Easy to Hate. Hard to love


The last few weeks the Bulls fans have been spewing hate towards Carlos Boozer. I don't think its fair and I think your bat shit crazy if you think this team can even make it to a Conf Final without him on the floor. We knew when we signed him that he was gonna miss some games(that last sprain I won't blame on him. Kwame enjoy the NBDL). We knew his defense was suspect.

We also knew he could be a 20 and 10 guy on most nights. I find the nights he isn't are the ones vs very big athletic front lines. Also not surprising. He struggled in the 2nd round vs the Lakers in playoff due to Gasol's length around the basket. Bulls fans knew what they were paying for. He had a very solid season and yes the numbers have dropped but hes getting over a serious ankle injury and those take time. Hes been a bit lost on the court with Noah but that will all get worked out.

Hey I will be the first to admit that I have taken my shots at the poor guy too. Raptors yum yum. #cleaver girl. But I never thought he was the root of all our teams problems.

Seems like all the NBA fans these days just start screaming for peoples heads. Want him out,traded,banished. Some dude even compared him to the lame duck signing of Wallace which couldn't be farther from the truth. Boozer was a main reason this team took a giant jump(Thibs a major one as well). Having a scorer on the block is worth the money we are paying him. After all the Drew Goodens and PJ Browns aren't we ready to embrace a guy who goes to work on the boards and puts a few tough buckets in on the block?
No I guess not.
He took the lead as the most frustrating Bulls player to watch.
I'm losing faith in both Boozer and Noah. It's becoming obvious they don't fit each other well.
 How about a ballsy GM that after winning a championship trades Noah AND Boozer for Dwight Howard.
I swear we could be 76-0 and people would still find ways to dump on Boozer. Hell even the crazy trade talks have come out of the wood works. I will trade you Boozer, a Snuggie and a Shawn Kemp autograph for Howard and J-Rich(just so we can solve our SG issue too).

The whole Taj is better thing is pretty off. Sure Taj is a great defender and is nice around the hoop but his jumper isn't money by any means. He can't do anything for us in the post. We throw the ball to Booz and tell him to go get us 2 points and he does a lot of the time. You can't replace that.

His defense is pretty bad but I think the ankle is making it worse. Ever tried moving lateral on a bad ankle? Its pretty tough. I am not saying he is a good defender because hes not but hes not as bad as the last few games.
I think he will be in better form come playoff time. People just need to get off his back. He gives you something the Bulls have lacked for about 10 years and now you wanna throw him to the curb? And we have the best record in the East? Hello? God knows I have heard enough yelling during the games from him but he can yell all he wants as long as he rebs and scores. Don't give up on him yet. Be happy we have that dude on the block. Support the Boozer.
