Miami Heat big man
Chris Bosh doesn't go into the post nearly as much as he used to. In fact, it's pretty rare that you see the Heat running post-up plays for Bosh. Much more of his attempts come from pick-and-roll plays or spot-up jumpers, despite him being the biggest guy on the team.
There's a reason Bosh no longer posts up all that much too; it's to conserve energy for other parts of the game.
Bosh told the media after Saturday's shootaround that he doesn't "bang anymore," because he has to conserve energy and it's not a strength of his.
The only way Heat center Chris Bosh will see himself playing in the post again is by watching old highlight videos.
Bosh made it even clearer Saturday his days of living on the block are gone.
As in R.I.P to his post game.
"I don't bang anybody anymore," Bosh said. "It's a tired thing for me. It's not my strength and I understand that."
It doesn't help Bosh is playing at a heavier weight than when he entered the league in 2003.
"Just playing at an elite level, you play better defenders," Bosh said. "It gets tiring. What they ask us to do, to blitz the screen and roll, every single one, close out and get back. I wasn't this same weight. I was already 20-30 pounds lighter than anybody else. All that stuff just takes my energy."
