Trying to extinguish the flames on the Donovan Mitchell vs. Ben Simmons rookie of the year debate on the Weekly Run podcast

(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Utah Jazz vs. Boston Celtics, NBA basketball in Salt Lake City, Wednesday March 28, 2018. Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (45).

The playoff race, Rookie of the Year debate, missing (or not missing) Gordon Hayward — what isn’t there to talk about?

In a week where a whole bunch of Jazz takes have been Kissed By Fire, Aaron, Tony and Kyle try to make sense of it all on ‘Weekly Run’, The Tribune’s podcast about the Utah Jazz.

Here’s the rundown:

At 1:45 • The loss to Boston. Should Jazz fans be concerned about these kinds of performances heading into the playoffs?

At 7:00 • Are some of the issues just season fatigue? What are the areas where the Jazz can be sharper?

At 10:30 • Being a good fourth quarter team versus being clutch, and what it means with Donovan Mitchell as the crunch-time guy heading into the playoffs.

At 16:15 • Is it a scorching take that the Jazz don’t miss Gordon Hayward?

At 20:50 • We step into the tire fire that is the Internet Rookie of the Year debate, asking for peace between fan bases.

At 24:50 • Why Dante Exum deserves a larger rotation role and how it might shake out this summer when the Jazz try to keep him in restricted free agency.
