First of all, I never said trade Bosh. I said they should keep Bosh. If Bosh was the second option he would get more touches and play with more energy, which would equal more rebounding. He isn't into the games so he isn't as effective.Originally Posted by JPZx
Great so they trade Dwyane Wade, get rid of the underachieving Chris Bosh and now we've got the 2005-2010 Cavaliers! Fantastic.
I don't believe some of the stuff I read on here sometimes man. The Miami Heat are 5-3. They have a winning record... and not only that, they're eight freaking games in, yet most of you are harping, "They should deal Bosh!", "I knew Bosh wouldn't work out!", and even "Ryan Hollins > Chris Bosh". I mean, really? On the day that common sense was being handed out where were y'all? The Heat have a lot of time to figure this out. 82 games, in fact.
Kobe Bryant had an interesting quote a couple of days ago. He was asked "How are the players and coaches feeling about the 7-0 start your Lakers have achieved?" His response? "We don't care. We play for June." It's really that simple. Think about how many teams have won 50+ regular season games to be knocked out in round one of the post-season? In the NBA, each team has a goal they have to achieve during the regular season that will lead to post-season success. The Heat's difficult goal is to mesh and gel, get everyone on the same page and get the train going before the real games begin in April.
You guys preach about how much you despise ESPN... yet, you're overreacting just as much as they are in terms of Miami's "struggles".
Give them time. We're eight freaking games in. The saying goes "patience is a virtue".... I mean damn, that's dead-on.
Secondly I am not just saying Lebron and Wade cannot co-exist after seeing their first 8 games, I was saying that the second after "the decision" was made for them to play together. Lebron and Wade do the EXACT same things on the court. If Chris Paul and Steve Nash played on the the same team at the same time, would they be able to get the most out of their talents? No. Same thing applies to Lebron and Wade. Neither area nearly as effective off of the ball as they are with it.
As mentioned before, the Big 3 in Boston worked because their games complimented each others. I believe it was Kenny Smith who said "you don't build chemistry, you either have it or you don't." Through the first eight games of the Boston Big 3's first season together they were 8-0. They started off 20-2, ended up 66-16, AND won the title their first year together. Why? Because they were great players who's strengths complimented each other. Now the Miami's "Big 2" strengths just DO NOT compliment each other.
