i been from the start of the season calling for taj to start and for booz to run with the 2nd unit.
i guess you cant do that to a player making that much
we call a lot of dudes bums. its more an exaggerated response out of frustration
boozer is not a bum. he just aint a 2nd option. he would fair better on a deeper team where he could be the 3rd or 4th option.
it aint his lack of skill. on pure skill imo he still is a premier low post scorer when he wants to be. he settles a lot on that jumper where he could back a lot of players down in position and score over them. he chooses to settle for long rainbow jumpers
he just aint got that dog in him. that x factor that makes you a factor in big games and big series. noah has it, rose has it, deng has it. taj has it.
noah is limited in offensive skill but makes up for it in heart, hustle and determination. if boozer had that he would be a top 5 pf in the league.
but he plays like a deer caught in the headlights a lot of the times. that other side of it you cant teach you just have to have it.
