Bosh has never been a "force" on the inside. He's always been just an oversized SF. There's a reason why they brought in JO in Toronto and they always wanted to bring in tougher guys in the interior because Bosh in not that type of guy. He's softer than Gasol. Softer than Gasol. You guys want to call Gasol soft, Bosh is softer than he is. Softer than 2008 Gasol who got smacked up by Boston.

Team game guys, team game. The Big Two + Chris Bosh a championship team does not make.

Wait, it's still early in the season. They just need to mesh and gel. Yeah okay. When they were beating up on other teams they were monsters defensively, but when they're facing quality teams and lose it's just that "they just need more time to gel". It's like saying that Cavs had the best team in the league when they were winning and had the best record, but in the playoffs the talk switched to "the just don't have a good enough team around Lebron". I love how the talks keep on switching up every time they win or lose.

I don't think Bosh has ever really been "on" for them yet.

Kobe youngest player to reach 26k points. Nice achievement there.

Well you have to wonder when that's going to happen, and if it will happen consistently. As it looks like now, neither Wade or James looks like they want to give up too many shots. Which takes away from Bosh, and even more gets taken away from Bosh when you're trying to force other players into the game and get them their shots.

Boston's groups, they just want to win. They're sacrificing and giving up. The Lakers, Gasol, Artest who's a former marquee guy and #1 option is giving up shots, Kobe has been sacrificing more shots to pass to wide open guys than he's been before.

The biggest problem with Miami so far is the egos we've been talking about before. James and Wade still look like they want to be "the guys". If one of them is being the guy and the other takes a secondary role than no problem, but when you have two guys that just want to dominate every time they have the ball, that really really hurts the team.

Who knows, maybe all of that will be put in check and they'll figure it out as the season goes on, but right now it's just one thing on their list of problems.

This new technical rule is straight up stupid. Even I don't agree with that call on Carmelo. I haven't agreed with a lot of those calls this season. Mostly because there's a lot of star treatment going on. Even as a Lakers fan I find it funny that Kobe yells everywhere and still gives scowls yet has only gotten called on it like once so far. Other guys all they do is throw their hands up or just give a little look and BAM! Technical. Saw stuff like that in the Mia/Boston game too.

If you're going to enforce this rule, at least be consistent with it... or just get rid of it.

I don't see what's wrong with throwing your hands up in the first place. It's emotion lol. It's hard to keep those types of things in.

Damn that Rondo dunk on Bosh was nice. Bosh needs to toughen up.

I never knew Rondo can even dunk. I still haven't got to watch a full game. Can't wait to get my TV in my room.

Carmelo is on fire. Surprised Nuggets came back and took the lead.

This one's for Mexi.

See what happens when you keep babbling about 18-0? How were you not worried about Denver IN Denver? I know I was. SMH @ Mexi.

They had to lose sometime. Nice win Nuggets. Now, all the focus turns to the Hornets.

Dear Nuggets, trade Carmelo

who the hell is that Panamanian dude? I already forgot his damn name SMH
whatever. Phoenix on Sunday, automatic W lol


as for the Heat, im sorry, this is unacceptable
i know people were giving them some rope before the season saying it may take time, but damn.
nobody expected 5-4.
2 game vs Boston, 96 minutes, Heat have only lead for 2 minutes. wow

Chris Bosh gets on my nerves. obviously im not a Heat fan, but dude just stands there

In all fairness, losing in Denver isn't such a horrible defeat.

And Chris Bosh sucks... I've been saying it all along, his stats were a product of a horrible team. On a decent team, he'd put up 19-9. On the Heat, he'll finish with 15-7. He is a horrible defender to the point that anybody over 6'7" that plays even a little bit inside will have his way with Bosh.
