I see a lot of complaints about the Jazz Players

[LogGrad98]

In all honesty, everyone needs to lighten up. Fans are "fanatical" about something, that is the definition, so when they feel they have an emotional investment it is only natural to question, complain, argue, suggest, bitch, moan, cheer, express displeasure and excitement alike. It is part and parcel of being a fan. For those of us who own season ticks, or who regularly attend games, it is more than an emotional investment so we feel we have a quasi-"right" to call for change. Since the Jazz FO won't listen, this is our forum to do just that. As far as fan forums go, this one is not as extreme as others I have frequented, and many here have a solid understanding of the game and can carry on a good convo/argument/debate/discussion. The one thing that separates this forum from others I have been associated with is the vitriole spewed between/at other posters. So you disagree, fine say that, give a counterpoint, tell them to check facts, but the childishness of the "delete your account", "you are a moron", and constant sarcasm tends to get old pretty fast, not to mention boring and predictable. In the mood to criticize a player, or the coach or GM or team in some way? Be prepared to have your intelligence, meaning as a human being, and/or sexuality called into question. For some reason many here feel the need to or get off on belittling other posters rather than discussing the merits of the post. As I said, childishness. But mostly at tolerable levels, thank goodness.

That said, this is a pretty good forum, and at the very least it is pretty entertaining, which is the whole point of being a fan after all: entertainment. The Jazz and the JazzFanz forum will never cure cancer or solve world hunger or even make much more than a fleeting difference in the local community, but it sure is a great way to kill a few hours!

what happens here when the Jazz lose a game?

 

[twentytwo]

JEFFERSON SUCKS HE CANT DEFEND AND HE IS A BLACK HOLE. BRING BACK BOOZER. WILLIAMS SHOWS WHY CP3 IS BETTER. HE IS NOTA REAL LEADER. MILES IS A CHUCKER AND SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE TEAM. SLOAN SUCKS HE CANT COACH FIRE HIM ALREADY. WHY IN THE HELL IS PRICE/WATSON OUR BACKUP PG?? ITS OBVIOUS THAT PRICE/WATSON IS SUPERIOR TO PRICE/WATSON. AK IS PLAYING FOR CONTRACT AND PADDING HIS STATS. TRADE HIM ASAP. TRADE HIM FOR THIS SCRUB WHO PLAYED WELL AGAINST US THAT ONE TIME. KOC IS DESTROYING THE TEAM.

That's what the board is like after a loss. It's really entertaining.

This is a great post.

For the first time in a long time, I like all the players that are on the Jazz. I don't mind when any one of them is on the court...well, except when having one of them on the court plays into the hands of the opposite team. But that's most Sloan than anything else.

Anyway, the mental component that means more to me than anything is clutchability. Miles does not have it.

Talk about zero entertainment value. Now please delete your account and seek the nearest cliff.
