Forget teamwork, we need a Superstar.

The Raptors should get a legitimate starting caliber small forward. Preferably one who can dribble and take the ball to the rack.

^That's what I'm saying. Bosh can be stopped b/c he plays like a 3. Teams are just sagging off on him and trapping him when he drives. He is essentially a 3 playing in a PF's body w/o a PF type game.

We seriously need another all star calibre player ... someone like Manu Ginobili.

:lol:

Bosh is a good player, but relies too heavily on drawing contact. His back to the basket game is also pretty weak. We need to surround him with a defensive C and an experienced SF who can take the load off of him and defend. He needs vets to win, just like Garnett and Pierce. There is a good reason we keep choking against bad and good teams. Rasho and Garbo are sorely missed in our rotation period.


we can all agree that if Bosh wanted to he can beat almost anyone who guards him with his quickness right? Well if this is true why the Fcuk is he

1. settling for 18ft jumpers?
2. waiting for the double to come instead of attacking?
3. deferring to a CBAer when the game is on the line?

One thing Bosh does deserve blame for is shooting 43% from the field.

18 ft jumpers :nonono:



Hopefully it doesn't take an extended injury to figure out how terrible we are without him like it did with TJ (we would probably set records for fewest rebounds and trips to the line).


He's the franchise player he needs to start making smarter decisions in late game situations. Everyone here knows what he's capable of, its becoming very frustrating to see the same mistakes over and over again.

It's a fact that when Bosh drives to the hoop, something good happens. I think most folks are frustrated wih Bosh because he doesn't do that consistently, and would at times dissappear and not be as assertive as he should in critical moments.

bosh is 23 right...if he drives to the basket everytime u know he would be a 30+ scorer. Give him time he will relize what he needs to do later on to win in this league.

I don't care about drives to the basket all game as much as when it matters. Late game situations Bosh needs to stop deferring and attack! Take ownership of this team especially at HOME! His late game mentality is the same as in the 1st quarter, he doesn't change gears!

Everyone in the world knows this but him! WHY???

bull. we had them beat and we gave it away because our superstar keeps deferring to CBAers.

My beef is not just today but over the course of this season.

we need TJ!!! any other position we afford an injury except at PG, our 48 point guard play is what wins us games.
Free Joey Graham!
