PrintThe last time Chris Bosh was in town, he gave the Nets the brush off when asked if the New Jersey/Newark/Brooklyn Nets held any lure for him. Nope, he said, the record speaks for itself. At the time, Bosh was reasonably happy in Toronto, but times have changed. The Raptors fell below .500 Friday, losing to the Thunder by 26, as Toronto fans booed them off the court. If they make the playoffs--they're in 8th place now, the Raptors will be the worst defensive team in nearly 30 years to do so. Bosh has been temperamental lately, obviously frustrated by another mediocre season that doesn't look much different from the last several in spite of his usual sterling numbers: 24 points and 11 rebounds a game.
For the Nets, catching Toronto on the back end of a home-and-away back-to-back--with everyone healthy--holds some promise. .

Forget the nets
I’ll be watching college basketball… Much more entertaining and exciting.

Well shouldn’t be hard to average 11 rebounds a game when Andrea Bargnani is your next best rebounder
Bosh should leave in my opinion since the raptors are only getting worse from here. Colangelo made a last ditch effort to keep him and save his job by pouring money on Turkoglu and Bargnani. Now their cap flexibility will be dead with two horrendous defenders. It would take real luck or a dumb GM for them to improve.
Just goes to show everyone here, you don’t throw big contracts around, because the repercussions are huge. It will affect your team for years and years and will probably shape your entire destiny as a team
If he has a change of heart - I'd still take him
I’d love to add a 20 and 10 guy to the front court to play next to Lopez. But, as long as he’s wearing another team’s uniform, I hope we kick his butt. Let’s get #8 tonight!

Tonight feels like a loss coming
I just can’t see a win tonight, but since I thought they’d beat Philly and was wrong, maybe they’ll win.
Then again, you’ll rarely go wrong betting on a loss with this team.
But the Nets can’t even keep Weems in check, let alone Bosh or Bargnani or Turkoglu…
Prediction:
1) Nets take 15 point lead going into the half.
2) Bosh explodes in locker room.
3) Raps outscore Nets by 20 in the 3rd quarter, and finish off the Nets in the 4th quarter for a win.
