The Miami Heat are off to a 6-5 start this season. At 19.9 ppg, Chris Bosh is slightly ahead of Dwyane Wade’s 19.8 ppg to lead the team in scoring. Bosh is also grabbing 8.7 rpg. He’s shooting just 41.5% from the field, though. With LeBron James gone, and Dwyane Wade past his prime, it’s an adjustment for Bosh to lead as he once did with the Toronto Raptors. Here’s the South Florida Sun Sentinel reporting:

Now Chris Bosh can relate to Dwyane Wade.
For years, Wade has talked about having to adjust to playing at an older age. Wade would say he no longer jumps as high. He’s not as fast anymore. Playing smarter below the rim is more important than rising above it.
At 30, Bosh finally understands. It has hit home even more this season with him being asked to carry a bigger offensive load.
And he’s noticed the difference.
“I’m a little bit older,” Bosh said. “I have to adjust my game. They’re putting younger and bigger guys on me.”
