Morning links: Ex-ESPN writer Ric Bucher tangles with Jazz fans again

SALT LAKE CITY — Ric Bucher is at it again.

The media member who kicked a hornet’s nest with comments about Utah Jazz fans a decade ago fired off some more shots on Thursday.

Bucher’s latest unpleasant interaction with some Jazz fans began Thursday when the Bleacher Report writer disparaged the Utah organization in the aftermath of Derrick Rose’s surprising 50-point explosion. He noted that it was Rose’s first encounter with the Jazz since they waived him after trading Rodney Hood to Cleveland last season.

“Imagine what it felt like for an ex-MVP to be dumped by a franchise that many players, like it or not and recent success aside, see as a last refuge,” Bucher tweeted.
