Jazz Coach Has Poetically Profane Reaction To 50-Point Loss To Mavericks

There’s really nothing to say when you’re an NBA team that loses a game by 50 points, but Jazz coach Will Hardy managed to perfectly sum up a brutal defeat at the hands of the Mavericks with three words that made it very clear he was not thrilled with what transpired in Dallas.

Will Hardy was only 34 years old when he was hired to replace Quin Snyder as the head coach of the Utah Jazz, and he took the job knowing the franchise was in the midst of a rebuild under the watchful eye of Danny Ainge.

Gregg Popovich’s former protégé finished with a 37-45 record in his inaugural season with the Jazz, and the team hasn’t exactly staged a dramatic turnaround this year (although it’s pretty hard to put all of the blame on Hardy for their struggles when you take a look at the roster he has to work with).

On Wednesday night, the squad that currently sits near the bottom of the Western Conference (trailed only by the Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, and the lowly Spurs) fell to 7-14 on the season after losing a decidedly one-sided showdown with the Dallas Mavericks by a score of 147-97.

Hardy was not in the best of spirits after the 50-point loss for reasons that should be fairly obvious, and he certainly didn’t mince words when recapping his team’s miserable performance.

Here’s what he had to say:

“That was an absolutely horrendous performance from start to finish. That was a masterpiece of dogs—. I really don’t know how to describe that game.”

Hardy wasn’t the only person involved in the contest who deployed some profanity after it came to an end, as Luka Doncic dropped an F-bomb in a postgame interview only to swear again while trying to apologize for the slip of the tongue.
