"Little something"

"Every now and then," he added, "I feel like a little something here or there but nothing to discourage me. So I keep moving forward. ... I'm right there. That's what I think. I think I'm right there."

That "little something" is all in your head NOT IN YOUR KNEE. PLAY!!

Geez

Why don't we just put the season on hold until
b(L)oozer is ready to play!@?

Keep your

eye on the prize Booz- maybe one day you'll make it through a whole season before you retire! You bum.

No News Here

Why even bring it up? There is no news on Boozer or the trade scene so just leave it alone PLEASE! We are tired of the same ole same ole nothing NEW.

maybe...

the jazz can put some special Cybex and MRI test bonuses into his next contract...? That could be a real deal maker for a guy like Booz.

Just play

Wow, I've seen football players play with dislocated shoulders, yet Boozer couldn't play IF HIS LIFE DEPENDED ON IT.

Aaron

In other news that should suprise no one: The sky is usually blue, rain is wet and polar bears are white.

Maybe Boozer should play at 70, 80 or 90%. Maybe he's just not ever going to get to 100% this season. Maybe, just maybe, he should play through the pain.

What Up Buck?

I know the Jazz didn't make a move at the trading deadline, but isn't there anything else to write about. Maybe you could write a story about how Jerry Sloan feels that his team should play defense, or that players generally don't care to come and play in Utah, or any of a thousand other things what go without saying. Wait, I guess you did that by penning an article about how Boozer isn't playing, but his knee "Feels great".

Chill out everyone. Boozer will be back in a few games and the Jazz will start steamrolling teams. Let hime come back when his knee is 100%.

Well, I really thought Boozer the loser would play after the all star break - now I am wondering if it is this year? I hope he does opt out this summer and we don't pick him up. It seems to me he doesn't want to leave Utah - or he would be showcasing his skills instead of "streching and working out". Sorry, I don't buy this long of rehab for the "injury" real or unreal that he had.

haha

Same old Same old. "It feels really good." "We will see how it feels and move on from there." Same quotes all year. He could be out another month. I support him unlike most Jazz fans that post on here. Just quit writing articles with the same broken record stuff in them. Let us know when he will be back.

Who Cares

Is this really news? Boozer still out. WOW!!! The real news will be when he finally tries to "man-up" and get out on the floor. Why can AK have ankle surgery, miss 16 games and be back on the floor. Boozer is soft and not a good value for the amount of money he is paid. I hope he opts out so we quit wasting money on him. We are learning the lessons the Cleveland had with him. It is all about Boozer. Screw the team.

Used to be Boozer Fan

Now that the trade deadline is past Boozer will feel better and start playing.

Boozer's just finally getting excited about playing?
Is his heart in rhis or is he just happy to get his
next check. D-Will couldn't bear being out one game.

Miles/Boozer

I think I need to add to my screen name to defend Boozer. Now that Miles is proving his worth, it's my job to be Boozer's best friend. So get off his back and let him heal. You all need Boozer worse than he needs you. Without him, we are not making any noise in the playoffs.

Where did the tough guys go?

Remember when Jordan would score 40 points when he had the flu. Remember how many games Malone missed when he didn't feel 100%. On TNT a couple weeks ago he said something like half the games he missed in his nearly 2 decade career were because of suspension. I admire AK for coming back as quickly as he did and playing through the pain before the surgery. At least he tries.

You can

change your name,but that doesn`t make CJ "Sniffles" Miles a better player,one trick pony,Boozer on the other hand is a 20/10 guy EVERYDAY,,,,see the difference....Clueless

Boozer Fan

We are definately a better team with Boozer and everyone knows that. I don't know why everyone wants to tear him down for being injured. Injuries happen. We definately need him to be a contender in the West.

re:Miles/Boozer

Without him...? We'd have an extra roster spot and a bunch of money under the cap to spend on someone with some drive that wants to earn a paycheck... He's a worthless lump to us, he has been all year and he was worthless to us in the playoffs last year! So, BBF (boozers best friend)I'm not convinced! I get it he's hurt... but it's not our obligation to keep him around and root him on when he says stupid things to make the franchise look silly and never plays! HE IS WORTHLESS!

L.A. Jazz Fan

This is so tired and old. The Jazz are playing the freaking Celtics tonight. Boozer would help so much if he could play; but as long as he is not playing I say stop reminding us.

I really hope that Boozer's heart is in the right place. Jerking with his teammates or coaching staff could not be putting him in a good place. I hope for Boozer's sake that this is ALL legit. If it were not I don't even want to know what the scene is like behind closed doors. Everyone might be putting up a front that "all is okay and peachy." But we'll never know; we just have to have trust. I trust that this organization will make the right choices with Boozer, etc.

I do want them to keep Millsap though. He is a key component of this team. Go over the luxury tax if need be but keep him in a Jazz uniform next year.

Go Jazz!!!
