The Booze is back, finally.  For the first time this season we will get to see a full roster of Jazz players on the court at the same.  Personally I am still torn by this man, but as a Jazz fan I realize that he will make this team better and deeper so I looking forward to that.  Hopefully he will take a few pointers from AK on how to mend some fences with the fans and not make any more silly remarks.  Seriously, two years ago we would have traded AK for a six pack and now he gets standing ovations for coming back from surgery.  That's what Boozer needs work on.  Of course there will be no telling if the fans are saying "Boo" or "Booz" tonight so Carlos can just look at it positively and move on from there. All we want from you Boozer is for you to put your head down and play like a bat out of hell for the next 26 games.  Tell the reporters that you love Utah and are looking forward to working out a long term deal here so you can build something special with D-Will and the boys.  Give a ton of props to Deron and Memo and AK for keeping this team competitive.  Buy Paul Milsap a nice Rolex or something and teach him a few of your low post moves.  Basically stop making stupid comments, dive on the floor for loose balls and help this team make a playoff push. You owe all of us at least that much.

The first time all year we have a full roster. Amazing. I am as gitty as a school girl right now. Although we are not at full-strength, meaning Boozer probably needs time to get 100%, we are close plus we have an emotional reason to make this happen. My hope has been renewed.

P.S. Scared Denver? (Course they probably aren't aware of Boozer's return due to them ignoring the sports page today after their loss to the Bucks.)

Great post Hammy. Time for Boozer to represent. He has 26 games to prove his worth to me. anything short of the WCF and I say we trade him if he doesn't opt out.

CB JACK-really? Anything short of WCF? What if you get the 4 or 5 seed and face LA in round 2.

Bring. On. LA.

I'm just being a homer fan. But you of course wouldn't know anything about that.

I really believe that with Boozer at 100% and Millsaps emergence, our bench is just as deep as the Lakers'. If we can simply cut down on the fouls (which we have), we certainly have a shot against them come 2nd round.

All I can say is:

IT'S ABOUT TIME BOOZ!

Agreed, the biggest reason we lost to the Lakers last year was because we put Kobe on the line 34 times per game. In the two games we have played against them this year we did good (Kobe was 8-8 from the line) in the victory and crappy (Kobe was 12-14 from the line) in the loss. The team free throws were lobsided as well with the winning team having at least 10 more attempts. With the Lakers vs. the Jazz it might be as simple as who goes to the line more.

The Jazz's true bench will now be the best in the league when they get to full strength. Because each of them have had to play extended minutes as starters and have done reasonably well in that role. I am excited to see this team once AK and Booze get up to 30 plus minutes per night.

Booze, check out the two statues out front Another 10 yrs two more can be added and that will outlast any raise you could hope for.
