Utah (6-1) gradually chipped away at the lead by shooting 17-of-28 in the second and third periods. Carlos Boozer, who had a season-high 34 points and 13 rebounds, scored 16 points in the third period, which ended with the Bobcats holding a 79-74 lead. "They (Bobcats) played a (heck) of a game," Boozer said. "We knew that they were going to play very hard. They are playing for respect and a lot of teams don't respect them. Coach Sloan warned us about that." Andrei Kirilenko scored 13 points for the Jazz while Jarron Collins and Gordan Giricek added 11 apiece. "Tonight's game wasn't great for us," Kirilenko said, "But we found a way to win. It showed the character of our team to pull out the win." Bogans, activated from the injured list Monday, came off the bench to score a career-high 28 points, on 9-of-13 shooting, in his Bobcats debut. House scored 12 of his 17 points in the opening quarter for Charlotte (1-5), which has lost four in row. "It was good for me individually," Bogans said, "But it doesn't matter to me because without the (win), it's good, but it's not that good. We lost a game we should have won." </div> Source
You guys got a nice star in Bogans and he will be a star in the future. I have thought this since he was drafted by Orlando and it was a shame we had to lose him. He is a great shooter and will do good in the following years. I am glad he is doing well because he is a great player with a lot of potential.

Well, I'm glad to see the Kentucky boy have himself a good game. He'll get the playing time in Charlotte, so he may just end up being some good. I know when he graduated, that I thought he wouldn't be much then a guy at the end of the bench. Looks like I may be wrong...
I've always thought that Keith was underrated. In Charlotte he'll find a way to find minutes and he'll have great individual success but I dont think his team success is going to be nearly as good as his individual success. Bogans is capable of a lot and he's a hustle player he should be starting at the 2 gaurd or even SF over Gerald Wallace, all Wallace has done so far is had one good game thats it the rest have been sub par with turnovers.

Basically imo when we traded Bogans we where not looking for equal talent. I think the team did not just want him to have his career distroyed sitting on the bench for Orlando he was not our future in any of our positions so we had no reason to holdon to him. Points we have Francis and Nelson, 2 guard Mobely, and Stevenson, small forward Hill and Hedo.
Wait....I know that Bogans was acquired from Orlando, but please don't tell me that all Orlando got in return was Brandon Hunter.
