Bosh Adjusting To Lesser Role On Offense With Heat 'Extremely Difficult' 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed May 15, 2013 5:13 pm

During Chris Bosh's tenure with the Toronto Raptors, the roster was built around him as their franchise player.


When joining the Miami Heat in 2010, Bosh was expected to take on a more complementary role on offense alongside LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.


“Everybody says they want to win,’’ said Bosh. “But it’s always about what you’re willing to sacrifice to win. My situation is totally different. I rarely get play calls and before I was getting about 20 touches a game just off play calls (with Toronto). And that’s just something that I had to get used to. Just trying to match a different role in a different situation, it’s been extremely difficult for me. But I’ve kind of embraced that challenge and it continues to be a challenge. It’s never been easy. I try to rise to the top no matter what I do.’’

his comment seems a little overblown by this headline.

of course it's a struggle, but you would think he's complaining about his role.

i think wade will never be completely healthy due to the way he plays...plus he is getting older.
