Something to be said about great players....
It seems to me that what the team needs is "psychological help"....I'm not saying it in a bad way:
They are definitely headed in the right direction, trying to sign good "quality people", because you need a healthy enviroment to grow young players and increase their confidence.
Moreso, I've seen it over and over that players need to be more aggressive in everything they do....I strongly believe that some players "pretend to play" while on the court....they pop into the key and put up a hand, but even that needs to be done aggressively. They have to make themselves a BIG TARGET AND ACTUALLY WANT THE BALL.......
the same is to be said for rebounding..............Rebounders need to make "moves to the basket".........it makes no sense to be constantly positioned behind your opponent on the offensive end, or behind your man on the defensive end........they have to crash the basket.........someone has to "drive" them....instead they hide within the play.

cancer
To me guys like Lamond,Vince and at times last year Eric Williams(mind you he seems a lot better this year) are cancers in a locker room. At times I wish more of the players handled themselves like Alvin did/does.

The salesman at the sports store i went to last night tried to sell me a Vince Carter raptors jersey, I told him he would have to pay me to take it.

Raptors win and look...
Bosh takes 21 shot attempts....and Charlie V adds another 13 shot attempts
If these two guys continue to get over 30 shot attempts per game Raptors will win quite a few more.....why you say:
Cause with their 34 shot attempts: Bosh is 10 for 13 from the line an Charlie V. is 4 for 4..
I have to add that Joey Graham played aggressive and Mike James played another solid game.

Bosh was amazing tonight, man is he quick for a tall guy, no one could play any D on him tonight. He just seems to be getting better all the time. It was a real joy to seem him play tonight.
I predict he'll be on the US team, and at the allstar game.

I think he's referring to...
some Shaq/Duncan-like presence down low.....unfortunately its very hard to come by...and the RAps get beat down low by anyone with a semblance of it.(actually we did have some old tired thing that looked like a Dream-Shake awhile back)
I think the Raptors can do without when Bosh and Villanueva get more time on the floor together....there has already been flashes of greatness between them. It might become amazing to see and could be the main reason Bosh decides to stay in a couple of years.

From the Toronto Sun:
"Bosh saved his best for last, scoring 10 points in the fourth quarter after coach Sam Mitchell told him at halftime to be aggressive instead of settling for jump shots.
The Raptors scored, either a basket or a free throw, on each of their final 13 possessions. Two of those key baskets came on passes from Bosh to Morris Peterson and Charlie Villanueva."
How often aRe the Raptors successful jacking it up in the last quarter?????
But in this game they scored "either a basket or a free throw, on each of their final 13 possessions".........EVERY ONE OF THEIR FINAL 13 POSSESSIONS!!!!!

bosh and charlie V are the next twin towers
bosh is being compared with the best fowards in the nba.
20+ pts 10+ reb
thats all you need.
give him couple of more years
he'll be like Garnett..

My hope is that if Bosh decides to leave I hope he has the decency to let management know so that they can trade him and get something of fair market value in return. Let's hope it doesn't become a Vince or T-Mac situation.
Just checked the Rimrockers roster...
Pape Sow is by far leading the team in all categories.......he's dominating on the boards, points, and blocked shots....
Has anyone watched an NBDL game...is the game any good......is the league as good as the other minor league???can't remember the name.

i agree with the dribbling...but and as for height.Psubs said:He needs to work hard on his dribbling and passing skills to be as good as Garnett. Garnett is also 7'1 now whereas I think Bosh has grown to be 6'11. Bosh's game is somewhere between Garnett and Duncan.
hes only 19
could be growing still COULD be....Garnett isnt doing as well as i want him to be..
last couple of games he hast had double doubles..just short of
couple of rebounds..but still
I believe in the raptors though
I think BOSH has been patient with the team. The way the Raps are playing, I'm curious as to why there hasn't been any criticism from the players. Maybe Sam Mitchell has a hold on this group of players.2cent said:
I'm dreading the day that Bosh's contact expires and he bolts for the US. Phil Jackson didn't help with his comments. The Raptors are going to need to give Bosh the max on his next contract. Beaucoup $$$.
