The Raptors: Game 2, reviewed
network.nationalpost.com 4/23/2008 — It might yet be a series, but this was a golden opportunity wasted. Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis aren't going to shoot 11-for-36 too often, and the Raptors had a chance steal a game on the road. But the start was horrid again, and Chris ...

Look, Chris Bosh had a great shot. Here’s the funny thing — I sort of laugh at the coverage, nothing personal, guys. I do. Because here’s what coaching comes down to: When Chris Bosh raises up to shoot that shot at the end of the game, and the ball is in the air, stop it [...]

It’s the NBA recipe for spine-tingling memories: the Raptors put the ball in the hands of their best player in their season’s biggest moment. Chris Bosh let fly a 19-footer with 1.9 ticks left in Game 2.
And so much would be different this morning in Raptorland if Bosh produced the swish instead of the [...]
Game 2 Heartbreak: Mitchell draws up middle-school play with :09 left —
Arsenalist
Phil Jackson once said that a series hasn’t even started until a team loses a home game, so take some solace in knowing that we have what it takes to beat the Magic. Today was an extremely unlucky evening where we were any one of a rebound or a point away from winning the game, it’s just sad that Chris Bosh couldn’t hit the jumper and it’s much sadder that the quality ...
Raptors notebook: Toronto will turn to Bosh in Game 2 —
Posted Sports : Basketball
ORLANDO — On the list of things that the Toronto Raptors probably thought they had going for them heading into their series with the Orlando Magic, Chris Bosh's dominance of the opposition probably sat atop it. So it was a bit bewildering, then, that Bosh had only 11 field-goal attempts during the Raptors loss in Sunday's Game 1. That number is a bit deceiving, as Bosh did take 13 free ...

Hey Chris, get in line.
Irked by comments that Screamin’ A made on the air - someting about the Raptors’ leader being as soft as Manute Bol - Bosh went off on the loudmouth talking head.
“If you have respect for someone, you expect that same respect back,” Bosh said yesterday. “If you’re a classless person like that, I mean, I guess ...

Steve Buffery of the Toronto Sun : "Chris Bosh measured his words carefully yesterday, after the Raptors's opening playoff loss to the Orlando Magic at Amway Arena. But they were very telling, and a little cryptic. Bosh, obviously a very frustrated team captain, said that the reason why the Raptors started Game 1 so poorly -- falling behind by 20 points after the first quarter -- was because ...

Apparently, Stephen A. Smith (described by the Toronto Star 's Doug Smith as "a prominent ESPN analyst known for his loud delivery and over-the-top commentary") called Raptors star Chris Bosh "soft," and to assert his point compared the NBA's 10th leading scorer (Bosh, that is) to ... Manute Bol , a gentleman to be credited for his political work of behalf of change in Darfur but otherwise ...

It was hard to tell if Chris Bosh was smiling after the Raptors practice yesterday at Amway Arena, or just gnashing his teeth.
Probably a little of both.
he also is livid over comments made by noted TV and radio blowhard Stephen A. Smith, who, in a typical on-air rant, called Bosh a soft player, [...]

This is the kind of quote I would have got for you if I was an actual reporter and I was writing up that Bosh vs. Howard article for, you know, an actual newspaper: "'This is Superman against Lex Luther,' Howard said referring to his match-up against Raptors star and buddy Chris Bosh." ( from the Orlando Sentinel ) Oh, and here's another Bosh vs. Howard story in the Sun . Doug Smith ...

In a star-driven league where its marquee players get preferential treatment, the Raptors are hoping Chris Bosh is afforded the same luxuries.
In the most basic of terms, it’s known as getting the calls when an official blows his whistle.
Despite his status as a three-time all-star, Bosh hasn’t always been given the benefit of [...]

Detroit’s reserve unit outplayed what was essentially Toronto’s starting five in the last 12 minutes. Led by reserve Rodney Stuckey’s 10 fourth-quarter points (Stuckey had 18 points overall, matching the entire output of the Raptors’ bench), the Pistons prevailed 91-84.
The result came despite the best efforts of Toronto’s all-star forward Chris Bosh, who had ...

Bargnani - a couple of good drives to the hoop off the dribble does not cover up some horrible defence. Especially when you miss on half of them.
