I believe Chris Bosh hasn’t made up his mind. How can he? He doesn’t know how this team will finish. Nor does he know what teams will have cap room and what their plans are. However, more frustrating are the comments I’ve read recently about him not being worth a maximum contract. Frankly, I was shocked but it was worth “refreshing” my own thoughts on the topic. So I did a bit more research and concluded that:

Even a half-french-half-nelson can’t stop CB4.
It’s been a minute, but I’m back. Sadly, not a whole lot changed while I was gone.. The fortunes of this team have remained the same. Regardless of how we got here, the fact of the matter is that this team is worse off right now then when BryCo took [...]

The “6 meaningless wins in a row” Edition
Banks – Hoping for a bail-out.
Bargnani – I’d still rather have Brandon Roy, but it doesn’t sting as much anymore. We know he can score, awkwardly as it may be; we know he can grab a few rebounds here and there; his defense has been coming along, 4 [...]

Kobe’s fadeaway is the most unstoppable shot in basketball.
Lakers 115, Raptors 107
Let’s examine the checklist: Played hard. Check. Attacked the rim. Check. Get the W. Not so check but 2 out of 3 ain’t bad. In a season mired with disappointments and letdowns a hard fought loss to the Lakers seems [...]
Toronto Raptors 108, LA Lakers 117
It’s fitting that it was Derek Fisher that sealed this one with a wide open three pointer with under a minute left as the Raptors defense was busy playing musical chairs. It was the 634th time a Laker shooter was left unattended at the arc leading many observers (just [...]
LA Lakers 121, Toronto Raptors 101
