![]() He talks about the need to figure things out down the stretch, and how not having Bosh right now can actually help with that.

![]() I think he's going to do what Kobe did. Take a little while longer to come back to hit the gym.
You guys probably notice Kobe a little bit bigger than usual last night, Bosh has slowly been losing a little weight as the season goes on like all players do. I hope he's hitting the gym, so he'll be perfect for the playoffs. |

our team doing good without our star player is great for us in the long run as it keeps Bosh fresh for the playoffs... |

![]() When Bosh was out for a stretch of games in the 2006-2007 season he talked about having the opportunity to really evaluate the team's weaknesses without him there, figure out how he could better pick his spots during games, and really just get a feel for what the team looks like from an objective standpoint; if I remember correctly the team went on a tear after he came back. Seeing things from a different perspective can never hurt, and in this case I expect it to help.

![]() I think injuries can have a good effect sometimes, but they can also be devastating. Without Bosh, we are obviously much weaker, and with the upcoming schedule being much tougher, if it lingers and we lose a bunch of games, there's a serious risk of even missing the playoffs. We're only a few games ahead of the 9th spot, and all the teams below are playing very well. Charlotte are struggling a bit, but they did beat cleveland by 20 points or so. Also, all 4 teams below us are in the top 10 in the league in defense, which bodes well for them to have a strong finish.
However, the biggest risk is if Bosh comes back without being fully recovered, and plays at 70% or so. I'd rather keep him out until he's 100% and hope the rest of the team can at least hold water. Luckily, Miami is also without wade, who seems to have a worse injury, and noah in Chicago is also struggling with a long term injury. It's going to be an interesting finish in the east this season. |
