Carlos Boozer out for 8 weeks right hand

[balli]

What's this doing in the JAZZ section anyway?

Saying "I told you so' is very much in the interest of the Utah Jazz. Well, the fanbase anyways.

 

[NUMBERICA]

We'll know conclusively just how Boozer treats his injuries because 8 weeks is plenty of time. If he takes 10-12 weeks, he's a straight wuss.

K, Dr. NUMBERICA.

Update: In a Chicago-area Best Buy parking lot, Boozer was quoted as saying,
"I'm getting a splint. Regardless."

P.S. BTW, did CeCe throw a counterpunch?

The real tragedy in all this is we never got a Carlos Boozer Injury Pool going. But even I would have given him at least a week into the season before Armani Suit Duty.

Boozer: "I came around a corner, fell over a bag, put my arm down to try to brace myself and fractured my fifth metacarpal into 3 pieces. It was just dark. My doorbell had rang and I tripped over a bag, tried to brace myself and it popped. I’m 265, 5 percent body fat. I’m heavy, man. I guess I had to brace myself and my weight just collapsed the bone right there."

This quote does not pass my smell test. Why's he bringing his (impressive) body fat into the explanation? But the real slip is "I guess I had to brace myself." He guesses? To me it sounds like, "I'm an excellent athlete so you know this was an accident" followed by, "And here's a plausible theory for how it happened." Someone who isn't guilty says, "I fell, I braced myself, I can't ****ing believe I broke my hand."

I heard from a very reliable source that Carlos was throwing a punch at Kyle Korver, whom he found in bed with Cece.

Now the question is will Cecetelldatruth?

 

[Marty McFly]

Can someone run up to Kobe's house and ring his doorbell? Maybe he'll fall too and miss the first game vs. the Jazz.

 

[DeliveryBoy]

Well, breaking a hand really isn't that predictable. All his other injuries were soft tissue.

...Carlos Boozer is soft tissue.

 

[jazzlurker]

Sounds to me like he was punching the clown...

 

[TNT]

Sad. Showing more aggression against a wall than he ever did on the court.

I wonder if he yelled "ahhhh and 1!" When he "tripped" over the bag?

Was it "intentional like a mother ******?"

Funniest thing I have read today.

Normally, when he falls on the court, he has his teammates to brace himself with (or push out of the way).

This sort of response is something I'd expect "your mom" to be in the place of Carlos Boozer.

Thus, you earn zero points.

 

[The Franchise]

This is by no means conclusive evidence for Boozer's situation, however, I will submit it as evidence anyway;

That is an X-ray of my hand after punching a house. 5th metacarpal, right hand. And again, breaking down the physics in play, there really isn't a way to break that bone without injuring something else (wrist, finger, knuckle joint) UNLESS you're punching something.

I broke the same bone in a boxing match. Hit my opponent with a jab and had to forfeit. His *** is definitely lying.

 

[Fishsticks]

Cece is such a skank.

 

[gregbroncs]

ahahahahahahaha. Perfect start to the season. Same old Boozer enjoying his pay from the bench. hahahahahahahahaha

 

[buffalo]

I heard it was actually broken fingernail, which is too tough for Boozer to play through, thus, out for 8 weeks.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

Boozer: "5 percent body fat."

I'm sure he had to include this info so we could comprehend that he doesn't have the sort of pudgy fingers that protect us mere mortal from an injury like this when they throw a punch... I mean, trip over a bag. Geez, I love this guy's fighting spirit. What a warrior! How did we ever allow Chicago to steal him from us?

 

[NUMBERICA]

K, Dr. NUMBERICA.

This is all pretty standard information for a simple injury. This isn't a knee joint, a ham-string, or back injury where treatments, diagnosis, and heal time vary wildly. This is cut-and-dry. A fracture on anyone but someone with a disease for this injury is a 6-week heal time. He'll have to do some rehabbing but the pinky is of negligible importance and 2 weeks should be an abundant amount of time to get sufficiently recovered.

But I'll shut up now. His story is fishy as hell, though.
