http://www.nba.com/video/channels/nba_tv/2010/09/27/20100927_mia_analysis.nba/?ls=iref:nbahpt1 Watch that interview. Very interesting, for a good part of the beginning the camera doesn't even focus on Bosh...at one point it was on everyone except for him. They ask him one question in the middle of the interview because he hadn't said a word. Bosh really seems like a little girl who is getting a chance to hang out with the "cool popular girls". He doesn't seem like CHRIS BOSH, he seems like a little 3rd wheel fiddler. P.S. - It's also funny when they ask who gets the defensive assignment, LeBron doesn't hesitate to say its him....Wade looked like he wanted to say something. Oh well. What could have been Bosh...what could have been.
Bosh nows his place. Just shutup and just be open for the jumper and later you can have some fun time with Wade in southbeach.
Bosh's actions after making comments like the one's below has made me lose all respect for him. I guess Bosh defeated the purpose of his dreams. Not only is he not "the man," he's now closer to a role player.
Good interview. It's going to be interesting to watch those three guys defenders sag off on them and Miller's and House's defenders to be up in their grills. And that is exactly what most coaches in this league should do. Make those guys beat you from outside. Make them fire bombs all night long every night. Slow the game down, offensively, pass, pass, pass, and make those guys work their tails off defensively. Then sag off them defensively and force Miller and House to be playmakers.
I doubt very much it will be quite that simple. We'll see. Not directed to jopatmc: Regarding the video, if someone does a "free for all" interview with LeBron, Wade and Bosh, what would you expect? Of course LeBron and Wade are going to do most of the talking. That is who they are: Top 5 franchise players who are outgoing. Nobody has forgotten about Bosh, who had the good sense to realize he wasn't going to have success as the best player on an NBA team. There was a reason he was the most sought-after 2nd fiddle free-agent ever. He fully admitted his role will be less shots, more rebounds because the other two guys are better than he is. What is your problem with that? If there is still resentment he didn't want to come here, just get over it. If Bosh truly cares about winning, he made the right decision. I'd suggest forgiving him for whatever smokescreens he previously put up about wanting to be the centerpiece of a team. He wasn't ready to reveal his motives until after his public decision to join the Heat.
Count me as one of those who forgot about Bosh. I'm certain Bosh will be a better dance partner for LerBon than Mo Williams ever was. That spot is reserved for LerBon.
LeBron looks like an old man. His hairline is mega high and he has a super wrinkled forhead.. Relation to Greg Oden?
Haha, are you f'n kidding me? Teams couldn't "force" Wade and Lebon to take those kinds of shots when they were focusing their entire defensive gameplan on them, only having to worry about second tier teammates like Beasley and Mo Williams. Now they're on the same team together with Bosh and shooters like Miller and House, and suddenly the defensive gameplan is supposed to be that simple? lol
If Bosh averages 17 and 13, I'll be really impressed. As it stands right now, he is only a fringe top 15 player and has a long way to go to prove that he belongs in Wade and LeBron's frame.
I don't understand all the hate he gets. Sure he said he wanted to be the main piece and then ended up signing on a team where he is clearly not the 1st or 2nd option. But if he wants to win a Championship this was a great move.
thats fine, i understand if he wants to do that late in his career..but right now he has so much potential and is so good that he shouldnt be just a role player (albiet with a big role) playing with james n wade. jumping on good teams if you haven't won a ring makes sense late in your career...but at his age its disappointing to see him not wanting to compete and take on responsbility..its a shame that hes a b****.
