Episode 33: Accountability and The Sacred Timeline

·1 hr 39 min·5 clips

Bub Carrington went from Bunz Carrington to the GOAT in a matter of seconds.

1. Jackpotting Around: A Utah Jazz Podcast Episode 33 centers on the “sacred timeline” around Cooper Flagg and what Utah would do if it lands him. 2. Chad Lowe hosts with Art Cummings, who is introduced as someone who “always believed in Bub Carrington,” making their Jazz fandom part of the setup. 3. The episode asks what the Jazz rebuild means after a 17-win season and a media availability that suggested another tank year is possible. 4. Chad and Art react to the Wizards’ late-game chaos, including Bub Carrington, Josh Christopher, and a backcourt violation. 5. They use the Wizards finish to joke about tanking, lottery luck, and the idea of buying a Bub Carrington jersey if Utah wins the lottery. 6. The hosts then revisit their preseason predictions and compare them with the Jazz finishing first in the tank race. 7. Chad’s 26-win prediction and Art’s 23-win prediction both missed the actual 17-win outcome. 8. They also review a preseason “Sophie's choice” between six first- and second-year players, including Isaiah Collier, Cody Williams, Kyle Filipowski, and Taylor Hendricks. 9. Chad says he would pick Cody Williams now, while Art says he would pick Cody Williams too after previously choosing Flip. 10. The discussion shifts to Bryce Sensabaugh, whose late-season shooting and defense changed the tone around his development. 11. Chad cites Bryce going 87-for-180 on his last threes, which he says is 48.3 percent, and ending the season just over 42 percent from three. 12. They say Bryce stopped possessions, took a charge, and blocked a shot, which they describe as a level of defensive activity they had not seen earlier. 13. The hosts also discuss Keontae George, with Chad arguing he is better as a two guard than as the point guard. 14. Chad says George’s lack of pace and extra dribbles make him less effective when he is asked to initiate everything. 15. The rebuild debate turns to front-office framing, and Chad argues the “first two years were just the teardown” narrative is off base. 16. He compares the Jazz situation to a failed remodel with load-bearing walls, dry rot, and a project that may need to be torn down to the dirt. 17. The tone is conversational, self-correcting, and heavy on basketball talk rather than polished reporting. 18. The hosts rely on jokes, analogies, and back-and-forth reactions to media quotes instead of reading quotes straight through. 19. Listeners who follow Jazz tanking, young-player development, and draft scenarios should get the most out of this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a tight game recap or a short news update will probably skip it.
