Spida’s Ankle

[oneye]

Thing is, you can't assure me of that unless you are also sitting on the jazz bench.

I can assure you by the fact a couple weeks ago their was tension, frustration, and disagreement. No, having your personal guy on the Jazz bench is just diva level BS. Imagine if every player on the roster had their own personal dude sitting on our bench on things like this. It’s asinine and creates conflict that does not need to exist. It’s already proven to create problems. YOU DONT NEED OR WANT MORE AND CONFLICTING VOICES ON YOUR BENCH DURING A DAMN GAME.

Why would that be insane. They get paid the same and get help so they have to do less? Sounds like a pretty sweet deal for them.

Plus they don't have to deal with the diva as much! Win win win.

It has literally already created conflict and issues. Notice how Rudy, Joe, literally no one else has their own team on our bench during a ****ing game? Hell Joe flat out defended the staff after the last incident saying he would NEVER question them. Obviously only one dude feels the need because he’s a baby. The doctors who took care of him for 4 years just can’t be listened to at this point because well……he’s a child who thinks he’s better than everyone else.

Created conflict and issues? Jazz whooped dat *** in round 1 and are up 2-1 in round two.
If that's conflict and issues then can I have some more please? Might just have enough conflict and issues to win a championship

Wow - Mitchell's private staff is led by our part owner's trainer.

Looks like ownership was involved with this and it wasn't just Mitchell going rogue.

The difficult truth is that this is only going to get worse as the playoffs progress. It's obviously hurt enough that normal things, like stopping hard, are enough to tweak it again. Every tweak builds up cumulative trauma on the ankle. I knew this was going to be a problem when he came up hobbled after that hard stop in the first half. On replay it wasn't anything crazy, the ankle didn't role, quite frankly it was something a normal healthy athletes ankle would have handled just fine. This is very concerning. Without Mitchell we will lose 4 straight to the clippers even with Conley. We need him for any thoughts of a deep run.

I'm really hoping he can get the rest he needs and that he can at least be functional. But it won't take much to push that ankle over the edge. And I'm really afraid at this point it's just a matter of time. It's not if, but when, as he keeps playing on it injured.

I get that he has no other option, but we need to be prepared for the one time he comes down from some high-flying move and lands just wrong enough to take him out of the playoffs.

Seems like this also reinforces why the medical staff was so careful in how quickly they brought him back.

Not really.

If he's reaggravating it in Game 2 of the 2nd round, I don't think him missing Game 1 of the 1st round saved him from anything.

If anything it just made it worse - gave us extra games in Round 1, leading to Conley's injury, leading to a heavier load on Mitchell in this round.

Yeah, listen to Wade’s former trainer. Cause Wade was such a model of health.

Wade had four consecutive Finals runs.

The good news is that spiders do not have ankles. So we're good.

Ummmm he was... especially for the style of play he had.

And they need to choose me! Or at the very least, remove the restraining order.

and me, too. (at least that damn restraining order for sure)

I've got a dog that's nearly as crazy about me as I am about Donovan, and I'm not even a Lab.

FWIW I heard this on a podcast from a national writer (maybe Zach Lowe) and I think Locke said it too. But they said that it's exceedingly common for players, particularly star players, to have private trainers work in conjunction with the team's official medical staff.

I didn't see it as an issue at all. Snyder loved on DM, and DM just wanted to show strong in the face of the opponents. Everyone looked like they approved. Who are we to criticize.
