I don't think I'm generalizing too much with this statement. Just look at who's been doing most of the talking? So far Jack, Wright have been doing most of the talking. We've heard a little from Bosh (which was about time) and very little from Turk. Calderon never calls out his teammates it's always about the team, and we haven’t heard from Bargnani, Marco, or Rasho.

While some players said "everybody" had the floor at some point – from Bryan Colangelo, the GM, to assistant coach Alvin Williams – among those who didn't address the team were the franchise's two highest-paid players, Chris Bosh, the captain, and Hedo Turkoglu, the $52 million off-season acquisition.

"I'm tired of talking – I've talked enough," said Bosh. "It was good for me just to hear what everybody else has to say."

good to see or not, that our franchise player had nothing to say... As Yoda would say: very motivating this leader is...

I think its sad that in this day and age racism and divide lives on, especially with professional athletes making millions of dollars most of which are african american who you would think learned a little something about racism in their past.

It is funny how he didn't say anything.
