    In the playoffs, teams quickly figure out how to make you take the worst shot your offense produces. That's why you see so many power forwards shooting jumpers -- it's not a great shot but it tends to be open. Scola's solid jump shot is a huge part of his game even though he's better in the post.

    For the same reason, Bosh's solid jumper is also a massive part of the Heat's offense. It's never a first option, but if it's not an option at all, the offense collapses.

    In the NBA, not on earth smh. And stats-wise he is the best shooter from midrange this season, this is not about stupid hype or who shoots the most from midrange and in the coolest fashion(Kobe).

    Chalmers took a lot of the slack line Wade left in game 3 and the Heat still lost by 19 points. In game 2, Wade played reasonably well, the Pacers choked liked dogs and still came out on top, in Miami. Even if Wade gets his act together, the Heat's offense will suffer without Bosh because it's so much easier to defend.

    If Wade plays OK, it's advantage Pacers. If Wade is bad, it's a likely blowout for the Pacers.

    Unless the Pacers crumble and choke, the Heat will need a nuclear eruption from LeBron or Wade to win Sunday because the new status quo favors the Pacers. IMO, it isn't that the Pacers are so good, it's that Miami is now playoff fodder.

    Didn't LeBron have all the post moves after learning from Hakeem?
    Well, it's time to show it off now.

    That's right. Wade was shooting 50% against NYK.

    If he's on the pacers nuts than sactown u must be living in lebrons a**. Seriously have u not been watching the games? Miami could be down 0-3 easy they miss bosh in the worst way and without him, even though they have the best player on the court. There team is not as good as the pacers and it's showing big time in all 3 games. The heat r in big trouble even if bron goes for 40 and wade 30 the heat still r gonna have a hard time beating the pacers who play good team ball. With bosh Miami wins a hard series in 6 games, without him I don't even know if they can win even 1 game.

    I'm just checking in to point out that Steve Nash actually shot better from 10-15 feet than Bosh, but didn't take enough shots to qualify for the author's arbitrary 100 FGA cutoff. If you extend it to 10-23 feet, Nash shot 52.7%, vs. 42.3% for Bosh. The more you know... :)
