Chris Bosh's Surreal Post-Game Press Conference

Does Chris Bosh know the meaning of the word 'juxtaposition'?

After a game where Rajon Rondo had his elbow dislocated (in HD, in prime-time, with dozens of gruesome, ultra-slow motion replays) and then used that same arm to steal a pass from within Bosh's grasp, Bosh countered with the smoking pile of a post-game interview shown below.
After dislocating his left elbow, Rondo uses
 the same arm to steal a pass from Bosh.
Bosh:        "You know, I don't want to make any excuses.  I had a bad game.  And, you know, those are going to happen.  I wasn't in the right places at the right time.  I didn't make, uh, many plays on offense or on defense and, umm, I can do a lot better.  Like I said before, I'm not going to make any excuses.  It is what it is and you know nobody cares about it, so (anxious chuckle) that's how it's going to be.  

(10 seconds of awkward silence)

Reporter:  "Chris, how did you pinch your neck this morning?"
Bosh:        "Huh?"
Reporter:  "How'd you pinch your neck this morning?"
Bosh:        "I woke up"
Reporter:   "You woke up with a crick in your neck?"
Bosh:         "Yeah, something like that, yeah."

Reporter:   (with a snigger) "Okay."

What followed was another 10-second span where Bosh looked askance, then scanned the reporters for more questions, then brusquely rose from the podium while mumbling something along the lines of "Tssssch, man."  





So, in summary, Bosh isn't going to make excuses, except that his neck hurts from sleeping and no one cares.  
Ouch.
