I am not the crazy cheering type but I will be clapping vigorously for the two of them and Gaines as well. That game winner is just too much fun to replay.

On night this farmer tried to have sex with his wife and she shunned him. So he got up and walked out of the house. A few minutes later he came back with a sheep under his arm. Looking at his wife he said "See! This is the cow I have to try and sleep with when you are being unreasonable."

The wife responded "You idiot that is a sheep. Damn you are stupid." The farmer replied "I was talking to the sheep you heifer"

I dunno, sounds to me like you are an abusive jerk. Or a jerk at any rate.

What sin is it that he's supposedly been forgiven for?

For me? Not playing in a Jazz uniform. For what ever reasons that may or may not be his fault the bottom line is that he is not a Jazzman. I will cheer him when introduced but after that it is game on. For any game any ex Jazzman plays against any team other then the Jazz welll then I wish them the best.
 
I'll cheer him. No need to boo him. He didn't demand a trade. He played hard while he was here and that's all I expect from players on the Jazz.

This is one of the worst posts I've ever read on this board.

What makes you think Deron was an abusive jerk? Then you go on to say, 'nothing quite like people who forgive anything easily,' as if you're casting judgement on a group of NBA fans who still have respect for their favorite team's one-time franchise player. It's one thing if this were a forum about a real community and this was a thread about welcoming back a former harmful criminal with open arms, and to say 'you people forgive too easily', but obviously that's not the case.

The scariest part of all this is that I remember you saying you were a teacher in a prior thread. For society's sake, lets hope your students don't learn a THING from you.
 
He was traded and it was as much a surprise to him as it was to all the fans. He didn't request to be traded like Howard, Paul, or Anthony. Plus, maybe if he is cheered by the Utah fans he will sign with the team again next season. : )
 
I wouldnt boo the guy, loved him in a jazz uni. i still watch a few nets games here and there to see what he's up to.

Who said anything about Deron being an abusive jerk? I simply stated that people here are too forgiving. Remember, this is a player who hounded out our coach of 20 years. Deron Williams isn't a Jazz institution, Jerry Sloan is.

His behaviour the last half a season in SLC was nothing short of reprehensible. I wouldn't act that way at a McDonald's fryer job, let alone in a position where you're a hero to thousands of people.

Yeah, I'd boo him. I don't care what he's done in the past. Again, like an abusive relationship. You don't stay with someone because of how good things used to be, you leave because they're ****ty now.

Oh, and luckily, laymen have nothing to do with training and certification of teachers. As it should be.
 
Once again, Deron didn't run Sloan out. Sloan ran himself out. He has dealt with far worse attitudes than Deron's. He was the example of never quit and do everything your hardest. That is until He quit midseason and ****ed us over.

And it all had absolutely nothing to do with Deron, then?
 
Sloan was old and tired. Deron was the same as all the rest that butted heads with Sloan - and there were plenty. The difference this time was that Sloan finally bowed out.

Don't over-dramatize it all - "hounded out our coach of 20 years." I was ready for Sloan to retire at least 5 years before he did.
 
Besides Sloan isn't all butt-hurt over it, so why do some people feel they need to be offended by proxy?

In my opinion no. How many coaches have up and quit because of one player, midseason? Not many. Especially the likes of some one with a track record like Sloan. He took the easy way out and quit. He should have at least finished out the season. He demanded his players play 100% when they were on the floor and if they didn't, they got an ear full. So why does that allow him not to do the same?
 
"I have no hard feelings. I have nothing but great things to say about the organization," Williams said. "They gave me my first chance in the NBA. They gave me my first big contract in the NBA. ... They're a well-run organization. I just thank them for everything they've done for me."

And the fans.

He loves Utah's fans.

Heck, Williams remains a fan of those Jazz fans who used to roar when he made tricky passes that led to Kyle Korver 3-pointers and Boozer dunks, or when he tripped up a defender with his cross-over dribble or when he exploded over an opponent en route to the rim or, well, when he simply played for their team.

Asked what he misses most about being with the Jazz, Williams talked about "playing in front of the fans" — the 19,911 who filled the arena with electricity, passion and, in his opinion, a vibe unparalleled elsewhere.

"We ..."

Williams caught himself and chuckled after saying "we," and continued.

"They have the best fans in the NBA, I believe, game in and game out," Williams said. "They support the Jazz no matter what the record is, how we're playing, who we were going up against. They just always had our back."

Lol. Yeah, the current system sure proves this right. The entire certification system is a joke. And Deron's reprehensible thing short of reprehensible? Wow, you are a nut.
