Carlos Boozer out for 8 weeks right hand

[carolinajazz]

Normally, when he falls on the court, he has his teammates to brace himself with (or push out of the way).

....negative! Boozer has NEVER fallen down on a basketball court in his LIFE! You don't hit the floor if your not playing defense.....and I've yet to see an NBA player land there taking turnaround jumpshots fading away from the basket!

Anyone else interested to see what David Locke and Ben Bagley will say today about this? They had their nose in Boozer's panties all year long last year. I guess now they're not obligated to say good things about him... But it sure will be interesting to see how far Locke and Bagley go today.

really lets not laugh at the situation karma might come around and kick us square in the cohones

Watch us have a Minnesota-type season, or winter perhaps.

If only he didn't have that 5% body fat.

Actually if he has a boxer's fracture, he really could only get it from punching something. No other way. I know this from personal experience.

I was in a fight club in high school, and punched my buddy in the head pretty hard during a fight. Heard a pop, but I was all juiced on adrenaline and pretty high on weed, I'm sure. I went home, told my mom I slipped on the ice. She took me to the hospital, and the doctor takes one look at my hand and asks me (with my mother standing right there) "Okay kid, who'd you punch?"

ffffff damn i was in some HOT WATER that night, i tell you.

If that story is true, then you are my favorite dude guy.

It's the truth. We were fighting behind the old Ft Union Media Play, in the loading dock. I got a cast on for it, and had to play the drums at a school concert with the cast. For shame...but also pretty ****ing awesome.

From the Bulls' point of view, this might likely be seen as addition by subtraction. Boozer's defense is like a sieve, and with him in the lineup I'm sure the Bulls would have been scored on a lot in the paint. With him out (and with Taj Gibson back in the lineup as starting PF) the interior defense just got better.

In short, with Boozer out, I don't think they'll be any worse than they were last year. Whatever that was.

The Jazz really dodged a bullet here...

 

[Coloradojazzfan]

He got a Boxer's fracture. Wonder what he was punching...? I had one of these also...

I think the real story is that he was playing a game of basketball with his older kid on one of those small goals and the kid was coming at him and of course Boozer could not actually contest the shot so he tried to get out of the way, but instead he tripped over his bag of looted gold.
