Is it time to give Carlos Boozer a break?

06:50 PM ET 12.06 | Ever since Carlos Boozer came to Chicago from Utah, singing that five-year, $75 million dollar contract, he has been public enemy number one on the Bulls, condemned by fans everywhere, who are disappointed with his performance, constantly demanding he be amnestied, traded and so forth, all starting when he broke his hand. But that's all in done in the past, and with Boozer trying to prove his haters wrong, making an effort to change his game, shouldn't he be forgiven for all his mistakes? Boozer was quoted a year ago as saying he is going to prove his haters wrong, but was Boozer wrong for saying this? No. Who can blame Boozer? With a healthy squad, the team could of won a championship, but injury after injury, and they were hopeless. Maybe Boozer came off a bit cocky, and I understand that, but hey, I'm sure everyone thought the Bulls were going to win last year too, or at least take a really good crack at it until Rose keep sitting out and collapsed on the court. Like it or not, Boozer is currently one of the Bulls best players and we all have to live with that sad reality.
