Chris Bosh - "I don't like playing in the paint. It takes up too much energy"

[nieman]

the defense wins every possession vs the heat when bosh takes some shytty outside jumper. the defense loses every possession when dirk is hoisting jumpers. defenses welcome a jumper from bosh, as opposed to the other options when trying to defend the heat. defenses would get fukking torched if they gave dirk the space to shoot that they gave bosh. hilarious that bosh says he stays outside because playing down low isnt his strength. when defenses would rather you be on the outside shooting, thats not your strength either

You can't believe this. He's shooting better now than he has in his whole career, and considering that he's nothing but an outside jumoshooter, I think teams respect it. He probably also took more 3s this year than he have in his other 10 seasons combined. As for his game,. considering there are like 5 post players in the league period, Bosh is fine; they just don't utilize him right. Aldridge and Old-Bosh have similar games, but Aldriidge isn't as good as bosh.

Now if he get's traded, what will happen?

 

[FTBS]

I can't defend him on defense. But, the offense dictates that he is not in the paint, to create space for those top of the key Lebron isos where he drives or drives and kicks

Thanks. We can't act like his admitted bytchassness has nothing to do with the offense either. You think you'd see Duncan or Malone or Shaq or any other superstar, top 5, max, too good to play with big chilling out at the 3 pt line? We don't even see Udonis or Birdman doing that.

 

[FTBS]

Stop acting like Bosh is garbage. Bosh is a superstar that was vital to 4 consecutive finals appearances and two championships. What other "top 5" pf is doing that?

Oh so when our point gets thoroughly refuted we change it and resort to strawmen huh?

Dirk low post skills>>>>Bosh career

Yeah because Dirk's one championship is better than Bosh's two right? Bosh's career>>>>Dirk's

Oh so when our point gets thoroughly refuted we change it and resort to strawmen huh?

I'm just saying they wouldn't have gotten to the finals 4 consecutive times and won 2 championships if Bosh wasn't doing his part correctly.

because he's playing with the games 2 elite drivers and doesn't get the ball anywhere down low? Only chance of him being in the offense is screening, offensive rebounding, or spotting up on the wing hoping for a kick out.


yall reaching too hard.

Nah, you don't get it. They could run sets for him so he can the ball and faceup which is what he made a career out of doing. And it's one thing to spot up but it's another spot up in places where his dumb ass really isn't effective. His game has become "well I can hit that shot sometimes" instead of "let me go to my sweet spots". He's settling for long ass shots for no reason. Look at where he was shooting last season and the season before. He was keeping his shots within the paint and midrange.

Now, he's shooting from the corners and the top of key. Yeah, he makes them sometimes but he's better off at the midrange area if he's going to shoot. His midrange shooting game was lights out.

Bosh missed most of the EC playoffs in 12 and was completely useless in 13 against Indy. I am not gonna act like he hasn't played his part but to act is if any of this success is somehow a testament to him and his "top 5 hood" is straight revisionism. And still none of that changes the fact that he's supposed to be a superstar in his prime while none of the guys you listed are currently at that status. Superstar PFs in their prime don't give you 5 reb per game in the Finals and if they did it wouldn't be attributed to a teammate making the same salary.

The outcome is more important than stats. He had zero points in game 7 of the finals in 2013. Bosh is in his late prime. The way he plays preserves his body to transition into his mid 30's well. Can't complain when the Heat is in contention every year.

None of that is any excuse for him getting his manhood taken by Roy fukkin Hibbert. The Heat came together to win championships not to just contend. You can put any random PF out there for a fraction of the salary (and bolster the rest of the roster) and they could still contend every year and actually probably be better. The point is he isn't just some jump shooting PF. He's a spot up 3pt shooting, no rebound grabbing, no interior presence providing supposed superstar in his prime who acknowledges he wants to play like that and he has nikkas jumping through hoops to cop pleas for him because they would rather shyt on Bron.

Jump shooting pfs aren't new and exist for a reason. They are actually valued. Bosh knows more about what's beneficial for his team than you do sooooooo...yeah. I'm going to trust that Bosh knows what he is doing. This lost in the finals doesn't make me forget about the past two wins.

This level of denseness has to be intentional. You got me. Well done.

Birdman get no touches and UD gets no PT.

If you a big that can't shoot u have no space in Spos offense.

UD played and even started in Spo's offense for years until recently. Birdman is not brought in to be an offensive option and he still gets his fair share of touches around the basket. They manage to run the offense and Bron and Wade manage to drive when those guys are in "taking up all the space". If Bosh had proven himself to be a willing interior force there is no way they would have him out there looking like Steve Kerr. I have said for a while he should be the 2nd option and more of the offense should run through him but if he's 6'11 talking about he doesn't have the energy to bang inside is that really a worthwhile strategy? People forget the Heat's offense was pretty conventional until Bosh got hurt in 2012. The small ball shyt was a matter of necessity and they have rode with it ever since. Bosh didn't start shooting 3s like that until this year and he's been in the offense for 4 years.
