Bosh had several 30 point games against the Bulls.
He's been a solid jumpshooter and defender in the finals.
he's far from horrible.
He's also not a franchise player.
He's in the same realm as David West, Lamar Odom, Danny Granger, and Andrew Bogut. A very nice player who isn't an elite franchise superstar.

It was nice to see Dallas take the ball to the rim, get fouls, attack the O-glass, and control the tempo.
Game 5 is going to be huge.
If they can limit the turnovers, keep at least 1 of the big 3 in check, and take it inside, I think they have a great chance of winning. But if they get sloppy with the ballhandling and fall in love with the jumpers, like they did in game 3, they'll lose.

Bost is overrated and soft, but understand he, LeBron and Wade all can't score 30 points every single game. Last night Bost had his way offensively in the first half and Wade was torching Dallas in the 2nd, if LeBron went into Kobe-mode and said "Hey, I'm going to try and get mine" we'd be criticizing him for playing selfishly.
The fact that Dallas won with Dirk playing so poorly for the first 3 quarters has to be encouraging - especially wit JET getting his mojo back.
I was not excited at all to watch these finals.
I thought the games would stink and I would hate every minute of them.
I was wrong.
These Finals games so far have been awesome battles, with good defense.
There has been ups and downs, but they have been exciting.
That being said, I still hope the el Heat lose.

No Caron Butler.
Now, no Haywood.
And a flu-ridden Dirk.
If the Mavs win out from here Carlisle would have done a heck of a job putting him instantly in the elite list of coaches. He already has done a great job getting this team to play through adversities. Game 5 will be a big test for him.
Mavs are serious underdogs and are undermanned offensively. They will have to play D and rebound like crazy once again to have a chance. Chandler will have to stay out of foul trouble for 2 more games. To me, Miami looks like it still has the edge. Game 5 is more of a must win for the Mavs than for the Heat.

Bosh is a really good 2nd or 3rd option. He is a knock down shooter, decent rebounder, and can take slower guys off the dribble. He is however very un-clutch. Yeah, he hit the game 3 winner (I was slightly surprised) but he was wide open. He has had a tendency to choke away possessions though in these finals.

Mavs are actually 1.5 point favorite. They did win Game 4 under the same or even worse circumstances. Mavs playing for their season tonight. If they lose tonight it's over. No way they win both games in Miami.

Agree. Skilled but not physically tough. Before hitting the game-winner I wasn't sure if he was mentally tough either.
If you get physical with him in the post he either falls down and loses the ball or gets bailed out by the refs.
