Boozer Hurt Again!

It's OK, we ended up with Drew and AV.

Not so fast, maybe Loozer will man up and show his face on 3/17:

Hoping To Play
Feb 2 - TNT's studio crew began debating his replacement possibilities within seconds after Carlos Boozer was named as an NBA All-Star for the first time in his five-season career.

Not so fast, Chuck. Hold your horses, Magic.

Boozer on Thursday night reiterated what he first suggested Wednesday that despite a hairline fracture on the fibula bone head leading into his left knee, he still hasn't ruled out taking part in the Feb. 18 All-Star Game at Las Vegas.

"I'm hoping to (play)," the Jazz's leading scorer and rebounder said while icing the knee. "Obviously I won't know until we get much, much closer." -- Deseret Morning News

A swift roundhouse kick to the leg should put him out...

Maybe Gilbert can pay Dolph Lundgren aka Ivan Drago (Rocky 4) to do the deed? He'd have no trouble sneaking past security as he bares a striking resemblance to Andrei Kirilenko

He's a 2nd degree black belt last I checked..

You just assume this happens to Boozer every year before the Jazz are scheduled to play Cleveland. I'd bet on this next year too, too bad no one in Vegas takes bets on this kind of thing

 

[cav jvl]

He does not want to come here...whether he knows it or not.

F Carlos boozer. He deserves every injury he gets, whether its real or not. And if he does go to the allstar game and then skips the St Patty's day game... he's a bitch.

Well, he's a bitch anyway.

 

[DDJ7777]

a bigger bitch than we all thought then, heh.. if that's possible.

Utah continue to win without him, beating both the Spurs and Suns. Like I said they become a better team without him. Depth is the only thing that stings.

Of course, Cavs fans haven't seen Boozer in Cleveland since he left. Injuries prevented him from making the first two trips, but he vows he'll be back by March 17, the next time Utah visits The Q. He is expected to miss four to five weeks, and he hopes it will be closer to four, which would have him back late this month.

"I look forward to going back," Boozer said. "I'm sure there will be more boos than 'Booz.' But I look forward to that environment. It's great motivation. Obviously, they're a very, very good team. They're very well-coached. Mike Brown is doing a terrific job, and they have one of the top three or four players in the league in LeBron. It will be a good environment. I'm looking forward to it."

Ya think??? What an a-hole.

They are a much better team with him Karma. There is no mistake about that (they also lost to the Hornets and Nets without him). I hate him as much as everyone else on this board but he is an all star power forward in the West (not a default all-star center in the East) on a first place team getting 22 and 12.

He shoots 57% from the field and is one of the most efficient players in the league. He is still a low life though.

Utah are a better defensive team with him out and AK47 actually gets to play more his own game without Booz. To me that equals a better mix. Millsap also gets the job done. Missing this "allstar" hardly effects this team. Quite unusual for an "allstar".

 

[Cleveland56]

Not really folling you.
ak47 playing his game now?

Points: 11 - 11 - 5 - 10 - 9 - 8
Rebounds: 4 - 3 - 8 - 5 - 8 - 3

Really stepping it up and proving he is worth that max deal..

 

[Karma]

The numbers that matter are in the win column. They have beaten the Spurs, Suns and Cavs without Boozer. Like I said he is no difference maker.

 

[Cleveland56]

Like I said he is no difference maker.

rriiiiiiggghhhht. ok.
