Lacob was booed because many fans are stupid f***ing idiots, that’s why.

The evening was to celebrate Mullin, yet the morons and idiots decided to take the place over and embarrass real basketball fans.

Ok so Lacob should take the blame for 35 yrs of inept ownership / FO ?? No he didn’t deserve it. Yes, you blame the ignorance of the fans not appreciating the guy and not seeing the big picture and not seeing the brilliance of the the Monta trade. They should be cheering the guy for trying to turn around one of the most inept franchises in sports. All booing did was show their ignorance of basketball.

You have to wonder if Mullie and his family will have to buy their own soft drinks when they fly discount Alaska airline to Hawaii. Mullie definitely will have to pay for parking and internet since his hotel rooms were the ‘name your own price’ variety from Priceline.

Enjoy your holiday Mullie.

All understandable, our ownership group has more loan payment than any other franchises in NBA.

Bill Simmons is spot on especially in the last 2 paragraphs. He understands why we season ticket holders are fed up and that the boos were directed to the Ws organization and with no disrespect to Mully. I am a big fan of Chris and would love for him to have an outstanding evening. If Mullin was in our shoes, paying the outrageous ticket prices which went up again this year by the way, he probably would air out his frustration as well.

Hand Down, Man Down – throw in the freakin towel Warriors.

That last 2 paragraphs of Bill Simmons’ article pretty much sums up why fans booed Lacob. Was pretty much dead on. Maybe somebody should email that article to Lacob. I would, but I don’t know his email address.

He left out that Don Nelson smiles like “what a knucklehad I was” for trading Webber..when asked about that trade.
He left out-Lacob bought the team..and kept the whole crummy FO..Including Ridder and Fitzgerald..both renowned flunkies. Who buys a loser business..and keeps the crap talent?
He left out..that right now in the NBA,the two hottest teams are..the Bucks and Knicks.
Oh well..Lin and Monta will get that east coast bias love out of it. Thats something positive.

You nailed it at the end MT – “condescending”. i would describe him as supercilious…i.e. full of pride or scorn; haughty. we were watching at home – “jl was getting more and more p.o.’d!”. fans weren’t buying what he was selling – rightfully so. a little less hubris works – he is a smar guy but i am not sure jl has any humble in him…

Was a better list than Bill Simmons’ bloated “analysis.” Nice piece, Marcus.
