Donovan is pissed at some stupid Jazz Fans

Meh not really my style to boo anyone home or away, but fans can boo players for sucking if they want to. You drop a few hundred on the game, a couple hundo a year more on your cable package/league pass or whatever other swag you buy, you can express you dissatisfaction however you want in my opinion. Booing happens because it’s the most direct way for fans to express dissatisfaction. Would I do it, no... but I understand why others do (every team in the league gets booed or has players who get booed at some point).

It’s an over-reaction from both sides tbh
 
All 30 fanbases in the NBA are capable of this and when the team starts losing a lot of that frustration will come at an individual or the team as a whole. Rodney was just in the path of the tornado tonight. If Ricky goes 1/8 (or whatever it was) in the 1st quarter by that last miss he would've gotten the boos.

Yeah, but we had someone on Jazzfanz say "Hood shot 1/7 (all 8 shots were bad looks with a hand in his face)". That just tells me the narrative surrounding Hood among fans is so strong they their reality of what actually took place is warped. Not that the narrative isnt partially deserved, but when it over takes everything, it's just dumb.
 
BTW this is the second time this month Mitchell has expressed public frustration/disagreement with how Jazz fans are treating his teammates. The previous one being about fans telling him Rubio needs to be traded.

Not sure what this means. I don't like when fans boo their own team at all. I'm not justifying it. Those fans are idiots. I'm just saying it's a fact of life in the NBA on occasion. If a player bases their FA moves on it in just not sure where they'll go. Maybe Golden State since they win all the time.

I understand booomg the entire team during a game like tonight. And all those people in this thread pointing out plays Hood did wrong, are just dumb. You could find every player on every team doing stupid things every night. Don’t point out 10 plays to me and justify a guy getting targeted and booed.

The Jazz team as a whole deserved to be booed tonight. One individual player did not. Hood came back and shot 50% from the field and gave 14 points. That’s a heck of a lot more than a lot of guys did tonight and he gets booed? I don’t think that’s a problem, but when you single a guy out it looks worse and creates more problems than good. Rodney’s struggles are worse at home than on the road. Booing the guy to further shake him doesn’t help a thing.

Burks and Rubio were clanking shots left and right. Didn’t see them getting booed. If you’re gonna boo, boo the whole team. I get you pay good money to be there, but singling a guy out is wrong. Especially when he hasn’t done or said anything negative about being here or the fans. Boozer deserved the fan hate, Rodney Hood does not.
 
Also, I wouldn't boo him either.... or anyone on our team. Doesn't mean I don't want some people traded though

Given the circumstances as a fan, and all those things happening. Yes I would expect to have this record. Anyone who didnt is naive.

Dude is that logical.

The fans didn't expect those things... So now that they have eventuated they are frustrated. They shouldn't have expected all those things happening - and a number of them are things that 'shouldn't' have happened.

Burks missed quite a few shots in a row? No boo birds then.

I’m not saying before they happened but yes, if you were at tonight Game given the circumstances....this is where you should expect to be. I’m not saying prior to, but if you gave me that list and said what will your record be today, it would be what it is. A lot happened, and the record we have after all those things happened is what it should be.

I love Mitchell probably more than any Jazz player since Stockton, but man, if he doesn't expect fans to want trades in this era of basketball...I just don't know what to say. That's just a super common fact of life for any team with a fan base.

They weren't all bad shots, but for fun I'm going to go back and examine all of his shots in his first stint on the court...

1st shot: https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=1&GameID=0021700647&GameEventID=70&Season=2017-18&title=MISS Hood 12' Floating Jump Shot&sct=plot

This is a classic example of what Zach Lowe talked about with Hood settling for his comfort floater. It's not a terrible shot, but he takes one more strong dribble he can force the defense into a tougher situation. Sabonis would have to step up and he could either attempt a lefty layup (his strong hand) off the glass, or try to wrap around a pass to Favors. He would also have Mitchell in the corner if he drove it to the baseline.

2nd shot: https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=1&GameID=0021700647&GameEventID=81&Season=2017-18&title=Hood 26' 3PT Jump Bank Shot (3 PTS) (Mitchell 1 AST)&sct=plot

Not a great shot, but also one I don't mind Hood taking. Oladipo had a good close out and manged to bother Hood, but Hood got lucky.

3rd shot https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=1&GameID=0021700647&GameEventID=115&Season=2017-18&title=MISS Hood 24' 3PT Jump Shot&sct=plot

Not much to say. Great shot, just missed it.

4th shot https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=1&GameID=0021700647&GameEventID=117&Season=2017-18&title=MISS Hood 25' 3PT Jump Shot&sct=plot

Same play as the 3rd shot. Great look, just missed it. These are the kind of shots we pull our hair out over a guy like Ingles passing up

5th shot https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=1&GameID=0021700647&GameEventID=135&Season=2017-18&title=MISS Hood 24' 3PT Jump Shot&sct=plot

Semi-transition open 3 on a great pass and find by O'Neale. This is a great shot, again, he just misses it.

6th shot https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=1&GameID=0021700647&GameEventID=139&Season=2017-18&title=MISS Hood 13' Pullup Jump Shot&sct=plot

First shot I can say I really have a problem with. He puts Al Jefferson in a transition PNR (great idea). Then drives the ball into him, only to pull up. If he is goign to take the jumper in this situation, he needs to abort one dribble earlier and rise for the 16'. Here he kind of commits to half way driving and it just ends up being a contested, slightly off balance jumper. Again, one more dribble puts Jefferson in a tough spot.

7th shot: https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=1&GameID=0021700647&GameEventID=150&Season=2017-18&title=MISS Hood 25' 3PT Jump Shot&sct=plot

The best shot of the bunch. Wide open and in transition.

8th shot https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=1&GameID=0021700647&GameEventID=196&Season=2017-18&title=Hood 11' Turnaround Jump Shot (5 PTS)&sct=plot

This is a move Hood seems to be doing once a game recently. He recognizes the mismatch and gets his guy in the post. Great move to get a wide open push shot in the middle of the paint. I'd like to see more of this. He can't get on top of the rim or blow by anyone, but he can be crafty in the painted area if he wasnt so eager to pull up for difficult shots or trying to barrel into defenders.

Absolutely worthy of it's own thread. Nice post.
 
Meh, he shot 1/7 tonight, but has played pretty bad basketball for a while now. I wouldn't ever boo a jazz player, but I could understand why some people might.
