    So how does Miami utilise Bosh properly? He's not the cornerstone franchise player everyone once thought he was.

    He is a basically a spotup shooter at this point. Which is getting paid way too much if that is all he is going to be.

    But isnt that what an ideal PF/C playing next to Lebron should be? Someone who can space the floor for Tha Kang's arrays into the paint?

    He used to be money on those mid range jumpers, now whenever he takes it, I'm always unsure if that's gonna go in. Really sad to see him so underutilised.

    Yep, he's not even money on those any more it seems. Haven't seen a shot chart to confirm this...and that's all he seems to be good for now.

    that scrub pulled down 6 rebs as miami's lone big man tonight. u almost feel sorry that her feminine psyche is stuck in a man's body and has to bang down low with the big boys night after night instead of getting to shop at macy's and gossip with the girlfriends about bieber at the nail salon instead

    I think its time for Miamis big three to break up. We'll take LeBron for free.

    He's not making them nearly enough. Let's just throwout the offense.

    We can also talk about him getting paid big bucks to not rebound the ball now.

    bosh being a jumpshooter has little to do with his lack of rebounding and defense.

    LeBron just gets into these funks that I can't explain. The Spurs give him so much room and cover all the passing lanes. The right basketball play there would be to hit the midrange shot, right? Take what the defense gives you. I'm not sure how efficient a shot it is even if it is wide open, but it beats a contested corner 3 or ANY shot launched by Shane Battier.

    Perhaps he gets into these funks because he isn't a score-first player, so it isn't natural for him to switch gears and try to score. Jordan would rip these guys apart if they gave him that space. Probably Kobe, too. LeBron just isn't wired that way, I guess. Hope he figures it out because it's frustrating to watch him struggle just because of a gimmicky pack the paint defense.

    So wait the series is all of a sudden dependant on Bosh's rebounding and defense? Its always been this sedentary including their title run and during their 27 winning streak and even in these playoffs

    i think manu can only play well when he is attacking the rim, coz his 3 point shoots are terrible so far. He needs to attack and dish or score, he can force some, he still have a decente first step and so many tricks...

    you have to be though. Thats what Allen was doing most of the time. He got blocked on that layup and took that 3 at the end because nobody would guard him. Lebron needs to be fearless like that. He is easier to root for than guys like Kobe because I do believe Lebron is genuinely a nice guy and deserves the rings because he carries the team during the reg season...but he can't break down like this.

    he's only at 1.6 blocks per game this series, not to mention getting owned by duncan the past couple of games.

    Now that you mentioned it, Duncan's been spinning this guy off left and right on the down low.

    Wonder what Miami would shop Bosh for... Hell, I'm even hesitant to even give Asik for him just from watching the playoff performances alone.

    So it's cool for Bosh not to rebound now?

    Hey blame Lebron for that.

    No Im just saying Bosh's rebounding/Defense wasn't a huge factor during their successful times cant ask for it now when it never has been a been factor for these months

    It is a huge factor.

    I can see if Bosh was getting paid the minimum or something but the guy is making a lot of money. Why can't people hold him accountable?
