What Utah is doing is disgusting. They pulled Markkanen, JJJ and George from a game they were winning on the road. It’s ridiculous.
Edit: they pulled all the starters, not just those 3.
Edit2: also, they had a 17 point lead, which they lost, and at no point did their coach call a timeout.
That’s a disgrace. The idea that Adam Silver is powerless here is absurd. Hardy and Ainge should be suspended and the Jazz should receive a major fine.
There are so many teams with lottery protections this year the league is going to be a joke if this kind of stuff goes unpunished.
FFS that would be punishable if it happened at the end of the season but we’re not even at the all star break. To do that in this gambling environment warrants action. Suspicion of gambling is enough to warrant punishment. Make them explain themselves.
