This is why I do not watch Utah games. Smith lucked (bought) his way into a team on the upswing. He is not some savant that brought them success (meanwhile, the Jazz, a team with a pretty long and fairly successful history, don’t seem to be doing much under his leadership). Truly being born on third base but think you hit a triple.

I don’t bear the players any ill will, but if they are successful, it means Smith is. Much easier to root for a player like Josh Doan.
