Zach is delusional to claim he is better than Chris Bosh? At what position? Quick forward? Maybe not. Zach is not a gazelle. But in the post? Why shouldn`t he claim that? He shouldn`t have become preoccupied with the notion of Amundson`s tongue in his mouth, as he mentioned after the game, and assaulted him because his team was blown out by Lou`s team, but he isn`t a bad little post man, on the down low, you know. Scores, rebounds, but, of course, teams need defense as well as offensive, and his teams have tended to be offensive in their lack of defense. Corelatedly, if Camby is such an overpowering defensive prescence the Post wants him back in NYC, why are the Clippers such an underpowered defense? Yeah, maybe Davis, if healthy, could stnad a veteran big wing guard added to the starting line up for both ends of the court, his young backcourt mate is not big, but it isn`t just one man not playing defense, it is the whole team.

Delusional??? Zach is a better POWER forward. However, that position is practically extinct, due to the sissy-ball being forced on us fans. He is the better rebounder, and more consistant scorer. Bosh, on the other hand, is a very over-rated player on a very bad team. But he seems to be an AOL media darling. Bosh is more athletic, but seems to disappear at times.
