...makes me realize how lousy the ESA crowd is in general. As soon as time expired the FedEx Forum erupts into cheers. The OKC crowd did the same thing a few years back their first year as like a 7 or 8 seed when the Lakers beat them. I feel like we would be booing and throwing **** at the refs if we were to be swept by the Spurs. Oh wait, we totally did that when they bounced us in '07.

This next year how about:
We don't boo DWill when he comes back
We don't boo klinks, even though he was a total baby
We don't boo Millsap and/or Jeffy
We don't boo horny when he comes back because we wish he was coaching the Jazz
We don't boo the Jazz at all, even when they get smoked at the end of a quarter/half.
We don't boo Sloan even if he's coaching the Clippers.

Boozer? Keep booing that piece of crap.

We should try to be classy. Not dumb.

Except for boozer. F that guy.

Memphis gave it all out there unlike the Jazz last year.

This.
I agree the Jazz crowd can be pretty dumb booing Dwill - he didn't bail on the jazz, the jazz traded him.
But the Memphis crowd had a great team to cheer for. Jazz fans didn't have that this year. This past year the FO deserved to be booed. Unless of course it's all part of some master plan to get Ty fired + next year's #1 pick. But if this was the case the brilliant plan was well hidden under tremendous stupidity. Randy Rigby should be the Jazz mascot. And we can throw things at him.

Screw classy. I like that the Jazz fanbase is the NBA equivalent to the Raiders. Cheering when your team gets swept is pathetic.
 
I think me Grizz fans were showing appreciation for a job well done. Did anyone expect them in the WCF? Nope. Most folks picked them to be dumped in the 1st round by lob city.

Contrast this with the jazz. complete opposite.

The jazz deserved to be booed. They played 4 completely noncompetitive games. They refused to even Change things up. Remember how fans called for Hayward to guard Parker? Don't recall that happening until games 3 or 4. Remember how josh Howard started? And played a lot? Um yeah... Did kanter or burks even enter any of the playoff games? And favors didnt start until game 4.

If you remember, jazz management tried to sell us on that whole "experience" thing. They admitted that the series would be over quick. But they yelled from the rooftopS, "our young guys will get valuable experience!!!"

So when jazz fans saw 4 worthless games of vets sucking and young players picking splinters out of their rears, I think they booed out of frustration for Ty and the FO more than anything else.

Funny, how the entire 13-14 season was essentially the FO "booing" and "flipping the bird" to the fans. I wonder how season ticket sales are going with this upcoming abortion of a season just a lil more than 5 months away?

+1

Circumstances are not even remotely comparable. Memphis had their most successful season in franchise history. A few bounces go Memphis's way and their up 3-1 in the series instead of being swept. In comparison, Corbin was so thoroughly outcoached by Pops in last year's playoffs, it was a complete joke of a series.

I was actually there ironically, in Memphis for work and was bored so decided to go.
The FedEx arena is incredibly nice, I was amazed at how much nicer everything there was. It was kind of like walking into the new Megaplex theaters.
The crowd was great, I was really suprised by that as well. They were really into it and they were very appreciative of what the Grizzlies had accomplished this season.

memphis played their balls off. a few different bounces here or there and this series would have been 2-2.

last time jaz zpalyed the spurs. only guys playing their balls of where the so called "scrubs"
 
Can we at least boo the hell of Derrick Fisher?

I have no ill feelings toward any fellow Jazzman, save for Fisher. I deplore him to his weaslely core.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
In games I've attended where the season has ended in the playoffs ('08, '10, '12, etc.) it seems like we've always cheered at the end of them.
 
The circumstances are totally different (by that I mean expectations and history), no denying that.

I do think Jazz fans have gotten somewhat spoiled especially the younger generation that were in Jr High or High School when S&M were making their finals runs. So with that history the playoffs is almost perceived as given and Jazz fans expectations have grown.

The Grizz do not have much if any history except the recent 3-4yrs and this year to me was similar to the DWill led team that lost the LA in the West Conf Finals, by beating HOU in round 1 and then GSW in round 2. So they overachieved and so of course there is a lot more to be happy about as a fan, period.
 
carroll got cheering.
we wont cheer for lame-o's like jefferscuk and raja bell.

if they want to be cheered for they should follow carrolls example
