Raptors blown out in Phoenix & addressing the NBA's rampant tanking problem w/ Vivek Jacob


Episode 1852


The Toronto Raptors got spanked by the Phoenix Suns on Monday night, 129-89, in a game that very much fell in line with the team's tanking agenda -- but does the league have an existential threat on its hands with the widespread on-purpose losing going on around the league? In Episode 1827, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to go over some brief thoughts on the Raptors' loss to Phoenix before turning their attention to the league's tanking problem, whether it's as serious as it feels like it is right now, and what can be done to remedy it. Off the top, they chat about Jamison Battle officially being put on Donyell Marshall Watch, the struggles of Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley in the loss, and why this game symbolized the fact that the NBA's season is just too long. Plus, they get into why it is in fact a problem that a third of the league is trying to lose for the last quarter of the season, the unintended consequences of the flattened lottery system, and what they would do to curb tanking if put in charge themselves.
