Well, as distasteful as it all is, I’ll mention the lawsuit reported today against Chris Bosh. Chris’ ex says he cut her off and hasn’t supported their kid since her birth. Chris says he’ll take of his responsibilities. In other words, classic he said/she said.
I’m not going to speculate or cast aspersions on anyone. I for one trust the courts to sort this stuff out. If she’s trying to “play him,” as some say, hopefully the courts will recognize that and not let her get away with it. If Chris has been a deadbeat, hopefully the courts will figure that out and that kid will get the support it needs.
At the end of the day, that’s all that matters. Both of these people, both adults, need to sort their shit out – and if they need the help of a court, fine – and get right to making that kids life the best it can be. That’s a simplistic view, perhaps, but honestly… that’s what the focus has to be.
As for what’s going on in the rest of the Raptor world, well, not much. They’ve signed someone named Quincy Douby to a 10-day, and brought back Nate Jawai, to fill out the bench for the last couple weeks. Perhaps that means they’re getting ready to give Bosh, Jose and Bargnani extended rests? A little more Roko-motion? I’m not a fan of “shutting players down” unless they’ve got an actual injury – there are still people paying to see these games, and they’re paying to see the best players after all, and I vehemently disagree with tanking. But if those players play 5 or 6 fewer minutes than usual, if the young guys get a little more burn, I think we can all live with that.
Now, couple other things… I’ve been writing intermittently, finishing up my Watchmen review, my Secret Invasion Review, and some thoughts on iPhone 3.0. But it’s been a crazy couple of weeks so I’ve not had time to edit them and get them posted. It’s all coming soon, though. Stay tuned.
