Spoelstra On Bosh's Low-Post Remarks: 'Minds Were Cluttered' After Loss

[Big Bid'Ness]

Erik Spoelstra all but dismissed statements made by Chris Bosh about wanting more opportunities in the low-post.

"I think our minds were cluttered last night," Spoelstra said. "Today, it wasn't about talk. It was about working and practicing."

"You just notice a trend going on and that was something that was on my heart for a while," said Bosh, who was the last Heat player on the practice court as he worked on post-up moves with teammate Juwan Howard. "I just wanted to be honest."

Bosh went 3-for-11 in Tuesday's loss to Portland, finishing with seven points.

"We need more paint opportunities, not just from Chris," Spoelstra said, "but from all of our guys working together."

LeBron James said Bosh can get more opportunities.

"Chris can always voice his opinion," James said. "If Chris wants the ball then he can ask for it and he can get it. If Chris wants the ball and wants to be more aggressive and wants to be more inserted into the offense, all he has to do is ask for it. When's he's productive, we're a better team."

they're just now realizing this?

he takes too many jumpers

too much standing around with him

i dont know how these guys thought it would all work. i feel like Bosh didnt truly think LeBron was coming to the Heat. remember, Bosh decided on the heat before LeBron's TV special

That's just bullcrap.
Bosh's offensive production is not the problem the Heat are having right now.

And his whole career he's been taking jumpshots, he never was a guy that did work on the block. Dude's just frustrated.

i never thought bosh fit. lebron and bosh would work, wade and bosh would work. all three wont work. they better get it together though or its not gonna be as easy as they/everyone though for the next five years(or however long their contracts are)


the lack of supporting players does hurt them a ton though.

he has, but he does have some sort of an inside game
this season has been almost strictly catch and shoot

That's Dirk's game, a player like Bosh shouldn't have to do that IMO at least

Agreed, I've been questioning that since day one. I hate how much people blame Bosh and saying he sucks, he hasn't had much of a role at all for this team, can't really blame the guy imo.
