Please stop booing Boozer

Carlos Boozer and Benedict Arnold have very little in common.
[Note by clarkpojo, 01/03/09 10:36 PM PST : I didn't notice that Sherbs had written a similar article about Boozer almost two weeks ago. I apologize, because it was a good post. Read it here.
Hey Jazz fans,
Can I make a suggestion? Stop with the hatred for Carlos Boozer. I don't care how you feel about him, but if you only harbor ill will towards him, keep those feelings to yourself. Whether you like it or not, Carlos Boozer plays for the Jazz and he most likely will for the remainder of the season. And what good does it do to hate him and boo him and write mean things about him other than make you feel better about yourself? I am not a Carlos Boozer fan. I am an avid Jazz fan. I think Boozer is very talented and that he is a below average defender and needs to improve in this aspect of his game if he is going to be great. And in his defense, he showed some defensive improvements in his game before he was injured. But in hopes of building some team and fan unity and decreasing the negativity in an increasingly pessimistic world, I want to dispell a few myths to clean some people's distaste for Booze.
Myth #1: Boozer is faking the severity of his injury and is trying to miss games.
I have defended Boozer on his injury before. Lots of Jazz fans seem to be of the opinion that Boozer should either play through the pain or that he is getting a 3rd MRI so that he can find someone who will validate his decision to sit out. That’s ridiculous. Team doctor Lyle Mason also concurred that this surgery is necessary. The team is fully aware of his condition and the level of pain is the only thing that Boozer could lie about. Kevin O' Connor said on Locked on Sports that he has seen how swollen Carlos' knee gets after exercising and that isn't normal. Boozer isn’t just dogging it or pretending the knee is worse off than it is. It is disappointing but a player wouldn’t get away this long just for sitting out because they wanted to. His knee just isn’t healing like it should have by now. And from Boozer's latest comments to reporters, we can infer that he was seeking a 3rd MRI in hopes of avoiding surgery, rather than seeking surgery as many Jazz fans believed.
Myth #2: The Jazz are fine without Boozer.
We can all agree on one thing. Paul Millsap is an absolute beast/stud/warrior/whatever positive thing you want to call him. Saying the Jazz aren't as good without Boozer isn't a knock on Millsap in any way. It is a knock on our team's depth without Boozer. With a healthy team we have Boozer and Millsap at the power forward. Without Boozer, we have Andrei Kirilenko and Kosta Koufos as backups. And if AK is playing backup power forward, then we are very thin at small forward, relying more on Matt Harpring and CJ Miles. With Boozer we are title contenders or at least a top 4 team in the West. Without Boozer we are contenders for the playoffs. Even if you think Millsap is as good or better than Boozer, the Jazz would have to replace Boozer with someone as good as Millsap in order to avoid having a worse team.
Myth #3: Boozer cost us the series against the Lakers last season.
This myth is difficult for me to debunk because I thought Boozer had a poor series against LA last season. Furthermore, if he had played even an average game in any of games 1, 2, or 5 last season, we probably win that series. And I don't feel bad for pointing him out because I think Boozer would be the first to admit the same. But as poorly as Carlos Boozer played against the Lakers and Rockets last year, he played that well against the Rockets the year before against a similar;y tough defense. So we know it isn't a habit. You can have a bad series or two and still be a fantastic and clutch performer. And my more important point is this. We Jazz fans always find scapegoats for why we didn't win a championship. In '97 it was Malone's inability to hit free throws. In '98 it was the ref's missed call on Jordan's pushoff of Bryon Russell. Last season Boozer became the scapegoat in many Jazz fan's eyes and it's been downhill for his reputation since. Consider this. Sometimes the Jazz just lose to the better team. (I don't include the '98 bulls in this explanation because I still believe we were the better team that year and that we had a mini collapse 8 minutes from a 3-1 lead.) But the Lakers were probably just better than we were last year, plain and simple. Boozer didn't play well, but it wasn't his fault that we lost that series.
Myth #4: Boozer is a snake and disloyal to the Utah Jazz.
Don't confuse Boozer's decision to opt out as a sign that he doesn't like playing in Utah or doesn't like the Jazz organization. Remember that he has said a couple of times that he wanted the Jazz to draft him originally. In these economically hard times it is difficult to hear Boozer make comments about his guaranteed raise and not feel some sadness or envy. But Boozer has the option to seek a better contract after this season if he wants to. His decision to opt out will only confirm what we knew all along: the fact that Boozer loves money: That is just like 99% of Americans and 100% of NBA players. He admittedly made a mistake by announcing his intentions 30 games into the season. That was dumb. But let's move on. While I would personally take a pay cut to play or live in a place that I preferred, Boozer obviously will follow the money and try to find a place that his family wants to live. You can't fault him for that. I know it is difficult for Jazz fans to believe, but there are other good teams to play for and other neat places in the country to live. Until we have evidence that Boozer isn't giving his best to help the Jazz win games, you can't call him disloyal.
So in closing, let me paint a little scenario. For all you fans who have publicly booed Boozer, how would you feel if he returned to the Jazz in March/ April and helped the team to a deep run in the playoffs and a world championship? Wouldn't you feel a little sheepish for biting the hand that fed your championship hunger? If not, then at least imagine the fact that Boozer will probably play better if he is supported by his home state fans instead of heckled by them. And if he plays better, then the team will be better. So, if for no other reason than to help the Jazz win, please, stop booing Carlos Boozer.

