Carlos Boozer smiled easily before his first game back in Cleveland. He was ready for whatever Cavaliers fans had to dish out.

"With every 10 fans that miss me there are probably 10 or more that wish they could shoot me," he said.

Boozer played at Cleveland on Saturday night for the first time since he bolted nearly three years ago for more money in Utah.

Fans booed Boozer during his introduction and a derisive chant broke out in the opening seconds. There were more boos when he scored, rebounded and even when he inbounded the ball.
