A day after being called out by Toronto Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo, (who insinuated that Chris Bosh had quit on his team last year by not playing through pain) Bosh replied.
” I put my heart and soul into that team.”
“I play this game as hard as I can every time I step on the court,” Bosh said. “On the back of my jersey it says ‘Bosh’ … The Boshes are hard workers. We have a lot of pride in what we do, in our jobs and in life.”
Bosh then went on to say that he was not certain at first if he was even going to leave the Raptors. He disputed that despite claims his bags were packed from day one of free agency it was actually quite difficult to leave.
“Everybody thinks, ‘Oh, he was gone as soon as the season was over,’” he said. “It was the hardest decision I ever had to make. As different as another country is, it was still home for me. I had been there for seven years.”
OK, it’s been a few weeks since LeBron James made his “Decision” on national television, effectively (albeit unintentionally) ripping the heart right out of Cleveland Cavaliers fans everywhere, and simultaneously giving every fan of basketball south of the Florida-Georgia state line a reason to feel like a kid at Christmas who’s just woken up to find he got every present he’d ever dreamed of.
The outrage over the “Decision” didn’t just come from Cavaliers fans, either.
Many fans along with “so called experts” out there are saying Miami’s lack of a bench will be a problem. That it will prevent the Heat from securing the Eastern Conferences top seed. This same group then exclaims that Miami’s lack of depth will become an even larger issue come playoff time.
Imagine what this team is going to be like on a daily basis. Think of the excitement and energy. Some question whether we’ll be able to play D against a guy like Dwight Howard. Valid point but the real question is how are teams going to play D against us?
It’s called Miami-Wade County for a reason . A brand that’s bigger than the team itself, a name that represents an entire city’s love for basketball defined by one statement.
Dwyane Wade has lifted the city of Miami on his back time and again until it reached the pinnacle of the sport in 2006. In years past Wade has drawn comparisons to others who were the central sports figures in their cities such as, LeBron James in Cleveland and Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles with some references even being made to Michael Jordan in Chicago .

According to Yahoo Sports Eddie House is now a member of the Miami Heat, again. Mark Bartelstein (Eddie’s agent), told Yahoo! Sports on Thursday that the 32-year-old guard and Miami agreed on a two-year contract for $2.8 million.
House was originally drafted by Miami and played his first 3 NBA seasons with the Heat.
Eddie gives Miami a potent scorer coming off the bench. He was also Pat Riley’s daughters favorite player during his time on the team. Riley’s daughter along with many Heat fans used to chant or bring signs stating “Free Eddie House” in an attempt to get him off the bench and on to the court more often.
While his playing time may be limited with Miami once more, House is a player who has grown accustomed to being a role player that comes off the bench when scoring is needed.
Also getting word that Tracy McGrady to the Heat is starting to pick up some steam.
Chris Bosh appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s show Tuesday Night and vowed to give $20 to the “After School All Stars” program for every rebound he grabs next season.
A fan was escorted out of the New York Yankees vs Cleveland Indians game last night for wearing a LeBron James Heat jersey. Now seriously the guy did look goofy with the under armour and tilted cap to match but come on is this not still America. Aren’t we free to wear whatever we want? Do the Cleveland Indians now have a policy stating “No LeBron jerseys allowed at games”? This is just down right dumb. I’ve seen much more obnoxious and problem provoking drunk fans at games who throw items and scream obscenities with children nearby. Yet security felt the need to remove the young man and his female companion from the left field bleachers just for showing his support for LeBron. I guess there will be witch hunts in Cleveland for those individuals who refuse to cease being fans of James. The best part was the Yankees fan defending the guy sporting the Heat #6 jersey. Who’d of thunk it New York and Miami fans sticking up for one another. Further proof that the Miami Heat are now viewed as the Evil Empire of the NBA….
The Miami Heat are rewarding Kenny Hasbrouck’s Summer League Play with a contract and camp invitation.
The contract which is not guaranteed will enable Hasbrouck to collect some money for the time he has spent with Miami since the latter part of last season and into the summer.
Hasbrouck is a potent scorer who played college ball at Siena. He was one of the main contributors in Las Vegas for Miami, averaging 13.6 points per game while shooting 49.0 percent from the field and 45.0 percent from three-point range.
Despite his ability to score Hasbrouck is expected to be a long shot to make the cut from 20 to 15 players at the end of camp.
