Calderon slowly becoming the leader 

Post#1 » by CalderonFTW » Tue Feb 12, 2008 3:01 am

It's just a matter of time before we all know it!

Bosh is great but down the stretch he shows weakness(jump shots etc.).

TJ is great but he is inconsistent. You can't be a leader and be inconsistent at the same time.

If leading us to a mediocre under-achieving type of record is what you want, then go ahead.

Jose is going bonkers this year. He could score 20 a night on good %ages. As long as he gets 15 and 10 for us, Im happy.

please stop with these homer threads. bosh is still our leader.

you obviously value swirsk's commentary as gold. try thinking for yourself for a change, or better yet, start watching games closely.

watch what type of passes and looks jose sets up for his teammates on games that aren't his career best. take a look at his defence... how often his man is open on the perimeter, and how often he gets beat off the dribble
Jose "Hammy" Calderon - where Gatorade at the half clouding rational judgment happens, and where "hamstring" injuries linger all season long.

Wow I didn't know you were that much against Calderon. If I understood your point of view I would have realized why you like TJ so much.

you can't be a leader and be the worst defender by far on the court.

This is what i dont get with this board and it's bias.

Calderon scores big on good percentage, we lose, "he's our leader".

Ford scores big on good percentage, we lose, "I hope he get's injured"

edit: what was different from this game and the game TJ had against GW, other than the fans putting down TJ and prasing jose?

lol Jose has always been a leader on this team. So has TJ and AP. All these guys know what the leadership role is all about. Bosh actually has it easy cuz he has these guys to help him out.

and who do you think creates all these jump shots our team continues to fall back on?

BTW TJ Ford has done this exact same thing Calderon has done.

How many 25+ point games has tj had the last year?

Somewhere, somehow, the 2 time MVP is having a chuckle at that statement.

Newsflash: There's more than one leader on the Raps.

Is that so difficult to understand?

It's pretty obvious that Bosh is by far the best player. That doesn't mean he's the only leader, though.

I just want to note that Calderon averaged 2 steals per game in January. He's not as bad of a defender as you think.
