Yes, because that includes 1-8, 2-7, and 3-6 series that are generally more lopsided in talent.
This is a 4/5 matchup. Going down 0-2 isnt that big of a deal at all.
Should the Jazz Punt Game 2?

We can still win the depres if we lose game 2 but it's less likely.
If we want to win we really need to take game 2. Otherwise it's an uphill battle. It's a lot of pressure to win games 3 and 4 at home when you are down 2.
If Mitchell isn't healthy though and it is risking his health they should sit him. Winning this series isn't worth it.
Also we can win without Mitchell it will just be harder and guys would need to step up obviously.

It's a foot/toe contusion, which means a lot of swelling. Swelling only gets better through resting. So yeah, even if he can technically get up and play on it, doesnt mean it's in the best interest of the series.
Since you are the resident sports injury person on here, what's the typical differnece in a foot/toe contusion after 2 days of rest compared to 5?

He's not limping, says he feels fine. Did you see him yesterday begging to get on the court while limping everywhere? Even if this question was worth considering (probably isn't) he's gonna play.
I am definitely not the injury expert. I am around them but that is not my field of expertise.
I also dont think we have enough info to go off of. A foot contusion is pretty vague. But more time is pretty much always better for an injury. If it is just a bruise though and no real damage then the swelling will come down and he can just play through the pain. I did agree with pulling him though when he was running funny. That is how you get a serious injury. I assume the Jazz will rest him as much as possible and then run him through warmups before the game and see if he can move normal. If he can they should play him. If they cant, sit him. The last thing we need is an ACL injury or something else because he is running, jumping and landing funny.

You ever been injured before? Typically it happens and you can play through it, but it gets worse the following days with swelling.
And yes, he is going to say he is fine. If he didnt he would be viewed as soft.

I’ve had a ton of ankle injuries and the next day is always the worst. I’ve also played on said injuries and didn’t feel like it made them worse but the toe might be different. Obviously not a pro so none of this is really relevant.
He’ll get treatment and I expect him to go. The ghost of George Hills toe won’t stop this kid.

No. If playing him in game 2 doesnt risk long term injury, hell no.

I think you rest him if there's a strong risk of aggravation and if the extra rest would likely lead to him being healthy the rest of the series. If it's just a pain issue then you can always shoot him up with something or other as long as there's no risk of further damage.
