the knicks havent gotten better because they gave up half of the team to get him. A move that will payoff in the long hall but stings now. the gasol to LA is kind of a poor analogy because 1. gasol wen to a team that had kobe on it 2. LA attained gasol for NOTHING while NY gave away a lot.
for the record melo has gone farther in the playoffs then bosh. peolple are all high on bosh right now because hes been doing well in this series(76ers are a non playoff team in the west) but i remember in the reg season when heat fans hated bosh for his poor play and softness.
Yeah, playing in Toronto people do not become too familiar with your game. Bosh has a unique style for a power forward, being more of a clutch shooter than a push it to the rim and dunk kind of guy.
He had to make a greater adjustment than any of the Big 3 since playing for the Heat, and lately he has done very well, even before the 76er's series. He is the most pivotal player for The Heat to succeed. Miami struggled just a little bit in their last game against Philly because he was cold. When he is hot, nobody in the league can stop The Heat.
His only truly terrible performance this season was that game against Chigaco, where he only hit one shot. He wasn't even being defended properly, and he simply blew it. Had he been just a little bit more "on", Miami would have won.
I cannot wait for the Miami-Chicago series. It might as well be the Finals, because as I said, whoever wins the East wins the Finals. LA just doesn't match up well against either team, especially The Heat.
The only West team that scares me is the Thunder, but like Chicago, I believe that playoff inexperience is likely to take them out as they face teams who have been there and done that.
Fucking embarrassing loss by Chicago today. They just dropped a game to the worst team in the playoffs. The whole series has been an embarrassment, really, a team as talented as Chicago should have no problems getting past a team with an overall losing record. They have fallen behind early in every single game. They may be the most talented team in the league, but they are simply not championship ready. They can beat up on a geriatric team like The Lakers or Boston, but there is no way they stand up to Miami.
However, the future is way bright for them. I think they will be the team to occasionally keep Miami out of the 'ship for a couple of seasons. Then again, Miami will continue to get better, and more and more veterans looking to go out with a ring will jump on the bandwagon.
