Chris Bosh has been fined $5,000 for his flop during Thursday's Game 4 win over the Spurs.
With 6:07 left in the second quarter, Gary Neal drove up the right side of the lane. Tim Duncan had Bosh perfectly sealed, but a wild flop from Bosh drew an offensive foul call. Unfortunately for the Spurs, $5,000 won't hurt Bosh and the admission of a flop won't put Neal's points back on the board. Bosh made $17.545 million this season. Jun 14 - 4:05 PM

Chris Bosh - F/C - Heat

Chris Bosh has put his Miami home up for sale but said he's still planning to stay with the Heat for the rest of his career.

Bosh can opt out of his contract after next season and was recently the subject of a trade rumor involving the Bobcats. That rumor was debunked by the Charlotte Observer, however, and Bosh said the sale decision was made for family reasons. It's worth noting that Bosh's home was recently burglarized and hundreds of thousands of dollars in jewelry, purses and cash was taken from the house. We're sure there are some people who will read into this way too much, but we'll take Bosh at his word.

Chris Bosh - F/C - Heat

Writing about an unconfirmed rumor that stated the Bobcats could be interested in trading for Chris Bosh, the Charlotte Observer does not expect the team to make such a move.

Rick Bonnell, the team's beat writer, writes that it would make "little sense" to acquire Bosh, and we agree. Yes, Charlotte has cap space to work with, but the team needs to work on its player development and commit to developing their young core rather than bring in an overpriced big man who won't change the culture of the team. The scenario is longer than a long shot.

Chris Bosh - F/C - Heat

The Charlotte Bobcats could look to trade their fourth pick in the draft for Chris Bosh.

This is just a rumor for now and perhaps Chris Bosh being criticized for taking a 3-pointer with one minute left in a four-point game on Thursday may have fueled this speculation. The Bobcats are under the cap and have room for Bosh and they also have the worst frontcourt in the NBA by a mile. It's very unlikely to happen, but Bosh's fantasy value would see a major boost with the Bobbies.

Chris Bosh - F/C - Heat

Erik Spoelstra wants Chris Bosh to play in the paint more in Game 2.

During the 2012-13 season, Bosh attempted more 3-pointers and fewer shots at the rim than he ever had in his 10-year career. His jumpshooting was magnified in Game 1 as the Spurs ignored him, choosing instead to blitz LeBron James, but Bosh went 6-of-16 from the field with only four attempts in the paint. "Wherever CB demands the ball in the post, we'll give it to him," said LeBron. "We need that paint attack from him."

Chris Bosh - F/C - Heat

Chris Bosh missed all four 3-point attempts in Thursday's Game 1 loss to the Spurs, scoring 13 points with five boards, one assist, three steals, one block and one turnover in 35 minutes.

Bosh is going to catch some heat for missing a wide-open triple with one minute left and Miami down four points. While Bosh has been effective from deep in the playoffs, making 48.4 percent from downtown, he's not exactly the type of guy that should be taking such a huge shot and already missing his previous three attempts in the game doesn't help his case either. He also went cold in the second half with eight of his 10 misses coming after halftime. He only hit one shot from inside 15 feet, which is something Miami may need to change in Game 2 on Sunday.

Chris Bosh - F/C - Heat

Chris Bosh wore a wrap around his sprained right ankle prior to Game 6 on Saturday, and he said afterward that his "rhythm seems off."

Bosh shot 1-of-8 from the field for five points, four rebounds and three turnovers, as Roy Hibbert ran over him all night long. He's averaging a measly 6.7 points in the past three games and Miami desperately needs him to make his presence felt in Monday's Game 7. LeBron James said it best after Saturday's loss, saying in reference to Bosh and Dwyane Wade, "We can state the obvious: They're both struggling."

Chris Bosh said he tweaked his ankle on the opening tip of Thursday's Game 5 win over the Pacers.

Bosh is in no danger of missing time, but he has been playing on a gimpy wheel for the past two games. During that time, he's averaging just 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds. The Heat are going to need more from Bosh if they're going to win in Indiana Saturday night.

Chris Bosh - F/C - Heat

Chris Bosh and LeBron James will not be inhibited by their ankle injuries and each will start Game 5 vs. the Pacers.

Each had a "tweaked" ankle following a Game 4 loss to the Pacers, but neither was in jeopardy of missing time at this stage of the season. They'll be out there for Game 5.

Erik Spoelstra said the Heat had "no update" on Chris Bosh (ankle) on Wednesday.

Bosh tweaked his ankle in Game 4 and the fact the team isn't providing an update could be an indication that it's still bothering him. Miami is still gathering information, but it would be a fairly large surprise if he's unable to play in a critical Game 5.

Chris Bosh - F/C - Heat

Chris Bosh scored 17 points with five boards, one assist, one steal and two 3-pointers in 37 minutes on Friday.

He's playing very well in the postseason and shooting 52 percent from the field in the three series. Interestingly, Bosh has been dynamite in knocking down triples, making 47 percent of his 34 attempts from downtown over the past two postseasons.

Chris Bosh will not change his approach on the inside when battling for rebounds.

"Boxing out, there’s a bunch of different techniques you can use and everything," Bosh said. "I’ve really been searching this season to find what works best for me and a lot of times I’m in situations where people only pay attention to numbers. I never really got caught up in that. I just wanted to do whatever it took to help this team win." Bosh's contributions are often overlooked, but there's no doubting his importance to the Heat.

Chris Bosh's strong effort from Friday carried over into Monday's win over the Bulls, shooting 7-of-10 from the field for 14 points with six boards, one assist, one steal and four blocks in 35 minutes.

Bosh put up 20 points on Friday and his game is clicking at the right time. He's shot at least 50 percent in six of the eight playoff games to go with an impressive 2.0 blocks per game on the other end this postseason. With Dwyane Wade hurting a bit, Bosh stepping up could go a long way.

Chris Bosh - F/C - Heat

Chris Bosh set a new career playoff high with 19 boards in Friday's triumph over the Bulls to go with 20 points, four assists, one steal, two blocks and one 3-pointer in 42 minutes.

He came to play tonight and the Heat went to him a bunch more on offense -- especially in the first half. Bosh averaged just 7.2 boards per game in his previous six playoffs games this year, so this was certainly an unexpected outburst.

Chris Bosh - F/C - Heat

Chris Bosh shot 3-of-10 from the field for nine points with six boards, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 28 minutes.

He had a good series against the Bucks, making 53.8 percent from the field, but obviously Tom Thibodeau's Bulls are a much more worthy adversary. Bosh had a solid year against the Bulls in his four games, but he'll need to turn it around a bit for Miami to not get stunned again.
