When you have success, inevitably you get haters and doubters.
Tony Jones knows what it’s like. But so do the Utah Jazz, who have won 11 games straight, but now have people asking how far they really can go from the current 10th spot in the West.
That’s just one of the topics tackled this week on Weekly Run, The Tribune’s podcast about the Utah Jazz. We’re joined by special guest Andy Larsen from KSL.com and ESPN 700, who sits in to talk about a star-studded All-Star Weekend, how the rest of the schedule shakes out for the Utah Jazz, and other pressing topics from around the NBA.
Here’s a rundown:
At 2:45 • Recapping All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, from the Dunk Contest judges, to Donovan Mitchell’s time to shine, to Fergie’s “rendition” of the national anthem (and everything in between).
At 14:05 • Breaking down the craziness of the Western Conference playoff race, and if the schedule favors the Jazz in a dramatic way — segueing into a conversation about the many tanking teams in the NBA.
At 21:40 • Looking at the Sports Illustrated report on the corrosive Dallas Mavericks culture that created a hostile work environment for women.
At 28:00 • Are the Cavaliers definitely the best team in the East after their flurry of trades, including adding Rodney Hood?
At 32:00 • A look at the guys in the 2018 NBA Draft, and how it should look for the teams vying for top-10 picks.
At 35:00 • Does tanking have a collateral negative effect on the teams who do it?
