Backlash Jazz are getting for tanking is beyond stupid

Related Topics: Jazz, Lauri Markkanen

The Utah Jazz have embraced the tank since mid-November. After starting out the season surprisingly decent, the team has more or less continued the same strategy they did last season. There has been one recent alteration: playing their main guys the first three quarters, only to throw in the reserves for the last one.

They did this in their game against the Atlanta Hawks a few nights back (Thanks for the assist, Jock Landale!) and then did it again against the Orlando Magic. Both of these games featured the Jazz controlling much of the game until benching Lauri Markkanen and co, allowing their opponents to take the game back.
