Bosh rips Raptors after disappointing loss to WarriorsBy Geoff Lepper, for NBA.com

OAKLAND (NBA.com exclusive) -- Toronto coach Jay Triano has thus far resisted the urge to change lineups in response to his team's recent run of poor play, which has dropped the Raptors to eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
After Toronto's disappointing 124-112 loss to Golden State on Saturday -- the Raptors' fourth consecutive defeat -- Triano's hand might have been forced. By his own best player.
In some of his most outspoken commentary of the season, Raptors star Chris Bosh lambasted the play of his team after it allowed 41 third-quarter points to the lowly Warriors, the frustration of sinking back to .500 for the first time in six weeks coating every syllable.
"Just do it. Act like you care," Bosh said. "We need to do the things that win. We don't do the things that win. We're trying to make the playoffs, we're trying to get a fifth seed, but that's slipping away. ... It's like if you look at the schedule right now and see 'Toronto,' I'm sure people are checking something in the win [column]."
The Warriors were certainly pleased to be on the receiving end of the Raptors' problems. The win snapped a six-game losing streak and moved Don Nelson to within five games of matching Lenny Wilkens' all-time record for NBA coaching victories.
Toronto (32-32) survived Bosh's recent seven-game absence due to a sprained ankle and a bout of the flu, going 3-4 and not giving up too much ground in the standings. But since his return, things have actually gone in reverse: Toronto has dropped all four contests, including back-to-back double-digit losses to the Kings and Warriors, two teams long out of playoff contention. The Raptors' cushion on ninth-place Chicago is down to 1 1/2 games.
"I'm glad I'm not the coach, because I wouldn't know what to do either," Bosh said. "I don't know how many times you can change it, how many speeches you can give. I don't know how many lineup changes there can be. I don't know. The coaches can only do so much. We have to take control of this team because the clock is ticking."
Other than an early-December move to replace incumbent point guard Jose Calderon with newcomer Jarrett Jack -- a decision originally prompted by Calderon's sore left hip, which caused him to miss 13 games -- Triano has stuck with the same lineup, aside from short-term injury replacements. Turkoglu, Bosh, DeMar DeRozan, and Andrea Bargnani have all started at least 57 of the Raptors' 64 games this season.
Before Saturday's game, Triano wouldn't close the door on the idea of making any changes, but he also didn't sound impressed with what he had at his disposal among the reserves, either.
"I don't see anything, looking at our last couple of games, that warrants a change right now," Triano said. "You can't really single one guy out for not playing or performing the way that he should. Nor do I think anybody who's been on the bench has warranted moving into the starting lineup."
That wasn't the case Saturday, when Calderon (24 points on 8-for-12 shooting, including 7-for-8 on 3-pointers, 12 assists) clearly outplayed Jack (seven points, three turnovers).
Regardless of Triano's decision, though, it's all moot if the Raptors can't get more production from whomever is on the floor. Toronto gave up 18 offensive rebounds and 19 second-chance points to a Warriors team whose only two big men -- Anthony Tolliver and Chris Hunter -- both began this season in the NBA D-League.
"We're the ones who have to find the results, in a good or bad way," Turkoglu said. "We're the ones who put [ourselves] in this situation. We're the ones who are going to solve it."
The Warriors have been searching for a solution to their own thorny problem of how to integrate rookie Stephen Curry and established star Monta Ellis. Saturday, it all worked beautifully: Curry scored 35 points, adding 10 assists, six rebounds and four steals, and Ellis had 31 points, marking the first time both players had crossed the 30-point threshold in the same game.
Each player had five 3-pointers, a career-best in Ellis' case, as the Warriors as a whole shot 59.3 percent (16-for-27) from behind the arc.
"We had one of our plays that worked, and we just nursed it, ran it all night, changed the catch man a few times, and it was all good," Nelson said. "We didn't need to change, they hadn't stopped it. So we stayed with it."
