so when i see people go nuts on bosh from time to time, i scratch my head and be like "huh?"

without bosh, this team is worse than an expansion team, he is the franchise and it's tough to name 5-7 more young guys in the league you would rather start a franchise with.


I don't think I understand who you're referring to. I've only ever seen one or two crazies like Contender and dramaqueen's like Saturn diss Bosh. You won't see the average Raptors fan dissing Bosh - atleast I haven't.

I can understand it. I am probably the only one in the world, but in hockey, I cheer for the leafs first, and then after them it's the habs.


Same here....I am Celtics fan before the Raptors came along. Now that we have Toronto I cheer for both. But I am Raptors fan first.

He usually does that. Even on Chris's own website.

Ditto. It drives my brothers nuts. They hate the Habs. :P

36 mpg is not a huge workload for a star player. So why is he going to get burnt out this year moreso than previous years?


Thanks for this. I was wondering about his overall minutes. Something has to change though because they cannot keep up his current pace without some risk. Hopefully if TJ can get back it he can make a diff there in terms of carrying the O.

bosh's minutes were tapered in the beginning of the season b/c of his injury. but since he got his wind back, he's been getting minutes.

33 mins to 36 mins to 41 mins the past 3 months.

i expect that to continue.

Yep. Love Bosh. Most have just expressed that we need him to go to the basket more especially to finish games.

I agree about Bosh being worn down. And we can't afford that when the playoffs roll around. We must try to avoid Bosh having a bunch of nagging injuries when playoffs roll around. This means that he shouldn't be playing 40 minutes every single game. Even if his decreased playing time were to cost us a little bit now, it'll be a lot more costly come playoff time if his body's worn down. Give Bosh more rest Smitch!

I expect BC to do something with our bench to help Bosh.

Return to Toronto Raptors
