Can the Heat win the title without Bosh?

Heat's Bosh leaves Game 1 with abdominal injury | NBA.com

 

MIAMI (AP) -- Heat center Chris Bosh missed the second half of the opening game of Miami's Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday because of what the team called a lower abdominal injury.

 

Bosh was scheduled for an MRI to determine the extent of the problem.

 

"He was in a little bit of pain going into the locker room," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We won't know until we get an MRI."

I think so. He is the Heat's 3rd best player, but the top 2 players are so far ahead of any competition they go up against. If Bosh is not a force down low, his impact is minimal anyways. Yesterday he was scoring buckets but the Heat were still getting manhandled inside. That will be their ultimate undoing. LeBron went inside and pounded away for 15 boards and made the biggest difference in that respect yesterday.

 

I think a better way of saying it is that if they do not win it all, it will not be because Bosh is injured or playing in pain.

Absolutely not.

It sounds like it will be the Big 2 for the time being.

 

The Miami Heat announced on Monday that an MRI confirmed that All-Star forward Chris Bosh suffered an abdominal muscle strain on Sunday. Bosh is listed as out indefinitely.

No. If they meet the Thunder, the Big 2 will not be enough.

The Heat need Bosh against the Spurs, Thunder and Lakers, IMO. They could beat the Clippers without him. The Clippers will not get to the finals, IMO.

I always thought Bosh was a non factor. I still feel that way. All he makes for is a convenient excuse.

[NEERFAN]

I don't think so.

So what happens if they win it without Bosh?

I've always felt they needed to deal him for more servicable big men. He is good but he isn't good enough to carry the front line like he is asked. They need to deal for ateast 2 posts.

[Blue Magic]

No way. Thunder and Spurs are too darn good. Even the Lakers front court would eat them up, but doesn't look like the Lakers will get there.

I agree.
