Spida’s Ankle

[oneye]

oneye thinks that Mitchell having three extra days before playing his first playoff game after 6 weeks off is equivalent to having three extra days of rest between rounds.

lol.

That’s not what I said. I actually think he should have been resting every other game. I don’t even know that we know everything about the injury tbh. He should have let the staff who had taken care of him for 4 years continue taking care of him. The longer consistent rest is on an injury that needs time to heal matters most though for sure. I think it’s wild you somehow think what you’re referring to is what the issue was. The ankle was never ****ing ready.

BTW CAN YOU READ? The ESPN article literally said he wanted to be back earlier in the regular season. THANK GOD the Jazz staff said NO as long as they did. His great trainer had him cleared long before game 1. He wanted to put far more stress on it than what you’re trying to twist here.

It sure was.

Who's going to be more fresh during the last half of an 8 hour hike? The person who rests an hour before the hike, or the person who rests an hour in the middle of the hike?

This isn’t a hike. This is an injury that takes a significant amount of inactivity and time to heal. And the part you want to ignore is Donovan and his wonderful staff wanted him cleared games before that. Yeah, I don’t trust his trainer, not him to judge an injury that is now obviously in a lot worse shape than it was 2 weeks ago. Which heals better? A scab you leave alone for 3 weeks or one you pick off and make bleed every other day? Picking at a scab leaves permanent scars. Re-aggravating an injury every other day vs letting it rest for as long as possible will also have potential for permanent problems.

If Mitchell is reaggravating his injury in Game 2 of the 2nd round, then the reality is that he was never going to have enough time to heal before we needed him.

And that having been the case, sitting him Game 1 of the 1st round made no sense. The additional 3 days did nothing other than making the Jazz play an extra game that Conley got injured in.

Mikes injury was also going to flare up regardless as well. Neither of their injuries were actually healed. I think if you wanted to stretch it you had to manage both of their injuries with extra days off and punting games during series. The staff knew the ankle wasn’t ready, it wasn’t, and unfortunately here we are. I simply hope he doesn’t hurt anything else in the meantime or make it worse. I wouldn’t even care if they sat him game 6(they won’t)it may be better if this series ends sooner rather than later for his health, regardless, this run is over and neither he or Mikes injury are going to be good enough to go the length of the playoffs and get us there.

Yup... he was very likely to tweak this no matter when we played him... unless we hoped to go through the first two rounds without him.

At this point they need to sit him... unless Mike decides to give it a go there is no way we beat them in LA with a one legged Don and I'm worried he's doing serious damage.

Mike would have had 8 days of rest if we had swept Memphis.

Why are some mad at Donovan for being willing to play injured
Isn't that what a pro is supposed to do
They get paid millions to play

Well, oneye just hates everything Donovan Mitchell does so it's best to just ignore him

They should have just sat both guys and tanked the playoffs for a better draft pick.

Spida and Conley questionable for tomorrow. Cool.



Us doom and gloomers were right to doom and gloom yo!

Mitchell had to play in Game 5 because we lost Game 1. That's sort of how the playoffs work, you see.

He had less rest between rounds.

He still had like 6 days, that's a good amount in the playoffs. I don't think an extra 2-3 days would have made much of a difference. Maybe if he doesn't tweak the ankle he is still 85-90%

That decision to sit Mitchell game one is coming back to haunt us. As someone mentioned before, had we played Mitchell, then the game Conley got injured in wouldn't have happened. And the sweep would have given the team more rest for Mitchell's ankle. It's quite the "Karma is a bitch" situation.
