Game 21: Utah Jazz (7-13) @ Dallas Mavericks (11-8)

Olynyk, Markkanen and Clarkson are still listed as OUT. It's starting to feel like the Jazz started tanking early this season.

They have Doncic and that's enough. Irving being out should help their defense and the Mavs can actually play defense this season.

Did not realize Exum was still in the league. Good for him. Hope it's going well for him.

He played overseas for a few seasons and was signed by the Mavs this offseason. Good to have him back.

Agbaji was good and Hendricks was decent. The Mavs had one of those nights but even so we still sucked. It's amazing how we can't take care of the ball--so many bad passes and players getting stripped.

As for George, while he'll get the benefit of the doubt from me all season long due to him being a rookie who never played PG, he has a lot of work to do regarding his efficiency and ball security. While it's very common for rookie PGs to shoot poorly, what's concerning to me is that he also shot poorly in college so hopefully he'll learn and grow in the offseason and come back with a much more efficient game.

Will Hardy calls it like it is.

From the basketball's perspective, travel is a nice pause from being pounded to the floor.

A philosophical question:
What is better: to produce great dog crap or to produce bad dog crap?

Not even on the same planet with a Jerry Sloan rant. Miss some of his rants.

This year tanking is much better. Still behind Spurs, though. They need to accumulate a few assets more to become undisputed tanking champions. Next season, may be
