Carlos Boozer was rightfully selected by the coaches as an All-Star representative for the Utah Jazz, who continue to lead their division after solid victories after contenders. With Boozer out and neither Mehmet Okur or Deron Williams chosen, the team now has zero players participating in the game. As the Jazz have a 7-2 record against top teams in the west, fans should have expected somebody would deserve to represent the team.
