Bosh Wants Fans To Get Tough On Horford

Jan 19, 2008 3:53 AM EST

With Al Horford set to make his first trip to Toronto after the hard foul on T.J. Ford, Chris Bosh is hoping that Raptor fans are less forgiving towards Horford than his team has been.

"That's the nature of this business. Sometimes, even though you did do something unintentionally, I guess they [fans] act like you did it [intentionally]," said Bosh. "And I hope our fans make it tough on him tonight."

While he hopes they are unforgiving, Bosh quickly points out that Horford will not be targeted on the floor.

"It's part of the business; everyone has sent out their apologies since then, we can go on playing basketball," he said. "[Horford] is not a dirty player or anything, he's a hard-nosed guy who plays hard. He seems to be a good rookie and it's kind of tough for him, but that's the nature of this business."
