How do we know it wasn't DM who gave it to others? Why is Rudy getting all of the blame?

Rudy is getting the blame because he was making fun of the hype surrounding the virus and touched all the microphones, unknowingly he was infected. I don't blame Rudy he is know as a guy who plays jokes on guys. It was immature what he did but like most good human beings they own up to their mistakes and apologize. Which is what Rudy did?

It sounds like he has a mild case and it helps that he is in tip-top shape. Ignorance makes people do and say stupid stuff but ignorance can be cured with education and a better understanding of the subject mixed with empathy. Most people are able to self-reflect while others just deny, make excuses and provide misinformation. That is why there are millions who are downplaying the virus and maybe the only way to convince them is for them to get it and then they might have there minds changed like Rudy.
 
Only on Jazzfanz, can people turn some horse play, even if it upset some of his teammates, into the Jazz are doomed and DM hates Rudy. Oh brother. People complain about the media. Many humans love drama and make stuff up with no real knowledge of what went down. Woj said it so it must be true.
 
Rudy is like a big kid. He honestly didn't intend harm. He seems like a really nice guy, and it's unfair people come at him like that. It was very immature, but people wishing he'd die, and crucifying him like they are is much uncalled for.

Because he was the one joking around and making a spectacle of mocking it, then the first one publicly acknowledged to have it.

Just read on roto world that there’s a chance the nba will skip the regular season and go right into the playoffs. This would put us in the 4th seed.

This is a very real possibility. I can't see this resolving itself anywhere less than 4 weeks which is effectively the entire regular season. And the seeding is solidly set with no real controversy in either conference. I also think we might see some games played in empty stadiums.

Is We


That’s would kill us imo. We’d lose in the first round.

What seeding do we have a chance to 1) get to in the last 18 games and 2) win a series?

The way we've been playing I'm not happy with any seeding right now. And if we play out the season we have a better chance of dropping than rising in the seeding. I'm happy at the 4 with home court at this point.

4/5 with OKC is about as good as you can hope right now. That'd be great.
 
Haha, if Donovan is the kind of dude who would get majorly butthurt over being catching a mild illness from a teammate, I'd let him walk for nothing.

I mean, has he been on a sports team before? When my frat had a basketball team years ago, it was an unusual season if no one on the team slept with a teammate's girlfriend, put feces in a kit bag as a prank, or been teabagged while passed out from drinking by our one-armed, one-legged coach. And we all would've taken a bullet for each other, regardless.

more of the same: "reading between the lines" that there is beef now with Rudy and Don.

these guys have no games to show and nothing else to talk about. it's going to be Rudy and Don on loop for the next 30 days.

We could look back at this and feel dumb for thinking there is some major beef here... or it absolutely could be the pivot point. I’ve definitely seen frustrations between those two this year... now I’m thinking back and like man maybe it wasn’t all healthy disagreements.

I wonder if there was some instance where Rudy went to far... like he grabbed his tooth brush or something. His apology was sincere so maybe it was more than hugs and grabbing other dudes bags.

This is no bueno.
 
Good news is if we ever resume play I don’t expect Rudy to have any pouty games... will give him the chip on his shoulder and I expect him to be a man on fire... if we ever get to play again.

There is no confirmation that Donovan is mad at Rudy. It's all speculation at this point.

However, letting Donovan walk because he is upset about getting this illness put on him by a careless teammate is about the dumbest response I have seen since this whole story broke.

I think DM's insta post threw some shade at Rudy... I think Woj reports what he hears... so he's hearing stuff.

There is something to it imo. Rudy didn't fire back and acknowledged he was wrong... so maybe he had some other sophomoric acts in the locker room that may have spread his virus. Just really bad luck that he had it and had the public moment.

If DM and other teammates through him under the bus over giving people high fives then that is pretty bad... not that you let him walk... that dumb AF.

This might be the big event that unearths some friction those two have had.