I am of the opinion that this is something that should be booed. Outside of that, this was a great fanpost.

I’m from Portland and there are a lot of guys that would die for the town, including Martell Webster, Channing Frye, Steve Blake, Joel Przybilla, and Dan Dickau.
Joel turned down the Spurs’ offer one year, despite it being worth more than the Blazers’ offer, and that was in our darkest hours, when we were a complete bombshell of a team. Turning down the Spurs, fresh off a championship AND offering more money?
Joel is a hero in Portland for doing so. That’s dedication to a franchise.
Oh yeah, and he’s playing with a broken hand right now.
That’s the kind of thing I would love to see out of Boozer, and the rest of the NBA.

Of course, we’re 8-25, so we’d probably take Benedict Arnold, too, providing that he can crash the boards and consistently hit the mid-range jumper.

I agree
stop with the booing.
Truthfully, I just want the story to go away. We’re in the middle of the season… the status of one player should not be dominating the headlines.
Myth #1… its crap.
Myth #2… I’d like to believe, but its not true.
Myth #3… it’s not all on Booze, but he deserves quite a bit of blame for his total disappearance when we most needed him.
Myth #4… snake? Sure. Disloyal to the Jazz? Nope. Do I wish he would’ve delayed his announcement? Yeah… but we knew it was coming anyways. And unless he absolutely blows the Jazz off in the off-season, there’s no reason to think of him as a snake.
Great post though.
Have to ask… are you sure you’re not mis-hearing? Maybe the “boo” is short for Boozer. :)

I'd like to clarify my position...
I’ve stopped booing Booze (I only booed him in my mind though, because I haven’t been to a game in a very long while). In fact, I stopped caring about it quite a bit back.
As for everyone else… do as you wish.
While I disagree with Booze’s opting out statement… at least the timing of it… and while I’m not impressed with the way this injury has been handled (by him, by the team, by the doctors/trainers, by everyone involved), the thing to keep in mind is that he suffered this injury while playing basketball, which at least makes it partially better than if it was something like Monta Ellis or (closer to home) Jarron Collins or the likes (as was mentioned below).
Do I wish Booze was playing right now? Yes.
Do I wish Booze had given us more games for the money he’s getting? Yes.
Do I wish Booze had shown up in the series vs. the Kobes last year? Yes.
Do I blame Booze for his injuries? No.
Injuries happen, we have to live with them.
Boo if you want, it’s your choice. Just remember that he was giving it his all (or most of it) before the injury.
If you are going to boo someone… how about Flop? I mean seriously… a golf cart?

