Boozer, since being signed as a free agent from the Utah Jazz and heading to Chicago in the summer of 2010, has largely been a disappointment. Although the PPG/RPG totals in his first two years with the Bulls have been solid (17.5/9.6; 15.0/8.5), he’s been constantly criticized for his lackluster defense and inconsistent offense and rebounding.

Sometimes you just have to admit you were wrong.
At least in the short term the Lakers were wrong about Mike Brown, Mike D’Antoni, not paying Phil Jackson whatever he wanted, Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol mental state, Kobe Bryant stamina and just about everything else.
Dwight though doesn’t seem to worry about it.
