Bosh says O’Neal cheated in his 45-point night

[Lupe]

PHOENIX (AP)—Toronto’s Chris Bosh had an explanation for how Shaquille O’Neal scored 45 points: He cheated.

“He was just camping down in the lane,” Bosh said Friday night, after O’Neal’s biggest scoring night in six years led Phoenix to a 133-113 victory over the Raptors. “I mean, if they’re not calling three seconds—I thought it was a rule, but I guess not.”

It was the 49th 40-point game of O’Neal’s career and his highest-scoring game since he got 48 for the Los Angeles Lakers against Boston on March 21, 2003.

“It was cool,” O’Neal said. “Guys were really looking for me. I’ve been saying all year if I can get those touches like that, I think I can do that every night.”

A week shy of his 37th birthday, Shaq made 20 of 25 shots and grabbed 11 rebounds.

“He’s just so strong and pushes guys right under the basket and gets inside,” Toronto coach Jay Triano said. “We have no match for him.”

O’Neal still insists no one can guard him one on one.

“I’m the only player,” he said, “who looks at each and every center and says to myself, ‘That’s barbecued chicken down there.”’

Bosh is a bitch.

Shaq is a monster. Bosh, you don't have to deny it.

 

[Mit]

bosh is complete ass for saying this.
I watched the game and Shaq just backed him up and GOT into the paint then scored.
what a pansy.
Shaq is just beastly.

Yes, he is.

who gives a flying fuck if he camped. if the refs didn't call it, why didn't bosh do the same thing

 

[OKCL]

I was watching the game for the most part, he was in the paint a lot, but still this was one of his most dominant performances in his career

 

[Primetime]

Shaq for MVP.

Because Bosh is like a pop tart.

shaq had a great game

I'm just curious on how you can then take a shot at the refs, who are paid to do what they do.

I'm pretty sure they know what 3 in the Key is, Chris Bosh

 

[G-men]

shaq is definitely a glitcher

but seriously thats pretty bitchy on bosh's part. "he cheated" wow...

Lol @ people hating on CB4. And lol @ Len callin Bosh a bitch. SMH.. Kendrick Perkins, thats a bitch.

Get mad at dude all you want, you knows hes right. Shaq does camp in the post and a ton of calls are missed. Officiating in general is terribly inconsistent in the NBA.

Bosh is frustrated tho.. the whole team is. Definitely venting his frustration. Hes usually not so out-spoken on those matters. Im glad he spoke up tho.

Huh @ this post? Do you watch basketball? NBA officiating is brutal. And thats without defending Chris Bosh's comments.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Bosh is overrated and mad that his is stuck in the death bed of NBA talent

Death bed of NBA talent? Elaborate on the ignorance please. If anything we breed great NBA talent that doesnt stick around. SMH @ your terrible logic.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

T-Mac and Vince Carter arent and weren great players? Wow. Ok.

Marcus Camby, Damon Stoudamire, Chris Bosh, Charlie V. In 13 seasons of existence thats not good talent breeding? Sometimes I wonder if people even think of what they're saying before they say it..

But some how some fool from Indiana thinks the Raptors are a death-bed for NBA talent.. like dudes have come to Toronto for their careers to die. Again, your logic is spectacular..

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

What? Lol. Im not defending his point, im refuting your moronic and flawed logic.

One season (thats not done yet) possibly without the playoffs and Chris Bosh is stuck? Noone forced him to sign a multi-year contract to play for what he considered a young team on the rise. Noone is going to put a gun to his head if he decides to stay now, either. Hes far from stuck. Any other flawed logic you'd like to use in this thread?

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Im waiting for him to propose.
