Terrible offense from the Celtics has led to the Cavs getting the final ball down by 2.

D2D

Celtics win it 103-100

Awful, awful, awful final 2 possession for the Cavs there

Nuri Sahin

I swear in 8 out of 10 Celtics games in Boston in which they take a lead into the 4Q, they end up nearly blowing it. The predictably is good (for me). .

What a finish to last nights late game. With 0:05 sec left on the clock, Portland did get one last shot off, But Aldridge failed to convert from the inbound lob. It's a great win for Miami against major opposition without Lebron James

Bosh is easily the most under-appreciated player in the league, due to being the third of the ''big three''.

The Big 2 and a Half more like, or "The RuPaul of big men" as Shaq famously christened him.




Bosh is to use an Eamon Dunphy-ism "a good player, not a great player". His rebound which led to Ray Allen's game tying game 6 3 pointer aside he had a very poor Finals, as he did the year they lost to Dallas too. I said it at the time if Miami lost last year RuPaul Bosh was getting traded. His value is relative, he was a big fish in Toronto but were he to become available now there wouldn't be a huge clamoring for him in say the same way as Kevin Love.

@suki agree completely re Bosh.

I think if anyone with a proper interest watches Miami then can tell its LBJ and Wade team.

Just look at his rebounding numbers in a team that doesn't have another proper big man. Watch him get destroyed whenever Miami play against a team with a proper centre. Trade him for Asik even and IMO Miami are a better team

While I agree completely that it's Lebron and D.Wade's team, Bosh plays a vital role in their team. Ya he had a poor NBA Finals last year, but players go through rough patches. James Harden with OKC vs Miami in 2012 anyone? Ginobli last year for the Spurs is another case in point.

To say that trading him for Asik would make the Heat better is frankly ridiculous imo. Bosh's offensive is crucial to Miami having the best offense in the league. His jumpshot open up the paint for James and Wade to drive to the ring and score. The other teams rim protector is forced to go out to Bosh as you have to respect his jumper, particular his mid range jumper, but he has also extended his range to the 3 point line. This means that the Heat get more uncontested close in shots, having Asik would destroy their spacing. It would mean that teams could simply pack the paint and leave Asik on an island as his jumpshot is non existent. He is inherently useless offensively from beyond 8 feet.
Yeah Bosh should get more rebounds, but the heat are not like most teams,they get rebounds from other sources, they have a small forward who averages 7 rebounds a game and Wade also gets his fair share. The Heat are a far better team with Bosh than with Asik.

stuchyg

Fair enough Asik wasn't the best example but I still feel that you trade bosh for a big man who can hit a 16 footer and they are better. I'm just never filled with confidence watching him and I'm not even a Heat fan as such.

Dublin Red Devil

I don't know, I kind of like Bosh. probably more from his Raptor days. Like his playing style.
