Do most Jazz fans not care about looking like fools to the National Media?

Don't get me wrong...I'm all about hatin as an NBA fan. It would be perverse NOT to hate NBA players, coaches, front offices, etc., and pray that they fail. But not the ones on your own team, see what I mean?
 
Ok, I guess the common idea from posters here is that most don't care at all if we act like grumpy, spoiled children and the national media crucifies us for it. Whatever.

spoiled children? Because they wanted a big when their starting center blew out his Achilles and the next guys are KK & Fes?

Getting bashed for the Fisher Lied T-shirts and the booing of Fisher ok I get the backlash on that from a certain perspective but booing a draft pick is perfectly normal and acceptable. Hey at least people give a **** here unlike a lot of NBA cities.

Yeah spoiled children. Not getting what you want, and throwing a tantrum (booing, freaking out on message boards, suggesting KOC needs bodyguards, starting FIRE KOC Threads) about it is similar to a spoiled child. If the Jazz were losers every year like the Clippers, I would understand. But the Jazz are a great franchise, and are in contention every year and fans show no respect for that.

Who did people want? Whiteside, who couldn't even make it out of the first round? Cole Aldrich, another big tall white guy (already have two of those)? Xavier Henry, he's not a big guy, neither is Paul George. Ed Davis and Patrick Patterson are the only other guys I could think of that would have made sense. Who did you want as your starting center? Is Aldrich the solution to our problems? Is he going to scare the Lakers? I think not.

I am all about booing, but at the right time. When we boo a pick just because we don't agree with them, when most people don't understand the draft, is just childish, in my opinion. Heck, we booed Stockton, bet those fans feel stupid. No matter what KOC did he was going to piss off a lot of people.
 
Fools?

You must be talking about the national media, not jazz fans, who called Fisher a classy player who never flops.
You must be talking about the national media that predicted the Magic and Cavs to play in the ECF.
You must be talking about the national media that predicted the Jazz to lose to Crymelo.
You must be talking about the national media that predicted that Kobe was getting old and couldn't carry a team anymore.
You must be talking about the national media that predicted the Rockets, then Warriors, to clean us out.
You must be talking about the national media that predicted the 04 jazz team to finish in a historic Nets like fashion.
You must be talking about the national media that predicted a 16 team Pac-10.
You must be talking about the national media that predicted the Cowboys winning the super bowl.
You must be talking about the national media that predicted a Rolling Tide beatdown on the Utes.

Fools? Aren't Jazz fans. Fools are the national media personalities who base all their opinions on cut up Brett Farve and Lebron highlights. Boo yeah.

...seems to me that Jazz fanzs booed because....they REALLY, REALLY wanted to change there image! They booed because ANOTHER skinny white guy was picked....when they really wanted to go "hopper" with an athletic black kid who could leap tall buildings in a single bound, take his man off the dribble, "create" his own shot....and if nothing more, give them some AND1 entertainment for this next season! It would have been bad had they NOT booed! There cheering would have certainly been construed as being racist! At some point, the Jazz are going to go "hopper"....just not this year!

Aint a bad theory, CJ, but I dunno....they booed Williams, too, and he's like, the hopperiest, ya know!? Throwin passes off the backboard to players behind him that he can't even see....jukin and breakin ankles with sick crossovers...not even thinkin about passin when he sees a good chance to dunk in yo face...gunnin up 3's, the whole hopper kit and kaboodle, I tellya!
 
I didn't read a lot of this drivel, but did the PTI asshats bother to mention that the Jazz fans cheered HIM when he came on the video conference at the arena?

I'm guessing no, because that would be journalistic integrity, and that's something those guys know nothing about.
 
1. Jazz fan: I'm not convinced Hayward was the best pick, given the available options, for the following reasons...

2. Drama Queen: This is a gawd damn OUTRAGE! Me and my homeys is gunna waste off 6 pages of threads whinin about this and threatenin to kill KOC

3. Jilted Frontrunner: I've had it! I'm a Laker fan now. The Jazz don't do anything I tell them to. They don't listen to me. I'm unappreciated here.

Almost everyone on this board hates everything the Jazz do, so that isnt a fair comparison. People come here to vent their anger out and get back to their lives I suppose.

They didn't boo Williams, but otherwise, good story.
 
I don't hate what the Jazz do most of the time. Although I was a bit perplexed by selecting a wing when we have such dire need for quality big bodies. But after the initial shock wore off, I am going to trust that the Jazz FO will either re-sign Boozer or find a capable backup for Millsap and perhaps pick up a capable center from free agency.
 
I've always said Jazz fans are as fervent and passionate about their team as any in professional sports, and I fully support booing Fisher, taunting Kobe, ect at games. But booing our first-round draft pick was low.

That said, if picking Hayward knocks some of those fair-weather fans who didn't know Jazz basketball existed before 2007 off the bandwagon I'm all for it. Those who really know the Jazz know how the organization has always operated and that they value stability and consistency above everything else and that they're not going to fire their GM because he picked a white-guy or fire their coach because they lost in the 2nd-round of the playoffs.
