Skeets yelled at us for not talking about Carlos Boozer’s first game back in Utah, and the truth of the matter is, we weren’t going to mention it for fear the crowd was actually happy to see him.
Luckily, that wasn’t the case at all. He got a severely mixed reaction (we Tivo’d it just to see) filled with lots of jeers, little indifference, and few die-hards trying to cover up all the negativity.
Brad Rock of the Deseret News gives a little analysis of the whole Carlos Boozer Experience.
After the game, it was the same Boozer as always. When he did arrive, he spoke in a monotone, rolling out a handful of cliches about competing and winning and seeing what happens. “It was good to be back out there, I just wish we would have come away with a victory,” he said. Asked specifically about the crowd, he went into some sort of alternate reality, saying, “It was one of the better responses I’ve got. I don’t think I’ve heard that since I was at Duke. It was a great reception.”
Boozer mixed up the “Boooooze” with the “Boooos”! He’s greedy and stupid. Rock goes on to say that the Jazz might not even be that much better with Carlos. He really seems to agree with us that there’s no reason for him to exist on this planet.
The best is how he even calls Booze out about avoiding his return to Cleveland, which we called all the way back before the season started.
Our new favorite columnist is definitely Brad Rock, because he can chew boulders to dust with his teeth. BRAD ROCK, ladies and gentlemen.
(Celtics won in a blowout btw.)

Actually, they were saying Boo-urns.
