Is there a worse post defender in the league than Bosh?

[aquaadverse]

you are really giving them too much credit, they barely posses enough skill to be in the NBA, I wouldn't be surprised if Lebron had to hold extra long practices just to teach these guys the basic fundamentals like jump shooting, free throws, foot-work and exaggerating contact.

pretty pathetic that these 4 scrubs are the best help that Lebron has ever had.

Because you're in the NBA as a player or a coach. I'd be surprised if you are out of your Mom's basement.

kevin love maybe.


Bosh has terrible defense. He gets overrated since he has played with 2 elite defenders: lebron and whiteside.

Anyone who calls Bosh a bad defender is completely clueless about the game of basketball, and Whiteside is nowhere near being any elite defender. He's a good shot blocker and rim protector, but only an idiot equates that with being an elite overall defender. For every shot he blocks he lets up a score at the rim. He's a mediocre man defender and he constantly gets lost on switches.

Bosh, as has been mentioned, is the best PnR defending big in the league. NBA coaches would say the same (and have on several occasions). His length, quickness, and range are MAJOR factors in the Heat being an outstanding defensive team. He covers as much court as anyone in the league. In the big-3 years, Bosh's defensive ability allowed Lebron and Wade to wreak havoc out on the perimeter.

Irving is good when healthy (which is rarely), Wade was good in 2011, shit afterwards, but yes what you said is true.



Bosh and Love have 0 impact on a winning team, they're made for the lottery

In 2012 Wade averaged 22/5/5/2/1 with a 26.3 PER (3rd in the league), 23/5/4/2/1 in the playoffs, and 23/6/5/2/1 in the finals. He was an all-star and 2nd team all-NBA. That's shit?

What did he average the first 3 games vs the Pacers that playoffs?

post Lebron's averages from the first 3 games of the 2013 finals please

Bosh has actually improved quite a bit in the last couple of years.

Up to that point he had been completely atrocious. Honestly just downright awful.

That's your response?

I post an entire season and post-season worth of numbers and accolades, and you counter that by asking about 3 games, in a series the Heat won and Wade averaged 26/6/3 including 41/10 in the closeout game? Are you sure that's what you're going with?

Next time you criticize Wade's 2013 playoffs, I'm going to counter with "what were his numbers in games 4-7 of the finals?"
