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

[Easy-E]

@madness

How you a Heat fan and playin dumb, like Bosh wasn't complaining about not gettin paint touches the first couple years in Miami? Face it, he's been marginalized by Spo's Lebron centric offense.

This is from Mar 2011:

"It is common sense, we can talk about it, but I think it's evident," Bosh said. "I just have to get it where I'm effective. I'm a big man. I can shoot the ball but I'm a big man. So I have to get it where big guys get it. Then I feel I can start helping out this team more." per ESPN

Sounds liek he's as confused about his game like he is about his masculinity. Dudnt really know what to think.

you bringing up something he said 3 years ago....this thread is based off a bosh quote from last month

after riding lebron's coattails to 2 rings, getting married, having kids and enjoying miami life, the man is obviously content with where he is in life and has no desire to ever be a main option or do dirty work ever again.

not only that, he can hide in the shadows when shyt hits the fan. the heat just got they ass beat in the Finals and which player is taking the brunt of the blame? hint: it's not bosh

You have a 6'11 player saying he doesn't have enough energy to play in the paint and you're putting this on Heat fans? As someone who has said that it's Bron's fault that Bosh has been relegated to standing behind the 3 point line, a lot of us might just have to admit we were wrong

Its more on coaching than on Bosh's preferences

first it's lebron's fault, now it's on spo

bosh is the only "superstar" in the league who gets a pass for his disappearing acts. dude was ghost half of the pacers series and most of the Finals and he gets a pass. nikkas who don't like lebron/wade come up with every excuse in the book to save his ass. the dude admitted he's terrified to bang in the paint and yall still making excuses for him

Im not making excuses and both Spo & Bosh have spoken on this in the past

When did I blame Bron?

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

How does this change the fact that:

A. Bosh is better closer to the basket
B. Lebron's the primary ball handler and his game doesn't benefit bigs

If he didn't want to play in the paint or closer to the basket (which I think he's lying about), then he essentially got the freedom he wanted and didn't delivery. If that's not effective, it's up to the coach and the team leaders to make adjustments and figure out a way to make him more of a factor. Do you really think if Lebron, Wade or Spo told Bosh, "Hey, we need you to take advantage and get in the paint" that Chris Bosh would've refused ..........Then again, Bosh is the highest paid player of the Big 3, so maybe he controls the ball on the floor

Naw it's all the Lebron's fault. Look forward to seeing how the cats who have been pushing all this "he's gotta shoot 3s to create space for Lebron" bullshyt spin this one. Dude came out and said he's not about that life. This is a max, franchise, superstar PF ladies and gentlemen. The worst part is him mentioning the bltizing of every pick and roll. Has it occurred to him that the team wouldn't have to be so aggressive if either he functioned as more of an interior force or wasn't taking up $20 mil in cap space and allowed them to sign a real big? Dude can't be opting in saying shyt like that.

really? we are gonna pretend LeBron has NOTHING to do with Bosh on the wing. thats dishonest as fukk but OK. the funny part is, Bosh' touches have decreased over the years but his FG% has increased. Doesnt matter if he shooting jumpers or in the post, he not seeing the ball enough. He's not even allowed to work in the midrange, which I thought he was great at. He literally has to sit on the wing or top of the key while Bron or Wade slash to the rim and kick it out to him. Thats why the vast majority of his points are assisted. you dont have to 'bang' in the post to be a good pf. he just need better offensive opportunities.
