Gotta love the guy whose life is so interesting that he finds time to heckle someone within 5 minutes of their post.  Appreciate the support dwaderoy2004.

Better than yelling during his own team's free throw shots...

It doesn't really make any sense to chant during our own team's free throw attempts.

In Chicago, fans chant MVP while Rose shoots free throws, but he has gone on record saying it motivates him and he likes it.

I don't know if De' De' would feel the same way.

This coming from the guy who thought it would be a good idea to nickname two of our players after Pokemon characters...

I admire your memory.  Also, I believe it we gave him my proposed nickname, then he would have performed better these past few games.  I realize we do not all share the same opinions, but this is how I feel.

So if Davante were named after a Pokemon, his knee would be magically healed or never injured?

Spelling/grammatical errors aside, I just do not have a response for that.  I believe if we would have called Jimmy Butler "Captain Fuzzy Pants" he would have gone #1 overall.  I understand you may feel differently, but that's just how I feel.

With the number one pick in the 2011 NBA draft, the Cleveland Cavailers select Captain Fuzzy Pants from Marquette University.

This is one of the most blatant contradictions I have ever read.  You literally gave evidence to support the chanting, then proceeded to conclude that Snorlax would not like it.

Look, Gardner (and most basketball players) have spent their whole lives shooting free throws in silence, or to put it better, not having stupid chants in the background. It absolutely is a distraction and has no positive effect.

D-Rose says it motivates him. D-Rose is the reigning MVP in the NBA. Those guys are wired differently.

I'm not saying it has a negative effect, but there's no way it does anything to help Gardner. And if I had to guess, it IS a distraction.

Debatable due to the BC having thousands of STH that sit down the whole game without saying a word.

1.  It's stupid.  Home fans don't chant when their home teams shoot free throws.

2.  Please act like you are older than 12 and ditch the dumbass Pokemon nickname.  My kids used to be into that stuff...and then they went to middle school.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
