Bosh: "I'm not going to get ... 20 and 10 with this team."

Good one champ. The raptor rage was concentrated in them dreads.

He about to get traded to the bobcats!

A message to Chris,

It's not about how many points you score, or how many rebounds you get.

It's all about how you do those things. We want an aggressive Chris Bosh that's looking to dominate his matchup. Attack and get the other front line in foul trouble. Don't let Spo limit your abilities. If that mentality left with your dreads, well grow them the **** back.

I honestly thought he could be used in the Lamar Odom mode. I think one of the skills not utilized by the coaching staff is his ability to play the pinch post and create for others.

Problem is (and not a bad one ) is that Lebron and Wade will dominate most of the ball flow within the context of the Heat offense. So it leaves no other opportunities for Bosh to create and kinda establish his game more freely.

He's having to wait til it comes around to his. It just seems he's never adjusted to begin 3rd man and you can tell it frustrates him because he feels he should be getting that 20-10 and he feels the pressure from fans who thinks he is still a 20-10 guy.

As a fan I can sympathize with your frustration of Bosh, we felt the same with LO in LA at times.

I guess at some point you lower expectations and when that can't be exceeded I guess that's when you say it's time to go.

And 1 and great post. Basically with LeBron & Wade dominating the ball like you said he really doesn't have enough opportunities to create for others. That game against the Spurs this year when Wade & LeBron sat out against the Spurs was a perfect example. People on this board overreact a lot and sometimes I really question their basketball knowledge when they say trade this player, etc...Bosh is a very versatile big. Without him this team wouldn't have got past the Celtics last year. Especially with Wade slowing down because of injuries...

As a lurker I agree. You guys flip flop more than the Raptors board! And you're dealing with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, not Demar Derozan and Andrea Bargnani.

When people criticize Bosh,its a mixture of Bosh not living up to his contract, playing soft. And since Heat are in the Finals, people tend to do it a lot more than usual.

It's a matter of being in the post and rebounding. I don't care what this guy averages. His rebound total has been getting worse each year. In the Pacers series he was absolutely TERRIBLE. Wade atleast had an excuse.

Some of it is Spo's fault though, I know that's forbidden to say here. But I'm talking about Bosh taking so many damn 3's. That isn't his game and we should not rely on it. Twice I've seen already we depended on a Bosh 3 to come back late in a playoffs game. His shot is FOOLS GOLD. His midrange is where he should be and the post.

Bosh should be able to rebound against Tim Duncan and Splitter. He killed it against the Bulls

We have a historic team on our hands with LBJ...... i just don't want to half ass it anymore. We are stuck with Spo, but we don't have to be stuck with Bosh.

Imagine Bosh and his 17 million was instead...... TWO good big man, like 1 legit Center and 1 legit PF.

I don't understand. Just because he's not the first or even second option doesn't mean you become a spot up jump shooter from the 3 point line, mix it up. On the Raptors he would drive to the basket at get to the FT like 8-9 times a game. Being a third option doesn't mean you become Bargnani. Attack the rim, you're quicker than Duncan and Splitter.

Much better tonight. He just has to be aggressive and ready. Hope he's out of his funk and this is the minimum of what he gives us the rest of the series.

My worry in giving up on Bosh is that he's still growing as a player, and as Wade declines, his role offensively would grow. I would hate to trade him and then suddenly need another 20ppg scorer on the team because Wade fell off a cliff.

Ideally the way it would work is that 4 years from now it will be Lebron and Bosh's team, and Wade is coming off the bench like Ginobilli and being an impact player that way.

Maybe Chalmers is our super secret weapon though. hha.
