Boozer does not compete

Boozer did the same thing with Utah. Why is anyone surprised by this? Dude got owned by Gasol and Odom.

I'm sorry but doesn't bad defense and not maximum effort equal soft? Does in my book.

Lazy is my word for it.

You right. Boozer is extra Lazy.

boozer's pretty much a turd. he's not even that effective on offense because of his slow ass feet.
even if he gets out on hansbrough, he'll still get beat off the dribble because of his aforementioned slow ass feet.
more taj please. at least he doesnt just stare at the offensive player.
boozer's not just lazy, he's incapable.

Why do you need words for it at all? Just call it bad defense and poor effort.

Many players exemplified that today. But by calling it soft, you can target one player of your choosing.

Yeah it must suck to get owned by the 2-time defending champs.

Because when you get a $76 million dollar contract and you're not giving maximum effort, you don't get excuses. Because there are no more excuses. This is the playoffs. We've waited plenty of time for Boozer to get his game in form. People are starting to treat him like Wallace in pointing out the little positives he gives to the team, like intangible type stuff, and completely ignoring the negative stuff.

Show me one time I said a negative about Deng. Goodluck.

Bogans my only beef is you got to take that shot when you wide open by 10 ft

Noah when he dogs it I complain.

Boozer gives a crap effort on D. All this he slow of foot excuses. Kurt Thomas can close then boozer can close. Thomas give a sheet and Boozer fakes it.

And we were some Rose and Korver heroics away from the entire forum raking Boozer over the coals for his performance in this game. I don't think you can just ignore the way he played just because we won the game.

Boozer is who he is.. TRASH on D, and Inconsistent On Offense...

BUT, Thibs CANNOT continue to keep him out there.. TAJ MUST play vs Tyler

Right now he's getting owned by Hansbrough. Not exactly a world beater.

What? Why use 10 words when you can use one?

What? Why be accurate and descriptive when you could typecast and generalize? You know, being lazy and not providing defense (to your argument), like everyone's favorite power forward.

Were you not watching when Hansbrough was abusing Gibson too?

He was not the only one guarding Hansbrough today.

Boozer is so disappointing!! I can't believe he allowed Hansbrough to bitch slap him the entire game.

He better own up to his suckiness and do something about it next game. I'm so disappointed in him!

So why are you not complaining? His defense was just as poor as Boozer's.

Positive over negative people, he was trying or did you forget he got fouled early and didn't play as much.

But what you've described is the basketball definition of soft. Why make it more complicated?

I have nothing to truly say here. People just complain and complain when the reality is Tyler was hitting everything today. It happens, deal with it.
