Chris Bosh on Olympic Intensity
Published 8/19/2008 at ESPN.com - True Hoop - Blog
Chris Bosh e-mails Fanhouse: I'm so excited to get started it's killing me because I want to win that Gold medal so bad and it's still a few days away. This definitely feels like the playoffs right now, maybe even a little more intense. Now, that's borderline NBA blasphemy. As the thinking goes, no puny Euro-geek summer tournament could approach the mighty NBA playoffs in intensity. But then again, I have watched the Raptors in the playoffs the last couple of years, and Bosh is totally ...

Published 8/20/2008 by PaulieDanger (noreply@blogger.com) at World Hoops Blog
... Well, Team You Can't See Me put a beat down on the Boomers. You know guys, that's LeBron's way of saying, "That's what you get for making the friendly close". Team Oh You Didn't Know? is lined up for Manu Ginobli's Argentina who held on for a 80:78 win over Greece. I watched a few minutes, and it was sloppy, sloppy basketball. In the lower half of the bracket is Spain and Lithuania. Fanhouse: Chris Bosh: Beijing Correspondent - This thing is 3 years in the making and we're close, but so far from our goal. Have you ever wanted something so bad and you knew it was a long tough ...
