How is Bosh Averaging 6.7 Boards When Miami is Last in Rebounding

[Mass Debator]

Bosh is by no means a great rebounder but for a guy who helps on pick and rolls, rotates like every second on defense, and is skinny, he's pretty good.

[pegasus]

Even though Miami struggles to rebound the ball throughout the season, I recall them out-rebounding their opponents in huge games like ECF Game 7 and the Finals Game 7. They seem to be able to turn it on when they absolutely have to.

[AirFederer]

grabbing 6.7 rebounds as a spot up 3 point shooter for the team is pretty dam good.

This.

Dat spacing to create room for Lebron to operate... It's a trade off

then he should get more defensive rebounds. what is wrong with people here?

[sd3035]

Lebron should average 15 a game since he just camps under the rim on D waiting to stat pad his rebounds. I think he misses his opportunity by running out of the way when someone drives to the basket

that should mean that lebron is so much better than i think because most people on ish think that lebron gets all his points on easy transition lay-ups. Camping under the basket and still being a beast in transition by being ahead of the other team in transition means that he is the fastest basketball player of all time by a really big margin.

He camps under the rim about 80% of the time, the other 20% he's stuck on the perimeter. After the offensive player blows by him, he runs down the court by himself to cherry pick for an easy dunk.

as biased as this might sound to alot of Lebron fans, this is actually true. They dont want to hear it, but it's somewhat consistent with what he does if you watch games.

Except it's not. The Heat are not at the top in fast break points, only in points off turnovers. They rarely get leak out points. Lebron James doesnt camp around the rim because he guards perimeter players. But whatever. Not like the people are objective on this board.

lol @ this guy pretending to be objective and and he pretending like he actually watches heat games

[riseagainst]

People getting so sensitive in here as soon as anyone says anything these "Heat" fans don't want to hear. Suddenly we don't watch any games.

Once they get to the playoffs I think we'll see a lot more minutes for Birdman and Oden, so it'll likely be less of a problem.

The weird things is tho Bosh did average like 12 rebounds for a season or two when he was on the Raptors. So it's not like he can't do it. Prob just has to do with the way they play.

Exactly. Bosh wasn't constantly asked to do this in Toronto like he is in Miami so a lot of the time he's really not in great position to box out and get rebounds.

He's asked to expend a lot of energy defending all over the floor, blitzing pick and rolls, defending stretch 4's, challenge shots of players who beat the Heat players off the dribble. So much of what he does on defense goes unnoticed to most fools who like to read box scores. And when Lebron is guarding any star perimeter player Bosh is right there with him on the perimeter giving help 80% of the time.

[Keno]

good question, no one really knows why. lebron ups his rebounding game in the playoffs, he has to do so much for this flawed team it's unbelievable on how they are back to back champs.

[Shabba Ranks]

looks like they still taking home the trophy this year doe

You spout that same shit EVERY time, without ever backing up your claims. You really seem to only watch a couple of YouTube clips and base your opinions off of that.

If you actually watch entire games, you would know that Bosh is absolutely miserable at boxing out opposing big men. You ever wonder why every opposing big man turns into Shaq lite against the Heat? Bosh is a great defender, but he's too soft to guard physical players.

Wade grabbed more rebounds than Bosh against the Pacers, BTW.
