Can Chris Bosh carry this team alone?

[Brans]

I love Chris Bosh as a player, but I don't see this team going far with just him leading.
He is not the type of player that takes over games.

[Lanny-Barbie]

Just cause he not the type to take over games dont mean he cant lead a team on his own. How many times has James and Kobe proven that they can take over games, yet they have not won, except with Shaq. Everyone needs help man, everyone. Noone can do it on their own, not even MJ. CB is a star, and he is the man.

[REM]

You writing this cause he didn't dominate during the all-star game...Guaranteed.

[i-lion]

No i do not think he could carry this team to a championship ALONE. There is way to much competition out there and too many teams that have more than one superstar. I don't even think he could carry this team to the finals alone. But that doesn't mean he is a bad player.

[dagger]

Actually, Forderon is equivalent to a great scorer - both Calderon and Ford have played better this season, albeit at differents, than any time before in their careers. I'm looking forward to them playing like that at the same time.

People should consider that we are a young team that is evolving. There will be lots of changes over time. In the meantime, Bosh is a high level player.

Messiah doesn't think so.

Over his first five years, Chris Bosh has done virtually nothing to mark his place as one of the top ten players in the league, or the top five in the East. Fans in Toronto are quick to call him the greatest Raptor of all time as well. Arguments could be made that this is just the last in a very long line of insults towards the ever popular Vince Carter. But in anointing him their savior, did the fans ever stop to ponder why he was worthy of this title? Was it by default? According to many basketball pundits, great players don

[Brans]

F*ck the allstar game. I am talking about the playoffs, and right now with this team the way it is, we would lose to Altanta.

This team is built for a first round exit.

I find it funny that this thread comes after the All Star which by the way its a Guard Game if you haven't noticed.

what's the blog address? i want to read it, and possibly subscribe to it. perhaps even print out some pages and distribute.

If that wasn't sarcasm...then PM me or something I think it's against TOS

I am talking about talent. Teams in the east and getting better, and we are not. We need talent.

No one can carry a team alone (or ever has) and expecting Bosh to do so it setting yourself up for disappointment.

The better question is whether Bosh is capable of being the best player on a Championship team, which is something that is certainly up for question. But expecting him to "carry" a team is setting him up for failure.

I was basically going to write an essay, but you summed it up good in this short post.

Damn, I was looking forward to babbling on and on.

[pk00]

i think calderon can become leader.

[Brans]

That is what the Toornto Raptors are. We only have one realiable scoring option in Bosh.
Until we get another star Bosh has to carry the team. Is it unfair yes.

I suppose if Bosh had dominated today's game, we'd be seeing threads of a more positive nature.

Guys, this game is tailor-made for the LeBron's, Kobe's and Wade's. Tim freaking Duncan had 4 points (on 2-7 shooting) and 4 turnovers, but I'd still put my money on him in June.

[Brans]

Jose Calderon and TJ Ford are good role players. The Toronto Raptors have one star and good role players surrounding him.
Please don't overrated this team, we are what are are.
