No intro music. No jokes. Just fire.

Matt breaks down the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery disaster—where the Jazz fell to 5th despite having the best odds—while Dallas, San Antonio, and Philly magically rose to the top. 

He exposes the patterns, the hypocrisy, and the league’s blatant disrespect for small-market teams. 

If you still believe the NBA Lottery is fair after this episode, you’re not paying attention.
