Bosh Gets Bashed By Toronto GM
The Heat Hate Wagon has crossed the northern border
LeBron's been burned in effigy by so many major U.S. cities that the practice threatens to become a national pastime.
D-Wade has been the target of several Tweefs and is on the short list to be added to the U.S. terrorist watch list.
So Chris Bosh was really past due and probably feeling left out, until he got his bit of hate mail Monday.
Bosh's former boss, Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo didn't go so far as to pull a Dan Gilbert and say his former superstar quit on the team last season, but he did question his heart.
Colangelo told a Toronto radio station Bosh might not have been injured at all when he sat out a few games because of a reported knee injury. Bosh was cleared to play, but didn't had low pain "tolerance," Colangelo implied.
"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,” he told FAN 590.
But wait. There's more.
"Whether he was mentally checked out or just wasn’t quite into it down the stretch, he wasn’t the same guy," Colangelo continued. "I think everybody saw that, but no one wanted to acknowledge it.”
Being the only player on a losing team can sap a lot out of you. But being hated on has become a right of passage for new members on the current Heat roster.
Maybe this will all work out in Miami's favor. Colangelo can start collecting Bosh jersey's a "Bosh's Pit" T-shirts and ship them south to clothe the rest of the homeless who don't get a LeBron James jersey from Cleveland.
We're monitoring Bosh's Twitter account for any response, but so far he's been quiet. Probably too busy getting his fingers sized for all those championship rings the Big Three have promised.
