The Thread Nuraman Should Have Created: AKA the Fan Cam Thread.

Tom the Turkey is at Memphis.

He takes over all of the timeout activities in the first quarter.

The Grizzly Bear is not happy.

Early in the 2nd quarter, a wolf comes out, body slams Tom.

The Grizzlies staff drag Tom's "dead" body off the court.

They then play a funeral song. It's not "taps", but something else that sounds like it.

@MHSL82, what's the name of other funeral songs? It's another instrumental song, with horns.

Here's a screen shot.

Maybe that was the Grizzly Bear. I thought there was a special mascot for this scene, and I thought they introduced a wolf.

I still don't know what his costume is paying homage to.

"Press Your Luck" game:

I didn't know that the values were cumulative. So that during the 2 minute portion, each new selection keeps adding to the total, unless it lands on the Jazz Bear.

So the total grew, then it landed on the Jazz Bear.

Back to $0.

Then it landed on $20. Then $50. The total was $70. That's when I noticed it kept adding.

It went to $120. The fan kept going.

Then it landed on $500. Total was $620.

The fan stopped.

Good job, fan.

However, I think the game would be more exciting if values were replaced. So that a $50 could be replaced by a $20.

I liked the tribute video.

Thoughts, @MHSL82?

Press Your Luck game:

The fan went bankrupt, then got $20, then $500. He stopped, so he won $520.

The skills challenge game (forgot the name):

I was so disappointed that the fan didn't actually play the game. She elected the Jazz Bear to do the game.

The Jazz Bear dribbled around the 4 cones, then made the FT.

Then got the ball, and went the other length of the court, and missed the layup. He made it on the 2nd attempt.

I think he finished the course with 47 seconds left. Or maybe that's when the missed FT was.

BTW, a few games ago, when they did the golf game, the fan made the $100 putt.

Missed the $500 one.

Missed the $1000 one.

Missed the $2500 one.

Made the $5000 one.

Because the stream then went back to the broadcasters, I couldn't tell if it was cumulative or not.

So I don't know if the fan won $5000 or $5100.

Qualtrics golf game!

The fan made the $100 putt.

The fan made the $250 putt.

The fan missed the $1000 putt.

The fan made the $2500 putt.

The fan missed the $5000 put so badly, that it never had a chance.

The stream again cut back the the broadcasters too quickly. So I couldn't tell if the fan won cumulative money or not.

Someone's grandmother went to her first Jazz game ever!

I liked how the Delta Center announcement video showed clips from Boozer and Gobert.

Delta didn't have to do that, since they weren't the sponsor anymore. But they did.

Mike Conley Jr. makes the pre-game speech about Martin Luther King Jr.

They will honor Dr. King during Monday's game against Minnesota.

Okur was just on TV during a segment.

Deron Williams did a radio segment.

Then, Okur, Williams, and Truck Robinson went to center court.

They signed a ball.

A fan in the audience is going to win the signed ball!!!!!

A good night for Utah Jazz basketball.

3 Jazz legends in the house.

They had a cool giveaway to a fan.

Crawford had a memorable 4th.

It was a competitive game.

 

[nuraman00]

The Jazz Bear is golfing mini basketaballs into the crowd.

First Colony Mortgage Family shooting contest:

* The boy misses the layup, he had two chances. It was his birthday.
* The mom misses the free throw.
* The dad misses the halfcourt shot.

Kind of a cool game, to have the whole family participate.

Baby Crawl Race: Babies in bear outfits try to go from the 3 point line, to halfcourt.

Two babies, instead of crawling towards the finish line, crawl next to each other and look at each other.

The Jazz Bear tries to encourage them, by putting a stuffed bear on a fishing pole line, in front of where they're supposed to go.

 

[nuraman00]

I like that game.

Coin game: The fan has to identify which coin had the America First Credit Union logo.

She wins the first round.

Then she has the option of double or nothing.

She takes it.

She gets round two right.

I think she wins $200.
