Chris Bosh said the Spurs played the best basketball he's ever seen and that the Spurs "dominated" his team.
According to SportVU, the Spurs passed the ball 415 more times than the Heat in just the final three games of the series. The Spurs also had a ridiculous 118.5 offensive rating in the NBA Finals, which crushes Miami's 102.9 defensive efficiency from the regular season. Bosh is expected to stay with the Heat for next season, and should have high-end fantasy value.

Chris Bosh had Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Udonis Haslem over for dinner on Friday night to talk about turning the series around.
Hopefully the dinner was better than his performance in the past two games. Bosh was outstanding earlier in the playoffs, but the Spurs have done a great job at neutralizing him. The Heat will attempt to be the first team to ever come back from a 1-3 deficit in the NBA Finals.

Chris Bosh told the Miami Herald on Thursday that the Heat bringing in Carmelo Anthony is "very, very, unlikely."
Bosh mentioned that he, Lebron, and Wade had never even discussed the possibility of adding the All-Star forward. From a salary cap perspective, all four men would have to sacrifice tens of millions of dollars in order for them to join forces. However, by no means will this rumor go away, and if all four opt out of their current deals, it may only intensify.

Chris Bosh said Tuesday's Game 3 loss was the worst game of Miami's "Big 3" era.
Bosh didn't sugarcoat his thoughts on Tuesday's Game 3 111-92 loss in saying, "I think it was the worst game of the season - probably the worst game we've played together." Bosh hit all four of his field goal attempts on Tuesday, but only finished the game with nine points and three rebounds in 34 minutes. The Heat need to win Thursday night in order to avoid heading back to San Antonio down 3-1 and Bosh, himself, summed it up best saying, "We better get it together or we don't even want to think about what happens."

Chris Bosh made all of his field goal attempts on Tuesday, but he only attempted four shots to finish Miami's Game 3 defeat with nine points, three rebounds and no other stats to his credit.
The Spurs started Boris Diaw over Tiago Splitter, which minimized Bosh's opportunities for wide open perimeter jumpers and sparked a historic Spurs' offensive attack in the first half. Bosh wasn't alone in his struggles, however, as Mario Chalmers scored two points while missing all five of his field goal attempts, Chris Andersen chipped in three points and five rebounds in 20 minutes, and Norris Cole added eight points on 3-of-9 shooting. Former Sonics teammates Rashard Lewis (14 points) and Ray Allen (11 points) both played well, but the Heat will need more balanced contributions to even the series at 2-2 on Thursday.

Chris Bosh responded to his critics in a recent interview stating, "If it doesn't help me, then I don't listen to it... I work hard at my game and that's all that matters."
Erik Spoelstra had this to say when asked about the criticism that Bosh often receives: "It raises the hair on the back of my neck when people question him. He absolutely has championship DNA. It's that mental toughness that comes through because he understands he's going to be criticized from the outside, because of how we ask him to play, which is paramount, that's critical for our success."

Chris Bosh scored 18 points with nine boards, one assist and three 3-pointers on 7-of-11 shooting in 34 minutes.
The Heat frequently went to Bosh in the low post and it worked out nicely on offense. On the other hand, the Heat gave up way too many easy buckets on the other end, which is something they're not used to after going through the Eastern Conference playoffs. Bosh had his best game of the season while LeBron James sat out in Portland earlier this year and he'll have to be a bigger part of the offense if LeBron is less than 100 percent.

Chris Bosh said on Monday that he wants to remain a member of the Miami Heat
Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, and LeBron James can be free agents this summer if they choose, and despite the fact that Wade says they haven't spoken about it, Bosh was a little more forthcoming. "I want to come back. That's OK to say, I think," Bosh said Monday. "I can't speak for anything else and I don't want to take away from the subject at hand, but I like it here. It's Miami. Enough said. People are dying to get here." The Big 3 have said they don't want what may (or may not) happen this summer to distract the team, so we won't get much more clarity on this issue until after the Finals are over.

Chris Bosh said he would be willing to take less money to stay with the Heat when his contract expires next summer.
"Yeah, I mean, I don't want to go anywhere," Bosh said. "I like it here. It's Miami. Everybody wants to come here." The Heat will likely have a similar roster as the Big Three head into the last year of their contracts. Bosh has become a much different player in his time with Miam and he's taking more 3-pointers, which meshes in quite well with the styles of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

Chris Bosh was outstanding in Game 4's win over the Pacers on Monday, scoring 25 points with six boards, one assist, one block and three 3-pointers.
All three of his 3-pointers and 17 of his points came in the first half. Bosh scored nine points in each of the first three games of this series, but he really stepped it up with Chris Andersen (thigh) not playing tonight. His 25 points tonight were the he's scored in these playoffs.
