I guess Bosh is taking Boozers comments to heart lol

 

[DJT]

C'mon Deng...get those shots off.

 

[RipCity32]

Soft or not, anyone who says Bosh isn't a great player is ignorant as fuck.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Miami will win this series in 5 and they will win every other game by no less than 12 points. Thibs is a fucking idiot. Dude has no idea how to make adjustments.

<--- Doesn't consider Bosh great. Sure you can say he is having an amazing night, I still don't think he's a Top 10 PF in this league though. Keep in mind Boozer is a below-average defensive player.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

So far this series is playing out exactly like I thought it would. Bulls win Game 1, Miami wins next 4. Ask DC if you don't believe me.

 

[DJT]

Boozer seems to be doing well.

 

[DJT]

Bosh is good, not great.

That's what I was about to say. LeBron and Wade are great. Bosh is just very good.

And on what logic can you not consider Bosh a top 10 PF right now? lol

Those definitely better than him:

1) Dirk Nowitzki
2) Amare Stoudemire
3) Pau Gasol

Those most people would agree is better than him:

4) Zach Randolph
5) LaMarcus Aldridge
6) Blake Griffin

Those who are debateably better than him:

7) Kevin Love
8) Josh Smith
9) David West
10) Carlos Boozer

 

[Lake Louise]

Haha right off of Taj's noggin.

I'd take Bosh over anyone listed below 5.
Just cause his numbers went down and he is now on the most highly criticized team in the NBA, doesn't mean he lost his game.
You ask where he ranked last year in Toronto, or previous years, dudes would say top 5 easily. And you can't even deny that.

Yeah, but his stats to me now have an asterisk. Bargnani threw up 20 a game in Toronto lol. Kind of devalued Bosh to me. Plus he's been exposed this year. He's finally on a good team and he's been shown to be soft, etc. I know he's playing well right now, but don't live in the moment. Are you one of those who thought Dirk was the best player in the league after game 1?

 

[Hurricane Season]

Boozer is grade-A horse shit. You can check the box score and assume that he had a good night, but how many fucking point black shots did the guy miss? His defense is hilarious, and he's soft as fuck. Gibson needs to see about 30 minutes, and I guarantee this team would play better.

Lol, no you can check that thread. LeBron is undoubtedly the best player in this league.
Also though, you can take that argument and apply it to a few of those guys you listed, soft or not. You put Griffin, West, Randolph, Love, etc on the Heat, their numbers go down significantly, as does pretty much all of them.
Also, Dirk is soft as shit, but he is still the best PF in the league. These days, lots of PFs are soft, just the way the NBA is changing.

dear heat, please beat dallas. thanks.

Well, let me rephrase that-- I believe that the categorization is accurate as far as people's opinions around the league are concerned. Whether I would personally rank a player over another in that order is another story...

 

[RipCity32]

That'll be a hell of a good series.