Amen, stop booing Booze
We, as Jazz fans, embarassed oursleves when we booed Fisher, and we are doing it again by booing Boozer. Yes, he’s opting out, but so would anyone who can get more years and a better deal. Booze is just trying to get a fair market price. If you have a problem with that, boo Adam Smith and capitalism.

Stop booing?
Why?
As fans our money pays their salary. If I don’t like the product that I am paying for then one of my ways to show my displeasure in what I spend my time and money on is to boo. If you don’t like it then don’t YOU boo, but don’t tell me not to boo! Boo-whoo!
If Boozer wanted to be traded last year, according to LHM, and is saying he is opting out to, “…get a raise” then you better bet your money that I will boo. I will boo his ass all day.
He’s got a sweet set-up and if he doesn’t have the PR sense to not say what he said then he should face the boos!
As a fan who contributes to the Jazz in apparel and an occasional game, I felt like my money got spit back in my face. I’ll boo that!
I’ll praise Boozer and consequentially I will boo him when I don’t like what I get. Just the nature of sports. If you don’t like it, don’t be one who boos.

But when you take back that double cheeseburger, do you jeer the cooks and tell them how much you dislike your service?
Probably not. Why? Because if you booed the cooks, the likelihood of the cook spitting in your food would increase by about 500%. You would just ask for what you ordered. My point is Booing Boozer is one way to show your displeasure with the product, but it is also the dumbest way. It does no good, but make you feel better. It could, however, make Boozer disinterested in playing well for the fans in Utah if we keep booing him. It only causes hurt feelings. I was also saddened when we booed Derek Fisher, but at least he was playing for another team at the time, so it is a tiny bit more understandable. But Kobe Bryant took the booing personally and killed us in SLC. So how did booing Derek Fisher work out for all the Jazz fans. It made Kobe mad and lost Jazz fans the respect of the average NBA fan.

you are one of the
ignorant, fickle fans.
If “I don’t like the product that I am paying for” then don’t keep giving them money, i.e., going to games and buying apparel.
Boozer wanted to be traded last year because of his son’s sickle-cell anemia, not because he didn’t want to play here, and once his son got better there was no trade issue.
Opting out doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to play here. He has a chance to make more money, why wouldn’t he opt out? Boozer doesn’t owe YOU or any other fans ANYTHING. He owes his employer (NOT you) his efforts, which, due to his injury, he is physically unable to perform right now.
I’m not sure what you want from Boozer. Do you want him to play? We all do, but he’s hurt. Do you want him to give up his salary? Would YOU?

hmmm...
… seems I have become a public enemy on this subject. Are you sure about this statement:
once his son got better there was no trade issue.
Apparently you have more insight on this. Please share it with us.
No where have I ever said that I want Boozer to give up his salary. No where have I said that I think he is faking an injury. No where have I said that Boozer owes ME anything. He does owe the Jazz organization.
Don’t assume that just because I say it’s ok to boo Boozer that I am the guy that hates Boozer and everything he’s done. I don’t trust Boozer at all, but I like what he has given us when he is on the court. I don’t like the way he has handled the PR aspect of all this. He has brought it all the comments he is getting on himself.
But I think it is 100% ok to boo a guy if you don’t like what you are getting out of him. That’s the difference between me and you I guess.

You should refer to my response to CB Jack to see why I disagree with you, but also..
I have every right to tell you not to boo Boozer. You may not care, but people outside of Utah tend to hate Jazz fans. You may take solace in that fact, but I personally think it hurts our team to be known as jerk fans. I have always wondered, “what do home fans think refs are going to do when we incessantly boo them and yell horrible names at them?” I believe that most refs are professionals and just call the game like they see it, but you have to believe that not every ref can be unbiased. Some booing is understandable. It is part of the game, but when you boo the refs constantly and make booing mean, I guarantee human nature takes over and the refs make calls to spite the crowd. If anyone was at the BYU-Wake Forest bball game, you saw this first hand.
It is almost never okay to boo your own players or your team. It is so useless. And P_Dizzle, if you didn’t like your cable service would you go stand outside of the Directv offices and boo them. It does no good.

