PrintGolden State Warriors vs Charlotte Bobcats- boring right? I don't think so. You-know-who makes his return.
To boo or not to boo. That is the question.
Top 5 reasons to boo the "Captain" either at the game in the Roaracle or at home in your living rooms after the... JUMP!
Don't get my wrong a few years from now I'll remember the real Captain Jack from WE BELIEVE, but right now when I think "Stephen Jackson" I think FRAUD. So...
Top 5 Reasons to Boo Stephen Jackson
5. For screwing up Warriors Media Day 2009- seriously, who does that?
4. He didn't earn an F on the 2009-2010 Golden State Warriors Midterm Report Card for nothing.
3. For giving up the honor of being a captain (seriously who does that?) and throwing his teammates under the bus after the Warriors didn't make the trades he wanted this past offseason.
2. It's fun to mess with the "young fella".
1. C'mon, I mean Mike Dunleavy Jr. isn't in town tonight- who else are you going to boo?
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR YOU IN MY HEART (right now at least).

Please remove Monta's name from the poster.....
And maybe yes, maybe no.
He helped the team a lot last year but I don’t like the fact that he took credit for the “WE Believe Era”.
No.
Think of it as a “supporting cast” Monta has nothing to do with being a traitor himself

A healthy Warriors team in that conference is a .500 team as well.

Word.
If the Dubs were fully healthy AND in the west, they’d definitely be in the Offs! But we have no one healthy and we’re in the West so we deal.

Charlotte was 3-6 before Jack though so he is 3 games over .500.

Well duh.
Who wouldn’t boo?
I loved him as a Warrior and all, but the way he went out is good enough reason for me.
yeah
to me it shouldnt be a question.. people who whine to get what they want will get NO respect from me, thank you.

This team is
Just injured but still competitive. The joke is Our x cap who just left us because he believe he belong to the playoffs
Win Or Lose Warriors For Life.........
I would cheer. He was a big part of the only good times I’ve ever seen as a Warriors fan. I choose to remember that. I also choose not to care too much that he got out of here without looking back, I would have done the same thing. This franchise is a joke.

Lets be classy tonight.
I hate Jax, don’t get me wrong. We mostly agree that our management and coach would be better off somewhere else. He didn’t want to leave because of the fan base. He’s expecting to get boo’d. Let’s surprise his ugly ass and just cheer.

Ignore Him
I think he’ll revel from our boos and potentially drop a great game on us. Given his ego, might it not be better to simply ignore him? Better yet – politely applaud his team mates and let him meet silence.

My thoughts exactly. I cheered for him as a Warrior and appreciated him taking part of the We Believe team to help us get there, but now that he isn’t, I don’t need to waste my energy booing him.
He got what he wanted. We got what we wanted in getting rid of his bad attitude. I’ve moved on as a fan and so did the rest of the Warriors team (especially Monta).
I’d rather exhaust my energy in rooting for the Dubs with LGW and Defense chants.
The thing is, as I have said this before, I really don’t get why fans boo a former player they absolutely dislike. Just like Dunleavy. They are gone. You should be a million times 37 happier now.
Warrior fans need to concentrate more on uplifting the Warriors’ team energy & confidence at the Roaracle. Who cares about the opposing team.

Rec'ed
agreed, and not just to see if it pisses him off more, cause i genuinely do not care about jackson at all, he came in, used us, got his way, and bounced, whatever, still a non-factor in my love-hate relationship with the warriors, guarenteed monta rips him up tonight anyways, that will be fun to watch, wish we had randolph out there too, when we are all healthy all these little mini rivalry’s are going to be awesome
IT WOULD MESS HIM SO MUCH
if people clapped at the other bob cats and no him. Agreed.
or even politely clap for him everytime he makes a shot…like a cold, round of applause.
It’s Mess With Young Fella Night!
Stephen Jackson
Is single handedly responsible for some of the happiest basketball moments of my life. The man is a true G. I, like Don Nelson, will never be able to stop loving him.

It's gonna be harsh
You know how we as fans cheer and boo normal stuff. It’s hard to think of anyone in the NBA we would boo more right now other than Jack.
Jackson
I will neither applaud nor boo him. I don’t know what I’ll do.

To Boo Jack is to Cheer Cohan
For real. Jack called it as he saw it. We traded our starting SG and key component of We Believe team for cap space a.k.a. Brandan Wright. Then we let Baron go. The whole thing was crazy. Do people realize the freakin We Believe team didn’t even get to play a full season together?
It’s mind boggling and Jack is the only person to call out Cohan for it.
And then Cohan greenlighted the money saving trade of Jack for Raja Bell, even though everyone knew Bell would be out for the season!!!
Then you want to boo Jackson? WTF.

Couldn't have said it better
Jackson was the only person ever to call out Cohan for his incompetence. Don’t forget the Warriors organization also threw Mullin under the bus as well.
For real. Jack called it as he saw it. We traded our starting SG and key component of We Believe team for cap space a.k.a. Brandan Wright. Then we let Baron go.
And THEN Jack signed a huge long term extension with his then buddy Rowell (going behind both Chris Mullin and Don Nelson’s backs- remember Mullin wanted to trade him to the Pistons for Tayshaun and Nellie wanted to trade him to a winner while the Warriors were rebuilding). Shortly after Jack made a big deal of saying how commited he was to the organization. Look he signed up for the suck. That’s on him.
If he was as interested in winning as he loves to front he is he:
1. wouldn’t have left the Spurs after that championship to play for the then going nowhere fast Atlanta Hawks
2. would’ve waited till he was free agent instead of signing on for more suck and latched onto a contender instead of re-upping with the Warriors after J-Rich, Boom Dizzle, MP2, and Matt Barnes were all long gone
There are hundreds if not thousands of people who have called Cohan out for his incompetence (including hundreds on GSoM). Jack signed up to play for Cohan and be the face of the franchise. That pretty much kills all his credibility.

