An year after their shocking defeat in the Finals, the Miami Heat are looking to bounce back from the surprise and are ready to win it all this season.
The expectations will be really off the charts for James and Wade' huge production. However, their production relies heavily mostly on the third member of the Big Three as well.
Yes, i'm talking about Chris Bosh, the 6'10 power forward for Miami. Even though he's not as good as his other superstar team mates, he's arguably the most important player of the team.
It's already proven that regardless how great performance both Wade and James have, it wouldn't mean anything special unless Chris has a similar production, at least not versus elite teams.
His contributions are extremely needed. Bosh spaces the defense with his excellent shooting touch from anywhere, provides the solid presence on the glass, can play decent defense and give his team easy points inside as well.
Although he's had so far an up and down season, in which he made the All-Star game, had a great period when Dwyane was injured, his below average performances are big reason why the Heatles aren't doing good as of lately.
His stats have suffered thanks to him playing a role of a third option and in an uptempo style that doesn't maximize his overall abilities, so his decreased statistics seem reasonable.
This shows how his stats that aren't as good when compared to the ones from his days as a member of the Toronto are deceiving. He's an elite player without a doubt.
Still, when Chris is on his game, the Floridians are doing beyond well. In fact, when he scores at least 20 points this season, the Heat are with an amazing 22-2 record.
Bosh elevated his game and outmatched his opponents such as Brand, KG, Boozer with numerous great performance that were of huge importance for Miami during last year's playoffs.
He even played solid versus the Finals MVP, Dirk Nowitzki for a player who was for the first time in the Finals. He made a winning shot as well.
Chris is going through a slump now versus the better teams and it hasn't resulted positively at all. Miami lost crucial games and their record backs that up.
Despite being the third best player in the roster, despite not getting enough touches and all, it's never been a better time for the tall, lanky shooting Bosh to elevate his game and complete his goal which is to win a championship.
