    True, but when your starting center averages 5 RPG, you NEED great rebounding from your PF if you hope to win many games. Good for Bosh, If he keeps this up, it helps address one of your two biggest weaknesses - rebounding. The other, of course, being defense. And, I just don't see any cure for that given the roster Colangelo has assembled.

    I agreed the author that Bosh's rebounding is a good thing and helps the Raptors win games and that makes me a troll?

    I share the same sentiment as most Raptors fans on this board (all four of them) that a line-up that features five offensive specialists is flawed, and I'm a troll?

    Fine. Have a nice season. Enjoy your board free from outsiders who express an occasional dissenting opinion. It's what you want. It's what you shall have. Sounds boring to me, but it's your board.

    I'm guessing he's annoyed with the repetitiveness of your opinion more than the content of it. speeds is probably more pessimistic about this franchise than you are. I don't particularly mind though.

    As for this topic. I don't think his main area of improvement has been with his rebounding. I mean the number certainly suggest that, but it's too early to depend so heavily on statistics. His added muscle certainly has allowed him to be more active on the offensive boards, but he still doesn't always box out properly and has occasional lapses on the defensive boards (the Memphis game was a good example).

    He has significantly improved his offensive arsenal though. I actually see legit post moves him this season. If he's denied the drive he's still squeezing into the paint and drawing contact because he's more comfortable spinning and using the hop step. He's played with his back-to-the-basket once in a while and hasn't looked awkward at all doing it.

    if i was speeds, i would just redirect boob to the league standing and he would clearly see that the raps as of november 3 have a better record than the blazers.

    Lol, don't leave BNM. And I like that Bosh is averaging 14.7, but we all know that won't last. He'll be down to 11-10 by January. But, our bigs are rebounding nicely this year. Bargnani is stepping it up big time, along with Bosh and Hedo. Gotta say we have a solid front line.

    Don't mind Boob. He'll get mad at you no matter what you say. He's been mad at me for 6 years nonstop. I just humor him and share some illegal heart medicine to calm him down.

    Bosh needs to cut his dino hair.

    Besides, it'll make his upper body more noticeably bigger.

    Shookem is just busy with his child. That's what children do to you. Make you stop posting on forums.
