Chris Bosh is rested and ready to resuming his role as the linchpin of the team, offensively and defensively.

?That's my job. When I signed up for this, that was under my description: Make it easier for everyone. Make everybody better. That's my job and I'm used to it now, so I will continue to do it.?

In his absence, the Raptors have been leaning more on Andrea Bargnani.

?I was watching to see how he was going to do and, sometimes, when a certain player's out, your role changes and he was probably one of the primary scorers ? he already is ? but he moves up a little bit and it's tough sometimes. But we don't have to worry about that any more,? said Bosh.

?When Chris plays, it's more easy,? Bargnani said Thursday. ?They guard me with more attention. It's tougher, the other team prepares the [game plan] more.?

But the recent experience might help Bargnani long-term.

?I think it' s going to help him down the road because it's new,? Raptors head coach Jay Triano said. ?It's something he'll have to adapt to if he's ever going to become the focal point of the offense on certain plays.?
