Bosh upset in Toronto, good news for us?

"Act like you care,'' he said after a loss to awful Golden State. "We need to do the things that win. We don’t do the things that win. I’m going down and playing offence on their side of the court and their (bench) is louder than we are. That doesn’t make any sense. They’re not playing for anything. We’re trying to make the playoffs. We’re trying to get the fifth seed but that is, like, slipping away every day."

And: "We’re supposed to be gearing up for playoff basketball and this is not playoff basketball," Their bench is more active than ours is. They’re players are getting more stops. They’re getting more offensive rebounds. Everybody is doing everything. If you look on the schedule now and see Toronto, I’m sure people are checking the win box. I can understand if we lose a game going down fighting, but we’re not fighting at all."

Interesting...

I think what it is above anything else is him speaking up as the leader of that team. I was near convinced that he may consider staying in Toronto after how well they had been playing of late, but two things come to mind:

1. The Raptors still need another really good perimeter player to make their next step into Contention. I don’t know that they have enough funds on-hand to bring that guy in. They could hope to bring one in via trades, but we’ll see.

2. Who really ENJOYS living and playing in Canada?

Playing, coaching, and watching basketball.
