    Bosh thinking positive

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">
    Chris Bosh would love to play his entire career in Toronto.

    In a recent interview, the club's star power forward admitted that he does think about where he might be playing in future years and acknowledged that finishing his career with one team is something he relishes.

    "I do think that far ahead," Bosh said. "You look at a lot of the great players in the NBA who played for one team and it's a good thing. You keep your feet planted and you develop a long relationship with everybody in the organization."

    It's a tribute to his ability that Raptors fans already are wringing their hands over the fate of the club's outstanding young forward.

    Speculation has run wild recently over whether Bosh will jump ship when his contract expires following the 2007-08 season. </div>




    He's Sow good

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Raptors forward Pape Sow, who is on assignment with Arkansas of the NBA Development League, had a monster game the other night in Austin.

    Sow led the RimRockers to a 108-101 victory over the Austin Toros by putting up 27 points along with a D-League season-high 24 rebounds.

    Do you think the Raps could use some of the boards now? Sow is averaging 19.2 points and 11.9 rebounds with the RimRockers.

    There's no word on when he may be returning to the big team, but he's certainly doing a job in the NBADL. </div>

    Mo Pete: Last Raptor Stnding</a>

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Morris Peterson has outlasted any number of Raptors: long-time teammates like Vince Carter, 10-day specialists like Damone Brown, a handful of good, some bad, a few ugly.

    He's played for three head coaches and two general managers, been in the playoffs and teams that have been in the lottery.

    He has seen all the ups and all the downs and tomorrow night becomes the Raptor who has played in more games than anyone else who's ever donned one of the team's variety of uniforms.

    The 28-year-old Peterson is expected to play in his 417th game for the Raptors tonight in Auburn Hills, Mich., against the Detroit Pistons, tying Alvin Williams for most games for a single player in franchise history, and, barring any unforeseen misfortune, he'll eclipse the record tomorrow at home against the Atlanta Hawks.

    "It does mean something to me," Peterson said recently. "Not a lot of guys get to stay with one team, especially in this day and age, for their whole careers.</div>


    It was once icy Christmas


    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">While on the subject of Christmas, good for those Pistons who didn't look past those spunky Spurs and ahead to tonight's acid test at The Palace against those ragin' Raptors. Toronto enters at 6-21, and GM Rob Babcock continues to asset his team's only two untouchables are Chris Bosh and success.</div>
