Donovan is pissed at some stupid Jazz Fans

[oneye]

Hood shot 1/7 (all 8 shots were bad looks with a hand in his face) in only 6 minutes before fans strarted booing. Jazz fans weren't booing Rodney on a personal level. They are booing terrible basketball.

Boo hoo, you don’t kill a guy for it. Loyalty runs both ways. Don’t ask guys to be loyal you aren’t loyal to. Throwing Hood under the bus is terrible, and there’s no justification for it. Completely understandable if Hood wants to walk away, even guys like Hayward if you boo them the second they’re down.

It’s still poor form that they chose to direct at Hood. As already said players remember that. Looks bad.

I agree. If I was in attendance I would never boo our own players. It doesn't help anyone.

I just think frustration is building for everyone involved with the Jazz this year. The fans, the players, the coaches, everyone. This isn't how anyone wanted the season to go. It's just tough.

So what mythical team will he go to whose fans never booed their own player.

Hayward went to Boston, who booed Marcus Smart for bricking a FT in their series vs the Bulls last year.

Ive seen crowds boo teams, this was directed at Hood and corresponds with the hate he’s getting on social media. Some Jazz fans burned by a bridge with Mitchell tonight, and for an embaressing reason.

 

[Et tu Brute]

And he should be. Loyalty is a 2 way street. I completely forgive Hayward at this point. Booing Hood is disgraceful and embarrassing. Those fans aren’t loyal, why should guys be? When Donovan waves goodbye to an entitled, embaressing, unloyal fan base....no one bitch okay.

Hood deserves a standing ovation when he checks in at the next home game. Period.

Well said everyone. Glad there's at least some loyalty in here. Support our guys during the ups AND downs.

I feel this is a little naive of Mitchell. It's nice and all that he wants to stick up for his buddy, but why name and unintentionally shame Hood! This is dumb as... Just drawing attention to it as some other posters stated.

Secondly, don't go telling fans paying good money that the players are working their butts off. Give me a break. The booing is not about effort its about being ***..
Sure it aint my style to boo players specifically - but I would be booing the organization and coaching staff at this point...

DM comes off looking a little too sure of himself when he implores fans to act as he desires them.

No, he’s a good person and has his teammates back who he sees every day. Mitchell has the right to say whatever he wants, and he also has every right to walk one day too. You’re the one with an entitled attitude saying a player can’t stick up for his teammate. Hayward was probably unloyal though right? Guess fans can kill a guy at any given moment and that’s not unloyal by any means.

The more I think about it, the more it feels like booing Rodney is an embarrassment for those who did it. If they were booing him for lack of effort, not getting back on D or something like this, I can understand but booing him for shooting, the one thing he's actually been pretty good at this year is insanity. I completely agree with Mitchell on this one. Just embarrassing

Chill. I wasn't one of the people booing. I've been very displeased with Rodney's play lately but I would never boo one of our own. I was simply pointing out that I don't think the fans weren't booing Rodney on a personal level. They were just booing bad basketball. Frustrations are boiling over for everyone involved with the Jazz this year. Been a tough year.

BS...
I didn't say he couldn't say it - but he leaves himself open to critique when he does.

He didn't name and shame him. The reporters were asking about it after the game. It was out so he defended him.

Hill and Hayward left. Rudy has been out over half the games. What the hell did people expect?

They weren't all bad shots, but for fun I'm going to go back and examine all of his shots in his first stint on the court...

1st shot: https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=...tle=MISS Hood 12' Floating Jump Shot&sct=plot

This is a classic example of what Zach Lowe talked about with Hood settling for his comfort floater. It's not a terrible shot, but he takes one more strong dribble he can force the defense into a tougher situation. Sabonis would have to step up and he could either attempt a lefty layup (his strong hand) off the glass, or try to wrap around a pass to Favors. He would also have Mitchell in the corner if he drove it to the baseline.

2nd shot: https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=...p Bank Shot (3 PTS) (Mitchell 1 AST)&sct=plot

Not a great shot, but also one I don't mind Hood taking. Oladipo had a good close out and manged to bother Hood, but Hood got lucky.

3rd shot https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=...18&title=MISS Hood 24' 3PT Jump Shot&sct=plot

Not much to say. Great shot, just missed it.

4th shot https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=...18&title=MISS Hood 25' 3PT Jump Shot&sct=plot

Same play as the 3rd shot. Great look, just missed it. These are the kind of shots we pull our hair out over a guy like Ingles passing up

5th shot https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=...18&title=MISS Hood 24' 3PT Jump Shot&sct=plot

Semi-transition open 3 on a great pass and find by O'Neale. This is a great shot, again, he just misses it.

6th shot https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=...title=MISS Hood 13' Pullup Jump Shot&sct=plot

First shot I can say I really have a problem with. He puts Al Jefferson in a transition PNR (great idea). Then drives the ball into him, only to pull up. If he is goign to take the jumper in this situation, he needs to abort one dribble earlier and rise for the 16'. Here he kind of commits to half way driving and it just ends up being a contested, slightly off balance jumper. Again, one more dribble puts Jefferson in a tough spot.

7th shot: https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=...18&title=MISS Hood 25' 3PT Jump Shot&sct=plot

The best shot of the bunch. Wide open and in transition.

8th shot https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=...ood 11' Turnaround Jump Shot (5 PTS)&sct=plot

This is a move Hood seems to be doing once a game recently. He recognizes the mismatch and gets his guy in the post. Great move to get a wide open push shot in the middle of the paint. I'd like to see more of this. He can't get on top of the rim or blow by anyone, but he can be crafty in the painted area if he wasnt so eager to pull up for difficult shots or trying to barrel into defenders.
