Hot Utah Jazz, Cold Thunder Blues


(2015 photo by Keith Allison)
No one can say that Russell Westbrook didn’t give it his all during this year’s NBA playoffs.  No one, that is, except some rabid Jazz fans.

Minutes after Oklahoma City suffered a crushing defeat by Utah, these fans seized the opportunity to heckle Westbrook.  Rather than graciously acknowledging the reigning MVP’s amazing stats, they tried to tear him (and perhaps his family) down.

Hit a man when he’s down, and anything can happen.  Westbrook simply had had enough, and afterwards “sang” these blues:  Here in Utah there are a lot of disrespectful vulgar things are said to the players here with these fans truly disrespectful. Talk about your
families, your kids, it's disrespect to the game and I think it's something that needs to be brought up.

Utah’s star rookie, Donovan Mitchell, attempted this defense:  It happens everywhere, not just in Utah.  Worse yet.  Seems like this just bolsters Westbrook’s stance all the more.
