birdman over bosh?

[Fraser9698]

When is this going to happen? I would take birdman to start over bosh at this point. You can't underestimate toughness as a big man and bosh has none. Hell, at this point i'd resign harrellson and put him in there.

[Lockdown32]

Never going to happen. Even a bad Bosh is still 10 times better than birdman.

Bosh was actually hitting his shots until that last shot....but I do agree why the F is he spotting outside the 3 line all the time?

[Fraser9698]

5 rebounds. Unacceptable.

[drob50]

He is the only one willing to play the pick and pop and vitally take his open jump shots!

He is not Zach Randolph, he is a tall high key forward!

[Qwasian]

I don't think birdman can play the minutes bosh can, he would get winded, he's really good in short intervals coming off the bench, I don't think he's be solid all game if you plugged him in bosh minutes.

stop. rebounds are the single most overrated category. when you play basketball and are skin and bones (like bosh is) you can only box your man out (this is what you're supposed to do and not go for the rebound). also would you guess leonard has 10 rebounds??? hell no, or boris diaw with 1 rebound? maybe tiago with 2 rebounds? it's the most overated stat ever.
bosh isn't a bad player AT ALL. he had 11 pts out the heats first 25 if i remember correctly. if anything is to be blamed i personally think wade has trashed it. he had a good matchup in this series and the last while bosh hasn't. he's going against either leonard or green... both are very young and one was in the d league a few years back. bosh has to go against a timmy or a splitter (very good defender and like a david west, but quicker).

i agree with this statement too, but bosh reminds me of lebron trying in his younger days trying to jack 3's. he's just trying to get something going and it's not his shot. his shot is the 18 footer right below the 3pt line.

I have never been a fan of Bosh's play, but I think you are correct. Chris Anderson is one dimensional on both ends of the court. He is a help defender and a baseline position advantage scorer.

[LeonfromNC]

If Bosh would just stop shooting threes he wouldnt get the hate he gets. He is not a legit 3 pt shooter i can think of 7 better 3pt options on the Heat than him...

Allen, Miller, Chalmers, Cole, James, Battier, Jones and heck even Wade!

The problem is that the Spurs know this as well, so Bosh was being left open while the defenders were closing out these guys! Why wouldn't he take the open shots?? Wade and some other were too scared to attempt any and kept passing off!

[21taylor21-0911]

point is spurs made the adjustments to stop LeBron and the heat didn't make the adjustments. Once again u see how important a coach is

He's too soft to play inside, I've been saying that since 2006 when he started developing his jumpshot instead of building an inside game

[paul06901]

People hate on Bosh for shooting 3's ... but that's what Spoelstra wants!

When Lebron/Wade drive, they get doubled and the defense sinks in.

If Bosh sat in the paint, it'd get clogged up.

He *CAN* hit the three. If he makes them, defense can't help on Lebron/Wade.




I LOL when people say "Bosh should stop shooting 3's!"

Right... because you're a coach and understand that he's just out there shooting them because HE wants to!

[EMD34]

I don't know what you have against Bosh, but not even a prime Birdman would dream of starting over Bosh. Bosh is a very good player, and there is no way the Heat would be where they are now without him.

Thank you. THe Spurs have two bigs sitting in the lane. Bosh is on the arc to pull them out to open the lanes. If the Spurs do not respect that, then Bosh will hit the open 3. This is the basic parameters of their small ball offense.

[pac213up]

Have to play Bosh but my guess is the Spurs will be very content with letting a 28% 3pt shooter take those shots. He has done better in the post season but is likely to average out.

Pop will let Bosh have his. Pop has always been willing to give in to a lesser player in order to stop the star. If he can keep Lebron under 20 and let Bosh have open shots he will.

birdmanBIRDMAN

nothing more.

[sportzking]

Birdman and Bosh has 2 different playing styles. I would say Andersen is more of an inside presence, he tends to setup in the paint and play offense from there. Bosh is more like the new trending forwards who likes to shoot outside. If anything I would say that Andersen might be a bit better on defense but worse on offense.

28.8%..lol i checked..

yea he has been hot but the 0 for 4 yesterday may have cost them the game..

[SocraticGoat777]

Yeah, Just because he didnt have a good game doesnt mean he is worse than Birdman. Bosh is still an allstart elite player that avged 24ppg at Toronto. He is slightly undersized but he is wayyyy better than Birdman
