re: In today's Cupcake News, the Warriors are "furious" with how Thunder handled KD's return

Hawks booed Horford and cheered Korver and Teague. The organization did do a tribute video for Horford though.

When a player gets traded, you usually see the fans show appreciation to them when they come back.

When a player leaves, unless a unique situation, the fans tend to "boo" that player.

I'm a casual NBA fan, won't watch until the playoffs, but I like to think a relative situation was when Josh Hamilton left Texas to go the LAA.

I was at the first game that the Angels played with him in the lineup in Arlington and holy frick we and the entire sold out stadium boo'ed the shite out of him.

It's one thing if you're traded, but if you willingly leave to go to a conference/division rival then you deserve anything and everything bad that the sport's gods cast down upon you, including boo-fests.

And guess what, when he came back to Texas a couple of years ago I cheered for his arse.

The Warriors are stupid as frick to expect anything less.
