The return of Carlos Boozer

by Alex

Regular reader Franklin Scott brought up an intriguing point recently in the comments to a previous post: what to do when Booz returns to Cleveland with the Jazzes? Obviously, booing wouldn't do justice to the hatred we all feel because we booed him as a Cavalier routinely. Maybe Boozer knew his immunity to such treatment and felt he could therefore stab us in the back. This problem is really perplexing me. What should we do?

I think the treatment of Carlos Boozer should be completely different than that which faced Albert Belle or Manny Ramirez. While they both left in ugly ways, neither matched Carlos' real dagger of surprise. No one ever expected things to turn as they did. We all knew we might not be able to afford Belle or Manny during their last seasons in Cleveland. If you have any creative, noteworthy ways to show our disdain as Clevelanders, leave it in the comments of this post or e-mail it to me. I'm very interested to find out what any of you might think.

I say we egg him! Or how about the silent treatment? Or we could make up some other type of noise that is meant to represent something even worse than booing. How about something like, "Deeeeeeeeeeeeee!" or "Naaaaaaaaaaaaa."

How do you say "boo" in Inuit?

It's quite simple. Start a "Boo-zer sucks!" chant.

Hissing might work. But I agree, "Boozer sucks" is a winner.

What about holding up signs that say something to the effect of, "We promise to boo you later."

How about "Liiiiiii-aaaaaaaar", "Liiiiiiii-aaaaaaar" over and over again. Or anything that we can dig up about his past and make it into a chant would be awesome.
