From Elias Sports Bureau: "Chris Bosh made just one of his 18 field-goal attempts (5.6%) in the Heat's 93-89 loss at Chicago. It was the worst percentage by a player taking at least 15 shots since the Warriors' Tim Hardaway went 0-for-17 in an overtime win at Minnesota on December 27, 1991. The last player to shoot that poorly (minimum 15 FGA) while his team lost by five points or less was the Celtics' Frank Ramsey on December 8, 1960. Ramsey went 0-for-15 in Boston's 118-115 neutral-site loss to the Cincinnati Royals in Philadelphia."

The best parts: 1) the obviously delayed reaction and 2) the Ric Flair-like writhing around on the floor after the non-contact. Even a marshmallow can stand up against no contact. So I can't even call him Boshmallow anymore.
Actually, yes I can.

Seriously everytime one of them, or god forbid, both of them work a game, it's fucking unbearable.
Can anybody actually stand them?
First, you wait for Kevin Harlan to mention that Bosh is only 1 for 14 from the field. Then he'll clank another. You then say, "ONE FOR FIFTEEN!" and then take a shot.
If you look closely, you'll notice the seventh still is indeed a swish...because he hit his seventh shot. Hey, I check these things.
Not soon enough for me.
Reggie also called somebody out for pulling the "World B. Free leg kick" and getting (correctly) called for an offensive foul. Which would have held more weight, really, if Reg hadn't earned most of the FTAs he had in his career by using that very move.
That's what I get for skimming.
A Celtics fan in total denial
Evil Ted is currently working on a response post.
That's what I get for skimming.
I know this site is mostly fart jokes, but if you skim, you will miss the occasionally subtle humor.
Pretty much. This is where you miss Udonis Haslem. 1-17 becomes 1-10. Haslem could go 3-8 and you win that game
Yeah, it's always worth noting that the Haslem injury was a real blow to the Heat.
That said, I'm always leery of the "If this happened, that would have been different" game. It's like people citing Boston's pathetic work on the boards in last year's Game 7 against the Lakers and stating, "If Perk had been there..."
Inserting Player X into a game isn't as simple as saying, "Oh, he would have scored this many points or shot such and such from the field." It's the butterfly effect. There would be many more changes in the game than we can know.

WoTN mention: Kevin Garnett. Sure, he put up a pretty solid 14 and 13. But at one point he got open under the basket and Kenyon Martin tossed him out of bounds to stop him from catching the pass for an easy 2... and he flopped on his way out! Instead of just stumbling, he ended up crumpling in a heap trying to sell it as a flagrant foul. Then he got up, waited for Violet Palmer to be in the way, and started yelling at KMart like he was going to fight.
KG is intense, but IMO he's a fake tough guy. Sure, he'll pick a fight with Jose Calderon, QRich, or Zaza Pachulia, but against anyone even remotely tough (McDyess, Maxiell, KMart) he backs down or waits for someone to be between them before he starts yapping. And really, flopping out of bounds? Weak.
Boozer's airbow is a fuckin sledge hammer.
Maloofs can't handle the fact they got called out by the mayor, and...people are starting to wonder if they have already decided to Clay Bennett the franchise to Anaheim well before now.
"I mean, really it's all about being on TV at the end of the day. ... Seriously, a guy can average (20 points and 10 rebounds) and nobody cares. If you don't see it, it doesn't really happen."
Bosh later tried to "clarify" his original quote:
"Some players will be considered better than others because, if more people see it, than more people will think that that player is better than another, even if the numbers don't match up."
How dem feet taste, Boshmallow?
We already got the Lake Show and the Blake show.
Socal, the Tri-County area (LA,OC and Riverside) has a very established purple and gold identity. If anything we would probably welcome the Clippers in.
But I don't see us pulling behind a losing franchise with a cancerous locker room that might or might not be looking for a new permanent home or just trying to sucker another city into spending hundreds of millions on a new arena.
I wish the Kings would stay in Sacramento but if they do move I reckon San Diego as a better fit.
Mr. Bawful, working chaos theory into basketball. I like it.
I show you gleeful amounts of MAN-LOVE to you by giving the Raptors a win on Wednesday and casting a spell of defecation on Bosh to go 1-18, and act like Mike Ribero (from the Dallas Stars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNw8ZZT8tOU) on TNT.
Thank You
What's so hard about just moving them to Seattle or Vancouver? Areas that actually WANT a team.
LotharBot - That flop out of bounds by KG was really embarrassing, and as soon as it happened I wondered if he'd actually stand up to K-Mart, cause it would definitely not seem to be in his nature to actually stand up to anyone who could hurt him. So when he waited till everyone jumped in between them before he did anything, it wasn't too surprising.
Paul: San Diego isn't a better fit when you consider TWO NBA franchises have failed to work there (the Rockets and Clippers).
Of course, if the Purple Paupers ever leave Sactown, expect this city to get a replacement team the same day Rochester or Omaha does, which is absolutely never.
OK, I'm grumpy mainly because there's a story here about with Kenyon Martin on the "good" side. Plenty of stuff to trash KG about, let's not tell stories where Kenyon "Neck Lips" Martin is a good guy, m'kay?
