bosh

"I want to see if I can do what's necessary to go in there and win every night. That's the challenge of being a leader. It excites me. It's been a long time and I feel like I'm a much better player and a leader now, so it'll be fun."

Anyone have any news about Justin Hamilton and/or James ennis future this season?

All I know is I want to see dreads bosh make a return and to change his number to 4 again. He is raptor bosh again and if he plays like raptor bosh we will make the finals

I'll believe we utilize bosh correctly when I see it.

Man he made a million last year and was supposed to make a mil this year and it was a team option.
Jesus Christ, Houston is probably the biggest losers this free agency, and we're the ones who lost lebron

[Heat_Fan_87]

they have a poll on espn, what a **** joke. asking how we will do next season, 3 options.
1. miss the playoffs
2. lose in first roud
3. lose in second round

I want a heat bosh with more touches.

Raptors bosh was skinny and played zero defense.

"We weren't going to beat those guys," Bosh said. "They were clicking on all cylinders. ... You can accept losing to such a great team."

[SweetTouch]

Riley is doing everything he can so wade doesn't lose another first round again

I think we have enough for second round

If we were out west my expectations would be tempered, but in the east, I don't see a legit contender. I won't be surprised if we go to the Finals again.

I have no words

But didn't he lose here to play our scheme of defense. Bosh is just a naturally skinny guy , it is his body type and he'll never be a true post up player, he should model his game after dirk though, they have a lot of similarities

I heard we got Birdman on a multi-year contract. Good news.

Yes! So happy to have the Birdman back! All we need is another wing player that can shoot

if wade gets to 2010 form we are champs

I wish. If Wade was at that level again, we'd have a definitive chance at a chip. Such a badass.

athletically he'll never be the same. but he can still be elite with a bigger role now that LeBron is gone. and im hoping this offseason without any medical setbacks, he can get himself right, gets in better conditioning, and lead us next season.

Why does Pat has to follow each good signing with a bad one.

Mcbob and Deng were nice signing but Granger and Chalmers are at least questionable. We are runing of cap space...

Basketball is more polarizing than most sports because generally a basketball team will have one franchise player. Unlike other sports such as football, where a team can lose a franchise player but field a better team.

In basketball losing a franchise player is more debilitating because they account for so much of a teams success. As Heat fans we need to realize that Miami is in a unique situation. Miami had three franchise players and because of that, the lost of Lebron is not crippling.

A team with two franchise players are generally in great position to win a title. Miami still have Wade and Bosh. For those that say Wade is finished, he averaged 19pts and about 4 rebs a game with only shooting between 12 to 13 shot attempts a game. A lot of games where we crucified Wade he had only missed 4 shot the entire game and shot something like 13 for 9 with 20 pts while shooting over 53%. With a few more shot I see no reason he can't average 25 a game.

Miami has a chance to be a better team then they were last year with the pieces we are adding. Lebron made lesser players around him better but made elite players less effective as Lebron dominated the ball. We have become spoiled with thinking that it takes 3 franchise players to win a title.

If the stars align and Boozer is amenstied and falls in our lap we would have a starting five of

Chalmers/Cole
Wade
Deng
Boozer
Bosh

With a bench of

Grainger
Beasley (if resigned)
McRob
Birdman
Napier

Now that would be a really good team
