    I've been a Bosh fan since his Toronto days. Very happy to have him here.

    Pairing him with Dwight can potentially be nasty on defense... a true twin towers.

    If only we had a real coach....

    It's incredible how well they complement each other on both offense and defense. Dwight is elite at Bosh's one defensive weakness, being a rim protector. On offense Bosh makes you pay hard for doubling Dwight, giving him space to work in the paint.

    It also gives you another star player who can step up when one of Dwight and Harden are out with tiny injuries (rolled ankle, bruised knee etc.).

    It's a good pairing. Bosh offensively clears up the lane for Harden/Parsons drives. Defensively he can slow down an elite forward like Aldridge. Does it make us a one or two seed next year? Hmmmmm!

    We just have to match him after we sign bosh. Bird rights.

    But please go to one of the other topics for that, this is just for talking about Bosh's ability as a basketball player and use to the Rockets.

    We have our guy to match up with LMA. He can guard him and he can make him work hard on defense. Same goes for Blake Griffin, Dirk, etc

    Allows Dwight to roam on defense in the paint...

    Allows Harden to dish and drive on offense

    No more Asik and Howard tandems...more space more freedom...

    If needing post up touches...he will have it too...

    Unselfish and willing passer.

    Houston will be winners with Bosh in this lineup.

    NOW FOR THE MORE PRESSING ISSUE...KEVIN MCHALE...you better not f this up...

    It may actually help our perimeter defense because teams will be more likely to take jump shots with Bosh and Howard on the posts.

    This is so much of an upgrade, you guys don't even know.

    Chris Bosh has been criminally underrated his entire career, due to poor teams/coaching (Toronto) and fit (Miami).

    This is such a perfect fit and couldn't really have worked out better for us.

    Bosh cures so many ills it's not even funny.

    1. One of the worst PF defense in the NBA to one of the best.
    2. One of the worst shooting PF in the NBA to one of the best, if not the best.
    3. One of the least experienced team in the NBA getting 2x Champion and 4x finals appearances
    4. One of the most me-first group to having a star who's willing to share.
    5. Chris Bosh = No Jeremy Lin... okay this one is in jest. Lin is still much better than any backup PG we'll have this season.

    There's absolutely NOTHING I don't like about Bosh's game as it pertains to the Rockets. He was my #3 potential get in the offseason. #1 LeBron was always a pipedream. #2 Love seemed to have required way too much stuff given up from us. He really was the most realistic, perfect player to get.
