Aldridge vs Bosh

[Myth]

I'm curious how they will compare this year. The last few years this has been a frequent argument to have popped up on ISH, with some saying Aldridge is better, while others saying Bosh is but is just hindered by LeBron. Now we'll finally have a better way of comparing them.

I'm thinking Aldridge is better at this point in their careers, but I like Bosh and expect to see him have a bounce back year with his larger role on the Heat.

aldridge this past year was better than bosh ever was

I believe so too, but that didn't stop the discussion. Probably because it was memory vs what is going on in front of our eyes (as well as stat comparisons).

Hard to tell until Bosh is actually given the opportunity to be more than a floor-spacer on a team that isn't dominated by the ball-stopping force known as Le "play how i want or i'll give up in the finals" Bron. Not surprised he was often disengaged when he'd often have only something like 5 or 7 shots - hard to get any rhythm when you touch the ball that infrequently.

All 5 Heats fans on here are mad salty about Bron dumping them

Nice counting skills. There haven't even been 5 posters in here, and I for one am far from a Heat fan. I'm a Blazer fan.

I'm biased but I think LMA has this. IF he shows more of the aggression we saw in some of the games the last season it would be an even easier thing to answer.

LMA would have been more valuable to lebron in the finals than wade + bosh combined

That was a very good game. We can't act like he will do that every game though. It was obviously an outlier. I think he can still potentially put up over 20/10 for a season though.

10 rebounds for Bosh?

Well think about it. He's going to get around 20 shots a game easily. Factor in some free throws and that he shoots about 50%, I see him putting up something like 24/9. His midrange game is automatic, and he'll be utilized a lot more than just a jumpshooter this upcoming season.

I'm excited for him to shine.

I'm not saying he will, but if he goes back to his Raptors style of play instead of trying to be Channing Frye, I wouldn't be totally surprised. He had 3 seasons of being over 10rpg. I expect him to probably be around 8 to 9 though.

I think Wade will score more than Bosh to be honest. He's a much better creator.

Bosh should be around 20-25 points. 22 seems about right. 8 rebounds max though.

Bosh is going to shoot more threes than ever next year now that he has the greenlight to chuck.

The old Bosh that use to bang bodies is gone. He just doesnt like contact. Why he is one of the worst post defenders in the league as well.
