Wow, it sounds like a prophecy.. Like he knows the hour of his return^^

Hope it's true and we will get some help. AK is next.

That seems so close. It seems to good to be true. I dunno. I'm hesitant to believe anything that's not said by a doctor.

And on the 16th, he's gonna say he'll return on the game after the Memphis one, and than on the next one, and on the next one, and after about 5 more missed games, he's gonna say he needs surgery again.
Honestly, I'll believe when I see him on the court.

Yeah because we all know he's been so untruthful with this last injury....

Ohhhhh, Booze...

Can't wait for him to get back. I'm still disappointed about how he's handled things, and I'll be brutalizing him when he returns for his abysmal defense, but the man's a beast down low (especially during the games in which the refs let him shove people in the back all night).

Where did I say he was lying? I'm only saying he's been really off on his predictions. And yeah, edfmx, he did say he was gonna stop doing that.

I don't think he says this if he isn't pretty sure. And bear in mind, now, there is a lot of evaluating going on behind the scenes with the doctors. The reason why his return was delayed in the first place is because of the loose particles floating around in his knee that no one was aware of. Remember that he was actually on the court doing running and everything, doing his best to come back. Its not like he was sitting on his ass in LA doing nothing. You guys are unbelievably cynical.

I say Booze is back, for sure, by the Boston game on the 19th. With luck, AK might be back the same night. As long as no one gets hurt between now and then, we could finally have our full compliment of players. Damn, its exciting to think about.

Even so, though, it will take at least two weeks or so to gel and get everything working in sync. There are still some gloomy days ahead, but at least now we might be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

I will welcome him back with open arms, and the Jazz will make a great run to the playoffs.
