What happened
The Jazz went 0-3 and slid to 1-5, and the fanbase's patience went with them. A 110-105 loss to Memphis was blamed on injuries, with one fan calling Trip and Lau being out "fucking horrible." The real break came in the 117-111 overtime loss to San Antonio, where Will Hardy benched Darryn Peterson and let Collier dribble out possessions, decisions one fan simply called "trash." Then Portland won 112-90, and the verdict arrived: "we look worse than when we were tanking." At least tanking had a plan.

“Yes let's coach darryn peterson tough and bench him in OT to prove a point about execution while letting collier 'execute' dribbling for 15 seconds every possession without any changes”
