The Truth About Chris Bosh

[RapsVC15]

Bosh needs to get off his pedestal its getting annoying.

Your as much to blame as anyone else, don't kid yourself.

[LittleOzzy]

This thread had to be bumped after seeing this wiretap.

"“I can’t instill it in guys,” Bosh said. “You have to have it on your own; as much as I would like to, as much as I would like to do everything, you can’t do everything.

“Personally, you have to bring something to the plate. Whatever gets guys going, we need to find it.”


THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. More deflecting blame, when will Bosh realize it starts from the top down. You expect Sonny Weems, Calderon, Turk to change the course of this team? NO, this is suppose to be boshs team. Going to media complaining about your players, when you are doing diddly squat is inexcusable. Honestly I can't wait for this guy to get out of town.

How is he defecting blame?

He's calling his team out to motivate them... is that not what you want?

[Clutch Carter]

Calling out the team but don't acknowledge your own poor performance? I'd say that's deflecting blame, but thats just me.

[alpha]

Let Bosh call himself out

I missed too many jumpers
I didn't take it to the hole enough
I wasn't there defensively
I held the ball too long

My fingers had lots of butter on them


Not...I'm doing everything I can..what more do you want me to do? I can't instill it in the guys.
I don't see any fire in them.

Of course Bosh will be better with Wade or Lebron next to him. But guess what? Everyone is.

It won't be because of Bosh, but because of someone else. That's fine when you aren't demanding max-money, but he is!

It's not about playing with Lebron or Wade. Let's not go to extremes, please. He hasn't even had a borderline all star wing player to work with. Let's start there first.

Well if you want to be technical, he did once play here with Vince.

Yebbut he looked like this.

Some of your morons are extremely lucky that the mods here allow free speech. If I had the ability to, I'd ban every single one of you tools that wait until a bad game and spew your ignorant, baseless hate. If you had any balls you'd be consistent in your shtick instead of saying nothing when Bosh is hitting clutch shots and playing out of his mind, and then coming out of the woodwork after the Raptors have a bad stretch. Bosh is 26 years old and one of the best big men in the league. Wake the **** up you douchebags.

doesn't matter if you are good or not, if your heart is not with the team, you winning and losing wont even matter, just your numbers and statistics so other teams can see how you do.

That's not what he's doing. He has spoken about the playoffs and ow excited he is for them numerous times. He has said that they need to start thinking of every game a s a must-win.

Players who "stat-pad" do it at the detriment of their team and for their own benefit. That's not what Bosh is doing. You're just looking through some hater-coloured glasses.

Actions speak louder than words.. So you don't think he is stat-padding? Just watch the remaining games of the season then come back.

[raptorsam]

last night anymore proof?

[Fairview4Life]

last night anymore proof?

About as much proof as the Atlanta win 10 days ago. Or any of the other game winners, rebounds, blocks, etc in clutch situations he's pulled in this year.

[The_Hater]

O boy ... I'd hate to ask what you think of the rest of the roster if thats what u think of Bosh ...

That was the first thing that came to my mind.

[Cool-Hand-Luke]

No, you are right. The rest of the league, analysts, experts, players coaches and sports writers are wrong.

Bosh is garbage he should be signed for the vet minimum and should share the bench with POB.

[Kid Cudi]

Bosh can easily be the best player on a contending team. All he needs is a second star like Derrick Rose, Joe Johnson, Brandon Roy and you have a contending team IMO.
The second best player on this team is Bargnani, and at this point Bargnani is not a 2nd best player on a contending team. Maybe he will develop into one, but he's not there yet.

I'm not opposed to sign and trading Bosh, as long as we get some good young assets in return. I don't want a second round pick, and I don't want some crappy players like Eric and Aaron WIlliams.

I wouldn't mind moving Bargs to his natural position at PF, re-signing Amir and maybe getting a guy like Etan Thomas to "start" but get less minutes than Amir.
Then you try and get rid of Jose for an expiring or a decent asset and you rebuild with the youth (demar, weems, beli, bargs, amir, jack?) and live with having Hedo on this team for a few more years until you can unload him in the form of a big, short deal.

The other option is keeping Bosh, and packaging our crappy expirings (evans, banks) + expiring youth (sonny, beli) for a situation like the Caron Butler trade. You also have to really find a way to move Jose, no matter what. Seeing as how Hedo is unmovable, you can't live with $20M of Hedo/Jose for 4 more years.

If he has any of those guys I am pretty sure he becomes the 2nd best player. Especially with Roy.
