When the Miami Heat’s big 3 formed two seasons ago we all didn’t give Chris Bosh his proper respect. It was easy to dog Bosh because of his mannerisms and some of the interview quotes he gives us. Who can forget him breaking down crying in the hallway after the Heat lost last year in the finals?
All jokes aside Bosh is the piece that allows James and Wade to do their thing on a night in and night out basis. He is their only scoring big man, with a consistent face up game or able to drive by slower defenders. With Bosh out , if Wade or James does a pick and roll now who does the defense have to concentrate on?
During game 1 in the semifinals versus the Pacers , Bosh pulled an abdominal muscle and is out indefinitely, everyone says at least for the Pacer series. The Pacers are a good team in if the Heat can beat them without Bosh it will make their road to the NBA Finals that much tougher. In the weaker Eastern Conference this is not what the Heat ordered.
If the Heat are lucky enough to make the NBA Finals they will have no shot to win it all if Bosh isn’t able to play. We all know Haslem, Turiaf, Pittman and Anthony don’t have enough on the offensive end to make the defense respect them in a half court game.
Bosh is taking the biggest backseat out of the big 3, he was a 20 and 10 guy for the Raptors. He’s gone greatly underappreciated by everybody but now we will all see his importance to this team. I bet Bosh is rehabbing saying, “Do you miss me now?”
