Bosh out!

I agree with your point overall that Pop deserves credit for keeping his team healthy to this point in a season that had a schedule that increased the likelihood of injury down the stretch, but don't forget that the very media you say doesn't give Pop credit is the same media that voted him COTY.

True. But I don't think he got a lot of "this team is healthy and peaking at the right time because of strategic rest" votes, I think most of his votes were "this team has a great record and exceeded expectations, plus we can't give this to Thibs again" votes from the media.

No -like who cares
Every team plays the same number of games, period whether it's a shortened season or not. Every team has the same opportunity to win. LMAO at those (LA homers, etc...) who think we give a flying about a so called asterik...

If we win they can once again kiss our asterisk!!!

I have the impression Phil Jax doesn't manage minutes at all. I guess his GM's picked less injury prone players. He had Bynum out in 2008, then Malone and Ho Grant out in 2004 and that's it. Pop had bad luck with Manu various times despite managing his minutes, also Duncan was out in 2000 and Derek Anderson in 2001.

Yeah. Phil Jax has never really had a problem with injuries. You can chalk up Malone's and Ho Grant's injuries to age. And he didn't micromanage minutes so he must have done something right. That's why I don't buy that keeping guys out of games and lowering their minutes like crazy will keep them injury free.

According to the TNT crew, including Shaq who had such an injury, stick a fork in Bosh for the season unless he gets "the shot." Shaq does not recommend that, as he then came back too soon and injured the other side.

However, for a championship and with months to recover, I suppose we can't rule out "the shot" from keeping Bosh in play for the Finals if Heat make it.
