Be a Good Fan

I watched the Utah Jazz/San Antonio Spurs game last night and was quite disappointed. I am a big fan of the Utah Jazz so of course I was disappointed when they lost last night. However, I was very disappointed at what took place after the game. The ESPN commentator tried to interview Tim Duncan but couldn’t because people were throwing things at players and refs. In my opinion, and I’m sure in many people’s opinion, this is unacceptable. Of course I get upset with how things turned out and of course I am biased and think there were some bad calls but to lower myself to the level of throwing things? Come on! THROWING THINGS AT ANYONE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! (I can’t wait to see if anyone comments on when it is acceptable to throw something at someone.)
I honestly think the Jazz could have put away the game last night and tied the series up if they had kept their heads on straight. Obviously they forgot what happened in the Golden State series when Golden State lost their heads over calls. The Spurs could have done the same thing in game 3 because I will admit they got the raw end of some calls. Sometimes that is when a team has to show they are the better team by not getting distracted.
All in all, my main message here is that we as fans have to think before we act. Just a handful of people made the whole group look bad and that’s just not fair. There is nothing to gain out of throwing things at these games. I am embarrassed as a Jazz fan at what took place especially after the commentators on ESPN praised the Jazz fans for what great fans they are. So…
BE A GOOD FAN!
