RT @tribjazz: Jazz just announced that Carlos Boozer won’t return. X-rays were negative but he has a muscle strain in his right rib cage.
He'll probably be ready for the playoffs, but the game tomorrow is in doubt. That's huge for us.

Welcome to our hell, Utah.
That is if this is true. Could just as easily be a fabricated rumor.

From Rotoworld via UtahJazzOnTwitter w/ Rotoworld comments:
Carlos Boozer will not return to Tuesday's game becauser of a strained muscle in the right side of his rib cage.
The good news is that X-rays were negative -- hopefully this won't jeopardize his status for the start of the playoffs this weekend. Expect Paul Millsap to step into a major role for as long as Boozer is sidelined.

Hopefully they drop to 4th/5th and have to face off Denver and we get one of Phoenix/Dallas.

Don't ever wish for injuries for another team. It's bad karma.

Especially without Roy at 100%. I can already see Rudy's skinny knees and elbows bounding down the court and turning the ball over while trying to play an up-tempo game.

That's not karma.
Karma would be if you wished an injury on a player and instead a injury happened to you. Your good and/or bad karma can't affect a 3rd party. That would be their karma.

Rather them than a physical Denver or Utah.

That seems more like irony than karma. Karma would be you wish injury on a player, and then you walk outside and a flock of seagulls take a simultaneous dump on your head. Or, irony would be you stayed away from a ski trip for fear of breaking your leg, and then fell off the ladder at home that weekend and broke your leg.
Hmm...

Are you guys watching them play Denver right now? If Boozer is truly hurt and will potentially miss time in the playoffs then that is a much much better matchup than Phoenix. The Suns have been clicking ever since we played them down there at the all-star break. Denver plays no D anymore and we have had Dallas' number all year.

This thread title needs to be changed.

He's only missing one game. And it doesn't matter if Denver doesn't play D, we stink on offense against physical teams.

I can't imagine that an ab strain doesnt hurt someone for longer than a week.
Either it wasnt serious or Boozer will not be 100% for a bit.

Boozer will be back for the playoffs and it wouldn't make any difference anyway they have Millsap. I don't think we have any chance against Utah or Den (won't have to play Den now they are the 5th seed). I would want to play Phx, Dal, Den or Utah in that order.

You are comparing Millsap to Boozer? A bench player to an All-Star?

Yes I am. Millsap had 24 rebounds tonight taking Boozers minutes after he got injured.

if Boozer is out then they don't have Milsap off the bench... thats a huge loss for them. Kirilenko is already gimpy. No Boozer would mean the Jazz would be the worst team in the tough Western bracket IMO

Well, let's not get carried away. Golden State wasn't even trying to rebound. I wonder what will happen tomorrow night with them?

But having both makes them better. If Millsap starts, they don't have a Boozer/Millsap-caliber player off the bench.

For the purposes of this discussion, "we" are the Blazers and "they" are any other team in the NBA. If "we" wish bad things for another team, we might have bad things happen to our own team. It's called karma by association, which was first studied by Winslow, Thiboud, et al., in "The Associative Effects of Wish Fulfillment in Reverse," which appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine in May of 1954.
