Bosh had the best reaction to the loss

[CelticG1]

Pretty sure all of our guys were bawling last year after the game. Maybe they got lucky there wasn't a camera around to capture it.

I'll never knock a guy for caring too much.

I'm glad they did it behind closed doors. No need to make a scene in front of the cameras. Okay a couple tears streaming down is one thing, collapsing in the hall and not moving is another.

Now everyone thinks he cared so much about winning when if he just played a little harder during these games, maybe didn't let Dirk blow past him for a wide open game winning lay up

I'll give Bosh credit for that because out of all of the 3 of them he seemed that he was in it for the money and the possibility of a ring was just a bonus and now maybe we were wrong about him.

LeBron has always been immature and the comments made by him and Wade after the game were the evidence of that. When LeBron said what he said in the post game conference to people that wanted him to fail (that basically he's a millionaire and we're not so shove it) it was just immature and was just as big of a mistake as "the decision".

They were saying "oh well we tired." and not admitting the issues and failings while Bosh was professional enough to admit that mistakes did them in and they need to improve. Between "the decision", all that he has said since moving to Miami and his inability to be a clincher and a superstar is the reason why I don't like him and think that he will never be as good as Jordan, Magic, Bird, Russell or any of the all time greats.

I don't think LeBron, by the end of his career would crack the Top 10 list for the best players to the game ever.

If I have one wish in professional sports, it's that the Heat never win another ring.  LeBron and Wade have proven that they don't deserve it, not only with their play on the court, but their attitude and immature/ignorant personality off the court.  At their age I doubt they are gonna change.  I just hope they don't get lucky and hit ridiculous 3s again while the refs send them to the FT line every time someone breathes on them.

I'm all in favor of the "Curse of LeBron James" discussed above.  I'd even buy CHB's book on the topic if that would make it happen.

I always thought it was a given that he would.  If he finishes his career with 2 or fewer rings, I think he gets left out.  If he finishes with 3 or more rings though, I think he cracks the list.

I'm just not sure he would win more than 2 honestly. Who knows what happens when the NBA signs a new CBA which could include a hard cap. If and when that happens who knows what transpires with who goes where in free agency and how it will mold the NBA. It might benefit Miami cause teams can't afford to do what Boston, Lakers and Miami have done with multiple super stars or it could hurt Miami cause maybe it's a cap of 50-60 and that might force teams to trade or release some talents.

Maybe he redeems himself and he is enshrined as one of the best to play but he needs to change a lot of things that I am not so sure he can, mainly his attitude. I don't see it happening and I'd like to add that he left Cleveland because he couldn't work as hard as it was required to be that superstar and took the easy way out by joining Miami. Cavs management worked hard to surround him with talented enough players, so they thought were talented enough, and just missed... it happens and he chickened out.

Kobe will go down as the best competition to Jordan's legacy I believe, not LeBron.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

is it wrong to feel bad for Chris Bosh and not for the Heat? When I saw him cry I went, dude that sucks.

He was pretty good in this series. In fact, he was better than LeBron in this series. He was quiet and not being arrogant (or at least I did not saw him being one) the whole time.

[pearljammer10]

Chris Bosh's mental characteristics are much better than he get credit for.

Its funny because at the beginning of the year I think Bosh was my least favorite Heat player. After a full season of watching these guys cry and whine, I still cannot stand Bosh but I certainly have a little more respect for him as an all around player than I do for James or Wade.

[wiley]

I'm sure they all wanted it equally, but Bosh showed himself to be more mature than the other two, no big surprise.  He seems like a good guy and is not on the same arrogant plane as Lebrade...

[LooseCannon]

I guess I'm wrong. I'm sure if Lebron was crying in the hallway being carried by his teammates that people would be applauding him. give me a break

If LeBron was crying in the hallway, I would hope that someone would walk by and kick him in the sack while he was down.

What sack?

[mc34]

I've been bashing Bosh all year long but he's still a really good player. One of the biggest problems that Spoelstra needs to correct is Bosh's lack of touches in crunch time. Almost never touches the ball, unless its for a bailout midrange jumper. Also agree that he was the only one who seemed to even care about the loss

[get_banners]

Bosh has gained points from me. He didn't engage in the nonsensical stuff wade and james did much of the season and postseason. he didn't make excuses. he clearly took the loss hard - i made fun of him crying, but in retrospect, i would rather have guys in pain over losing than guys who say the loss meant god didn't think it was their time to win. granted, bosh is soft, and bosh has never had the kind of pressure the other 2 have, but bosh carried himself in a way neither of them seem capable of.

[CelticG1]

Of course Bosh is going to look good next to Lebron and Wade. Especially if you cry and collapse in the hallway. Big time brownie points

While Wade and Lebron were talking about how the god's were against them or the the big man upstairs said it wasn't time.



Bosh was saying this team needs to go back and work harder.  They didn't play well enough to win.  Dallas beat them. 



Wade and Lebron talked about how people don't know how hard they worked (thus they worked hard enough)





Bosh had the response you expect from a competitor.  That's what we would have heard out of a Bird, Magic, Jordon, KG...  (not that he has that level of talent)


Wade and Lebron response sound like the immature players waiting for their time instead of going and getting it.

Who is Jordon?  Did he make jeans? Oh, that was Jordache...

Considering he looked like a better player in Toronto...



Bosh is not the center piece of a team.  



He is not the issue in Miami.
