Now for the Raptors: Chris Bosh is a beast. If he isn't at least considered for MVP this year, I will be shocked and lose a lot of faith in the NBA. Sure, his rebounding numbers might not be with Howards; and his points might not get to the 50's like James' or Kobe's, but what he does for his team is more intangible like a Kevin Garnett last year. Did anyone see their game today against Charlotte? Admittedly, they were all playing like shit, but Bosh refused to let them lose. 14 points, 3 blocks (+many more altered), 5 rebounds (at least) - are pretty impressive numbers for the fourth quarter; but it was the fact that he brought his team along with him that kept them in the game. He was running the floor, being intense of defense, going after the offensive boards, boxing out, getting to the free-throw line, driving the basket, and kicking when need be that made him so great in that quarter. What other issues do they have? Rebounding? O'Neal, Bosh, and Moon should take care of that. And besides that, Bargnani is being less of a bitch and is willing to go under either basket now. Back-up point-guard? Calderon is just as good as any all-star guard, but no one really knows about the people behind him: Roko Ukic, and Will Solomon. Ukic is a speedy little fucker, who knows how to set up the right people the right way. His major bash against him is how young and flimsy he is; but he can hold his own for a while if Jose needs a rest. Will Solomon is more bulky, and can drive the lane (something even Jose doesn't do well). Just look at him today: 7 assists in the 4th quarter. Sure it might've been against Charlotte, but if you saw them, I'd say the majority would've worked against Boston just as well.
