[Tenchi Ryu]

Completely expected. Its not really a case of allowing him to rest cause they can't afford it anymore. Its apparent that he is pretty much needed now. The Spacing, Rebounding and source of points has really been an issue, and if not careful, Miami could let this slip away.

If he says he can play, let him play. We're at the point now where you just suck up the pain to get the ring.

[TheStarting5ive]

He needs to stay out. If they lose, he will become the scapegoat.

This is nothing more than a sign of desperation from the Heat camp. They have no real answer for KG, which is only further exposing the fact they have no real bigs on the Heat. Bosh ahs declined to comments to his condition, leading me to believe that he's really not 100. And if he's not, he'll end up being more of a liability on the court, than an asset. The Heat are definitely in panic mode now, that's for sure.

uh no. Bosh will be ready to play on Tuesday cause he is ready to play.

That's all.

[Meticode]

Wonder if this will help or hurt them since he's not playing several games. I guess we'll see.

[TylerOO]

****ing awesome

[kidachi]

He should definitely play.. Heat look like midgets out there..

[Haymaker]

Bosh will play like crap.

[LakersReign]

uh no. Bosh will be ready to play on Tuesday cause he is ready to play.

That's all.

Sure:rolleyes:

So....I guess when he refused to answer as to how he's really doing, it's just a mind game he's playing to fool Boston into believing he's not 100%....right?:sleeping

good news. hopefully he is healthy enough.

[tazb]

[bdreason]

Doesn't KG typically own Bosh?

[TylerOO]

Doesn't KG typically own Bosh?
Does that matter? The heat will be better with him without a doubt

[Hittin_Shots]

uh no. Bosh will be ready to play on Tuesday cause he is ready to play.

That's all.

You livin pay check to pay check now you lost all your savings?

[Micku]

I wonder will he be the same? I wonder if they are going to start him or he'll come off the bench? It'll probably take a while for him to get back to his normal numbers. He may hurt the team or he can somehow have a great game.

[LiLharvard]

Don't count on it making a difference anyway:lol

[Real Men Wear Green]

We'll now see if the Cs are a match for a real contender. Definitely makes it tougher but also more meaningful.

[Nash]

With Bosh back, the double teaming of Wade will cost them.

[blacknapalm]

the heat are better with him but we'll just have to see if he's really close to 100%. i also won't believe it until he's in his jersey warming up for the game.

rust is also a factor but bosh can't really hurt them too much anyway. at the very least, he's going to bother KG a bit more, get some boards and be another guy who can set nice screens and make passes inside. miami uses him a lot by flashing him in the high post or having him set a pin down screen to get lebron or wade deep post position. he's really a part of their initial offense in more than half their plays

[coin24]

Cant hurt... Would have been handy to have Bosh to take the clutch 3 today, he seems to make them when the pressure is on:rockon:

Not sure why he gets so much hate on here:confusedshrug:



Maybe Miami should start games ready to play for a change, instead of playing half assed and trying to catch up. Practising free throws wouldnt hurt either:facepalm

[Soundwave]

Once Miami went up 2-0, I knew this was basically their plan -- they would try to get one of the games in Boston, if not, buy Bosh an extra 3-4 days of rest and come back for the game in Miami (game 5).

It's been about a full 3 weeks too ... he should be good to go, just will take a little while to get his timing back, but if he can grab a few boards and hit a few Js, it will help the Heat a lot.

Losing games in the Conference Finals is not a "plan." They played hard, no way were they giving those 2 games away.

Bosh = highly ineffective against the Celtics during the regular season, and now coming into the playoffs injured. Very intelligent.

[unknowns8]

According to multiple sources, the Heat are hoping to activate Chris Bosh for Tuesday's Game 5 if he doesn't suffer a setback in workouts over the next two days.


riiiiiight... anonymous sources with an 'if' disclaimer... :rolleyes:

[Nelson14]

i sure hope he isn't 100% and isn't effective

[unknowns8]

:roll: :lol :lol :oldlol: :oldlol: :roll: :lol :roll: :banana:

[iDunk]

Bosh coming back is either a good or a bad thing for the Heat.

Either he plays like he used to

OR

He messes the "offense" of the Heat up cause they got used to Bosh being absent & let's get real he's not an improvement defensively.

[JellyBean]

He needs to stay out. If they lose, he will become the scapegoat.

My thinking exactly. He comes back and the Heat lose, Bosh becomes the scapegoat.

[NBAller]

Celtics are ****ed.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Bosh coming back is either a good or a bad thing for the Heat
A penetrating glimpse into the obvious.:bowdown:

[albas89]

People are underestimating the impact Bosh can have. These are the same people who were saying Al Horford couldn't help the Hawks and the guy almost turned the series around. If healthy, Bosh will be huge for Miami.

[Blue&Orange]

Great, Bosh now thinks he is the most important piece in the Heat, and he is going to try to take over and i bet it will be fun to watch.

[Sarcastic]

Remember when the Magic brought back Jameer Nelson in the Finals when they were playing great without him?

[Real Men Wear Green]

Remember when the Magic brought back Jameer Nelson in the Finals when they were playing great without him?
Miami isn't playing great, just James with Chalmers and Haslem having moments.

[Punpun]

Bosh won't change anything. It's on the King to carry the Heat. And the jester to destroy Rondo's arm again.

[AMISTILLILL]

A penetrating glimpse into the obvious.:bowdown:

:oldlol:

[swi7ch]

I hope the Heat lose. I want them to lose so they'll make big changes like firing Spo or trading one of their players. Please lose!!!

