Speculations for how the Coronavirus fallout will impact the Jazz as a franchise
- Thread starter NAOS
- Start date
We have no idea how this is going to play out. If I called the shots, and there was a responsible window to try finishing the season before September, I would just go straight to the playoffs with current seeding and do best of 3 series or some ****. Maybe even just single-game elimination.
If you’re either LA team, or Houston, or Boston, you get the credit for winning a single-elimination title. If you’re anyone else, you get asterisked.
I predict harmony between Mitchell/Gobert. I remember Donovan saying he didn’t care who picked him during the All Star team draft just as long as he was on Rudy’s team. I’m banking on that love not evaporating just like that.
I think they’ll remain friends even after Gobert is traded to the Knicks this summer for a bevy of draft picks. Then, the Utah Jazz fanbase will have a heart attack over the obvious ties that could lead Mitchell back to New York with his buddy Rudy.

The regular season is bypassed right into playoffs, giving us the 4th seed. We go on a run of epic proportions because the jazz realize it’s much easier to have home court for at least one series, Gobert is named nba finals MVP.

Ps. Harden gets corona and never seen again.
Jazz will pull through this. There's no reason for animus.

If Spida and Rudy were testy toward each other, they were both sick. Given them two weeks to flush the cooties out of their systems, they will be good to go.

Both players will recover, but I think we will see another Jazz player and several other players get the virus. No one is seriously affected by it.
The NBA starts the season back up in late April. They'll figure out a way to make it so everyone plays the same number of games. Probably 66-70.
Playoffs start in early May. First-round goes back to a best of 5. Jazz get home court and advance to the 2nd round and play a good series vs the Lakers but lose in 7.
Donovan and Rudy hash out their issues. Rudy agrees to an extension in the summer and Donovan in the fall.
Jazz bring back core from this season. By November this is all forgotten.

If Harden got the coronavirus the refs would call so many fouls that the virus would get ejected and suspended for the rest of the season.
