what are you talking about? sorry breh, are you a heat fan? You don't sound like you watched any of the games - Bosh ain't really change his game at all, except add in a 3 point shot (which he shot 34% at). And the 3 pointers came at the expense of his > 16 ft jumpers...meaning he realized that if hes going to be shooting 18ft and 20 ft jumpers, he might as well take a few more feet and shoot 3's. Outside of that nothing changed in his game, which is why I said yall reaching! Now if you said the same problem he had last year and year prior then I'd agree, but it wasn't just this year that starting shooting "long ass shots"
Chris Bosh - "I don't like playing in the paint. It takes up too much energy"
- Thread starter madness

1, a put back ain't a touch nor is it a function of the offense
By lookin at their play in the playoffs, the Heats offense has only changed with decline of Wade
My point is; ppl are callin Bosh soft and highlighting interviews without lookin at the whole picture
One, Bosh never banged for the Heat, they never did it, like that. His job was to create space via mid range shots for Lebron to penetrate
But, as Wade became less involved (that 1,2 punch of a transition offense that was always about Wade or Lebron finishing), the O ran more through Lebron...meaning Bosh needed to create more space
Birdman gets no touches and is only in there because they can't play up and down with just Lebron finishing and so they need rim protection and rebounding becuz they forced to play in the half court, more
Whether u agree w me or not--that's cool--my beef is these convos aren't happening
Ppl r fallin back on "Bosh is soft, see he said he didn't want to play in the paint"
Funny, ppl weren't callin Pau soft til either he started gettin injured and/or D'Toni wanted him play 15 ft out
I love post play as much as the other guy, but, I understand its a function of gameplanning, not just screamin for it in the paint
His job was to be the 3rd max salary superstar. This team has a glaring whole on the inside on both ends. He's a PF, he's not willing to address it. Bron had to develop a post game, lead the team in rebounds, guard opposing bigs, and protect the rim within this same gameplan with a superstar PF on the roster. You think this happens with Duncan or Barkley or Malone aka true superstar PFs? You can't blame gameplan or others when you call a guy a superstar.
Gasol was called soft ever since the 08 Finals and it went into overdrive after the 11 playoffs so I'm not sure what your point was there.

Taking my talents to South Beach
so people werent callin him "Pau Gasoft" after he got his lunch eaten by KG, Perkins and Powe in the 08 Finals?
why do nikkas make up these blatant lies?
So, Spo gets a pass? Okay, I can't respond to that.
My point w Pau, he was a beast inside when they won two. He just didn't decide to become uninvolved. It was injuries and gameplanning.
By First Takeso people werent callin him "Pau Gasoft" after he got his lunch eaten by KG, Perkins and Powe in the 08 Finals?
why do nikkas make up these blatant lies?
That narrative nevver got that big, then they won two with Pau the clear #2 guy. Again, was he soft when they were winning? Nope.

That's changing his game genius. No shyt, he's been shooting mostly jumpshots since he came to Miami but more and more he's forcing these stupid ass three pointers. He's better at shooting wide open mid range shots than wide open threes. Did you watch most of the playoffs? He just started settling more and more and more for threes at the expense of the team. I'd rather he stick to the midrange shots and not travel out to the three point line.
For some people just a few feet in the other direction totally changes how consistent they can knock down a shot. Bosh CAN hit threes, but not at the clip of like a Channing Frye used to. It just made the offense more stagnant.
No one is reaching, we're just calling it like we see it. His soft ass is becoming softer.
Spo gets no credit for those two titles so we cant turn around now and talk about a game plan. You got 3 max "superstars" that this team is heavily dependent on. No excuses for glaring holes and dudes not even being willing to try to fill them when these guys take up so much cap.
Pau caught shyt for being soft in 08 aka before the rings. People didnt just start that last year. The Heat would kill for a soft 10 boards a night.

so what if hes shooting better than he was earlier in his career. would you rather have bosh chuck up some shytty open jumper, or would you rather have the ball in james hands, or having allen or chalmers shooting an open 3. thats why its a win for the defense when bosh is throwing up that garbage from the outside. the spurs and pacers respected his outside shot so much they just left him open hoping he would take it

Bosh>Wade at this point in his career, Miami stunned Boshes growth but you nikkas are trying to put losses on bosh? the dude played decent in the play offs, and hes right why bang in the post only to be a decoy?

Exactly nikkas pointing at Bosh like Wade was a factor.... Imo on any other team Bosh is still at worse a a 22ppg player that takes good shots, they pretending like dude takes bad shots he has a high fg% and dude says he chucks shots dude shoots around 11 shots a game you want chucking go watch westbrick..
he's always shot "long ass jumpers" as you so technically put it. All he did was move it back to get the 3 points instead of 2. The rest of the game did not change....he shot the same #of inside shots, year over year, and short game didn't change year over year. His long jumpers did not change year of year, instead of "long ass jumpers" for 2 points , he's getting "long ass jumpers" for 3 points. So, unless you want to play semantics - how did he change his game, because your initial post makes it seem like his inside game is non-existent and that he exchanged to shoot long ass jumpers, which obviously is wrong.
Whether he was at the 3 points line or out at 18-20 feet, it doesn't matter. He wasn't in the post rebounding, getting put backs, or being availabe for dump offs. His offense was waiting for Wade or Lebron to kick it out, so again it doesn't matter. HIs game did not change over the last year. The playoffs weren't Bosh's fault, they asked him to sit out there - he didn't just decide to stay out there. Just so happen Spurs just played great defense all together.
