Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo was not pleased with the way Chris Bosh played out his last days in Toronto. Apparently, the GM believes that Bosh quit on the team (similar to the fashion LeBron James quit on the Cavs).
"Despite limited swelling and any excessive damage on an MRI, he felt like he needed to sit for six more games," Colangelo said Monday.
"I'm not even questioning Chris' injury. I'm telling you he was cleared to play subject to tolerance on his part, and the tolerance just apparently wasn't there and he chose not to play.
"Whether he was mentally checked out or just wasn't quite into it down the stretch, he wasn't the same guy. I think everybody saw that, but no one wanted to acknowledge it."
Poor Colangelo was so upset with Bosh, he went as far as to say he wasn't fit to build a team around.
"We tried in vain to put pieces around Chris. Different pieces, different styles. It didn't work out. No matter what type of player we brought in, it didn't seem to have the right mix with him as that centerpiece."
Whatever the case, if Miami is now filled with lazy, childish superstars (as some suggest) they may be in for a long season.
