Naw it's all the Lebron's fault. :laff: 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. :sas2: Dude came out and said he's not about that life. :dead: This is a max, franchise, superstar PF ladies and gentlemen. :snoop: 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.

@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

Its more on coaching than on Bosh's preferences

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 :comeon:..........Then again, Bosh is the highest paid player of the Big 3, so maybe he controls the ball on the floor :troll:

:ohhh: So this is the tactic...just ignore/disregard what this dude said out of his own mouth to continue putting the blame elsewhere? :laff:

Even if you wanna say Bron and the offense are responsible (Funny how you don't see UD or Birdman or any of the other bigs Bron has played with shooting 3s. Still haven't gotten an explanation for this.) what's the explanation for Bosh giving them nothing on the boards and in terms of interior defense aka the teams most glaring weaknesses? Bron and Spo tellin him not to grab boards or put up a fight against physical post players too? :mjlol:

speaking of birdman...remember when he went on that ridiculous streak where he made like 37 out of 43 field goals? most of them shyts were off dunks and layups from bron and wade driving. you mean to tell me chris fukking anderson is able to get his ass in the paint and finish around the rim like a big man is supposed to but chris bosh can't?:dead:

what big man has Lebron played with in his career for you to determine this?:patrice:

*waits to hear washed-up :shaq: and soft ass bosh mentioned*

What type of big can play and be effective when Lebron's game is predicated on spacing, driving and dishing? :stopitslime:

And my example is Bosh. His floor presence and style of play has gradually regressed playing with Lebron :win:

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.

Bosh attempted more 3s this year this year than he did in his first 3 years with Bron combined...but yeah it's Bron's fault. :heh: We never saw Boozer or Shaq or Varjeo or Big Z or UD or Birdman hanging out on the wing and Bosh admits he doesn't wanna bang...but yeah it's Bron's fault. :heh: Bosh doesn't play the wing on defense and gives them nothing in terms of rebounds or interior D...but yeah it's Bron's fault. :heh: Stop it. Dudes are really blatantly ignoring Bosh's own words because it shyts all over their fantasy narrative. :laff:

Nothing absolves him from not being aggressive, the point is that they totally ignored ("they" is including Bosh himself) what was needed for them to be more effective; Bosh in the paint vs. Bosh stretched out shooting 3's. Bron is supposed to be a floor general, right :sas1:? So put your personnel where they can be most effective . Bosh didn't do that because he wants to conserve energy :smh:, Spo didn't do it because he's a horrible coach and Bron didn't do it because it woudln't benefit his own style.......do we even need to mention Wade :usure:

Maybe if they spent less time yelling and emasculating Chalmers than directing that energy at Bosh to get in the paint, he would've gotten his ass in the paint and did what was needed:mjpls:

yea cause they have the shooting touch Bosh does. cmon bruh. stop the fallacies and be real. How many times have we seen LeBron drive and dish it to Bosh for the 3? Its happens a laughable amount of times and for you to sit here and act like a Bron is just a victim of Bosh's decision to camp out around the 3 is even more laughable. thats obviously a gameplan Bron, Bosh and the rest of the team agree with

"I don't like playing in the paint. It takes up too much energy":troll:

It's probably partly true, but he seems like a smart dude and he doesn't want Lebron to be solely attacked as not being a good leader. He's a diplomatic type of bytch like that. He can't honestly think he's better now as an outside shooter then he was closer to the basket. He'd rather call himself lazy than to have Bronze feel picked on and ran out of town :troll:

Bosh is supposed to be a superstar PF right? Point blank he's not playing like one on either end and his statements make it pretty clear why.
