fair. I didn’t love or hate it. I wish Donovan had a little more humility. Aside from the Gobert thing, what responsibility has he taken for his own actions leading up to this? When has he had one sentence basically saying he could have done better, cause guess what Donovan...you could have. You were t taking it seriously either. That would be a great part of his message and yet he can’t have any sort of self reflection. Idk, this interview was basically a big nothing honestly. If he can’t look at himself in the mirror here who’s to say he’s really that easy of a teammate as far as looking at what he can do to improve his role and help Rudy on the floor too.
 
My thoughts:
1. The fact that Mitchell has no symptoms makes it more likely he was actually the one who infected Rudy.
2. His being pissed at Rudy was clearly real (can't believe some people thought Woj would make anything up).
3. He is not the golden boy people want him to be (and Locke pushes that he is).

Wow I can’t believe some of you are going on that Gobert is who you build a team around. What League are you watching? This is offensive. Stars. Centers being obsolete league now. No way you trade cornerstone OFFENSIVE piece over an obsolete position player. That’s ridiculous. I say don’t trade either one. But no way in hell you trade Donovan before Rudy.
Mitchell is not a ofensive cornerstone.
Seriously? Donovan has had to calm Gobert down on numerous occasions in 2020.
How many is numerous, I didn’t see the Toronto game, was sicker than a dog, but I’m having a hard time coming up with times Gobert was completely out of control.

This is all related to the drama conversation.

Rudy has thrown full on temper tantrums on the court and Donovan has had to calm him down. He did it against Toronto.

And the other times. I’m an expert at throwing tantrums and I’ve gotta say that’s not Rudy. All of us are guilty of one or two, but it takes a special kind of idiot like me to actually do it all the time you idiot!!
Rudy didn’t do it at Donovan’s lowest point.
WTF does this even mean for hell sakes?
Stupid flu stuff aside, Rudy needs to know his role and stick to it. He has not developed a single offensive move in his 7 years in the league. Not one.
Simply not true
Aside from the Gobert thing, what responsibility has he taken for his own actions leading up to this?
What actions are those. You’re starting to iss me off both you and your lapdog @LoPo

you read all that in one 4 minute interview? Is he not allowed to get mad.... like ever? Effffing idiot!!! We aren’t talking about Gobert looking at Mitchell weird, and Mitchell losing his cool. Good lord man!!!
 
You idiots piss me off as much as the idiots hoarding the ****ing toilet paper as if the zombie apocalypse is here!!! I’m down to two rolls and can’t find any toilet paper in the entire state of Utah for **** sakes!! Why the hell are people acting like this, ****ing idiots!!!! It’s going to start getting really stinky up in my house real soon.
 
Mitch has no symptoms, Rudy felt sick for a morning.
China has over a billion people and they reported only 3,000 dead from this. That number must be a massive lie.
I wonder if most people who get it don't show any symptoms. A few very unlucky get the worst version and it kills them?

My conspiracy sniffing intuition tells me that there is more to this than we can imagine. The virus from all I've read is not as serious as others that have occurred in the last 20 years, but supposedly it is more contagious. However, only elderly persons or those with diseases or conditions in which their immune systems are compromised are at risk, not of getting it (it's very contagious) but of facing a life-threatening situation. If you note the stats coming out of China, very few people have died of those who were diagnosed with the virus, and many have already recovered. I can understand the conservative response because it might save lives. But it seems that the CDC is making a mountain out of a moehill. The question is, is it really warranted or if there is something else behind it. What that could be is anyone's guess.

We need David Locke to use his nerd number magic and figure out why

One thing I love about this is form is the absolute denial people are in when a bad report comes in about the jazz. Someone as reputable as woj being a "liar" because they apparently "know" Donovan is laughable but would or will believe every single trade, team signing, release that he tweets.

Shocker, woj was right.

Let it go guys. It's up to them to work it out. To be a pro-athlete, sometimes you have a different personality. You can be rightfully wound tight and be very protective of your health. Or you can be arrogant and cocky. Or prideful or whatever, but it is not our place. It's for them to figure out.

As we provide the financial backing to make this whole industry go 'round, these are the things that can affect the product we're paying for. So, we may be more inclined to vote the only way we know how -- with our wallets. So you can say that this is all up to them. And what I do with my time and my money is up to me.

Try the shower. Or go to the store today and buy a 4-pack it is there today.
 
I am really tired of the Rudy blame for a virus. If his teammates are mad at him for being careless in the locker room, I'm very disappointed. Out of Rudy and Donovan, who interacts and touches people the most? Donovan. Who goofs around in the locker room? Most of them. And they are all in extremely close contact during a game. How can they be angry with Rudy? It is every bit as likely that Donovan gave it to Rudy. What is wrong with people?

I'm very disappointed in the Jazz response, or lack thereof. Rudy deserves better.
