Jazz Ban 3 Fans Indefinitely for Heckling Ja Morant's Family During Game 2 | Flipboard

Bleacher Report - The Utah Jazz have banned three fans for their actions in the stands during the team's 141-129 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. Morant took to Twitter to address the matter (Warning: Tweet contains profanity): Morant's father, Tee, told ESPN.com's Tim MacMahon...

This has been a problem during the playoffs. Nba is ramping up fan attendance and seems we’ve forgotten how to act. It pisses me off whenever I here stories of jazz fans acting like asses to opposing players or their families. At least these assholes are getting banned. I hate that Utah is getting this kind of reputation thanks to the 1%.

If the Clippers do beat the Mavs, I'm hoping it's in a very brutal, drawn out seven-game series. Ideally, the Jazz, hopefully at least, can take care of the Grizzlies in four or five, which will give them some rest heading into the second round.

I do feel confident in Utah taking the Clippers, tho, in a seven game series. The one thing I'll give Dallas over LAC is that they're much better coached and that can pay off in the playoffs.

Ummmm, you are keeping track of what’s happening, right? I mean if the Clippers win it’s going to be a 6-7 game series. Lol
 
This is a quote from former player Etan Thomas from the articl. Basically singles out utah as much worse than most. It’s pretty unsettling.

"I can recall countless road trips looking around the arena in Salt Lake City and being shocked by the faces of hate glaring back from the crowd. Every away building is a hostile environment with passionate fans rooting for the home team and sometimes crossing the line. But in Utah, it’s different. There are abundantly clear racial undertones to the heckling that seem to hover in the arena."

I don’t go to many games, maybe two or three a year in the nose bleed section, but is it really that bad here?
 
I can’t decide who I want to win out of LAL or Suns, can’t decide who I fear more. On one hand Lakers are big and athletic with two big mega stars, the kind of team we don’t match up well against.

Chris Paul seems to kill us no matter what team he’s on along with Booker has had some big big games against the jazz. Luckily we don’t need to worry about either team till the third round.

looking forward to this game tonight.
 
It is astounding to me that there were incidents at three games last night like that.

In all my years of attending Jazz games (probably 60-70 games), I don't remember overt racist comments.

I have never thought it was a problem.

I do wonder if a black athlete hearing and seeing a black fan yelling "you suck" with a mean look on their face feels different than a white fan yelling "you suck" with a mean look on their face.

Agreed. Kind of a toss up.
I guess I would rather face the suns at their best than the Lakers at their best. Will the Lakers ever be at their best though?

Lakers will more likely have the NBA 6th man on their side, especially in the WCF, where we would be forced to play 5 on 8. At least with the suns there is more likelihood of the series being officiated fairly.

I don’t know, but I would be curious how much underlying beliefs about an area impact this. For instance, if someone were to hear something said at MSG, is it easier to say “wow, there are racists here,” rather than “wow, they are racists here”? Same for Utah. The difference is subtle, but important.
 
There is a trick question in a clinical setting where someone comes in with bad asthma, shortness of breath, and wheezing. You give them a breathing treatment, but then the wheezing gets significantly worse. What’s happening is that you’re opening their airways to the point where they’re moving much more air, causing the wheezing to sound worse.
