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.
Yes he was breh. We stayed calling Pau soft even when he at his best making people look foolish. PJax did it consistently. He's still soft, that's just how he plays. Still a great player.

and i recall lebron scoring 16 points in that 4th quarter when none of his teammates could buy a bucket just to keep the game close enough to even get to that point

and i also recall lebron dropping 35 points in the next game 7...do you happen to remember how many points bosh scored in that one?:troll:

brother i aint dying that Lebron did his part as the leader and superstar of the team. I'm saying there isn't two rings without Bosh. Jammes went to Miami for a reason and that's because his supporting cast wasnt good enough in Cleveland. Clearly it's good enough in Miami because they're getting to the finals every damn year, something James only did once prior and got his ass swept. Yall can hate Bosh as much as you want but there's no denying he's helped that team win titles by playing out of position on both offense and defense. If he's not worth keeping who is? Melo? Is melo going to guard those centers for the Heat? Is Pau going to suddenly regain his defensive ability and stop people from dominating the paint? The Heat aren't suddenly going to find a guy way better than Bosh at doing what Bosh does and there aren't exactly star centers lining up to take a pay cut and play for the Heat.

It's easy to point out problems on any team or for any player but it isn't as easy finding solutions to those problems or people to replace those players. Bosh is better than anything they could get on the market and that includes Melo because Melo isn't going to stop shyt in the paint/rim area.

The Heat are a top heavy team. With the money they are paying Bosh they can pick up a couple shooters and a couple interior bangers. You replace Bosh with that and they still win the titles they won and give the Spurs a better run. Dude hasn't done anything that is irreplaceable, especially for a max salary.

Name these shooters and bangers. enough of this made up shyt where you can get whatever you want with some cap. NAME SOME NAMES that would go there for a cheap salary and actually be good. Again, the NBA isn't exactly loaded with players that are great bangers in the paint, great interior defenders, etc. It would be eeasy to get some more shooters, but replacing what Bosh does in the paint isn't as easily done as signing some bum in free agency.


Not to mention Bosh actually has value and tons of it while Wade is an old man limping. Why they'd ever consider replacing Bosh before Wade is beyond me.

:what: Bosh doesn't do shyt in the paint because he admittedly isn't built for it. That's what the whole thread is about. :heh:

For what they paid Bosh last year, 19 mil, they could have had Robin Lopez (5.9 mil), Mike Miller (6 mil), Belinelli (2.7 mil), and Reggie Evans (1.6 mil) with a couple mil left over.

I agree about Wade however he has equity built up based on the ring he led them to in 06. I think said equity is overstated and overblown but it exists nonetheless. Not to mention there is no Bron in MIA without him. Bosh is a nikka that tagged along. :heh:

Say what you want about Bosh, but dude got that rebound and made that pass that put Jesus Shuttlesworth in the books a year ago. He will be back but him and Wade are gonna have to share the scraps.

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


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.


lock out season doesn't count :childplease:

Everyone played the same amount of games throughout the season. Every team had an equal opportunity and the Heat won.

It's not true holmes. Some teams are better at pacing themselves through the season. With such a shortened season this skill is not even capable; therefore, altering the season tremendously.

EA Sports needs to recalibrate the Chris Bosh settings when he's in the paint for 2K15. :lolbron:
