    I was at the game tonight. Boozer looks really bad. I believe more in Santa Claus than I do in Carlos Boozer.

    Unfortunately, I think you're giving him too much credit.

    Like others have a looted to, I'm starting to hate him more than Wes.

    * alluded.

    Carlos is still an offensive threat, but he's nothing on defense. Bench role is where he belongs.

    Carlos does two things really well.

    1.) Miss layups
    2.) Pushing in the back fouls

    I mean, he's pretty ridiculously bad. He's a volume-shooting above average scoring big.

    A poor man's Antawn Jamison (the late years).

    22 minutes last night...Davis played 15. Although, he did have foul trouble. Sign Earl reduce Boozer's time at the 4 to about 12-14 minutes.

    Boozer has no damn business on the court in crunch time. So we need as many other options as possible.

    if it wasn't for his decent contract I would be picketing outside of Staples to have him removed from the team as soon as possible. so glad he'll only be around this year and then thats it

    Congratulations on making it 20 games as a starter. I didn't know you had it in you Snoozer. Should have never picked up this trash. We lost 3.5 million in cap space, a roster spot and minutes from Davis (Fixed now that he's starting) and Kelly (If he was healthy).

    I never liked the move, don't like it now, won't like it in retrospect.

    I did like the move, and I'll eat crow for it. Dude sucked in the starting lineup.

    Maybe he'll get it done in the second unit.

    Made more sense when we had Randle. Boozer would have been good for introducing Randle to the NBA as an undersized PF who has been around for a long time. WIthout Randle he loses almost all utility. Hopefully off the bench he can provide some scoring.

    I think our bench is now pretty nice offensively, but our starters aren't good at all offensively.

    I've never read about this, but watching boozer this year and last, his knees look like they left him. he's always a disinterested defender, but he could board and was a clever scorer in the paint. now, my knees hurt watching him to try to stop momentum. fork him, nash style.

    didnt deserve to still start. Maybe he's upset because the models will stop talking to him.
