Chris Bosh was in Postseason form tonight--and that is what I expect from him against REAL competition. He'll beat up on the pansy teams but this season will expose him for what he is--which is a far drop in tier of player that James/Wade are--so let's quit with the "Big 3" crap--it's the Dynamic Duo and in need of someone who can score on the block.
Loved the Celtics depth--and that is without Perkins/West who will add a lot.
I've joined the darkside and will root for Boston to win the East due to my hatred of clown like Bosh and this Heat love in that everyone is having. I have no issue with Lebron leaving for Miami--but can't stand the Heat and their lack of fanbase and annoying PA guy. Pulled for Zo to get a ring--he did--now hope this thing blows up and exposes Bosh. He had no concept of the level of competition that is expected when facing a tough team--and it wasn't a playoff level--but intensity/juice in building was level that a great player wants to make a mark in the game--and Bosh was more then happy getting interviewed before the game by Craig Sager. Hell--KG even went to the hole and tried to score anytime Bosh was on him-and even in the 4th Quarter!!! ;D

Chris tweeted he wants Rondo stats this yr. Seventeen dimes. Let's hope Chris gets 'em.

Where is this "Heat love-in" that you refer to taking place?
Far as I can tell, everyone seems to want them to lose.
Maybe it's with the talking heads on ESPN. I don't really listen to them, so I wouldn't know. In terms of average basketball fans though, I don't know anyone who is rooting for them (who wasn't a Heat fan already, anyway).

I don't really listen to them, so I wouldn't know. In terms of average basketball fans though, I don't know anyone who is rooting for them (who wasn't a Heat fan already, anyway). Media--especially ESPN loves to talk about the Heat and the "Big 3" and they are 2 great players and then average team--and that is what I detest-clowns like Bosh getting hyped due to their stats and not what they actually are as players. There is a reason he was putting up numbers in Toronto and that team was garbage---he was the guy they built around and if that is case--what does that tell you about him? Bosh has been parading around all Summer--making appearances at NBA Finals to "be seen", cameo on Entourage, etc....and is being treated like he's done something--he's not--he's a total clown and yet it's the "Big 3".....and he talks as if he knows what Lebron/Wade go through as he's on their level as a player--this guy isn't as good as Glen Davis when it comes to playing in a big game and knowing how to win/compete. The Heat replaced Jermaine O'Neal with a younger but softer version of him--and it'll be fun to see him put in his place--which will be as a potential guy to get moved when they find out how gutless he truly is. |

Well, fair enough. I'm not the NBA fan you are, so I don't know a lot about the off the court stuff or what the analysts are saying. I just know that it seems like most NBA fans are looking to Miami for some serious schadenfreude.
As for the media, I don't really pay any attention to any of those NBA Live people on ESPN or most anyone else for that matter, except maybe Charles Barkley.
I blame my distaste on Stuart Scott. As should everyone else.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you the FIERCE competitor Chris Bosh and his main reason for joining the Heat: Chris Bosh was motivated to sign with the Heat for a multitude of reasons, one of which was exposure to a wide audience. “Really, it's all about being on TV at the end of the day,” Bosh said. “Seriously. A guy can average 20 (points) and 10 (rebounds), and nobody really cares. If you don't see it (on U.S. national TV), then it doesn't really happen.” Read more: realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/69810/20101028/bosh_claims_being_on_tv_is_his_bottom_line/#ixzz13fWPtG79 |

I can't believe Dwyane Wade wanted to play with that. Do you think he knew? Or was it the price for enticing LeBron? Or did Bosh just kind of jump in their conversation and they didn't have the heart to de-invite him?
