I’m a Jazz Fan and BYU fan.
There, stage set.
I hated the absurd cheering for Jimmer tonight. Cheered when he got on the floor, when he touched the ball, when he shot, when he picked his nose. Groaned at every miss.
I wish Jimmer every success in the NBA and life, but not against the Jazz even if it’s a blowout.
Cheer for the Jazz. The crowd did cheer for the Jazz but I didn’t hear any groaning when our players missed. It was pretty over the top imo.

It also seemed an objective of the Jazz, part of the game plan, was to shut down Jimmer. Bump him, ride him, and don’t let him score... more than normal and more than any other PHO player not named Booker.

I liked it and I get it. I’d do the same if my home crowd was cheering for someone on the other team.

Good luck Jimmer. Dear Jazz fans, please don’t psycho cheer for opposing players, but the Booker respect cheer when he sat was pretty cool and classy.

The end.

IMHO Jimmer would have suited up at least for 1 season for the Jazz IF they thought he wouldnt have been a distraction for the team.

Yep i agree for the most part. Im a byu fan and a huge jimmer fan. I thought it was absurd. I think its fine to cheer for him when he entered the game. But they went overboard.

Sometimes, we take things too seriously. This whole sport is about entertainment. Jimmer was incredibly entertaining in his college days. Last night, the game was already decided and the fans wanted to be entertained again by one who once entertained them.

Think about tanking a whole season to get a high draft pick and turning it into Dragan Bender.

It was weird watching Jimmer face off a Jazz defender and the whole arena supporting the opposing player. Unfortunately, their support had the opposite affect: he forced shots and missed most of them; some of the misses were embarrasing; he didn't pass the ball to his "star" teammate who was trying to get 60 points. Now, his fans want him on the first plane back to China and that teammate would gladly pay the ticket.
 
The saddest part about the Jimmer stuff is he essentially became the kid at the end of the jr Jazz season that hasn’t scored all year... all the moms on both sides of the stands just wanted him to score.

He was legit the worst player I’ve seen play all year... awful on both sides of the floor. The cheering was weird.

I still didn't turn the TV off though.

Did anyone see that Gobert putback dunk over one of their bigs? That was pretty awesome!

Yes that was pretty sick. Gobert is the man.
Sadly, from what I understand gobert apparently set a record for most dunks in a season. Is that correct? If so, it was mostly glossed over.
That's a pretty awesome record to have imo. Surprised I haven't heard more about it.

Was it a jazz player dunks in a season record or an NBA record?

Gobert is at 275? dunks on the year, and tops for the year as well as tops for any player in any season. I think Dwight Howard had the prior record.

This is all true.
However he had about 3 really good looks from 3 and they were right online and barely missed. He had a floater right down the middle of the paint that barely missed and is almost automatic for him normally. He missed a running bank shot (basically the same shot as his only made field goal) that barely missed and he makes most of the time. He missed a scoop shot that he will usually make.

He was off last night. Happens to most players on occasion. Spida was 4-14 last night. I have seen Rubio go 1 for whatever many times.

If jimmer gets the exact same looks in his next game then I would expect that he goes 6-10 and has 16 points (or something like that) in those 14 minutes. The good news for jimmer was that he was able to get his shot off for some high quality looks that he typically makes. He probably had some nerves and was adjusting to the NBA all over again.
