Don and Mike questionable

Gonna cop @Handlogten's Heros again and say it's either both or neither. No point in potentially aggravating injuries that could become increasingly chronic for an outcome that is likely a loss, and they can also lighten the burden for one another.
I promise you with the way our luck is it will be just Mike... he will look okay and go out in the second half with tightness... then we lose by 9 when Mann and Jackson score a combined 20 points in the fourth quarter.
 
Its wild that the training staff is gonna let Mike play now... had a setback before game 2... its almost like their evaluation is hinging on the fact that its an elimination game today. Would think they would base it on function and performance. Kinda inconsistent with game 1 and Donovan... almost like maybe they ruled him out right before a game to be assholes cuz they egos were hurt when a guy got outside counsel.

We got so many threads going right now with a lot of the same information. I think Conley playing could be his call if he was thinking about his next contract....

I know Mike has to be smart about his health, but if he can come back and help lead us to the West Finals, it's probably worth $10+ million in salary money.

If he doesn't come back, I would imagine he would get a contract making around $12-15 per year tops for two or three years. 3 years - $30-40 million.

If he came back tonight and helps to turn this thing around, I bet he could get $15-20 million for a couple years. 3 years, $45-50 million.
 
I've already completed my stages of grief and accepted the fact that without a healthy Don and Mike we aren't going anywhere in these playoffs. Because of that I kind of prefer they don't play.

Besides that these 10pm EST games are killing me. I'm seriously considering moving back to the west coast for more convenient sports watching.

Its great... my dream is to be in Hawaii though and be watching basketball at 2 pm from my outside lanai and to be in bed by 9 having consumed all the sports.
 
Mike and Donovan have to give it a try
They have nothing to lose
Play it safe don't do anything to cause more damage
They have all off season to recover
 
Jazz' forced to play 4 on 5 D... natural downside of playing hobbled DM.
You cannot have both one ankled Don and team D.
Jazz just choose (what they thought was) the lesser $hit.

The way Bogey/Ckarkson were spitting fire, it probably should have been worth to try sitting Don and threw someone else in... don't know whom... Favs, Georges, Miye, Trent... if only they have another real ballhandler or passer or quick footed long defebder, or one more anyone good at whatever.... Ersan may be...

Not always I understand what Quin does, but he's good finding ways to use the limited set of tools he was given. I trust he actually did the best available moves.

I think the concern they may have is something like a KD situation especially in Dons case

I think they both play
They are going to do a combo Willis Reed appearance
Jazz get fired up and play out of their minds and win
 
ALL WILL PLAY, Jazz will prevail and force a game 7 with momentum we get for playing full roster and the victory,there is still light at the end of the tunnel, run to it Jazzfanz
 
I kinda feel like unless the Jazz and all parties really believe they can win the finals given the health concerns, there's really nothing but downsides to playing them at this stage.

But if they think there's a shot, go all in. No more of this wishy-washy horse-****.
 
Leave it all on the line. Even getting some minutes from them means you're not asking Thomas/Forrest to play 15 minutes.

I've resigned myself to whatever happens happens.
 
When I win the lotto we all gonna do this together
In
Hell I almost want to move there and work at McDonald's or something and just live the cheapest way possible and play on the beach whenever I'm not at work or sleeping.

If I were single with no kid I might go for it lol

There will never be a better shot.
