Hooped Up

The Raptors are far from hot these days and the boo-birds were out in full force after they lost to the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. Still bothered by the boos reserved for the Maple Leafs, Bosh told the media yesterday that ”If I wanted to get booed, I’d go on the road,” and that ”Fans, whether they know it or not, they dictate a lot,” he said. “They’re a major, major part of the game. You know walking into other buildings, it’s tough to play sometimes if the fans are being supportive, if they’re loud.”

An unhappy Bosh is the last thing the Raptors need as they begin a six game road trip, starting today against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
