His post was two sentences long and just brought up the point that Mitchell's offense continues to force the ball into Bosh at the top of the free throw line. It's a valid counter to the criticism that Bosh has become predictable on offense and forces it too often. And it's a point that you agreed with when I restated it, so I'm not sure what your beef was. As for the jumpball, I agree he messed up. But, as I said before, that shouldn't even have been the game defining play. In fact, I'm not even sure how pointing out a botched jumpball justifies putting such a large amount of blame on Bosh.

I cant believe what im reading. People are giving up on Bosh already!? Guys he's 22...he's still improving. This team is still improving and growing. You gotta have some patience. Bosh and this team are both MUCH improved from last season. who said its going to be an overnight thing? We're looking at another season or two before we're a next level team...and lets face it, Dallas are already there...the way the calls went in this game is proof of that. If we got the 2nd pick in that draft and got Darko, this forum would be filled with "why oh why didnt we get Bosh" quotes. You'd be DYING to have bosh on our team. So he's made some lapses on D and some mistakes in games...he's also won games for us with great play in the 4th...don't focus on the bad. As for the game, I really hate the way Dallas play. They spend the first half pissing and moaning about EVERY single one of their shots that dont go in. If a shot misses...they say something to the ref...and wow...what a magical turn of events. In the 2nd half they seem to get all kinds of phantom calls ie: TJ's jump ball that was called a foul. AWFUL call. The way the officials handle the mavs and their whinning is really annoying. Secondly, im STILL frustrated by Mitchell's rotations...where were Parker and Bosh 6 minutes into the 4th? Unbelivable the way he left Joey and his defensive mental lapses in there in stead of Parker who was playing so well (again). Wow was this game ever frustrating to watch.
wow havent logged onto this in ages..but honestly..you guys are retarted by saying Bosh is not a franchaise player..just look at the progress bosh and this team has made..he's only 22..he has never made it to the playoffs..give him time..he's gonna be like KG..his numbers and KG's are very similar when they both entered the league..give him time n this game was Mo's fault he was told not to leave howard..and he did
