Bosh Focused On Maintaining Level Of Play

Raptors forward Chris Bosh has once again started strong, but this season he's focused on maintaining his level of play.

Bosh is averaging 31 points and 14.7 rebounds through Toronto's first three games. He started the 2008-09 season off very strongly, but faded as the year went on.

"That was one of the major concerns coming into this summer," he told the Toronto Star, "not only the second half of the season but the second half of games and just being able to stay strong.

"It's easier said than done ... but I'm just trying to stay consistent, that's my main thing this year. I know last year I got off to a really good start and I really, really regressed as the season went on. I'm trying to keep it steady this year."

He added 15 pounds of muscle in the offseason, which has made it easier for him to crash the boards.

"I'm more inside on the offense, I'm in the right positions," Bosh added. "That's all it is. You have to get positioning early and you have to be strong with guys, but you have to be inside first and that makes it a lot tougher on a team."

I won't be surprised to see Bosh have a big year.

He got a boost from being on the Redeem Team and he's in the final year of his contract, so he has to put up big numbers to get a max contract.

It's early, but I won't be shocked to see Toronto struggle and Bosh leave next summer.

Bosh needs to learn to force things...especially his shots. He finnaly as the talent around him that he doesn't need to do everything on the court anymore. He needs to start trusting his teamates more and pass the ball a lot more because everytime he gets the pass he takes the shot which stops all ball movement. If he continues the ball movement then they'll score the ball a lot more. Plus he needs to step up defensively as well...because when he does were a lot better.

I hope he keeps it up.

I've got Bosh on my fantasy team. :man1:
