Boti takes shot at 36ers fans

Anyone go to freakonomics at all? It's a great website by an economist and a journalist to which they make observations about society. It's entertaining stuff.

Worth checking out as they discuss booing.

I sat bhack and waited with breathe at what the response would be at the sydney game.

I firmly believe the booing was an indirectly aimed towards crosswell who threw the ball outta play several times and also maybe at Weigh given he gets good time and did little(for that game).

The refs at thwe sydney game were deplorable but funnily enough, the reffing agsinst melbourne was actually pretty fair. in saying that, you can have a good game, and lose butif the refs are standard, then im happy. if not, they add to the loss.

i think boti should worry about writing positive comments rather than ear bashing others.

Boti is correct- booing is not a good sign of sportsmanship, but can he justify the role of a coach taking 'cheap shots' at opposition female players so that they might become upset enough to give his team an edge?

Yeah were not Americans. Never Boo the Sixers! The only time I've ever booed at a Sixers game was when Julius stomped the floor. This is our city, our team, our court!
These bad times happen to every franchise, it just means when we win our next title one day it's gonna taste f@kn sweet!

What are we discussing here, 4000-5000 people booing or a dozen or so.

Those not attending the games might perceive the majority of the crowds have turned against the team, which is not the case. The crowd is still supportive and the games are still reasonably well attended given the circumstances.
