To boo or not to boo?

[Inn Dawn]

Boozer did quite a bit for this club too. How did that end?

You don't have to cheer him every play. Just give him a standing O when they do starting lineups.

I agree. But based on the terrible behavior of Deron last season, I'd give Okur a standing "O" and give Williams token applause. The are few players I'd boo. Not surprisingly, most either play for the Lakers or Heat!

It would be completely bush league to boo Deron. Not sad he is gone but no reason to boo

 

[freakazoid]

Cheer. No hard feelings. Don't need to add more fuel to the fire he will already have. Plus we want him to come back remember?

I don't think he's coming back, but I do think other players notice the way a fan base acts. These guys aren't just players, they're human beings like the rest of us. I personally just don't see anyone being all that impressed by fans who turn to hate so easily, and forget all the positive contributions. Gratitude and compassion for a tough situation just seem more sensible to me.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I will boo the hell out of him! He didn't want to be here so good riddance. I would have no reaction for Okur.

 

[jazz_fanatic]

I'm gonna wear my DWill jersey...'cause that's the only jersey I have. And I'm gonna write HOWARD on a piece of paper and tape it to the back. Yes! Saving money.

Oh, and no booing from me.

this.

 

[BENTLEY]

Save the boos for guys who deserve it. Otherwise you deflate the boo's value and make them common.
ie: Boo Fisher. Don't boo Deron.

 

[Orange4Life]

Golf clap for Deron. Standing O for Memo! Anyone who boo's Memo is a disgraceful human being.

 

[TheSilencer1313]

I'd clap for both of them.
Memo is one of my favorite players, and D-Will did help take us to a Conference Final.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

I will show no reaction

Golf clap for Deron. Standing O for Memo! Anyone who boo's Memo is a disgraceful human being.

I'm split on no reaction, and golf clap one time for Deron and Memo.
I don't see the harm in a golf clap before the game starts, but once the ball is tipped, it's on.
I still would not boo, very few players out there I would boo.

I hope the fans don't boo. Jazz fans are loyal and they love their team. I get that but it is time to show some class. Do not burn bridges because the guy you boo today might be the guy who puts a dagger in your heart tomorrow. Just cheer loudly for the Jazz. Neither Memo/DW every said anything bad about the state of Utah or their time on the Jazz.
