RIFT IN JAZZ LOCKER ROOM

As was said, Rudy’s bad look is already done and he’s on the do good tour. Donovan’s still on the petty tour.

Rudy donates $500,000 to arena employees and those impacted by the virus in Oklahoma and France. Donovan sent rumors to Woj. Rudy sent $500,000 to those impacted and apologized.

 
Unless someone in the locker room tells Woj what actually happened in the locker room we may never know.

It sounds like Rudy did or said something that bothered most of his teammates. Oni didn’t know and had to be told to get on board to show their displeasure with Rudy. Most likely DM said something vague to Woj.

It probably has been building and Rudy will say something. The guards haven’t been giving him the ball. He says something, they get bent out of shape, he makes a dumb joke they use it to make him look bad and refuse to support him during a tough even if deserved time. Buddies have their bro’s backs even when they are in the wrong. It looks like Rudy has no true friends in the locker room.

This makes me wonder if it’s basketball with poor taste jokes, or did he do something like spit in DMs water bottle and they all knew it and now DM has he virus. They know something, are ticked, but they draw the line on passive aggressive comments but won’t call him out in person? They will log in under a pseudonym or have a friend do it to plead their cases or against the other, but they won’t FaceTime have this out like adults should?

I know nothing, this is just what the saga says to me so far.

I don’t care if I even find out, but Rudy, DM, and the rest of the team need to really hash things out from top to bottom and get to a place they can move on so they can play ball when this is over.

If this is how the new NBA is, I might be done. I’m not going to waste money, time, or emotion in my life on this soap opera crap. I can experience any of this for free, on any channel, or at work, or in my neighborhood.
 
Here’s Donovan

I don't see what's wrong with this message. He is simply telling people of his status and gives a shout out to Jazz fans.

So y'all think he hates Gobert because he doesn't mention him? Does he also hate Canada since he didn't check on the Canadian Prime Minister? Or Arsenal soccer because he doesn't check in on Arteta?

The spit in the bottle theory makes sense. Or if Rudy licked something of Donovan's. If that type thing happened, Donovan deserves credit for not going off.

He did go off through several facets. Royce was on playing games again. Of course people asked about it. They kinda just acted like the $500,000 was no big deal and didn’t care much. Idk.
 
I'm full of sympathy for Rudy in this situation. The most problematic thing about this thing is Covid seems to be mild or even asymptomatic most of the time. Facing the same dilemma in my household at the moment. Any little niggle you'd normally not think twice about has you questioning whether or not you should be showing up to work tomorrow. It's really hard to make that decision when the data points are so minute. The microphone touching thing was a bit of a bad look, but c'mon. He didn't know that he was sick, and it's virtually impossible to trace where that transmission came from. Must be surreal for him to be patient zero in the NBA. Now isn't the time for bullying or conjecture.

Dude tell me about it. I have two chronically sick parents who i care for and i work in our major public hospital, i have a bag packed in case i need to be quarantined at work.

Stay healthy! Hope your parents will be fine. Can only imagine how crazy must be to work at the hospital right now.
 
This teams chemistry was already **** and now there is a major locker room rift. We are going to be closer to rebuilding yet again rather then competing for a title by the end of the season, unless something drastic changes.
