Bosh gives himself an A/talks about postseason goals
Also of interest, when asked about his realistic postseason goals, he said:

![]() See now I took this the other way... that even if we dont' get to the second round, if we go down fighting in a close series he would consider the season a success. I would tend to agree.

He's usually pretty honest. I can't help but read into it that he is just that much more likely to stay in T.O., not so much because the team wins 2 or 3 playoff games, but that he can see progress and is building toward something. That the team is on the way up at least with Bargnani emerging more, DeRozan showing flashes.
I know that wasn't the question he was asked, but he could easily have said it's win right now or nothing. Everyone player that obviously, but that would be a bad signal in terms of his stay vs. leave mindset. |

![]() How can you guys be complaining about this...
He's talking about winning being something that happens over time - a process. Would you rather him say that unless we make the finals this year he's going to be devastated and leave? As for his self given rating... what do you expect him to say? He worked hard this past summer and took his game to a new level this season. How wouldn't he deserve an A? |

![]() Why be unrealistic? It's really futile in this situation and would only lead to further speculation like many have already stated. Just because he doesn't expect to win the championship it doesn't mean that he won't fight to get there, or it isn't a goal.

![]() I think that's implied. Obviously, they aren't going to win this year, but to me it sounds like the main objective is progressing and moving forward is such a way that they are in a position where it is a realistic goal.

he's doing exactly what colangelo needs him to do and that is let his play speak for him. of course it would be great if he committed and said he was going to stay, but i understand that it is in his best interest not to, so i am content to be patient and let it play out. it's always about politics in a contract year. |

![]() Just because he didn't come out and say "I want to win a championship" doesn't mean that he doesn't want to win. He's already made comments this season to the effect that 'talk is cheap.' He wants to win games - not talk about winning games.

![]() this is why Bosh bugs me.a? a for what?asshole?accomplishments we dont have as a team? him and Bargs were asked the same question and Bosh gave himself an a? (a pompous douchebag?) an a for what, a .500 record? and Bargs refused to answer,refused to give himself a grade and talked about the team. the reporters kept goading andrea into tooting his own horn yet he refused and kept talking about the teams progress until the reporters quit.....check it out, dreas and bosh's videos are side by side on raptors.com in the video section.
![]() a? im still dumbfounded...he gave himself an a?...were .500 and he's patting himself on the back for his individual performance? Last edited by Dan D. Lyons; 01-19-2010 at 12:00 PM. |

![]() He's in the race for MVP on NBA.com despite having a .500 record.
This means that despite having a mediocre record, this guy has put this team on his back just to get them to that record. Every player on that race for the MVP deserves an A... they are the 10 players most impacting the league right now... how can they get a "B" for meeting the average? And those are the facts from NBA.com. |
