Will Batum get booed?

[julius]

Yes or no?

 

[Strenuus]

It'll be inconsistent. Sometimes they will, other times they won't.

 

[RR7]

no

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Not by me, he won't.

 

[Eastoff]

I think mostly positive reaction, unless he show boats or something.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

There will be some boos but more cheers.

 

[illmatic99]

He shouldn't! He got traded, he didn't leave on his own.

 

[Haakzilla]

No boos allowed for the People's Champ!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

He won't get booed.

 

[blazedanugz]

not a chance

Pretty much this. While some people openly wanted more from him on a consistent basis I don't think he ever wronged the franchise in any way and I can't remember a time where he did anything that drew a negative reaction from fans/media aside from the previously mentioned consistency topic. Anyone remember anything that really caused some kind of uproar?

Thread title asks if Batum will be booed; it doesn't say "Will Barton" get booed.

When he said that Minnesota was where he really wanted to play, even though he knew we were going to match?

Riiiiight... forgot about that one! Didn't it come out that it was all his agent on that one? I remember he made a mess of things there- but definitely a good point- I can see how some would hold that one against him.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

No.

Nearly 4 yrs ago. Forgiven already

Only by butthurt 13-year-old girls.

By me as well. But if I remember, plenty of other fans do as well, including those that are much more likely to hold a grudge.

 

[theprunetang]

He most definitely shouldn't get booed. Whether you wanted more from him or not, he was a pretty good player for us for a long time. He had a down year last season and he was the first to admit it. I wouldn't boo him for that. Hopefully we don't make ourselves look stupid as fans.

 

[Strenuus]

Damn, sorry to hear you'll be booing tonight.

 

[theprunetang]

Damn, sorry to hear you'll be booing tonight.

Ouch. ....hehe

 

[Chris Craig]

Only if he finishes with a triple double

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Damn, sorry to hear you'll be booing tonight.

Isn't 13 in Wookee years something like 78 in human years?

Unwanted mental picture: hairy Wookee teenage girl giggling with her hairy teenage Wookee girlfriends.

Wait! Welcome to Wookee's world!

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Non!

 

[riverman]

Why would he get booed? We traded him!

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

He'll get a reaction that matches a lot of his games: "meh".

 

[handiman]

Why would he get booed? We traded him!

Maybe he'll head down to the baseline and boo management?

 

[handiman]

Maybe he'll head down to the endline and boo management?

 

[e_blazer]

He'll get some cheers and a nice round of applause when he's introduced and that's about it.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I think he will get a lot of love from the crowd, he certainly doesn't deserve boos.
