I'm wondering if the Jazz decide to give him extra rest since they won Game 1 without him.

Give his knee a couple extra days and hopefully be ready for Game 3.

It's highly doubtful he'll be ready for game 3... he'll be lucky if he makes it back during this series at all. He's still limping... it's probably a solid 2 weeks out. That's a maybe for a game 7 (if the series goes that far).

That sucks. :-?

Man the Warriors get to play the Blazers with an injured Nurkic.

Then perhaps the Jazz with an injured Gobert.

Both centers could have given the Warriors so much problems.

Talk about a cakewalk to the WCF..

Michael Beasley's injury looked very much like that this year, same diagnosis (hyperextension). He missed 17 games.

During regular season players are prone to sit longer since games aren't worth that much, but the best player during the playoffs will try to comeback asap, also the way he was moving around yesterday on the knee I can promise you he wont be out over a month like Beasley was. I see him coming back in a week, two tops.

Just because in spite of Doc, i LOVE this team. It would just confirm most things that ppl say. Chokers, overrated etc. I would think if they lose, doc goes, jj goes and probably the big 3 is broken up as wel.

I love the team too but we need a real GM in place and a modern head coach. At least strip him of the president of basketball operations and GM duties and have him be the head coach only. You can't play around with the GM position these days- its a real 24/7/365 job now. Drafting well, developing youth, proper trades, scouting the d-league and overseas, etc. He's gotta go as the GM bro, no doubt about it.

Oh i agree with you. Shoot, fire him as a coach for all i care, just don't want to see this team get broken up and if they lose i dont see a way around it

I do think that if the Jazz win tonight the Clips won't be mentally strong enough to come back in the series.

SocalJazz · Post #796 » by **SocalJazz** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 11:58 pm

My prediction is that the series will be tied up 2-2, Rudy returns for game 5, best 2 out of 3 to finish out the most exciting series of the first round, may the best team win.

Gobert is walking without a limp and has been taking some shots during practice. Nothing strenuous but the signs are good.

Yeah, Chris Paul sucks.

Stoked · Post #799 » by **Stoked** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 2:53 am

Jazz need to wether this storm and hit back with slow full time clock buckets. Start sucking up the clock and slow the pace by getting back.

Clips should take this one. Knowing them though, they are susceptible to getting caught up playing at Utahs pace after a good start.
