That much better defender led the team that was the worst defensive team in the NBA.
Right, and you've seen how many games with Bosh this past season? You guys are just taking your anger out on Bosh as a person and neglecting who he is as a player on the court. You've probably seen more games on TV featuring Al Jefferson than Chris Bosh.
Bosh as the main man > Amare. We will see how Bosh does in his Amare role next year and we will see how Amare does in Bosh's role.
8 years and 2 knee surgeries later?
Never said he was a great defender, just that his defense was better than Amare's. And judging by Phoenix's reputation on D the past 10 years, Amare doesn't have much going for him either. Bosh is a much much better rebounder too. Whereas Amare has been too lazy to ever play defense.
Amare being able to lead a team to the lottery doesn't compare to Bosh's ability to do the same
Amare is desperate for other all star players to join him, because he will never ever ever be a good #1 option. At least Bosh will benefit from being a 3rd option which is what he's suited for on a good team.
yeah that .5 more rebound per game Bosh has makes him such a better rebounder.
As bad as the Suns' D has been since Amare came in the league, Toronto's D has been way worse. They are both equally ty defenders.
Here's a game where Bosh's amazing defense was on display that I watched:

WTF Shaq? And Shawn Marion?
WTF
If Amare had been drafted by the Raptors, he never would've been in the playoffs even once.
And for Bosh who had "quit" this past season. He pulled down 10.8 boards per game (6th best in the league last season) whereas Amare barely cracked the top 20, and he's got 20 pounds on Bosh.
I agree neither have defense to right home about, but Bosh can D it up from time to time.
and Amundson
So can Amare, they are both equally ty and inconsistent on defense, but at least Amare never let a 37 year old drop 45 points
And yet he still shot 50% from the floor, and had a double double.
As for Amare.....oh of course, he was injured. Great game to choose from
I think it is hilarious how your tune has changed Goran. Now you laugh at people saying Bosh is better than Amare? I think Bosh is better than Amare, but not by a huge margin when you take all factors into consideration.
But to laugh at people who say Bosh is better, when the difference between the two might not be great is the only thing that is laughable imo.
Notice how you didn't say anything about him being a "respectable defender".
His role will be secondary on the Heat, just like Amare on the Suns.
Amare didn't play because of a career threatening eye injury, Amare has never refused to play in a game where he was medically cleared to play, the same however cannot be said for RuPaul.As for Amare.....oh of course, he was injured. Great game to choose from
I think you will see Bosh be a much better defender next year.
My favorite is his "Canadian dip s" comment. And yet he brings weak take after weak take. The poster is a decent guy, but I think he needs to take the homer glasses off. I think nearly every team in the NBA would rather have Bosh than Amare. No question.
And truth is, I'm not even that crazy about either player.
Its pretty clear most every team would rather have Bosh. Amare was a plan B to Bosh in most cases.
Yet Bosh still puts up better stats and remains one of the best rebounders in the league. And Amare has missed way way more games than Bosh has. Amare = injury prone, Bosh, not so much. I agree that Bosh is a wuss when he actually does get injured. I'll give you that, but that doesn't mean Amare is a better player when they're both on the court.
Amare has career averages of more points, a higher FG%, more blocks, but puts up .5 less rebounds per game. He is better statistically.
Amare has missed games because of an unpreventable eye injury and knee injury. Outside of that he's been extremely healthy, Bosh misses games every year because his vagina swells up.
Honestly, do you think most teams in the NBA would rather have Bosh or Amare on their team? Seriously.
