Let's make this **** count for something.
ESPN is saying it's the 5th worst home defeat in NBA history.
When your team loses by 55 points someone is bound to end up with the eye-popping negative numbers due to unlucky substitution patterns.

Excellent commitment to the tank. No half measures today

Coming into the season, I wondered what it would look like if Cody Williams was our best player. We can safely say we’ve now answered that question.

We had like 60 points' worth of "talent" sitting on the bench by design.
Anyway – congrats, tankers! Wonderful thing you got going here. I'm sure it'll be very easy to aggressively sit Lauri the rest of the way now that we have drawn the attention of the league to one of the worst (tank) losses of all time.

We saw historical levels of youth development. Dudes left and right developed themselves into new jobs in China and Montenegro. Yes, more of this.
And all you dudes with the "Keyonte is as good or better than Lauri" takes. No, he isn't. Apparently he's still the same player that is capable of completely and visibly giving up and throwing his toys out as the rookie that we saw.
Sure. To me it looked like pretty much everyone showed that they need to be shipped out - the quicker the better.

I actually think that Hardy overdid it a bit. He put out a starting five where the only scoring threat and the only playmaker was Keyonte. That is putting a tremendous amount of pressure on your young point guard. There was nobody else among the starters who could even dribble or bring the ball up.
Make no mistake: this disaster was carefully engineered but it probably surprised Hardy himself how well it worked. Simply adding to the starting unit Collier, Clayton or Svi would have made a world of difference in the first quarter, when the Jazz fell into the offensive abyss.
