Please stop Bashing Bosh, he's our franchise, our superstar

He's been told exactly this many times but he still continues on with his 'attack the basket more' posts after every game.

I think that some people expected Bosh to continue improving until he was a 27/14 or 30/15 all-time great and one of the top 3 players in the entire league. But now that he's starting level out as a solid all-star instead of a superstar, people are starting to attack him more like he's the biggest problem with the team.

Bosh and Jose have been by far the 2 best players on the team since TJ went down. And both of them have helped keep the team afloat while we played our toughest stretch of games of the entire season, but they're apparently getting criticized more than anybody.

Bargs poor play of late? No back-up PG? All the wing players slumping at the same time? Haven't these been the actual problems with the team?

For a guy that has over 20000 posts I expected more from you. READ. It has nothing to do with his numbers its his decision making I am sick of.

There is a co-relation between all the slumps and Jose as our starter I'll leave it at that.

As an outsider looking in, yeah, I have to agree - this board is way too harsh on Bosh. 20/10 players don't grow on friggin trees, and the Raptors are blessed with one who hasn't even reached his prime yet.

Paul Pierce used to get treated the same way by the Celts board. When Walker got traded, Pierce was criticized heavily. But the fact of the matter is, it's so tough to get wins when you don't have the talent around you to help out. And when you're losing, the captain unfairly gets **** on.

Just wait until Bosh gets some talent around him. He's going to be even tougher to stop when he faces less double-teams.

Eat a dcik. You and your team.

Here's a question for those ripping on Bosh:

How many PFs Bosh's age or younger would you rather have on your team?

The only one I can think of is Al Jefferson, and it's a very close call. Even if we include players 2 years older than Bosh, the answer is the same.
He is at worst the 2nd best PF in the league age 25 or under, and he's only 23. People on this board definitely need to give Chris Bosh a little more respect.

+ 1.

The problem is that he waits so long when recieving the ball that he basically lets the double come

That's kind of the point. A lot of the time he waits for the double to come so that he can kick it out to an open man on the perimeter, working under the bizarre apprehension that an open shot for a teammate could end up being a good thing. FYI.

that's cause he's probably fatigued since he has to do everything on the defensive end, rebound , block shots, etc. If he had some help down low i'm sure he'd be more explosive offensively..

look at Kobe..once his role players stepped up this season, he's been playing way better D...

same thing goes with Bosh...

Bosh is a great player, and I'm a huge fan... but until he stops shooting jumper after jumper WHEN HE AND/OR THE TEAM IS STRUGGLING, he deserves all the criticism he gets. He calls himself a leader and a star, so he needs to start acting more like both. He calls out guys like Bargnani for things he doesn't even do himself. How often do we see Bosh take advantage of match-ups? Like never! He could have abused NJ's front court, but he was totally clueless. Not like he takes advantage of smaller defenders either. At least Bargs is smart enough to do that.

he needs someone to pass him the freakin ball that's what he needs

He needs someone to pass him the ball closer to the basket. Bosh only gets the ball in the high post. I know that's his "spot", but I see him fighting for position in the low post, and by the time he gets fed (we don't have many players that know how to make a good post pass other than AP/TJ, everyone else gets nervous), he's already been pushed out.

Secondly, he needs someone to consistently help him on offence / defence. People need to remember he's not only our primary scorer, but he's also our defensive anchor with Bargs in the starting lineup. Moon helps, but not when it comes to defending bigs.

Stop underrating Duncan, especially on defense
