The result was a predictable 94-87 loss to the Boston Celtics, who took advantage of the absence of Toronto's best player.
"I just got up today and I thought fuck it, I'm taking the day off," Bosh told reporters after the game. "I mean, now that there's a brother in the White House I can do shit like this every once in a while."
Bosh, who smelled of malt liquor and weed, had 0 points and 0 rebounds on 0-for-0 shooting from the field in 0 minutes of play.
Jermaine O'Neal had 23 points and 11 rebounds for Toronto (4-3) despite persistent fears that his leg isn't fully attached to his body.
O'Neal, an adamant John McCain (R-Az.) supporter, criticized Bosh's "laziness" following the loss. He also told reporters that despite his 5 assists tonight don't expect him to pass the ball any more this season because he doesn't support "socialist policies." When asked about his costly turnover in the 4th quarter, which sealed the Raptors' fate, O'Neal accused a reporter of "palling around with terrorists" and called a Raptors TV cameraman a "fat cunt."
Sam Mitchell's strategy to leave Boston all-star Paul Pierce unguarded backfired as the defending NBA-champion Celtics (7-1) outscored Toronto by 19 in the 2nd half, including 35-22 in the decisive 4th quarter.
"I thought, if we don't pay attention to him, then maybe he'll just take the piss," said Mitchell, who was fucking around with his iPhone for most of the second half.
"I can't even turn this fucking thing on," Mitchell added when questioned about rumours he sent an obscene text message during the game to Norma Wick about sniffing her panties.
When asked about Bosh's "Obama Day" and the possibility of future Obama-related absences by other players, Mitchell told reporters to "call Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton or some shit," and informed the media that "from now on everyone on the team can have an "Obama day" except for Humphries and Parker."
Kris Humphries and Anthony Parker are currently awaiting the results of DNA tests to determine their eligibility for Obama-related days of rest.
The game was played in front of 18,624 at TD Banknorth Garden in Boston and only 11 fans got to watch on televsion in Toronto as it was broadcast on Raptors TV.
The Raptors ended their 3-game road trip at 1-2 and host Philadelphia on Wednesday in a 7 p.m. tip-off on the Score.

Wow! RT really delivers amazing insight into this turbulent franchise. Fantastic.
No wonder they're struggling, O'Neal refuses to raise his arms above his head in support of John McCain. Rebounds down 14%.
