Donovan is pissed at some stupid Jazz Fans

Boo Quin for having the players take so many threes. Mitchell is good because he is the only player driving anymore on the team. The rest stand around an brick up threes. I hated when Malone stopped attacking settling for long twos. I couldn't stand Boozer shooting instead of attacking. Now the whole team just shoots and only Mitchell attacks.

If anything we need more guys to shoot open threes. Threes are not the same as long twos. They are way more efficient ways to score. Did we teleport back to the 80's when we didn't understand this principle? Guys need to take the open shot all the time in this offense. To me it is so dumb to get upset that this team isn't performing. We are missing our best player, and two key reserves. We also picked up a player that was meant to compliment a guy who left, and doesn't really fit. If anything I think DL deserves some blame for making the choice to desperately go after Rubio instead of waiting to see if Gordon would commit. I also think the decision to bring in that player (Rubio) was just questionable overall. I see fans get upset about Quin's offense so much and I just wonder who in their right mind would criticize a system that produces so many open shots with so little offensive talent? I can only conclude that it is people who don't understand the modern game.

I'm not going to go through every shot like you did but he shot 5 or 7 after starting 1 of 7.

He clearly improved in the second half - I don't know if it was because of the boo's but I pointed out that it was interesting that he did. So maybe his skin is a little thicker than even he thinks it is.

I'm not saying I would have boo'ed, what I am saying is that if I'm a guy and I'm plunking down 3 bills plus to take myself and my family to a game to watch a guy, virtually single-handedly (yes, I know, he wasn't the only one) shoot them out of a game, while the team has been losing, then I'd be inclined to boo too. I certainly wouldn't blame him anyway.

Ahh yes, the "I paid money so I get to act like an *******" argument.

But they sure don’t like it when players use the argument....”I’m gonna get paid regardless”..... You bought your ticket, that’s true. You have a right to boo, that’s true. Players simply have the right to remember, and take their talents elsewhere. From a fans perspective I understand the sentiment, players obviously don’t. Hood didn’t handle it well as you see from his comments last night, and Mitchell didn’t like it either. You can think that’s petty or they should be able to handle criticism better, but if they don’t they don’t. If they feel slighted they eventually will look at the greener grass elsewhere. You may have paid your ticket price, but 29 other teams have money to spend, and sure every crowd participated in bad fandom one way or another, but that doesn’t mean the grass doesn’t look greener elsewhere. The team or a certai player shouldn't feel worse at home than on the road. If they do, you aren’t a very good fan. Like it or hate it, super stars are what make the NBA and get you wins. The Jazz have one, be patient, give the organization some time to figure this out after a devastating offseason—as well as players like Hood who have been thrown through more than one loop this season, don’t chase your first real talent in a couple decades out the door by booing his teammates for no good reason and to no benefit.

I like the idea of Rodney taking pressure off by getting aggressive vs. relying on shooting to get going. If Quin could have him pass more that might help too. But do we really want Rodney to start playing well?
 
I mean, if you go to a movie and you dont like it, do you open up your cellphone and start talking?

It's the same thing. People are going to the Jazz game, usually to root for the Jazz and have a good time. They dont want to hear some losers boo.
 
It's amazing to me that fans don't understand how fans act. They cheer. The boo. They get emotional. Fandom.
If you're butthurt because fans boo athletes for whatever reason they choose, whether you agree or not, you're a cupcake and a ******.

Fans understand it, I understand it....it’s obvious players don’t understand the mentality of fans directed boos at someone in particular. You can call them a cupcake, it doesn’t change how they feel about it nor does it mean they won’t remember it at a later date.
