Dont know what to make of this http://torontosun.com/Sports/Basketball/2008/04/08/5223776-sun.html All-Star Chris Bosh has admitted a lack of trust in his Raptor teammates, according to the Toronto Sun. In the team's last two games Bosh has failed to rely on his teammates late in games, resulting in losses to the Bobcats and Nets. "I have to do a better job of trusting my teammates," Bosh said Monday. "I've lacked in that and I can be man enough to say I've made that mistake. I've talked with the coaches and they told me the same thing -- trust my teammates."
I guess it must be a little disheartening for him. Last year must've been such a rush, exceeding all expectations. This year, they played well, but fallen back down to earth. Add to that, his recent injury and somewhat of a freefall, it's perceivable for him to lose faith in his teammates. As a team, they haven't really been scoring the points needed. They don't have a proven second scorer and Calderon and Parker (two of their most consistent guys) are MIA... I think they'll pick it up for the playoffs. Just hope they end up above Philly, so they play the Magic.
His teammates are stealing his commissions. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Hv7IZP7u9FE&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Hv7IZP7u9FE&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
Bosh sucks. One of the overrated players. All-star my ass. U gotta love his defense.....it gives you good chuckles. U gotta love his rebounding.....another dude who wait for the ball to hit his head. How many times Bosh post-up nowadays? Bosh will shoot more 3 ptrs than post up very soon. Face-up jumpers are his main diet. Bosh has athleticism and quickness but he has no power - a Marcus Camby with better offense and worser defense. His numbers dont hold up against better competitions. So, how could you call this dude a franchise player? The Craptors are paying Bosh max dollars. You can put players around Bosh for pony show but not for playoff basketball.
Granted, I haven't seen Bosh play much, but he has only taken 18 three pointers all year (and made 8).
Hey where's the poster ChrisBosh? He should be in here defending his guy and simultaneously dissing Tmac.
How can you defend my hometown Craptors? I used to watch the Craptors games in ACC but have stopped. It's a product I dont appreciate. Say no to Chris Bosh and Sam Mitchell. btw, the Craptors are back to sub 500 - in Eastern Conference!? What a joke!
Bosh isn't the big problem in Toronto. Their team is soft and needs some meanness. When I think of the Raptors, the word "sissy" comes to mind. A new coach might help too.
Trusting your teamates is Immportant because it will get your confidence up knowing your teamates are........And if your all out there having fun.......playing well together and trustin one another.......Things just seem to fall into place.. ~ROX~
I was a Rockets fan before the Raptors came into the league..... doublebogey... Chris Bosh had plantar fasciitis issues last year, the same thing Duncan had when he had his worst year as a pro..... I admit he needs to improve his D and he needs to develop some sort of a post game........ though to say he sucks is just silly, he's a 20pt 10reb type player, he's 23 years old, plus when he was out with his knee injury his team tanked. He can't get a rebound unless it hits him on his head ..........tell me why Bargnani struggles with it if rebounding is sooo easy that you can let the ball come to you? You sound like you are a Maple Leafs fan
ChrisBosh fans, I sympathy you with such a moniker. Dont find excuse for Chris Bosh for his rebound. Chris Bosh just doesnt like dirty work. There are enough balls bouncing around for him to grap 10 rebounds easily. When has Tim Duncan not averaged 10+ rebounds, plantar fasciitis or not? Bosh is just lazy and lack of efforts. Bosh sucks if you pay him max dollars and want to build a team around him. It's like you dont build a team around Antawn Jamison (who's a better player than Chris Bosh as is) or Michael Redd. Otherwise, you have "FAILED" written all over it. They are all at best a 2nd star for a team, not franchise players. I really dont see there's chance for Chris Bosh to improves his post plays, 23 or not. It's not like Chris Bosh will suddenly alter his body frame without a narrow shoulder that can put on weight. It's dirty work and it takes a lot of poundings. Bosh simply doesnt like dirty work and poundings. If you compare Bosh FGA of "inside shots" (close to the baskets) with other star PFs, Bosh is behind the averages. Hey, Antawn Jamison, who is known as a jump-shooter, averages more FGA of "inside shots" than Chris Bosh. Chris Bosh is more of a jump shooting PF than you know. A jump shooting team is no more but a pony show.
what to make of it (the op) ?? The guy says he needs to improve on something. He's recognized a weakness in his overall game and wants to improve it. That's what you take it as.. I don't see what else it could be. He wasn't taking a shot at anyone..not even close.
I guess we can agree to disagree. I' say the same stuff about McGrady, but people tend to make me out to be a hater, it's a matter of opinion. If you think Chris Bosh sucks, then so be it....we'll se in 5 years if you are still around to stick up for the comments you made. Time will tell. Though your point that getting 10+ reb's a game is easy...... is a ridiculous statement. I don't think anyone in here will agree with you on that point.
