Carlos Boozer out for 8 weeks right hand

[HammerDunk]

Now I remember what I didn't like about the guy. Well, what I REALLY hated about him anyway. He will be brittle his whole life. LOL, tripped and fell... Sorry Bulls, that really sucks.

I also broke my 5th metacarpal. Really didn't take long to heal but now it's a bitch when I have to write a lot.

Is anyone else having doubts about his story? I wonder if he was doing something stupid. If I were him, with a history of injuries and all, and I broke my hand doing something (Please Use More Appropriate Word) after a big payday, I would definitely make something up.

Bulls schedule during the time Boozer is expected to be out.

@ Oklahoma City
vs Detroit
vs Portland
vs New York
@ Boston
vs Denver
vs Golden State
vs Washington
@ Houston
@ San Antonio
@ Dallas
@ LA Lakers
@ Phoenix
@ Denver
@ Sacramento

And then to start December it's vs Orlando, @ Boston, vs Houston, vs Oklahoma City, @ Cleveland, vs LA Lakers.

That's a really tough schedule to navigate through without one of your best players.

I am glad that he is some other team's problem now, although I am sorry to see another injury.

[BarneyGumble]

Glad we dont have to deal with this guy or his baggage anymore....

[Paper Face]

Unbelievable.

Not that he's injured. Rather that some on this board actually wanted to extend this injury prone disaster.

[Fido]

I'm just glad we don't have to worry about him and injuries, and how quickly he will recover, etc.

[HammerDunk]

Boozer is reporting he will be ready next week, then the next week after that, then the next week after that, then all-star break, then the next week after that...

Boozer is reporting he will be ready next week, then the next week after that, then the next week after that, then all-star break, then the next week after that...

He's also working out in Miami and all communication with the Bulls is via Boozer's doctors; he wont let Bulls team doctors monitor his progress...

Tough luck for Carlos. I hate to see someone get injured. He must have yelled "AHHH!" for the last time on that.

Boozer's absence is a shame because I'm looking forward to watching the Bulls this season. They ought to be really good. I think they'll have a better shot at Miami than those pretenders in Orlando and the geriatric Celtics. In the meantime I don't expect them to give up a lot of points while Gibson and Noah are starting for Thibodeau.

The good news for us is that our first game vs. Chicago is in February. Carlos Boozer will be there, and so will I.

I assume he's doing that to draw suspicions away from Chicago. I smell a conspiracy to inflate Taj Gibson's trade value so they can send him in a five-team trade for Battier before the trade deadline! I mean, tripping over a bag? Yeah, right.

And 1. I was pretty stoked to see how all the former Jazz players were going to do and how Booze would look next to Noah. I guess I'll have to wait.

The fifth metacarpal, the bone in the palm below the pinky finger, is something you break when you punch a wall or something. I've done it before. If you don't know how to hit properly your pinky knuckle is usually the first thing that makes contact.

I broke the 5th metacarpal on my right hand when I was 16, hitting an open door. Probably would have just broken the door had it been closed. Only time I've ever broken anything- well, besides my C5- which would seem to be easier to break tripping over a bag than the 5th metacarpal. I don't think Booz is telling the whole story.

[HolyToledo]

Loozer fractured his hand tripping over a bag at his house. I said for the past two years that he is a cancer and the Jazz are a better team without him. Team chemistry will improve greatly this year without him!!

What was in loozer's bag?...hm... maybe his money!!!!

[dafunky1]

Well,Boozer and his wife is going thru a divorce.This becomes more suspicious if you ask me.Divorces can get ugly....Just saying.
