Bosh out indefinitely

**tesseractive** · 05-14-2012

Just like the Spurs' 2 out of 3 championships came against the Weak ass Nets and Cavs.

Out of 4 successful trips to the finals, the only really tough team the Spurs played was the Pistons team that beat the Lakers. The other 3 were weak, because they were Eastern Conference teams, which are usually weak.

Of the 5 les of the Kobe era, the only real team the Lakers played in the finals was the Celtics team that they split with.

Seems like a wash to me.

So it`s Wade injury away from LeBron trying to win it all by himself

**hater** · 05-14-2012

question is at what point will Wade be carried out on a stretcher for tweaking his pinkie?

**HarlemHeat37** · 05-14-2012

everybody in this thread downplaying the injury, in an attempt to prop up Lebron's supporting cast..

Lebron and Wade now have the worst supporting cast in recent le contender history..however, they should still be good enough to win a le in this weak year, tbh, it'll just be more difficult than earlier..

Hopefully Bosh is back for the ECF, after Boston's semi-finals bye round..

If Bosh is out:

Indiana 4, Miami: 2

That'd be nice but I don't think so. Although I'm wondering how this will affect Miami's offensive spacing. I don't even remember who else is in their front court tbh. Like I said earlier this season, Indiana's a nice team but they're just not that good. Barring injuries and freakish choking, Miami's still taking this series imo.

Without Bosh's jumper providing space for Bron and Wade, I see the Pacers packing the paint. We know Bron and Wade are no Reggie Millers to begin with. With Indiana's size, they should be able to out rebound them as well. No rebounds? No blistering fastbreaks. Plus, Miami's half court game sucks.

Indiana now has a chance.

I would more or less agree that this injury does even things up a little bit more. Even then I still don't think Indiana is good enough to beat Miami in a full series short of getting freakishly hot among other things.

I'm cheering for Indiana though so I'd be thrilled if they did take the series (and play the Spurs in the Finals). My thinking is that if Bosh is out extended time this could significantly help the Celtics out next series though since as you said there's nothing to stop teams from using the zone or packing the paint without Bosh.

Unless maybe Spo decides to use Mike Miller? A downgrade for sure but a big enough player who can space the floor.

I would like to agree, but everytime they drive to the basket refs will blow the whistle.

Speaking of uncanny optimism

This is true, unfortunately.

I called the Heat in 6 against an unnamed opponent and you took that serious?

Still nothing to do with LeBron's comments.

What do you think Dallas did last year?

What about Dallas?

he's the worst of the 3 playing an inexperienced team, Lebron and Dwade can beat them with a little help

Are you trying to compare Artest and Bosh?

**BlackSwordsMan** · 05-14-2012

Imagine the stress this puts on lebron he'll be wearing a triple headband before the end of this series

**Amaso** · 05-14-2012

Heat will still win the East even if Bosh is out for the year. They would lose in the finals to whoever comes out of the West though(unless its the Clippers).
