Stop Bashing Bosh

[Chosen01]

L Aldridge is NOT better than Bosh.

[WD]

I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt, he's still my X-Factor.

Overreaction. Just remember how **** we looked when Bosh went down with the ankle injury, and generally how **** we look when he's off...like last night. He's important for us, and is honestly superior to all the other PFs for what we need.

I never understood this argument. This is just a testament to how poor the rest of our bench is...of course we suck when he's not in, we're not paying anyone else 14.5mil to play his position.

And to be clear, I like Bosh. But let's be honest about what his impact is and isn't (or rather, what it has or hasn't been this season).

I really like Bosh as a person, he seems like a real chill and laid back guy with similar interests. And in the past I loved Bosh's game, but this season he's had one too many games where you could see him wilt from the pressure and game 3 was one of those. He's mentally weak, and that is not a recipe for a champion! He was being out-muscled by Jeff **** Green! Who's a tweener and seen as soft and weak by many, yet here he was taking it hard as hell to Bosh and Bosh couldn't handle it! WTFH! I'm sorry but for the first time I have to agree, and Bosh even admitted it in that ESPN article, he gets intimidated by the pressure and his balls shrink, we can't be having that!

Which is why you don’t understand basketball in general.

I guess not. Apparently there's a right and wrong way to play PF.

Amare finishes at the Rim, Zach Randolph finishes at the Rim, Pau finishes at the rim and Dirk starts his move at the foul-line elbow IN and not top of the key extended like Bosh.

Amare/Zach/Dirk/Pau/LaMarcus are flat out better players offensively because they can get a high percentage shot at the rim much more consistently than Bosh does. Even LaMarcus is better at it than Bosh. They are all more physical as well. A team with 3 max players should never struggle to score.

As someone else said earlier, WHY DO HIS TEAMATES HAVE TO BEG HIM TO BE AGGRESSIVE? In the off-season Bosh demanded 110 million dollars for your services, then you come out here and play scared? What are you scared of??? This just basketball, not a shoot out in Abadabaad Afghanistan. Why is Bosh always "emotional"?

I’ll tell you why. It’s because he knows that he is PHYSICALLY too weak to play his position (PF = in the paint) against elite competition. So if his jump shot is not wet for that day, he's rendered useless.

Bosh is 18/8 as a third wheel, and for about half the season, he was a 20/10 guy. Explain those numbers for someone you claim is deficient on offense. Amare finishes at the rim more, but that makes him less versatile on offense than Bosh. For all his higher-percentage shots, he only shot 0.6% better on the season. A guy shooting 49.6% taking a lot of jumpers creates spacing. With the lack of shooters we have, Bosh has to fill some of that role. He's our best midrange shooter, and probably our best shooter in general.

He's a better rebounder than Amare and Dirk, better defender than Amare, Dirk and Zach...and probably Pau too. He's younger and cheaper than Pau, Amare and Dirk. His skillset is on Dirk and Pau's level, which means he's more than a finish at the rim guy (not sure how that is a negative).

If you're not satisfied, too bad. We'll have him a while, as Pat Riley is not so short-sighted to trade him off for anything short of a goldmine. It's one thing for the GB and outsiders to bust his balls because the just want to hate on everything Miami. It's another for fans of the team to overlook Chris's importance to the team. All of the Big3 have some elements of their games that they stubbornly refuse to change. Bron should attack more. Wade should shoot less 3's. Bosh should attack more. No point throwing the baby out with the bathwater when they provide in so many other areas. We need Bosh. Glad we have him. PEACE.

STOP BASHING BOSH!

[OceanBlue]

Bosh weathered the early jitters this time and come through in the clutch! Yeah boy!!!

[The5thSunday]

L Aldridge is NOT better than Bosh.

What? I love Bosh but Aldridge is better.

[KDS91]

Why are you bumping an 8 month old topic?

[DefenseWins]

WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFF

bumped just to say Aldridge is better?

[BadMofoPimp]

STOP BASHING BOSH!

Bump!

[StepBack3]

tell em pimp

[This IsMy House]

That was one serious bump

[Jan_Sobieski]

Bosh is a beast in the East Let him eat

Bosh is a beast in the East Let him eat

although this was corny as helll .. it's true

Wade's back os bosh will get like 10-12 touches now instead of 15-20 and his numbers will go down but in reality he should get more touches then wade.. Bosh is efficent, and when he's on fire he's as good as any scorer in the league

Also eric is pretty **** bad at letting streaks go. Bosh goes 7/7 first quarter and gets maybe SIX more shots the rest of the game... embarrassing.

They need to LET BOSH EAT.
