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

[Dr. Narcisse]

I blame Spoelstra

If Tony Parker is on you, you need to post him up.

Just like I blamed Spoelstra for LeBron's fukk ups in 2011 against the Mavs.

You're the coach. Tell his ass to shoot the damn ball.

 

[King Jove]

that's why it kills me when people say bosh "sacrificed". the only thing he sacrificed was first round exits.

 

[FTBS]

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

Bron drives and dishes to everybody (except of course every other big he's played with aside from Bosh) for 3. What's your point? Dude straight up said he doesn't wanna bang and the way he plays made that very apparent before he said a word and you still tryna put it on Bron and I need to "stop the fallacies"?

@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

How can you pull a quote from the first year they came together when they clearly weren't firing on all cylinders?

We're in 2014, join us, will you.

this is what bosh needs.

unfortunately that meek fakkit coach would never do this. we all saw what happened the last time he tried to check one of his players.

 

[RugbyCardigan]

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.

Stop crying. Bosh said he doesn't want to be in the post.

 

[RugbyCardigan]

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?

It was the Chicago series I believe where it started. But these nikkas still in here trying to blame Bron for Bosh being afraid to attack the paint.

 

[RugbyCardigan]

shyt is hilarious

Nah, what's even more funny is how the guy in your avi takes a backseat to Young Sabo.

 

[J-Fire]

All I know is when Gasol tried that ish......Kobe told him to get his ass in the post and phil punched him in the chest.

Lebron ain't told bosh to get in the post...ain't he the King and best player? Kobe would have made bosh play in the post plus taught him some moves.

I love Bosh's line about "It's not my strength and I understand that" like he is dealing some sort of jump shooting illness.

Big men shooting jumpers is a disease, imposing your will on dudes like Bosh and breaking them in the paint is how games are won

 

[RugbyCardigan]

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

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.

I think he see's where there conversation has been going, so he's stepping up and taking responsibility for his own failures while at the same appeasing Bron, letting him know that it's not all on him.

With Miami, he's allowed to be lazy and coast (just like Wade). If he won't take it upon himself and play with heart and play where he's been the most effective, and the coach + the team leader won't demand it, he'll continue to do what he does now to the team's detriment. He's got his rings, the money, but if Bron went to him and told him what he needed, Bosh seems like the type to fall in line. They still seem like that 2011 team with unclear leadership, afraid to step on each-others toes

 

[BlvdBrawler]

They should have pursued LMA instead of Bosh.

Unless you're Dirk. I don't want my big man who's game consist of contested 2's and 3's.

You know LMA is a jump shooting 4 too right?
