Typical crap. I've been to many home jazz games and sat in many different parts of the arena, and I don't know what he's talking about.
And this whole "nothing to do" idea about Utah. Is that just code for "not enough places to get loaded"?
Yeah, we all just sit around all day with nothing to do until a Jazz game starts....

People always whine about the Jazz homecourt when the jazz are winning. Kind of like back in the day when players used to suck oxygen durning games. You didnt' see that kind of crap during the lean years circa 03, did you?

Hi think the comments by Bucher were funny and kind-of true. I mean, people around here are ultra-competitive for some reason. Just look at church basketball... your Bishop, the nicest guy in the neighborhood, can suddenly turn into the biggest jerk on the block. People here definitely love their sports. I've been to a lot, and I mean A LOT, of Jazz games over the years, and the fans can get kind of ridiculous with their boos and yells, but then again that's one of the reasons the Jazz are such a great home team.

So when the Golden State fans get loud and obnoxious, it's a great story. When the Sac fans got crazy during their good years, it was a great story.
But a lot of commentators seem to get bent out of shape when the jazz fans get loud and obnoxious.

But hey, if opposing players and commentators are already making excuses, so much the better.

uh-oh...I've done some thinking and I need to say...

Bless me Locke, for I have sinned.
I watched the Celtics play a home game the other night and I have to admit that the Boston home crowd and the on-air commentators are really first class. When the refs made calls against the Celtics, the fans politely nodded their heads and after the replay on the jumbo-tron, I could hear fans saying "Yeah, Garnett got him on the arm"
The fans clapped nicely when the other team scored and I didn't hear one swear word at all.
Not only that, the Boston commentators really had good things to say about the opposing team and at the end of the game, they went out of their way to compliment the refs on a well-called game.
In fact, there was one bad call against the Celtics, and the commentators said "Hey, nobody is perfect...can't fault the refs when they miss one once in a while"
All this great sportsmanship made me realize how bad the ESA is, and I am so ashamed.

I guess the jazz home crowd needs to learn something from the rest of the league or David Stern may take the team away from us!
Come on, Jazz fans. Start watching other NBA games and take lessons on sportsmanship from the rest of the league!
