What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNikola Jokic said Nuggets fans who booed at the home opener are, quote, not welcome anymore.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJoining me is Gunnar Halvorsen-Pike of the Mile High Courtesy Council.

  3. Gunnar Halvorsen-PikeThank you, Hank.

  4. Gunnar Halvorsen-PikeFor the record, the council has a handbook, and page one says a welcome is a feeling you carry. I tap it for luck.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDenver trailed ninety-one to sixty-nine in the third quarter. Were the fans wrong to boo that?

  6. Gunnar Halvorsen-PikeBooing is a form of cheering that has lost its confidence. For the record, section four allows it for up to nine minutes.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBut you didn't answer. Were they wrong to boo a twenty-three point deficit?

  8. Gunnar Halvorsen-PikeNo. And I'd say they were the first people in the building to notice. Jokic called the slow start, quote, just bad energy.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the team had bad energy, the fans said so out loud, and now the fans are not welcome.

  10. Gunnar Halvorsen-PikeMany fans online say the boos woke the team up. For the record, the handbook calls that a loud alarm clock, and it's unpaid.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDenver outscored New Orleans fifty-seven to thirty-five the rest of the second half and won one forty-one to one thirty-five in overtime. Should somebody thank them?

  12. Gunnar Halvorsen-PikeSection nine, for the record, is a thank-you note. It's blank. I never found a pen.

  13. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVerdict: the council gets a pass on the first half and a fail on the second.

  14. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLast question. What does the handbook say about being down ninety-one to sixty-nine?

  15. Gunnar Halvorsen-PikeIt has one page on that, Hank. It's called Leaving Early.
