Chris Bosh has been struggling in Miami's series vs. Indiana, as he's shot just 12-of-33 (36 percent) from the field through the first three games.
Bosh struggling against the Pacers is nothing new, in four regular season games against Indiana this season Bosh averaged just 11.3 points, 5.0 rebounds while shooting 3-of-14 from beyond the arc. However, despite Bosh's ineptitude, Miami has been able to amass a 2-1 lead over the Pacers. Bosh has been the most criticized member of the Big 3 since their coming together in 2010, as he's statistically taken the biggest hit out of the group. But the two rings around his finger are probably much more important to him than the squawking heard by reporters. "I'm not trying to chase [numbers] anymore man," said Bosh. "As long as we win, I'm a happy camper."

Chris Bosh hit just 4-of-12 shots and a 3-pointer for nine points and four rebounds in Saturday's Game 3 win over the Pacers.
Bosh was awful and picked up five fouls and a technical on the night. Despite Bosh's disappearing act, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade carried the Heat to what turned out to be a pretty easy 99-87 win. Game 4 is Monday back in Miami.

Chris Bosh hit 4-of-9 shots and his first 3-pointer of the series for nine points, six rebounds, two steals and a block in Tuesday's Game 2 win over the Pacers.
Bosh spent most of his time on the perimeter, but the Heat and Pacers were pretty much even in the rebounding and free throws attempted columns tonight. The Heat could still use more rebounds and offense from Bosh going forward, but they were able to get the win tonight.

Chris Bosh missed all five shots from deep during a loss to the Pacers on Sunday, making 4-of-12 from the field for nine points with two boards, four assists and one turnover in 32 minutes.
Most of his looks were wide open and he just couldn't get them to fall. Bosh has bounced back from just about all of his underwhelming games and he was shooting a pristine 48.6 percent from deep in the postseason before today's dud, so he'll likely get it turned around on Tuesday.

Chris Bosh has been shooting at a blisteringly hot 48.6 percent on his 3-point shots through the first two rounds of the playoffs, and will look to continue the trend vs. Indiana.
Bosh's ability to spread the floor with his 3-point shot will give the Pacers problems. Roy Hibbert struggled greatly while having to guard Atlanta's stretch-five Pero Antic, and those problems will likely reemerge in a matchup against Chris Bosh. "Obviously on our side it helps when Chris is at the five, being able to spread the floor confidently, like he is now, and being able to hit the threes," Dwayne Wade said. With how mightily the Pacers have struggled against lesser teams throughout the playoffs, most pundits have already penciled in Miami in this year's NBA Finals.

Chris Bosh said the Heat have made sharing the ball a "point of emphasis" against the Nets in the second round of the playoffs.
The Nets swept the Heat in the regular season, thanks in large part to a switching defense that "flattened out" Miami's offense. That wasn't an issue on Tuesday, however, as the Heat dished out 22 assists with only 10 turnovers before coasting to a Game 1 victory. "[When] we have balance like that, we're really difficult to beat," Shane Battier said after the game. "The ball was really hopping."

Chris Bosh (rest) will not play in Wednesday's season finale.
Miami can't change their playoff seeding so it makes sense to rest Bosh and LeBron James. If they face the Bobcats in the first round, which seems likely, Bosh will need all the energy he can muster to slow down the reigning Player of the Month, Al Jefferson.

Chris Bosh will not play against the Wizards on Monday.
He's been great this year and probably doesn't get the credit he deserves. Bosh's added output in 3-point shooting has made him even more dangerous as a scorer, and it's also helped his fantasy value. He could sit out on Wednesday, so he's not a must-own player for fantasy purposes anymore.

Chris Bosh was wearing a T-shirt during Monday's shootaround and he may be rested as a precaution vs. the Wizards.
LeBron James is a prime candidate for a DNP-CD and Mario Chalmers also said "a little rest never hurts," but coach Erik Spoelstra won't announce his lineups until closer to game-time. Anyone relying on Bosh should begin looking for alternatives, though projected fill-ins Udonis Haslem and Shane Battier aren't exactly reliable fantasy options.

Chris Bosh hit just 3-of-11 shots and two 3-pointers for eight points, four rebounds, one assist, three steals and two blocks in Wednesday's loss to the Pacers.
The Heat ran a play that had LeBron James passing to Bosh for an outside shot at the buzzer and down one point, but Bosh wasn't even close on the fadeaway attempt. And on a night when Bosh was shooting it this poorly, and with LeBron on the court, it still doesn't make a lot of sense. Bosh has become a serious 3-point threat, but it's also impacting his inside presence, although Roy Hibbert makes it tough on most opposing centers on a nightly basis.