[boxclever]

A penetrating glimpse into the obvious.:bowdown:
bodied the **** out of me:oldlol:

[KobeGOAT24]

i want bosh to sit on my face. :D

[StateOfMind12]

I think they'll lose defense with Bosh in but will be much better on offense and on the boards depending on how he plays. Bosh is the worst big man defender of the bigs in the rotation which could raise KG's offensive production/game.

[Cangri]

I wonder if Spo will bench him if he goes something like 1 of 15 shots...nah he won't bench him.

[pauk]

All Bosh needs to do is stand next to Garnett and stand under the rim, nothing else.... that will do the deal... Garnett has been getting lob passes all series long in the post/paint because some 6'8" guys are defending him or he might got a switch and had Chalmers or Wade or Battier on him and Celtics have been outrebounding the Heat for same reason aswell.........

Offense is not a problem, Defense is the problem... they cant get stops, they cant control the defensive rebounds, Heat are terribly undersized, they just need ANY long guy just standing under / around the rim with out stretched arms...

[All Net]

Let's see what he will be able to do...

[Indian guy]

Even if he's rusty as hell and can't hit a shot offensively, he should still be a major defensive & rebounding upgrade over Joel and Turiaf. That's where Miami's losing games.

[TheMan]

If he's not 100% healthy, he'll probably get hurt again. If I'm Boston, I'll be elbowing his mid section every time he goes for a rebound:lol

[cteach111]

I think the Celts are officially finished now that Bosh is back... I think he'll have a big game on Tuesday.

I'm expecting an inspired performance... it will be known as the "Strained-Abs Game"...

[dbugz]

Less 5-10 FGA for Wade and Bron? Meaning less points, I'll take that. :pimp:

[(e)]

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1157347/osh.gif
Make the Lebron face :lol

[EnoughSaid]

Having Bosh back would be such a huge thing. Would open up so much for Wade and LeBron, and KG would have to actually guard Bosh instead of just clogging the paint. Would Boston still be able to consistently double team Wade? :confusedshrug:

[Take Your Lumps]

I love how all of a sudden the Heat NEED Chris Bosh.

Whatever happens, the rest of this series should be fun to watch.

[MostHated305]

I hope the Heat lose. I want them to lose so they'll make big changes like firing Spo or trading one of their players. Please lose!!!


It's a win-win

If we win the title...thats great

If we lose....Spo gets the boot......we throw a parade

:banana:

[Velocirap31]

I love how all of a sudden the Heat NEED Chris Bosh.

Whatever happens, the rest of this series should be fun to watch.

It was clear they needed him in the Indiana series. He spreads the floor and pulls the opposing teams out of the paint to guard him, thus giving driving lanes to Lebron and Wade. They are a much better team with him.

[LakersReign]

"Heat" fans flip flop so much it's hilarious. First, they didn't need Wade so they needed to trade him. Now they need him. Then it was they didn't need Bosh so they needed to trade him too. Now all of a sudden they need Bosh....again.:lol

[LBJDW305]

Got what a month rest for a mild/medium strain and people are saying its a desperation move???? Lol my god. Wearing my bosh jersey tomorrow to the game

[returnofthemack]

Does that matter? The heat will be better with him without a doubt

maybe. maybe not. he might not be a huge help for a little while as he makes his return. doesnt matter though if the heat want to have any chance of beating the spurs or the thunder they need to get bosh back asap so he can get back into regular bosh mode.

[Nash]

You are such a disturbed man, really. I honestly think you'll go into some serious depression if Lebron/Miami win it all.

not looking good Boston... not good at all

EDIT: ahem.. FIXED...

Yeah...you're absolutely right. The Heat are really going to shred the Heat tomorrow:lol

I get the feeling Bosh's return is going to be overhyped and lackluster.:sleeping

[StateOfMind12]

Even if he's rusty as hell and can't hit a shot offensively, he should still be a major defensive & rebounding upgrade over Joel and Turiaf. That's where Miami's losing games.
Bosh would be an upgrade in terms of rebounding but a downgrade defensively compared to Turiaf, Anthony, Haslem, etc. Bosh is probably the worst defensive big on the Heat although that isn't much of a shot at Bosh. It's just the fact that every Heat big except Bosh is a defensive specialist.

The only think Bosh offers defensively that Anthony and Turiaf do not offer is length but that really doesn't mean much. KG might not be able to get those easy lobs and layups but he could probably score in the low-block much easier with Bosh on him than with Anthony, Turiaf, Haslem, etc.

[LBJDW305]

Offense people...offense

[RRR3]

Good. Should help, but even if not, I won't blame Bosh. His absence has made me realize that he is very important to this team, and a better player than I previously had given him credit for.

[tmacattack33]

I don't see how Bowen could possibly say it was a bad move.

Even if he doesn't play well, he's going to need a few games to get back into the flow of things...so its not like they can wait until the Finals to give him a few practice games...because by then they might be down 2-0 to the Spurs already.

[Lord Leoshes]

He needs to stay out. If they lose, he will become the scapegoat.


Pierce, Garnett, & Allen should sit out cause they are old, & injured. It is only for their own good.

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

KG has destroyed Bosh regularly throughout their careers.

chris bosh is back

So what???? He is just the 3rd option (may be bumped to 4th now cause Chalmers is playing so efficient), and he is not 100% fit. He was never a great defender.
His presense will only take away some touches and points from his teammates...
Boston will rather have him than the physical Haslem.

Welcome back, Bosh :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

Welcome back, Bosh :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

If Bosh can play like an all-star, he will be the second option over Chalmers.

And that's kinda like a big deal on a team with no depth especially at the PF and C spot.

He's the 3rd option in a very unique team that is extremely top heavy with zero front court.
