I like Bosh and Boozer is tough but neither is a true center.

........and there is the reason NBA players struggle playing the international game. They just don't adjust to the International Ref's when early fouls are called thinking they can just play NBA ball and things will be what they are used to November-June. Spain and Greece are still very much the teams that play the international game as well as the United States because those guys grew up playing those rules and style.
They could have used another big body to combat early foul trouble but just don't have such a player on the roster.
