Can Danny: Karma's a Bosh
I know that this is starting to look like a Miami Heat blog but after the loss to the Portland Trailblazers, Chris Bosh's quote basically explained everything that's wrong with the Heat's mindset.
Was I effective today? It's common sense. I think it's evident. I just have to get it where I'm effective. I have to get it where big guys get it. Then, I feel I can start helping out this team more. I'm effective down in the low-post area. That's where I need to start getting the ball. I need to be assertive and demanding.
Mind you, this is a game in which LaMarcus Aldridge owned him and helped lead the Blazers to victory. If Bosh wants to be effective and help his team, he needs to focus on the defensive end first and cleaning the glass second. Scoring should be, at best, his third concern. Personally, I find it appalling for a player to get four rebounds and watch his man drop 26 points on him and then cry about not getting enough touches on offense.
I've often said that there's no way they should break up the Superfriends after one season but if Bosh is truly as clueless as his soundbites make him seem and if he is really this concerned about getting touches, then the Heat shouldn't think twice about shipping him out of town for a "lesser" power forward who will work on defense and a defensive minded point guard.
