They really do resemble each other (srs), its just that Hill has no talent in comparison, maybe Bosh could help him out, just by going against him in practice everyday.

After 2 games? How about 4 years and it appears as if he is taking his 22.5+10+ to the next level and he's on his pure prime.

ok now i know you're dj in disguise... u slipped my friend, u slipped.

Sometimes I wonder if Melo is the #1 player we should target given Mike D's system. I don't know how well LeBron would handle it. The whole - Chuck and play limited Defense - thing. I think Melo would be amazing in his system.

So if you're saying we could sign Bosh, keep Lee, and sign Melo the following year? Then, sure, we're onto something. A very big something.

If you're bringing his 4 years in the league, then yeah, if you want to max him out and add a PF version of Allan Houston, go for it!

Me, I'd rather continue to suck until we can get a real franchise center piece. I don't think Bosh has proved to be one worthy of max dollars.

Weird, just a couple of games into the season and a game after he scored 37, 38 pts or what ever it was...I think he might be pissed off that Colangelo just said recently he may not be worth the max. for them in the off-season...Stupid comment by Colangelo if you ask me - you just did a pretty good job of re-tooling the team around Bosh for this season. Now let it unfold a little and save the dumb comments for another time. All you say there is he's our best player and we'll have to deal with that in the off-season when the time comes...That's it. Now he went ahead and created controversy by getting his best player all ticked off. Stupid..

Fin--I think that you are absolutely right on there--he probably made Bosh mad and there was no reason to say that publicly ---unless he already knows that he will have to trade him in fear of losing him for no value.

He showed an intensity on the defensive end that I haven't seen from him up till this point. If he can keep that intensity up for the rest of the season, Toronto will be a very tough team to stop.

Hey as good as Bosh was yesterday, and he was excellent again, how good and DEEP is that Magic team? Man. No Carter yesterday. And also no Pietrus. Yet they still go into Toronto & pretty much handle the Raptors & won the game (they were up pretty big earlier until the Raptors got it closer and made a game of it). They're finally getting some decent contibution outta JJ Redick too - this guy stepped up big with 27 yesterday. It took him a little while but since last year I've noticed he's playing more and more like he belongs in the NBA. And to think this guy might not even play most nights when Vince, Pietrus & Lewis are back..I betcha MDA wishes he had this kid Redick shooting the rock for us right now..

I really think that's the team to beat this year guys. As good as the Lakers and Boston are and as good as Lebron makes that Cavs team look, this Magic club is the best team in the NBA imho. That team had a phenomenal off-season...I love how they put that team together. The only thing you can say is that they're a little inexperienced but that doesn't even hold water -- this team went to the finals last year. And I think they're hungry to get back. They don't even have Rashard Lewis playing yet...I'd love to see Orlando/Lakers this year...I think the Magic beat 'em this time..
