That stinks. Too many injuries in the playoffs this year.

Yep, quite a few teams hit hard.

Not that this is good at all for the Heat, but in a way it's good for Lebron. If he wins a championship this year without Bosh I think he'll get some cred from people that he normally wouldn't receive.

Not suggesting that Lebron gives a shit about that, though. Obviously he wants Bosh on the court, but he can still make this work.

The Heat don't need Chris Bosh to beat any of the remaining teams in the East, anyway. He's a glorified role player for the Heat who isn't clutch or tough at all. LeBron and Wade will certainly be enough until the Finals.

Rose knee injury will keep him out until at least January.

I don't think the Heat are interested in just going to the finals.

LeBron and Wade are good enough that they can probably handle themselves there too, but it would nice to have a player with Bosh's talent around then if LeBron decides he wants to choke again.

I think LeBron is ready to take the next step, but I'm not sure his team will be in position for him to make that play without Bosh.

You really think Miami is going to have significant problems knocking out the Pacers or Celtics? Don't see it at all.

No, I'm talking about the finals. Though, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. I'd say the Heat are about 90% to go to the finals without Bosh. Boston could step up, but there is a small chance.

I don't think Miami beats SA or OKC without Bosh. In fact, I wouldn't favor them with Bosh. Not to say they have no chance because LeBron is the most talented player in the league and may be ready to break through.
