I disagree. Utah fans are terrible.
So terrible they have made the Millers HUNDERDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Even though the Jazz haven't sniffed the Finals in almost 15 years, they keep the Jazz in the top 10 of attendance.
Former players come back and they are booed.
Former players who the fans feel slighted by. Deron said he wanted out. He was shipped and bitched about it. Fisher, who everyone knows is scum now, lied to the Jazz. The players come to Utah, are adored, get to play in front of packed crowds every night, make millions, then whine when they don't show any sort of loyalty back? Boo Hoo.
KOC works miracles and he is booed,
What miracles has KOC worked? The AK contract? Drafting Borchardt over Boozer? Humphries over Al? Having two expiring Bigs that either don't want to stay (Paul) or aren't worth what they will get paid (Al) and getting nothing for them? Drafting Hayward over George (even though I like this move) while Hayward mans a team that is fighting for the 8th seed and George is an All-Star on the third best team in their conference? Trading Deron for a player that Corbin feels is our 7th best player, then getting a third pick, drafting a guy that Corbin feels is our 11th best player? Having the most LOYAL coach quit on you, and not being able to hire his top assistant THAT NEVER LEFT HIS ASSISTANT JOB BECAUSE HE LOVES UTAH SO MUCH, and making a TERRIBLE hire to replace that coach? Resigning Harp and Memo. The list goes on and on.
What MIRACLES has KOC performed here?
Greg Miller keeps the team and he is mocked.
He wasn't mocked for keeping the team. He is mocked for getting into arguments with Malone. He is mocked for thinking that Jazz fans are dumb enough to be happy watching a crappy team struggle to the playoffs, play the Spurs, talk about how scared they are of the Spurs, and then get promplty blown out of the building.
Ty Corbin makes a relatively successful transitions from a HOF coach and he is mocked, booed, and called an idiot. The team is trying to make the playoffs and they are ripped apart by a bunch of twitter hacks and posters, booed by some and ignored by too many. Al Jefferson is considered the #2 FA this summer and Jazz fanz can't wait for him to be gone.
Twitter hacks? Read this:

It's not twitter hacks and Jazz fans. It is EVERYONE OUTSIDE OF THE ORGINIZ
Jazz Lost the starting Center, PF, SF, sg, and pg from the 2010 playoff team, and then lost the coach and #1 assistant but still have managed to make the playoffs last season and be right on the edge again this year. While still managing to assemble 4 lottery pick players.
Like I said above, they couldn't keep the #1 assistant that still lives in Utah and now currently works on their broadcast. Johnson loves Utah, and at worst, really, really, really likes the Jazz. He left due to the management's mishandling of the Deron situation.
Who are these lottery players? Hayward, who only plays 25 mins a game. Favors who only plays 22 mins a game. Burks, who only plays 15 mins a game and Kanter, who only plays 15 mins a game. Either the Jazz suck at picking talent, developing talent, or aren't playing their best players. Either way, the Jazz have a problem.
Jazz fanz booed Derick Fisher despite Fisher making what should have been one of the most storied playoff appearnces in franchise history.
Fisher's actions that last couple of years have kind of justified Jazz fans. Bad example.
We booed Boozer for leaving even though we booed him or demanded he be traded the entire time he was here.
The guy that was always hurt? The guy that said he wanted to "get paid"? We loved him before he did those things.
D-will was traded, for players and picks that we all love, and we boo him when he returns.
Again, Deron said he wanted out. He ran Sloan out of coaching. Again, Deron's actions the last couple of years has justified the boos.
AK brought energy and excitement to a City that out of loyalty had endured too many dwindling years of Stockton & Malone--and we booed him, mocked him, begged for him to be traded.
If the Jazz didn't overpay him (KOC), then we love him. If he didn't decide to change his whole game, so he could score more, we love him. It wasn't all AK's fault, but he definitely didn't live up to his contract at all.
Harpring missed too many lay-ups. Okur was too slow and should have played inside. Sloan was too predictible. Miller was both too cheap to bring in good FA's and paying the luxary tax for players that we all didn't like.
And yet KOC resigned them all at over-valued prices.
Jazz needed a new face, a new identity, they drafted Hayward, and we booed.
While passing on All-Star Paul George, leader on the #3 team in the East.
We were excited to be rid of Boozer, and getting a real player like Jefferson who blocks shots. Now he sucks, can't wait for him to leave. Boozer was fake we hated him. Jefferson is real we hate him. Deron was moody we called him mean. Hayward keeps his head, we call him soft.
Read above.
We boo Jefferson, we boo Mo, we boo Marvin, we boo Foye. We want them gone. Whoever replaces them we will boo them too. Hell we even boo the sorry chap Jimmer Freddette when he gets to play his pathetic two minutes.
Where is your mention of all the players we love? If Jazz fans are so terrible, why are the Jazz in the top 10 in attendance, even though the team hasn't been a competitor in almost 15 years? Why does the Miller organization use the Jazz to market their other business ventures? If Jazz fans are so bad, why are we used so often?
What would make Jazz fanz happy? We weren't happy with 50+ wins and conference finals, we weren't happy with rebuilding, we weren't happy with old system, we aren't happy with the new. So what is managment left to consider?
You're an idiot. We are happy with those things. We LOVED a 42-40 team that tried. We supported the third worst team in the NBA, knowing we would get a great lottery pick to compliment our hard working players on the 42-40 team. We don't like players that don't try. We don't like when the Jazz decide getting swept in the first round is better than getting better. We don't like being slightly better than average.
Greg Miller was in NY this week to be on the Committee of NBA owners who were evaluating the proposals from the Seattle and Sacramento. If I was Greg it would be VERY difficult to not consider selling. Whats that? He can't risk his other business's by upsetting the people?---The people are already upset, and maybe nothing is going to make them happy.
Again, you are an idiot. Greg Miller has made, at worst, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS off the Jazz. In fact, if you looked at their total profits from the day they bought the Jazz, I bet the profits are OVER A BILLION DOLLARS. And that doesn't include how he has used the Jazz and the goodwill of the fans to build his other ventures.
Yes, go Jazz.
