Really not cool.
Really unfortunate. Pretty gross.
Embarrassed to be a fan right now

Love him or hate him, he built those championship teams. Pretty inexcusable, especially considering it was his widow.
Sad
pathetic from our fans
Dude that was fucked up
Embarrassing
God that was sooooo damn embarrasing. fuck that crowd
Iâm pissed off as a fan right now. We deserve all the hate we should get, even if it wasnât you or I there tonight. Classless
People suck
Completely tone deaf.
Can someone please explain why people booed?
Horrible.
Iâve never been so embarrassed to be a bulls fan. This was disgusting. The Krause family deserves infinitely better than this
Who boos the wife of the deceased… Like how low can you go to do that. Regardless of how you feel about Krause, smh so pathetic and gross.
Edit: of course I understand they aren’t booing Krauses wife. It’s the fact that they booing the deceased Krause is just pathetic.
Who btw built the team to get us 6 championships and didn’t do anything illegal or murder anyone. Yes destroyed and stopped our GOAT dynasty team from another chance but this ain’t the time to vent. We already had 3 decades of time to lament and get over it. Treasure it because bulls will not be in that position ever again (praying I’ll be wrong eventually)
I hated that. I am livid at that crowd.
Absolutely classless. Everyone who booed should be ashamed of themselves.
That was humiliating to the fan base. If you boo’d and you’re reading this, go fuck yourself.
Absolutely pathetic from the fans that booed. The man was a key part of 6 NBA championships. And the Bulls havenât done shit since he left so youâd think thereâd be a better appreciation of him at this point. Not a great night to be a Bulls fan. Thatâs embarrassing.
So incredibly classless and pathetic. People that booâd should be ashamed.
Huge bummer. The Last Dance was a great doc but vilified Krause enough to make these idiots think he wasnât also part of their success
I still don’t get having a grudge with Krause. Guess what? Everyone in that organization had an ego. At some point it was going to end. Michael was the Bulls, but Krause made a lot of key transactions that set them up for success.
Celebrate the 6 championships. Don’t hate how it ended.
And to boo the widow of Jerry Krause? Those fans can go to hell.
Someone get Poppovich on the mic
I’m really embarrassed to be a Bulls fan right now. I was pumped and that ruined the start of the second half for me.
Brutal, sucks
Can I send her flowers somehow? I’m so sad about this
Just horrible, I’m so pissed. Like what goes through your head to have *that* situation in front of you and go, “now’s my chance to boo this guy”? Like did making his widow cry make you feel good?
the crowd that boo’d Derrick Rose on his first return home did something classless? I am shocked.
Itâs not out of the ordinary. They booed the man when he was alive. I still remember when they awarded him his championship ring and when the showcased his banner. The fandom booed back then as well.
I wonât knock the man, but MJ and Krause had been butting heads all the way back when Reinsdorf bought the team and install him as GM. Without Krause thereâs no championships, no Pippen, Kerr, Rodman, Kukoc, Grant or even Jackson. That said, Krause burned a lot good will with his âorganizations win championshipsâ statement and cemented his legacy by his post-Jordan players not adding up to winning seasons.
Just for future reference — is it okay to boo John Paxon?
I canât believe Iâve lived long enough to see Bulls fans defending Krause. You folks must not have been around to know what a jagoff the guy during the dynasty. Him and Reinsdorf. Fuck âem both.
The boos were unacceptable but I disagree with the notion that Krause was some sort of architect that built the dynasty. We won 6 championships because of Michael Jordan. Full stop. I think any gm with Jordan would have been able to bring in guys to win with. We havenât sniffed a championship without Jordan when he briefly retired and when he left for good which shows you who the credit should go to.
This should never have happened, but some of you are showing your age. **It wasnât because of the last dance.** Heâs gotten booed every time over the years that theyâve done anything to do with Krause at the UC. I just hoped it wouldnât happen tonight.
We booed Rose his first game back in another uniform. Booed Trubisky when he hadnât even taken a snap. We suck.
