Including some lines from Boozer at the end. Wonder if he was 'playing through something' during the playofs last season? I'm with Boozer though, dude wants to play.

Oh also there's a poll on there for most improved player, Millsap or Harris. I voted for Harris. No Jazz fan should be suprised at what Paul is doing. He simply wasn't getting enough minutes to put up these numbers in the past. And he's done a good job of staying out of foul trouble for the most part.

A bit from the Trib:

A former second-round draft pick making the NBA's minimum salary ($797,581), Millsap said he doesn't consider himself a Cinderella story.

"I know what I'm capable of doing," Millsap said. "I know my capabilities and I'm just getting out there playing right now. It's sad that Boozer's out right now, but I'm going to try to take advantage of as much time as I can."

"And I've already played through a bunch of stuff that people don't know about. "

I have a friend who worked at the 1320 KFAN studio for a while. He says that Boozer and his wife weren't "getting along" around playoff time last April, and that she had actually left him for a while.

I don't know how accurate this is or even if any of it's true, but citing his disappearance last year it kind of fits.

I read a few rumors about that as well during the playoffs last season.

I have a friend who works in the Best Buy Parking Lot, who compares you two, to a couple old ladies gossiping over the back fence. He thinks you oughta go to work for the National Inquirer or a compareable Tabloid magazine.

I honestly did hear that Boozer was sleeping with a girl that Kyle Korver was dating or something like that, and that CeCe found out about it. And it is actually from a good inside source with the team.

Sounds like a gold digger to me. You have to question Boozer's intelligence with starting anything like that up during or prior to the playoffs like that. If you want to perform well, you need to be prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally. Just another reason I don't like his decision making.

Yeah you're right. An NBA player cheating on his wife. What are we thinking?
