JC is back, but Lauri is out.

It happened on the first play to start the 2nd half. Lauri was really grimacing after he got hit hard by Dort diving for the loose ball and it took him quite some time to get up.

I tried telling you guys the tank is on.

Bruh really… I invented the tank.

Backs are really not to be messed around with… let’s makes sure Lauri is 110% before he comes back… tank your… I mean take your time.

You or I wouldn't walk for a week after that hit... Go ahead and look at it.

And how does JC coming back asap fit into that when there was talk of him needing surgery possibly?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

We will go 1-5 on this road trip. It’s gonna be real ugly… it’s okay… we just gotta breathe through the pain.

Lauri does like 12 things a game that I wouldn’t be able to walk for a week after… why is that worth saying… he’s made from granite imported from mount olympus… I am made from items listed on the McDonald’s dollar menu.

I think Locke was being a little dramatic about JC's injury to try and prove his point that the Jazz are absolutely under no circumstances tanking, and anyone who suggests otherwise is an idiot. Tony Jones did an interview on ESPN700 the same day Locke went on his little rant, and he said JC's injury wasn't that serious and that he was day to day.

 

[Korisfani]

So why is he returning?

 

[Jingled]

So why is he returning?

Because the injury wasn't serious.

 

[homeytennis]

Backs can be serious. Better be safe than sorry and hold him out until training camp.

 

[Korisfani]

Because the injury wasn't serious.

But that's the opposite of tanking.
