What is the deal with this guy? I really don’t think that he’s faking it; only an idiot would fake it this many times because of how it looks. But what are his hamstrings made out of? Rice paper? Jell-O? (Wouldn’t that be ironic if he came to the Jell-O capital of the world, and that’s what his hamstrings were made of?). I just can’t believe it. I pulled my hamstrings a couple of times in high school sports, and while they were never to the extent of Boozer’s injury, some Icy Hot, taking it easy for a few days, and you’re good to go again. Boozer is coming up on the ONE YEAR anniversary of the last game that he played for the Jazz (February 14th). And he’s rehabbing with the best trainers and the most top-of-the-line equipment around.
Can you invoke the Lemon Law on an NBA player? Maybe this is the bad karma getting him for what he allegedly did to the Cleveland organization. Maybe those prolonged periods of time laying on a bench in a seedy tattoo parlor, getting an enormous mural inked into your back puts undue stress on his hamstrings. I stated in this blog last night that the Jazz chemistry might get thrown out of whack when Carlos came back, so maybe he should keep rehabbing until they aren’t winning 90% of their games. Well, I asked for it, now I’ve got it.
