More Simone minutes please! I would not be disappointed if Gay didn’t play another minute for us the rest of the season.

Tank fans not gonna be happy...

How will the Jazz cope?

You never want injuries, but this is good news. I really want to know if Simone is an NBA player or not. We should have a good idea after this stretch.

 

[stitches]

Oh no!

Anyways...

 

[fishonjazz]

Awesome

prayers being answered.

As bad as Gay has looked at times, the lineups with him in them have been successful. He has the highest net rating and best defensive rating of our rotation players.

I’m actually happy… Simone needs to play. It likely doesn’t change a whole lot wins/losses wise. Hell maybe Ochai actually gets a turn… prolly not.

Ochai has been very mediocre in his G=League stint.

and? i hope conley, clarkson, olynyk, sexton, etc deal with injuries that keep them out for a few games too.

and mediocre might be kind

I still have hope for him, but his play in the G league definitely hasn't been very impressive.

I know... I don't care too much as the player Ochai needs to become likely doesn't put up huge numbers in the G League. Simone is the guy for sure... if there is another injury then maybe Ochai gets some burn.

As a matter of fact... I predict Simone is in the rotation from this point forward (as long as he is healthy of course).

Gay is going to comeback eventually. Losing spot due to injury is big no-no in the NBA among coaches for vets. Maybe they will slowly phase him out after he returns, but he will return.

He's done. Benching a young guy who performs well just because a ****** vet comes back is a bigger no-no.

Kerr gave David Lee's spot to Draymond... they ended up doing okay.

Agbaji needs minutes to see if he can develop and not just in the G league. The G league doesn't help team chemistry. If it results in a few extra losses this year as he learns, that is fine too.

No "and", I don't have an agenda here, just an FYI.

I know you are referring to minor injuries, but I think it's still in poor taste to wish injuries on others.
