When we took Rudy Gay, we cheered again because we didn't know what else to do
...figured it was better than NOT taking him...?
When it became clear that we weren't keeping him, the crowd booed the ever
loving sh!t out of management (which weren't in attendance).
Juwan Howard and Rafer Alston were up on a stage at center court doing
analysis of the draft and right before the pick, Juwan goes "You HAVE to pick
Rudy Gay!" and the crowd went crazy.
Then once the pick was made and the proposal held up, Juwan looked like he
crapped his pants...almost speechless as he held the mic up to his face. He
then said...and I quote (roughly)...
"You guys settle down...settle down...Shane Battier is a great player, he's a
tough player who brings every night...and...............(uncomfortable
laughter)........well...I'm not gonna to try and sell this to you...just don't
kill the messenger! Don't start throwing anything on stage."
All this while half the people walked the hell out in disgust.
