Despair no more Jazz fans! You have gotten your wish; your team is tanking. The front office might not admit it, they might claim they are trying to win every game. But while they may be trying to win, any team that willingly acquires Andris Biedrins is not planning a victory parade any time soon.
One of the main beneficiaries of this tankjob is Alec Burks. For the past two years he has been buried on the bench, despite his promising scoring prowess. Now, free from the burden of his team actually winning games, and outfitted with a shiny new nametag that reads “Alec Burks – Maniac Chucker off the Bench”, he can finally shoot at the level Jazz fans feel is appropriate. Which seems to be every possession.
Until he gets his minutes taken by Jamaal Tinsley or something. Remember, Tyrone Corbin is still the coach.
And Matt Harpring is still the announcer.
I don’t think I’m gonna watch any more Jazz games this year.
