James and Bosh are working on chemistry

I read an article today from the Miami Herald discussing the relationship between Bosh and James. The article states that both during and after the Nets game, Bosh took time to talk to LeBron and express the fact that he feels a little lost at times during games. Bosh tells the media that the process of playing together is not going as smoothly as originally planned, and he just wanted to try and get more comfortable with the offense.


Do not be alarmed! The Miami heat are only beginning to play with each other for the most part and it is commonplace that in the beginning of the season, some players will have to work a little harder to find their comfort zone. This is great for the team. In order for this organization to function at full capacity, a few big time players are going to have to swallow their pride and ask for help once and a while. It was pretty obvious at times that Bosh was lost out their on the court, and was not seeming to sync up with Wade or James. I am glad he addressed the problem and is working toward improvement.

Bosh's communication with James was a great example of team work. I don't know many players in the league that have been as hyped up as Bosh, Wade, and James. For Bosh to come out and openly admit he is getting stuck at times, well, thats a big step.

I, however, think Bosh is doing a great job as of late. He is finding his niche within the Miami offense, and making himself known on defense. A lot of people are going to be skeptical over Bosh this season, as they will also be with James and Wade. It takes a big man to do what Bosh did, and hopefully him and James can learn from this experience and begin to play off each other more efficiently.

Overall, I think that Bosh is at his best when he just plays the game. When you spend all this time thinking about what you have to do, your going to spend more time thinking than actually playing. I know there is a lot of pressure from Miami, the media, and the rest of the league, but Bosh needs to just relax and play HIS game. These three men are good enough that they can all bring their own individual style to the table, and still be able to gel. Sure, they will all score less. However, the team will score much more as whole.



I think its scary to think that the Heat can blow out teams like Orlando when they are only at about 75 percent in terms of cohesion. If they can get themselves going at full throttle by late January, their will be no answer in the NBA to the question, "Who can beat the Heat?".
