Donovan is pissed at some stupid Jazz Fans

[fallenchicken]

Fans should never boo their players at the arena for playing badly. Don't think Mitchell should have called them out on twitter though because it just calls attention to it and puts even more pressure on Hood.

Also discussion and criticizing the team on a forum created to discuss the team is not the same as booing at the arena. I saw a post or two drawing that comparison, come on.

1st shot: Bad look. Forced floater over three defenders

2nd shot: Heavily contested 3 pointer that he was lucky to make

3rd shot: His first decent look. I don't have a big problem with this one. But it was contested. And is often the case with Rodney, if he makes one pass there his teammate gets a wide open three.

4th shot: Decent look, but unnecessary to take. The shot clock just reset.

5th shot: Another heavily contested shot.

6th shot: Another heavily contested shot.

7th shot: Agreed, this is the best shot of the bunch. No problem with this one.

I'll stop there because it was after shot 7 when the boos started. So 4 bad shots that were heavily contested. 2 shots that were decent looks but if he made a better decision the team could have had a better look. And 1 great look that just didn't go down.

You got to be dumb as rocks if you think those 3's were bad looks.

Or maybe you are Joe Ingles and only think 3's should be taken if you have 10 feet between you and the closest defender.

So what? I still don’t see a reason to boo your own guy. There were two player (Favors/Mitchell) who deserved cheers tonight. If youre going to boo, boo the whole damn team because 12/14 guys sucked, not just the one. Also, it is becoming obvious Hood doesn’t stand up well to this and his character is not to admit he’s wrong, but that anyone who criticizes him is wrong and will just further put him in the dumps. His postgame comments on this issue are Trey Burkesck

Did I say anywhere that it was a reason to boo?

They were going on his twitter feed and telling him Rubio needs to be traded so he would flourish more with the ball in his hands. This is not the same as we here discussing how Rubio needs to be traded. Hell, I want Rubio to be traded too, but how stupid do you have to be to go to Mitchell himself and tell him that? Stupid and embarrassing.

Stupid or not it's the reality with social media. Like if be stunned if it didn't happen. I'm sure every player has been told they need to get rid of one of their teammates for multiple reasons, or just to tell them.

 

[Hotdog]

What an embarrassment NBA fans, Jazz fans, and people are in General.

If you find yourself booing your own team you are genuine retard and human garbage with no compassion for other human beings. And only fake it when you say you do.

Seriously, how big of a loser do you have to be to do that.

This feels a bit strong to me. How many ways can (or should) fans demonstrate their opinions)?
Are people on here human garbage when they publicly ridicule players?
Are people better off not forking out the money to go and therefore show no interest? I bet the Jazz FO would prefer a bit of booing.

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.

Not saying you do this, but I love how fans always get mad at players for leaving to take more money “they already make millions, do they need a few more??”, but then act like they have the right to treat players anyway they want because they pay “good money” or “hard earned money” to watch them.

I think this was classless and ignorant to boo our own player on our own court. Donovan has a good head on his shoulder.

Agreed pretty classless - but not sure it was very ignorant. Maybe the singling him out was too harsh and a little ignorant.

This is extremely disappointing, but it all comes down to how we treat each other everywhere. This forum is a perfect example. People get on here, cuss and degrade others, call our players trash, and piss on everything. Social media and forums just breed negativity. That negativity is bound to spill out in places like the home court.

I blame our management for all of the frustration. I don't blame the players. We lose an All Star wing and we expect to replace his production with guys who never produced offensively (Thabo, Jerekbo). Fans expect Hood to take some miracle leap in production with less talent around him. We use a draft pick and precious cap space getting an uptempo PG who isn't a shooter to go into our offense which is the slowest in the league.

Outside of Mitchell, our front office has been making terrible decision after terrible decision. Fans should boo the FO, never a player.

Good point. I guess I should have said potentially ignorant. Maybe it’s a shooting slump, maybe it’s an injury, maybe it’s built up frustrations, or maybe it’s something else. All I’m saying is fans probably don’t know what it is (although I’m sure we all have our opinions).

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.

Stop being so dramatic.
