Carlos Boozer says Miami only has 2 great players....oh really?

82Guy · May 22, 2011

Bosh just recorded 3rd playoff game with 30 plus points....and Boozer looks like a fool in the process..

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. should pay attention to that old adage.

Boozer, who has been called out for his subpar playoff performance has started the war of words between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls. In a tweet to Boozer said the Heat had two great players. Boozer doesn't see Miami's big three as a big three. He clearly sees it as a big two and a third wheel.

Now Bosh wasn't having the greatest playoff against Boston, but stepped it up when he had to. Bosh will have to continue his high level of play if Miami is to beat Chicago. On the other hand Boozer will have to be big in this series, especially since he let off the first verbal shot in the series.

He is right. Bosh isn't close to being GREAT.

nobody ever said he was...but he meant it as a slight to Bosh......as do most people who seem to think he is soft....and yet....Miami does not win without Bosh in the playoffs

Great is a term used way way too much.

Bosh is an above average player - he's also a total pussy

I think there are about 29 teams in the league that would like to have Bosh.

JDeuce · May 23, 2011

And Boozer is one of the softest, most overpaid forwards in the league. No way he should be making anywhere near what he does. He's the last one who should be calling anyone outs.

Having said that, this series still isn't over. The Bulls only need to win Game 4 to get it back on serve and turn it into a 3-game series with home court advantage. In Game 2, Chicago missed a ton of FTs that wound up being the difference. In Game 3, Bosh overachieved and literally had the night of his life. I still like Chicago's chances if they win Game 4. And they should, because I don't think they'll just roll over and go home down 3-1. Expecting them to come out fighting.

Assuming Miami does get to the finals though, Dallas presents an entirely different set of matchup problems. The Heat have no one who can guard Dirk...he should score at will. Sometimes, regular season results don't mean a lot when it comes to the Finals...but I think it does in this case. There's a reason Dallas beat them twice. Not a good matchup for the Heat.

Miami has totally figured Chicago out offensively last two games. Having only 1 guy who can create his own shot tends to make it easy for an elite defensive team to figure you out.

As far as Miami-Dal, I don't see Dal beating them but I do think if OKC could get their act together they would present some challenges.

Also agree about Boozer, that was a tough break for the Bulls not doing any better than him/Korver/Brewer/Watson in free agency. Should've atleast tried to get Wes Matthews or something..... They just have way too many guys who can only play 1 end of the court.

Bosh is softer than my pillow.

Sorry, when I think of great power forwards of this generation, I think of the big ticket KG and Tim Duncan.
Karl Malone would have owned him on both sides of the floor, McHale was a better PF, but Bird did the scoring on that team, and it might not be a fair comparison because McHale didn't shoot the mid range jumpers like Bosh.

Bosh has a nice midrange jumper,but when talking about the great power forwards, he's in the middle of the pack.

That all depends. For a couple million a year, of course! For them money he is making, no way.

His contract isn't that bad 14mill a year. You could do a lot worse for 14mill.

Ask Chicago, thats what they give Boozer....Its also what they give Korver/Brewer/Watson combined.

jb777 · May 23, 2011

Bosh is a very good player but not by any means is he GREAT.

Agreed, Boozer along with others get on my nerves...just jumping on the hate Bosh bandwagon....Bosh ain't Elite, but he right below it and he been better than Boozer the last 5 years..Boozer needs to quiet down..
As for Bosh. He has had games like this and better in Toronto...I was here to see it....but of course this one counts more than the others....I still believe Chicago can win the series too....its gonna be bittersweet this year tho...I want Cuban, Kidd, Carlye, and Dirk to get a ring...but man its going to be tough, cuz Miami or Chicago will be hell to beat

Nonsense....nobody including Bosh ever said he was in the league of Tim Duncan...This criticism only started when he made the move to South Beach....He has been one of the most consistent power forwards in the game since he came into the league. There ain't a team in the league that did not want him...Only Lebron and Wade were higher on the list....stop that hate...lol......

buddyboy · May 23, 2011

Unless boozer takes his talents to South Beach he'll never wear a ring.

Bosh has a shot of getting at least one.

That's gotta be what's getting under boozers skin

yep...but Chicago has just a legit a chance as anybody....

bukis1 · May 23, 2011

Didn't Bosh say he was overwelmed or scared in game 3 against Boston. Enough said.

Albatross · May 23, 2011

Will Boozer make the HOF? If Bosh is part of a couple (or at least 3 rings) I would say he is a shoe in......regardless of who the cast is in Miami. Boozer needs to keep his mouth shut when talking about his superiors. I personally don't like Bosh, but I do know is a hell of a lot player than Boozer. He needs to worry how to stop Bosh before he goes and starts calling people great. What a chump.
