Calderon, Geezy expected back tomorrow; Bosh is day-to-day

I was hoping we'd get to see the new band altogether, but I doubt Bosh plays.

Chris Bosh remains day-to-day with his sore knee while Joey Graham and Jose Calderon are both expected to be in the lineup Wednesday night.

This will be the 4th year in a row that Bosh has not played more than 70 games. That's not good.

I could see Bosh coming out for a game or 2 after Cleveland, and then returning to his cave. Just to get his feet wet and judge what kind of performance the team can put up without Jermaine/Moon and addition of Marion/Banks.

If the Raptors have any hope of making the playoffs. Bosh needs to get healthy fast.

He's missed 4 of 55 games so far.. it's too early to turn day-to-day into him missing an additional 8.

Well the slim hopes of the playoffs are hindered on a healthy CB surrounded by more complimentary parts....

What will we look like with no CB or JO.......but a Matrix?

Damn, I was really hoping CB would play.

We're going to have to have spread out offense which has always succeeded for us. We usually play better team ball without CB or JO but you need them to run offense through every now and then.

Bosh's injury somewhat explains why he lost that explosiveness he had at the start of the season. I would rather have him not come back soon. We lose more games and guarantee a high draft, and we get Bosh playing like was to begin the season.

hes not out of the question i think they will determine it tomorrow. Someone said during the presser after practice which was going to be late because of a team meeting they will decide if bosh will play. Even if he doesnt i feel an upset

Sasha out for Cleveland, and Ben Wallace questionable after taking 14 stitches for basically crashing through glass playing football on Sunday.

man i was excited to see Marion play only cus i wanted to see how he and bosh would play together maybe possibly get a W on the cavs oo well its better than having him rush back.

plus he has a free summer which mean he can get stronger and improve his game for next season

i pretty sure he will play........BC really wants to make a push for the playoff spot.....and Bosh's injury is not that bad, and he has had plenty of rest

Yosemite Dan · Post #16 » by **Yosemite Dan** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 10:40 pm

Maybe Bosh isn't playing because of a possible trade? When do the Suns play next? Might be interesting if Amare all of a sudden has a sore hammy and sits out.

Never thought I'd be so happy to see Joey back on the floor. Boy, times have changes. JJJOOOEEY!

CB always gets pwned by Bron. Let's try and win without him.

Marion is actually quite effective at the 4. He has enough strength and athleticism to defend the position, and his speed and hops give him an advantage on the offensive end.

Joey becomes the primary post player and you keep Bargs out on the perimeter which gives Marion all kinds of room to crash the glass, make cuts, and get putbacks.

I certainly hope they Amare and Barbosa for Parker and Bosh or Parker, Graham, Solomon for Nash/J. Rich.
