So last blog I talked about how Miami, even sans ‘big 3′ (or in this case, without Wade and Bron), is still looking like a cohesive, dangerous team.
So of course this game against the Hawks comes and it’s Bosh looking like a legit all-world talent out there (33 points & 14 boards) and Chalmers making clutch play after clutch play. Clearly, this team made it to the finals for a reason and the scope of it goes beyond the ‘Big 3′.
With Haslem contributing double-digit rebounds as well as James Jones and Norris Cole’s overall production so far this season, this team has some interesting dynamics working for it and looks like a very functioning unit overall.
Bosh was excellent with his scoring in the clutch and overtime.
With time winding down in the 4th quarter, Bosh stepped up with a huge 3-point splashdown to force OT.
Chalmers’ 29 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, was a major option as he burned ATL’s defense late with good decision making and some decent passing.
Terrel Harris stepped in and had 14 rebounds at the guard position.
At 3OT’s, it was a test of athletic endurance and Miami won it.
Barkley’s full of it.
Trade Wade and LeBron
