Man I totally disagree. I have never bet a single penny on basketball. I'm too much of a Jazz homer and betting on the team would have either consumed me and ruined my life, resulting in me not being a fan anymore or I would have become so bitter with losses that I walked away in time and stopped being a fan at all.

I have absolutely avoided sports betting, in particular on basketball, like a plague.

I can't say I've never bet on sports because I have bet on horse racing. When I livid in San Diego I'd go to Del Mar on occasion and bet on horses based on their names mostly but also, I can't remember the name of the jockey, but he was like a tie breaker on who I'd bet on other than Bob Baffert owning the horse or not. Won money on a horse named Futuristic, Jalapeno and a few others that I bet on simply because of their name.

Just dont bet on jazz games.
Pick 4 teams and do a parlay and bet 5 bucks. If you lose you are out 5 bucks. If you win you get like 50 or something. That is what I usually do. Very low risk/high reward.

My favorite was when he said Donovan and Rudy eat lunch together sometimes.

I kinda started questioning his ideas when he made Rubio defend harden from side on … then the Jazz fell in love with the tear drop runner / 3pt shot , it became boring to watch

Nah, I'm prone to addiction. My dad got addicted to gambling and killed himself after using his work CC to keep gambling. I can't do it right and I'm not taking the chance. Sports betting is 100% off limits for me.

Q was so predictable. It seems like we had a pattern of keeping coaches like that long term. Jerry became predictable, Ty's coaching scheme was on par with midget league, and Quin ran the same coaching scheme for years. Will Hardy is the coach we've been dying to have for YEARS.

Man I wanted lauri on this team before he got traded to Cleveland thought he was the perfect compliment to gobert smh. Here he is now tho but hey this is fun to watch . The season is long, let’s just enjoy these misfits

Ehh, we got Kirkland brand Gobert now. It'll do. . .

That actually worked though.

The Jazz lost that series because they shot like 20% from 3 for the series. But their defense in Games 3-5 was absolutely lockdown.

Couldn’t have said it any better myself!

I dont like KO at all though he had some nice moments. Felt like he almost lost the game by himself at the end of the 4th quarter.

Agree, his defense single handedly helped the wolves send the game to OT

I think Vanderbilt was my favorite player tonight. He lived up to the draymond green comparison except he is also likeable.

His game is more Rodman than Green

Denver that we beat easily first game is on the way to beat GSW..... this season will be strange foe sure....

And Murray didn’t play in this one.

I’d rather root for a lower level team who outplays my hopes, than a team with a great roster who always disappoints.

Last season was my worst as a fan of any team every. And I’m 59.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Play of the game for me was JC WITH 1min left in OT, drives, meats Gobert, does a 180 in air and does a blind kick out to Conley for a huge wide open three for a 2pt lead. I can’t stress the level of difficulty on that pass. How did he even know Conley was there??

What's wrong with those assholes? Playing well and competing like men. I watch basketball to see these guys lose!

I like this new era of young coaches being able to relate to the athletes of the day. The camaraderie Hardy seems to have with the team has them buying into selflessness, team work, and grit.
