Making the playoffs for the first time/Winning the division

As a member of the Raptors organization, Bosh had great individual success. Unfortunately, the team did not always follow suit. During his tenure, they only managed two playoff berths.

At age 22, Bosh led the Raps to his first appearance in the postseason. It was his fourth season in the NBA and first time being a part of a winning season.

Prior to his first playoff appearance, Bosh never finished with a percentage higher .402. That was a total of 33 wins, a mark his Raptors team hit twice during Bosh’s time. In 2006-2007 the Raps finished the regular season first in the Atlantic. It was the first time in team history that they won their division.  For the organization, it was a huge milestone.

Bosh and his teammates rolled into the playoffs surging. They had won 9 of their final 12 games, including winning six in a row during that stretch. They faced off against former teammate, Carter, and the New Jersey Nets in the first round that year. Though favourites to win the series, the Raps fell short. They were eliminated in six games.

They did not fare better the following year. Their run was once again cut short in the first round. This time, it was the Orlando Magic who took out the Dinos in five games.
