I'm sorry guys, but your section on the Jazz is so poorly thought out. First of all, you act like they've been dragging some rebuild on indefinitely. Nah. They've only really been rebuilding/tanking for 1.25 seasons. Before that they piddled around in the for 1.75 seasons, which was their big mistake. But to act like they've been some shameless tanking team for eons is ridiculous. Look at Washington and Charlotte. Look at Detroit before last season. The Jazz are a respectable franchise. Draft luck is the difference between you guys being excited and acting like a team is a travesty. Think about Minny, Orlando, OKC, San Antonio, and now Detroit. Wow, what smart franchises…oh, they also got top 2 picks. The only reason your opinions are what they are is because you spare them zero thought. Try harder. Last season was a nightmare, and I could barely watch them. I knew that would be the case even before Hendricks got injured. But this year I'm excited. Why? Because I've seen enough signs from some of their young guys (because I actually watched them unlike you guys) that I know there will be some fun this season. This is how a rebuild works. You tank until you get some luck. Get real, RealGM. I'm going to subscribe and like this video because I'm a fan. But come on.
Actually this whole damn podcast is an exercise in homerism. You talked about Nikola Topic for longer than you talked about the Timberwolves 🤣
