Carlos Boozer Believes He Deserves More Fourth Quarter Minutes 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Feb 3, 2014 7:00 pm

Carlos Boozer was adamant he wants his playing time to increase and hopes to finish more games for the Chicago Bulls.


"I think I should be out there, but it's (Thibodeau's) choice," Boozer said on Monday. "I play. I don't coach. So he decides that. But honestly, he's been doing that a lot since I've been here, not putting me in the fourth quarter. Sometimes we win, more times than not we don't. But that's his choice.


"It's very frustrating, especially when I've got a great game going or what have you. Obviously as a competitor, you want to help your team win and especially when the game is close, you can do things that can help your team win. And not being out there, all you could do is really cheer them on. But that's his choice."


Boozer has lost more fourth quarter minutes this season to Taj Gibson. Boozer said Tom Thiodeau knows of his desire to receive more time late in games.

Would you also like some more money, Carlos? Hmm?

K. Shut up and let Taj Gibson play.

I am always mad at Boozer's poor defense but I always appreciate how Carlos never whine about his role and play time. I guess Carlos must senses his amnesty is coming and decide to whine about playing time to rise his value.

Serious Boozer, you will receive more play time if you weren't struggle on offense when taller defender guard you. You will receive more play time if you can go up strong in the low post. You will receive more play time if you don't blow defense assignment.

I want Taj start over you. Taj is always a better defender and I believe Taj has better low post game at this stage than you. Unlike you Taj can go up strong in low post and never let down in defense.

haha, i got Taj Gibson in my fantasy league so I hope Boozer keeps getting benched or just gets traded ASAP. That would be win-win.

I can see the Bulls amnestying Carlos and the Heat signing him to a really good deal. He'd be great as either the starter at the 4 or as the back up.

Except if he's amnestied he's not going to be able to get to the Heat, he's still a solid player just on a crap contract and some team under the cap will grab before the Heat get a chance.
