<font size=""4"">Something special</font> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Both players had double-doubles with Calderon finishing with 10 points and 11 assists in just shy of 23 minutes while Ford had the exact line in 26-plus minutes. Bosh wasn't about to let that go unnoticed. "I've been playing well, but they've been playing a lot better," he said. "They've been getting the whole team involved every night." As Bosh was finishing up his post-game media scrum, Howard entered the Raps dressing room prematurely ending the questions. Turns out even the opposition had to mark this kind of evening.</div> <font size=""4"">For Sam, it goes beyond tolerance</font> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Mitchell understands those concerns, calling locker rooms "tough" environments. But he finds it sad that people are still shunned because of their sexual orientation. He hopes his players would follow his example by judging people on their words and actions and not on things beyond their control. "It shouldn't be about tolerance," he said. "It should be about respect. People should treat people as human beings. I wouldn't use the word tolerance. Are people supposed to tolerate me because I'm black? Or are they supposed to treat me with respect because I'm a human being? "I grew up in an area of this country (Georgia) where people didn't like you because of the color of your skin," he said. "I can't change the colour of my skin any more than someone else can change who or what they are." </div> <font size=""4"">Where's the love, Sam?</font> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Sam, let's not fight.

"It made me feel good, it made me smile, I hope they keep it up," he said after a career-best 41-point night in Toronto's 113-103 triumph over the Orlando Magic. "I was telling people earlier, I was trying to be serious at the free-throw line ... but I had to crack a couple of smiles."</div> <font size=""4"">Amaechi first NBA player to come out</font> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">'For real?

Only 99 of his 413 field-goal attempts have come down low this season, compared with 162 three-pointers. A more even ratio would suggest he's taking better advantage of the matchup problems his size and skills can potentially create. It's starting to come. "He's been getting really, really aggressive going to the basket and finishing," teammate Chris Bosh said. "I hope everyone saw that tape, because he put some guys in the basket. . . . He's going to have a complete game soon. He's posting guys up, taking guys off the dribble with both hands. He's passing well, he's shooting well. It's the full picture."</div> Bosh whacks Magic<font size=""4""></font> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">What won't have to be re-evaluated is the voting by fans who picked Raptors forward Bosh as a starting all-star for the Eastern Conference. They nailed it. Lost in the glare of Shaq, LeBron, D-Wade and Gilbert Arenas, Bosh is probably the all-star you know least about. Then again, he plays in hockey country.</div> <div align="center"><font size=""5""><u>Sunshine Girl - 2/8/07</u></font> </div>
I know Sam Mitchell has a rough relationship with some of the reporters but i don't blame him for being hard on Kathryn Humphreys. The Toronto Sun article re: wheres the love Sam article is meaningless drivel.
