Suns @ Pelicans Thursday Playoff game thread 4-28-2022 - Game 6

[Finito]

I really can't believe Pelicans fans were allowed to chant this.

At least Jae Crowder may make some money on it.

What did Crowder even do in this series that was bad? Hell he single handily kept the Pelicans in this series.

They should be chanting THANKS JAE CROWDER* clap clap clap*

If it’s about the Hayes thing you should be upset that your PF beats women and puppies

I am confused as to why did is such a big deal. While it's not in good taste, who really cares if the fan chant "F *insert player's name*"? Let them chant whatever the hell they want. Players feed off of that crap.

 

[Mainstreet]

I don't think the Suns organization would have willingly allowed the chants and shirts.

It may have well happened but I think they would have tried to shut it down.

It's not that. It's more like I was surprised it happened on national television. Suns thrive on this stuff.

 

[Dback Jon]

Someone was promoting the chant and shirts. It was a community event so I'm not sure it was in good taste.

I'm still worried Suns players are going to be fined for wearing the shirts in the post game interviews.

Personally, I don't care as much because the Suns thrived on it.

A shirt that says F***? That Book on his twitter said "Foul Jae Crowder"?


Plausible deniability

 

[Chaplin]

It was more than that. The crowd was chanting it in the above video.

You are confusing the shirts with the chanting. They are seperate. The shirts were made by some fans because of the chanting during a previous game.

 

[Dback Jon]

They do it in soccer, but I've never heard of it in basketball -- or any American sport. Go to a hockey game sometime. Yikes.

Or NASCAR....

Of course they are separate but weren't the fans saying the same words on the shirt except they were completing the whole sentence.

Plausible deniability

Yeah, but we know what the actual word intended.

Ditto. That felt worse than the clippers.

Yeah, I was telling my STB wife this same thing. I thought that Clippers series last year was twitchy but it had nothing on this series.

 

[Chaplin]

Um, I'm trying to figure out why you are so confused here. The fans chanted "F*** Jae Crowder" in previous games in NO and some fans made the shirts for Game 6. Couldn't spell out the word on the shirt obviously, so they made it "F***". That's it. What's the disconnect? The only thing that confuses me is how Jae and Book got TWO of them.

Don't assume I am the one confused.

I'm not sure where there is a disconnect. The shirts and the crowd said the same thing except the crowd vocally completed the last three letters behind "F."

In my world, STB stands for set top box so I had to google to find out why you married a streaming device only to discover it also means soon to be. Go figure. And congrats on a soon to be wife.

Chris Paul struggling with Jose Alvarado's name. Don't get on Paul's bad side.

And…?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Warning, award T to the bench, keep doing it.

That has never happened in the history of the NBA.

Agreed.

 

[zett]

And…?

if you watch the video it looks like a sea of those red shirts, assuming that's what the front of all those shirts said! so that's quite a bit more than 15

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm not sure if everyone has seen this particular video of Chris Paul and Willie Green hugging and talking after the game.

I saw some tears.

Jarret Jack got them.

He talked to the people - went back to the Suns bench. Booker sent him back over to see if he could get two of them.

Why would they be fined for wearing these shirts in the post-game interview? It was in poor taste for the Hornets fans (I am pretty prudish when it comes to standards of good taste, I know). But for Jae and Book to wear them post-game is the perfect way to make Hornets fans think twice about doing that again. No need to fine anyone or award T's etc. The league should just let this play out and fix itself.

It's more about the way the NBA handles matters they perceive might tarnish their image by fining players and coaches if they say or do something wrong like mentioning a foul disparity.

The NBA might not want this type of image on television even though Pelicans fans initiated it.