Actually I root for BYU and Utah pretty equally. I don't really care tons for either team.
But I got a ticket to go see that game and I knew it would be a good one. I was pretty embarrassed for the BYU fans. They made asses of themselves generally speaking. And sadly, many Jazz fans make asses of themselves with their antics, but mostly their booing of every call, even if it is the right one, and alienating themselves from the general NBA public. I consider myself one of the biggest Jazz fans there are, but I don’t have to hate everybody else to be a good Jazz fan. Except I do have to hate the Lakers.

outside perspective on jazz fans
there do seem to be more stupid jazz fans than stupid fans of other teams, but i think it would be ridiculous to make categorical statements about the lot of you. i think part of the reason you guys get more jerks at your arena is because of the rep that place has for being nasty. that arena is the toughest place to play in all of basketball right now, and you know it and love it (i know that one personally, because at one point on this blog, i made a crack about the roaracle being the toughest place to play and you guys rightfully jumped all over it. we wish we had the home court advantage you have, and our building gets pretty loud, if i may say so myself). i can fully understand fans showing up and trying to make it murder on the visitors. you’ve got to defend that title. it doesn’t always go well.
i’ve heard the tales of flying objects, racial slurs, and the booing is well documented too. i’ve never been to a game at energy solutions, but this is the stuff we hear about outside of salt lake city. the sort of stuff that is totally unacceptable and has no place in sports or anywhere, for that matter. it’s really easy to hear about that and think that’s what you should expect when you go to a game there. the fisher case is the most obvious one, and it’s been brought up a few times in this thread, so i think it warrants another mention. that was classless and embarassing to the utah jazz, the nba, and salt lake city. i don’t care if he left your team, what that guy sacrificed in the playoffs for you earned a standing ovation, not a chorus of boos.
like i said, that building is hostile. it’s a point of pride. unfortunately, that comes at the cost of fans trying a little too hard to be obnoxious. i love a little jeering and heckling at games. it’s part of the fun, it just needs to be good natured. your building seems to have an “us vs. them” “with us or against us” “life or death” feeling to it, which brings out some hateful, awful fans and boozer seems to have wound up on the “them” side of things, which is too bad for him. if he’s hurt and playing, you can’t expect him to be the same player. he might need to play at 85% just to play at all. it’s unreasonable to demand more from him.
i said it before, i’d love to have the home court advantage you have come to oakland, but if it’s at the cost of the respect of everyone who watches basketball or cares about treating people like people, i’m not interested. i’m sure you feel the same way. i don’t know, some of the incidents there seem like they’d warrant an empty stadium ban. i know it’s all conjecture, but they do it in soccer over in europe for hooligans. i wouldn’t be opposed to seeing it brought stateside if some of the worst problems continue, not just at energy solutions, but in a few other buildings (the palace certainly should have received one after the brawl). anyway, i’m done rambling. all the best.

injury
You can’t begrudge his injury. He sustained it while playing hard. If, suppose hypothetically, he injured his elbow by tipping a golf cart in the off season, then you say, “put on an elbow pad and get your ass on the court.” But he was wounded on the field of battle. Can’t begrudge that.

Myth #3
We lost in LA because it’s the frickin’ Basketball Bermuda Triangle where nothing is as it ought to be, especially refs, especially when our bigs get called for over the backs, but Pau the Memphis Hessian can play piggy back for free. In LA, your confidence doesn’t work, your piss and vinegar dry up, your mojo is on hold, and despite having the worst fans in the NBA, that building is Kryptonite for the Jazz. Don’t let our memories get the best of us. Go back and watch those LA games and see how many times the refs just plain got it wrong. It’s disgusting. At least the Utes could overcome southern home cookin’ reffin’ in the SECdome last week. But in LA, your powers are powerless.

