Not really, in fact both were in regards to the ankle. Oh it was a playoff game in a series the Jazz were heavily favored? Well we better throw a fit and get the guy fired who turned out to be right as the dude was limping on one foot 6 games later. Donovan throws fits when he doesn't get his way, so now, it's on him, not Quin.

Its totally different. If Donovan doesn't play at some point in that series then we lose and the season is over. He wasn't going to be 100% until an offseason.

Last night is a guy hobbling around trying to come back from 15 down in a regular season game... without his two best teammates. It was already over. A player in the heat of the moment during a game wanting back out there is something you should stop.

Yes. The coaches job is to coach and the players job is to play. Unfortunately we have a guy you have to tip toe around his feelings.

Lol. Donovan wanted to play to help our postseason chances. Anybody bashing him for those "feeling" is a moron. You were already a moron so I don't know what to call an advanced level moron. Prince Moron? Duke?

I don't take a single thing you say as truth. You have to provide a substantial link with a direct quote from a respectable source. You have zero legitimacy on this forum with all of your lie spreading.

It's an Andy interview on ESPN700. I'm not digging through interviews just to not change your mind about what is blatantly obvious to anyone who is dense as ****.

“With the training staff, there wasn’t any impetus to change it because of any events last year. Look, injuries happen. With return to play, there’s always, you know, a bit of a debate and negotiation between players and doctors and health performance people. That that has nothing to do with it,” Zanik said. “Mike decided he wanted to pursue some other opportunities. This season was a grind for everyone. I don’t want to speak for him about what those personal things were. But our job here with the Jazz is to continue to put a world-class health care and performance program in place for our players.”

So 1-We weren't going to lose that series, 2-He chose to go back in last night verified by both he and Quin post-game that it was his decision. It's not hard after the fiasco with him (multiple) why they just go along with whatever he wants. They don't want the garbage that comes along with telling him no.

Yeah, we should be hard on Donovan who tried to go out there and help us win a game. What a diva

My point is there was an injury to a multi-million dollar player. You are paid to coach the team, get the guy out so he doesn't injure himself further. We were not going to win that game. I will be shocked if DM takes the floor in a week. Quin needed to show some leadership there.

It's cute how LoPo thinks organizations never lie to save face for everyone.

Lopo, if you smell a ton of smoke, you shouldn't call people drama queens for thinking there's a fire.

Mike let the player (Don) warm up then pulled the plug right before the tipoff. Everybody was surprised. Players, coaches, fans, everybody. Of course Don was upset, but so were many others in the organization.

Just because Don was the player mishandled by the training staff (Mike Elliot) doesn't mean Don led to Mike deciding to leave.

I trust Zanik more than I trust some unproven potential chain of events.

He doesn’t actually think that he just has a certain bias agenda to forward. (I do as well, but at least I’m honest about it).

This is true.

You're both at opposite extremes on the Mitchell spectrum, but Lopo is the only one pretending he's in the middle.
