Carlos Boozer is done for the season

[picc84]

Cracked rib.

Ouch.

Update: Muscle strain. He's out indefinitely, may return for playoffs.

[D-Wade #3]

Basketball gods clearly on the Lakers' side....But not like Utah was goin anywhere anyway

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

cracked ribs aren't season ending injuries all the time.

[Ditty]

go jazz!

[Fpoonsie]

Wooooooah.

All these late injuries to teams that could've done some damage.

[picc84]

If bball gods were on our side, Utah would be our 2nd round opponent. This is good for everyone BUT lakers.

We're talking about Carlos Boozer here :lol

[Fpoonsie]

Muscle strain...not cracked rib.

[IronMexican]

This is contract year Boozer though.

[badfish22]

Jazz just announced that Carlos Boozer won't return. X-rays were negative but he has a muscle strain in his right rib cage.

I think I like boozer more than most Jazz fans. Lots of players getting hurt lately, just happens to not be on the Blazers for once.

[MavDynasty]

john trollinger karma imho

wish him back though..what the hell with roy and booz going down, getting out of the west just got that much easier

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I'd honestly be happy if I woke up tomorrow and saw that Boozer died. Hopefully that cracked rib somehow finds a way to pop his heart open.

Outta curiosity, as a Spur fan wanting to avoid the Mavs in the 1st round, am I rooting for the WARRIORS tonight?

[BRHornet45]

lmao! sons it serves that racist ass fan base right.

Yes, I think so

[Fpoonsie]

Yes, I think so

Thanks.

Sorry, I know people keep asking similar questions. I just can't keep track of all this shit.

Karma is a bitch. That is all I'll say about a comment like that. I could never look myself in the mirror after wishing death upon a basketball player.

[Bob Lanier]

At least plugging Millsap and Kirilenko into the lineup will turn the Jazz into a halfway decent defensive team. Probably won't be enough to get them out of the first round, though, since "decent defense" isn't something Utah's been familiar with since 1999.

Even Tlong thought that was foul.

No.

Need Utah to win tonight and beat PHX tomorrow while Spurs beat Mavs, unless you think Portland will lose tomorrow night at home to GS.

[Fpoonsie]

No.

Oh.

Damn. The end of this season is more confusing than it is exciting.

[Mel_13]

All will be perfectly clear in about 25 hours.

I think you're right on second thought

[pauls931]

:wtf

Nash and Boozer finger-cuffed his mom.

[badfish22]

Heres a graph that makes everything clear :rolleyes :lol

Damn....1st Roy now Boozer? Wow..

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I don't think I've ever said I'd be happy if Nash died. You're a pretty terrible Nash fan if you're putting him in the same class as Carlos Boozer.

[Killakobe81]

Any updates on this one? Watching Suns Nuggs massacre ...

[Mel_13]

Jazz up 8 with 3 minutes left.

Millsap with 22 rebounds in place of Boozer.

[mogrovejo]

Boozer's fine. Kirilenko, on the other hand...

[Girasuck]

No word on Boozer for the playoffs. I'm guessing he's out for tonight against the Suns. AK could be out for another 1-2 weeks. His injury has a 3-6 week return date and it's only been 2 weeks. Not too worried about Boozer. Millsap will just step in and put up same numbers while making the defense better. It hurts our depth a little but it's not that big of a deal IMO. I still think we win our first round series no matter what happens with Boozer.

[TheManFromAcme]

Just wondering; if football players, with all that much more contact, can play, why can't a basketball player? Is it certain muscles that are used? Just curious.

Hope the Boozer gets better though.

You see some players who will play through pretty much anything, like Kobe or Stockton and Malone back in the day. We're talking about Boozer here though. The biggest pussy in the NBA. I wouldn't be surprised to see him sit the rest of the season.

The seas are parting for the Boys in blue tbh.:lobt2:

Now Boozer says he's fine. Who knows if he'll play or not.

MUCH different situations

basketball has constant use of muscles and far less periods of rest during the game, while in football, every play last like 3-4 seconds, then 30-40 seconds of rest. also, in basketball you cant bascially take plays off the way you can in football, especially if the play doesnt really involve you or your side of the field.

also, you have a week of rest between each football game, and a longer offseason. basketball quite frequently has back-to-back games

[nkdlunch]

come on. Boozer is fine. CIA Sloan

Thanks. Makes sense.

Where did you read this?

[Xylus]

What's the word, people? Is Boozer playing tonight or not?

[jazzypimp]

It's a mystery. nobody knows. I am listening to the radio right now and nobody knows..

:lol

[sefant77]

Isnt Boozers injury the same that Marion had right now? He was sitting 3 games.

Expect him back for the weekend, maximum missing the first 2 games. And they still got Millsap..

See everyone, even Jazz fans hate Boozer. He's just an unlikeable person.

[Shank]

Yeah, but what station are you listening to? Top 40? Urban? Conservative talk?

[Jeremy]

KTAR's Gambo saying Boozer is out tonight, and Okur may be out--along with Kirilenko.

[The TroutBum]

What's amazing is that the Jazz will STILL win by 10+.

All hurt, or does it benefit Utah throwing this game? Will both teams start shooting at the other's basket?

If Dallas ends up beating San Antonio it'll be a battle for who plays Portland 1st round. If San Antonio wins the Suns should try and tank the game.

jerry sloan doesnt strike me as a man who would throw a game, so my guess is they are actually hurt.

[Jeremy]

They're hurt. The 2 seed could be on the line for Utah, and Utah has to win just to get home court advantage. They definitely need to win.

[pauls931]

Wonder if the homecourt refs will be able to compensate for 3 starters being out.