There is no one who wouldn't leave a winner if they didn't offer him a contract
No one. Not Kobe Bryant, not Lebron, no one. That was Jackson’s situation with the Spurs.
As for this team, the management broke faith with him AFTER he signed the contract. Nelson and Riley promised him a veteran big man on the front line, a promise that was broken the moment they drafted Stephen Curry, and decided to enter this season relying on Brandon Wright and Anthony Randolph at the four.
Remember a couple of seasons back, when Kobe threatened to leave the Lakers if management didn’t improve the team? Do you understand what is going on in Cleveland, with management in full-on panic mode for the last two seasons, trying to prove to Lebron that they want to win?
Stephen Jackson is no different than Kobe or Lebron in this regard. He is a winner, and he wants to win. And if management clearly indicates that they are not intent on winning, he wants out.
Atma’s problem with Stephen Jackson is that he’s a little less talented than Kobe and Lebron, and a lot less well-represented and well-spoken. And he was a Warrior.

Problem is Jackson is nowhere near the levels of all the top players in the game. I mean having a good player think he is better than Kobe is not someone I want on our team.

It’s been a while, but I seem to remember Jackson passing up an offer from the Spurs to sign with the Hawks for less years at more $ per year.

That called out Cohan for his incompetence.

I dont want to boo him he might end up a Warrior killer. Its better to ignore him so he will knows that we fans have move on already then maybe he will self destruct. Double technical maybe!?

Win the inning.
WOW
I was expecting something close to 90 to 10 in terms of booing.
This just shows that some people really did appreciate Jax.
One of the few to have appreciated Cap'n Jax. Do well in NC, get that 8th seed!

I want to win too Captain Jack
Too bad we can’t

You boo, you loose
By booing, you’re actually giving him what he wants. If you hate him that much and feel that he let you down, you should be happy he’s gone. So either cheer or don’t say anything.
The best thing to do is LAUGH when he gets a turnover.
yes LAUGH at him! that will rattle anyone’s ego.

Who guards him Cartier? Monta? Either way . . . booing him is not in my plans. Jack is a soldier who stood up to the higher powers at be when no one else would. I’ll always be on his side . . . err, not the Bobcats though.

I remember last season when Al Harrington was in town as a Knick...
Wow! That was booing! Only time we cheered for him was when he missed a free throw LOL!
Beyond Golden State of Design... and than some!
http://www.tonypsd.blogspot.com/
Don already took him out of his game, he isn't coaching...this means Jack can't yell at our bench and be fueled by Nelson!
Just don’t throw anything at him, he will go in the stands…lol
You know, I voted to Boo Jack earlier today
but in the end, I really don’t care what he does anymore. He whined like a baby, stomped his feet like a kid, got what he wanted, and set a bad example doing so. But, he’s out of our books, out of our roster, out of our lives now.
Meanwhile, we have injuries lined up out the door, a roster that needs evaluation, D Leaguers that need to show if they’re keepers, and trades that need to be considered.
I’m exhausted, tired, and I should be sleeping. But bring on the Bobcats. We got work to do.
"Our" books?
Don’t you mean Cohan’s books?

Cheer for Jackson ya'll
he doesn’t care whether he boos us, and I hope he does have a good game against us but we win. I hope Monta and him show some love to each other. Jackson’s a straight up gangsta, he expresses himself. I don’t blame him for leaving us for the playoffs, but look at Charlotte now, they’re good with him around. Don’t like the way he left, but Jack is my man.
Hopefully Jack puts up 40 to shut up some of the haters, Monta goes for 40 as they go head to head. Warriors win, that would be great.
Go Jack/Warriors

straight up
i agree with you. i dont like the way he came out but we cant blame him for being REAL. We knew how he is before he even signed here. hes a loyal dude. we saw him jump in the stands for his teammate. he wants to win and hes right, this franchise dont give a cent about winning!
but i do hope we win. i know he will get boo’d but who gets the last laugh???
id be cheering for him regardless……….
The best way to get in his head is...
just stay silent.
Don’t cheer or boo.

Remember Jacks first game against Indiana when he was a Warrior?
They boo’d the heck outa him and he dropped 36(pretty sure) on them including a bunch of threes. Jack is like Baron in this case.. If you boo, they dominate haha.
Today’s gonna be a huge game!

Pls dont boo Jackson
Remember the good old days? Jackson just couldn’t stand this horrible ownership and neither could we. I think we should all applaud Jackson in the beginning. Boo him all you want during the game, but not when they show his previous highlights.
It just started raining here in Sunnyvale
and I sense an impending doom for tonight’s game.
Boo? No...
Cry, probably. I will be saying to myself “Why Jax… why? We loved you when no one else did, why did we have to break up?”

I live in Brazil, but
I wish he could hear me tonight. I´d cheer him as loud as I could if I were there… look at what he´s done for us since arriving here… as someone said… boo him is cheer Mr Cohan.
GO CAPT JACK!
