Jazz were losing at halftime, solely because Collin Sexton is one of the dumbest basketball players I’ve ever seen. That’s not hyperbole.
Dumb. Both ends. Conley is out, so Sexton and THT were the only point guards and THT just on brain and not being a moron was 10x the point for Utah tonight. If he had started instead of Sexton, Utah wins this game going away. But back to Bull being dumb.
Clippers kept abusing him on the defensive end. Pick n rolls and iso against our guy. Compromising the Jazz team defense and getting Vanderbilt and Olynk in foul trouble because they were thinking for him and trying to help cover his lack of thinking.
After 5 mins in the 3rd, Will Handy had seen enough so he subs Collin out for THT and the Jazz take the lead heading into the 4th. Not exaggerating. THT and the defensive collective turned the entire tide of the game and had the Clippers looking lost without Collin to pick on for easy baskets.
I’m ecstatic. This is the last leg of a 12 leg parlay that turns $2 into $750. Im giving the Jazz 3 points so I basically need them to either lose by less than 3 or win the game and I win. DraftKings offers me $500 at the start of the 4th but I’m like, nah, Utah figured this out and will probably win. Give me all of my coins.
Unexplainably, with a 4 point lead and about 10 mins left, Handy decides to give Sexton another chance.
Ty Lue goes RIGHT back to exploiting Sexton and takes the lead back by 4 with 4 mins left before Handy takes Sexton out and spends 2 possessions arguing with him on the bench about his missed rotations and inability to move the ball on offense. The NBA TV cameras watched him chew him out literally for 2 mins.
Moral of this story: I know stupid when I see it on the basketball court. And gratefully, my team avoided giving stupid a 4 year nearly 100 million dollar deal and continuing to compromise every young player on our team who had to think for him while all he could do was score.
I’m so grateful for it that I’m not even mad he cost me $700 being stupid tonight.
End rant.
