lets bury this argument..BOSH>>>>AMARE

[Malta]

LMA is a really good PNR defender too in his own right too. Also, the reason why LMA ain't scoring more points in the paint is due to having a new coach from the Mav's and he has LMA playing more like Nowitski and is shooting more outside shots. Of course Bosh is gonna play less minutes with a loaded Heat squad, he doesn't have to play much minutes and not carrying the load being the 2nd or 3rd option. And LMA is a much better post player.

He didn't score more points in the paint last year than Bosh did with the Raptors, hell Bosh scores more buckets inside the paint now than LA does. You're making LA out to be some great post player, when the fact of the matter is he's just decent. He scores in much the same way Bosh did with the Raptors, except he's not as good at pressuring a defense, hence the low amount of freethrows. He's the quintessential "let the defender off the hook" type of player, how do you take 19 shots a game and only go to the line 5 times?

And of course Bosh is gonna be more efficient, he doesn't have to carry a team and Lebron is always gonna hook him up and make everything for him and the team easier on him.

Come on, Bosh was more efficient with the Raptors than Aldridge is now, Bosh has several seasons where he was better as a number 1 option than LA's best year.

Whereas LMA is the "guy" with no bench and has to play heavy minutes, so he has to work for his shots a lot more than Bosh and sees more double teams and teams game planning more against him. While Bosh doesn't see much double teams and playing in a nice system. You really don't think that LMA wouldn't be as efficient or better if he wasn't playing for the Heat with Bron causing all the attention he gets?

You're glazing over the fact Bosh scored 24ppg with the Raptors on 16 shots a game. Would Aldridge be more efficient, sure, but the problem here is that Bosh was more efficient than Aldridge when he didn't have LeBron. Bosh last year with the Raptors was 24ppg on 52% shooting, where was Bron to help him do that? He got to the line almost 9 times a game that year and less of his shots were assisted than Aldridges are now. You're talking about Bosh as though we've never seen him as a number 1, he was better than Aldridge and he's better than him today. We also saw Bosh last year against the Hawks without Bron or Wade, 33/14/5/2/2 and could not be stopped.

Let's not even get into rebounding either, Aldridge has never even come close to sniffing a double double for a season, Bosh did it 3 times. Everyone calls Bosh soft, and the Heat need better rebounders, imagine if they had LA's allergic to rebounding ass instead of Bosh

many people don't understand how great bosh was that final year. He was one of if not the best offensive big in the game and driving by/step back j'n everyone on his iso's. That shyt didn't die just because he moved to miami, he just modified his game to be more winning-friendly and workable with lbj/wade

 

[seemorecizzy]

yall have some short ass memories
amare in phoniex and amare on the knicks his first year is better den bosh
look at some of da numbers he was putttin up in phoniex and how dominant he was

nash had to run to kobe after 2 years without stat

bosh avg 24 and 9 IN TORONTO In A Contract year and didnt even make da playoffs in da east.

bosh got put ahead of amare because of his relationship with wade and because cacs always attributed amare's success to nash and dat shyt was quickly squashed when he came to ny.
ppl were clownin bosh every day when da big three was formed, callin him the third wheel and two and a half man etc etc

bosh is better than amare now because of injuries
doesnt hurt that he's third in command behind lebron and wade

hes gotton alot better or atleast looks alot better now that hes not da number 1 option but lets not forget how much of a beast stat was in his prime

[Greenhornet]

as a former suns fan ... amare was never dope ... maybe I missed him doing something amazing

 

[NatiboyB]

No one has ever said this that I recall. Bosh was pretty much thought to be better.

Bosh vs Amare was never a debate. Sh!t Matrix was the better player in Phoenix..more rebounds, blocks, steals and no plays ran for him.

Bosh has always been good, his game just appears as if it leaves more to be desired. He's a great on-the-ball defender, great high-post, a solid post game can pass out of the double team. I think in Toronto, he should've worked on posting up more. he started falling in love with the jumper and really hasn't looked the same since.

As for Aldridge, I'm not a huge fan of his game. He's good at a lot but nothing exceptional. He's a pick-n-pop player; I really need to see him go to work on the blocks or in an isolation. And he's not really a good passer out of the double team.

Bosh isn't a great #1 option but he is a great 1a/b option. You can give him the ball and clear out for him to score. You just can't get far with him as your sole franchise player. Aldridge is a #2 , maybe best suited as a #3 .

Pre Knee inury Amare >>> Bosh

people forgot about Amare killing prime duncan in the playoffs before those surgeries set. Dude was an athletic marvel on a team that went deep in the playoffs thanks to his health.

maybe not lately. but on the old site, this thread would have the op laughed out of the coli. like 90% of people had amare over bosh.

times (and tunes) are a-changin', i guess.

 

[Boolean]

the assassination of Amare's character in here is rediculous

 

[kingofnyc]

[Roid Jones]