Hold up....
… this argument
people outside of Utah tend to hate Jazz fans. You may take solace in that fact, but I personally think it hurts our team to be known as jerk fans
So suddenly we are supposed to worry about what the rest of the NBA thinks of us and be like LA and just sit silently and watch the game!? Please!
I pay to go to games to watch. I applaud when I like what I see and I boo when I don’t like what I see. If you are going to tell us all to stop booing then you need to play this politically correct and tell us all to stop applauding as well.
Jazz fans “seem” to have a high basketball IQ and reward the players for hustle and good play with an applause. Subsequently, they boo poor play/effort and what they don’t like. Get off this high horse of what we as fans should or shouldn’t do. We are Jazz fans first and foremost and you can either like it or hate it.
I would rather have the ESA as a rowdy place to play versus a quiet library feeling like the Staples Center.
I didn’t and don’t approve of the booing Fisher incident, but this isn’t the “Fisher incident”. And honestly I think this Boozer incident is a big overreaction, but don’t tell people to quit booing. They pay good money to see a Jazz game and have an opinion and booing is there way of vocalizing that opinion.
If we are using the “return a hamburger” argument, how should you tell them that they got your order wrong? I assume you would vocalize your opinion of it being the wrong order. I view booing as the same thing, vocalizing your opinion of something you dislike.
If booing is “wrong” then what is the best way for fans to let Boozer know that they dislike what he is doing?
This isn’t a formal setting where proper attire and attitude are checked at the door. It’s a recreational outing.
If you don’t like the booing, then don’t boo. Who cares what the rest of the NBA thinks, we don’t win a championship for being the most friendly to players.
Besides we aren’t at the booing Santa Claus state that Philly fans are at. At least take comfort in that.

Besides we aren’t at the booing Santa Claus state that Philly fans are at. At least take comfort in that.
We know we’re not at that point. But as Cap’n Hack demonstrated above, the NBA at large perceives that we are. They perceive that we’re worse.
You and I may see a difference between booing Booz and “the Fisher incident,” but the rest of the fans of the league do not. All they see and remember is that we booed a guy because his daughter has cancer, we yelled racist things at Stephen Jackson, we threw Carmex at Bruce Bowen, and we bring whistles to cheat opponents out of points. Now they see that we’re booing another dude with a sick kid and he’s injured to boot. Can you blame them for not thinking highly of us, if that’s all they know about?
And no, we don’t always have to care what other people think of us. And we most certainly don’t want ESA to become a Staples-esque library. But do you want to be labeled a racist, a cheater, petulant, cruel, and stupid? I don’t. But that’s the label we’re stuck with now. And the only way we’re gonna change it is if we use some tact, and pick our battles, and maybe not boo a guy who isn’t even playing because he has a legitimate injury.

Interesting that you challenge the strength of my argument.
At least I make points with accurate medical knowledge or quoting specific comments made by Kevin O’ Connor. Your argument is essentially that my argument stinks because you and other Jazz fans who boo Boozer should be able to do whatever you choose to do. I totally agree with you. You can do whatever you want to do. And I have a right to be embarrassed by it. And your whole argument about me wanting a libraryesque Staples Center is terrific hyperbole. You should go into politicking. All I said is that it is embarrassing and unnecessary to boo your own player. There is no evidence that it does any good. If there is, I invite you to find some. Here, since you indirectly asked for it by calling my argument weak, is some evidence that even NBA players are affected negatively by booing.

As far as booing, let’s wait ’til he gets on the court. I am sure he will get more of an applause then boos.

Fair enough. I hope he does return this season. And I hope we applaud him more than boo him.
By the way. After he signs with the Heat, I think we can boo him. Cuz that will prove he has been planning on leaving the Jazz for like 2 seasons. And using a Simpson’s quote is like bringing out the nuclear bomb in a game of paper, rock, scissors. Sorry, I had to resort to it.
