Carlos Boozer
Whats with the no love for big man Booz? Tonight he had 32 and 20 in the win over Seatle without bron! The guy has been on a tear the last two games, matching his career high set last game at 32 and coming up huge when the Cavs needed him most.

I've Got MUCH Luv for tha big man!! He is playing with the kind of fire that this team needs. I am sorry for the loss of his Grandmother. I wish him and his family well, and I hope that this season keeps going well for him. I always thought he had the potential to be a force in this league. Big Booz is bringin tha Serious *Bang* to the game.
And the other Cavaliers seemed to feed off of that energy in the 4th quarter against Seattle. Darius had the monster rebound dunk, and Kevin Ollie played like he was 8 years younger. I hope that effort keeps going when Bron gets back. This team probably won't see the playoffs this year, but maybe they will be there for the next several years to come.

He's got another level he can go to... I can't wait to see what he and LeBron are capable of in the playoffs. Boozer can really raise his game. The Cavaliers still need another big talent to contend seriously, but Boozer's a championship caliber player.

I say, give these guys 4 years. LeBron will be 23, Boozer will be 26... And i think we will see some magic by then (in more ways than one).

Carlos Boozer is a top 7 pf in the league and he deserves the love that T-mac gets because he is so good at his position.

Booze is a monster! He is one of the hardest workers in the league, you have to admire that. He may not be the biggest talent, but he excels in the things he has to do for the team.

Zach Randolph, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Ben Wallace, Tim Duncan, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Pau Gasol just off the top of my head not even including Rasheed Wallace as a PF. There are probably a lot more too. Boozer is good, but Top 7 PF in the league? No, not even close.

Absolutely. He's like Malik Rose, another of my favorite players... he's focused, he plays hard, he doesn't fool around on or off the court. He knows what his job is and he does it. Boozer's a great young player.

Malick Rose would get a lot more attention across the league if he didnt play behind Tim Duncan. He's really a pretty good player as well. Pop knows what he's got with him.

Boozer is one heck of a player. The Cavs have such a steal in this guy. I'm glad I have him on my fantasy team.

grrr....if the Bulls knew how to work in the 2nd round they should have taken him rather than Roger Mason Jr....i woulda picked Boozer+the Duke connection the Bulls would have had.

25pts 16rbs 7assts
Boozer put up some nice stats against the Lakers, too bad the Cavs wasted them.

I don't know if i would say wasted. I think getting an OT loss to the Lakers, even without Kobe and Karl is an alright thing. Sure, better coulda been done, but its an improvement over last year.
BTW, good game Booz!
