How come Bosh gets a pass for 2011 NBA finals?

Bosh had worse stats than Lebron. How come there were no calls for Bosh to be traded?

[russwest0]

Both played like 3rd options. I fail to see the problem with Bosh here.

[Meticode]

Bosh isn't the best basketball player in the world playing on the Heat.

Shot attempts

Wade 108
Bosh 92
Lebron 90
Chalmers 47

[RoundMoundOfReb]

so did mario chalmers

Shot attempts

Wade 108
Bosh 92
Lebron 90
Chalmers 47

So it's Bosh's fault that LeBron froze up in the 4th and refused to shoot?

This is a lie. Bosh was the first player Heat bandwagon fans want traded at the time. Scrolled down my Facebook timeline in 2011, and that was all I seen

[NZStreetBaller]

lebron stan tryna patch up the 2011 choke by taking it out on bosh.:facepalm

[Im Still Ballin]

Did you nerds not learn anything from GoranMichaelCorleoneDragic's in-depth analytic study analysis? The results were conclusive and we all agreed that Lebron was not at fault or to be blamed BUT Wade. Go look it up.

It's science.

[MiseryCityTexas]

Both Bosh and Wade were garbage in the 2011 Finals.

Yeah, clearly a chunk of Bosh's shots should've gone to Bron, but he decided to go AWOL so Bosh had to take his shots.

both were better than Bron

:facepalm

[SouBeachTalents]

While he wasn't "great", this was BY FAR Bosh's best Finals appearance

[TheMarkMadsen]

19/7

[SouBeachTalents]

19/7

Exactly, his shooting and defense were far from great, but how is 19/7 from a THIRD option something to complain about?

[Lebronxrings]

finally someone calls the others out on this. This was by no means all of lebrons fault, people fail to realize the heat as a whole were terrible. Bosh was soft, Spo kept relying on lebron, wade choked a bunch, no one else did anything, defense was bad, etc. While lebron never had the "GOAT moment", he didn't play awful. Some of yall need to check his rebounding, assists and defense he played in that series. The real reason they lost? Spo. Worst championship coach in history of sports.

Why? Cause it's the one he scored the most points in? :facepalm
Scoring a high number of points does not mean you played well. A guy his size shooting 40 percent is pathetic! Bosh's best Finals was in 2012 and it's not even close. He scored fewer points than he did in 11, but at least he was efficient and did a decent job in the paint.

OT - How many ASG appearances will Bosh have by the end of his career? I think he's at 9 now, any way he makes it to 13? Puts him in the top 10 all time if he does.

45% from a big is efficient while 41% is pathetic?

[JT123]

19/7
19/7 on 40% shooting :facepalm
Funny how when Gasol averages 20/10 on 54% shooting for an entire playoff run you wanna claim he was a softy who got carried by Kobe. :rolleyes:

Anything less than 50 percent is bad for a big, but I give Bosh some slack in 2012 because he was coming off an injury that caused him to miss almost 2 entire series.

[buddha]

i'm going to die when Wade and Bosh beat the Cavs in the playoffs this year.

[Ai2death]

:facepalm Has Bosh ever been considered the best player in the world? Even if he had stans they wouldn't be that stupid

[Legends66NBA7]

Bosh and James could have both played a lot better, more so James.

Bosh shot 41.3% for the series..

Dirk shot 41.6% for the series..

Why are you bringing up Gasol? He was the second option..

When Kobe has a 3rd option that averages 19/7 in the finals..then we can talk.

[Legends66NBA7]

Come to think of it, did Bosh ever have a good finals ? I'm guessing 2012.

[SouBeachTalents]

Come to think of it, did Bosh ever have a good finals ? I'm guessing 2012.

This was his best one. He was averaging 12 & 10 on 40% though the first 4 games of 2012 before putting up nice numbers in that Game 5 rout, some of which I'm sure was in garbage time/stat padding

[Eric Cartman]

Game 4.

2011 stat wise. 2012 was his best one if you take into account impact and defense.

[SpecialQue]

Yeah, let's let Lebron off the hook for shitting the bed because the THIRD option on the team didn't play that great either. Stans are reaching like Mr. Fantastic.

Did you watch the damn series? Bosh gets no blame because they made him a spot up shooter and had zero plays drawn up for him. Heat lost because if you go to the first option 95% of the time it's predictable.

[GimmeThat]

because Nowitzki shot like shit outside of his 3 pointers and clutch free throws.

45-46 FT
