I don't know if you guys were watching the Utah Jazz last night.

Should we just jump into it?

I was just like kind of spinning around the NBA as I often do on a Saturday night alone in my house.

And I saw a photo that Jaron Jackson Jr.

was playing.

And I was like, oh, I didn't realize he would be playing at all, let alone playing this early.

And I was like, let's check this out.

And for that quarter, I think it was the third quarter.

Pretty interesting, right?

Lowry's in there.

Jackson's in there.

Nurkic looking reborn as just like a playmaking hub for this team.

And then the fourth quarter hit, despite the fact that they were up seven, those guys just disappear.

And now there's another layer to this that the Magic actually struggled to win this game at the end.

And so that's another question we need to get to at some point.

But the Jazz's tanking has hidden, I want to say hidden another level, but they've been doing this because they did this the game before with Markkanen.

And I think it's kind of incumbent on us to be like pointing this out because the tanking has gotten worse.

And I think it's going to keep getting worse until people get mad enough about it.

I get that the incentive system is really the trouble here, especially for a small market team, because as we've seen time and time again, the only way for guys in Utah

in Portland, in Memphis.
