You can tell that leading the league in boards is really important to Chris by the way he tried to sabotage Barg's career high rebounding game.

You lost me there.

Anyway, I always thought Bosh underachieved on the boards. I made a post a couple months ago saying I fully expected Bosh to grab 12+ boards with the added weight he was then putting on.


He's probably the best defender in our starting line-up by default. That doesn't make him a good defender, though.

At first I was like why the sarcasm? Then I realized who was posting this. I usually don't look at people's username to see who they are and instead look at the corner of my to see the person's avatar. Usually everyone here has a distinguishable avatar, didn't notice you changed yours.

Bosh has only adverged 10 boards a game twice in his career but this is the best Chris Bosh I have ever seen. It pains me how we even bash this guy when he is the best PF in the game 25 or younger. We may never have a player like Bosh again if he blots after this season. I have no doubts that a Bargnani/Bosh frontcourt is Gold if you have a Perkins/Blair type players as reserves. Only time will tell if the Raptors go this route but as for now Bosh should easily top 10 boards and I would not limit what he can do.

That's really not saying very much at all... he's still a below-average defender imo.

We may never have a player like Bosh again if he blots after this season.


We might never have another player who is between the 5th and 15th best player in the league ever again? Seems unlikely.

Maybe, but this is what "franchise" players do. If this is the season Bosh elevates himself among the league's elite, he's the one who has to be that kind of all-around leader.
