You're already grinding axes.

We're just starting the podcast.

Like, what is stuck in your craw, Justin?

First of all, I don't know if you guys were watching the Utah Jazz last night is the most group chat statement imaginable.

So we can only be ourselves.

Yeah, I'm okay with pointing it out.

I mean, we can be the ombudsman of NBA tanking and competitive equity, but to what end?

Like, what are we hoping to solve or fix here?

Because the NBA has kind of been gesturing at trying to fix this stuff for years.

Justin, you said the Jazz have been doing this for a while now.

They've been doing it for a while in seasons lengths, like year over year over year have been doing this now.

No one really seems to be all that bothered by it.

I wouldn't go that far just because this feels like one of those things that real people, and by that I mean not us, don't care about that much.

If you are a hardcore Utah Jazz fan, are you aware of what's happening?
