The Heat just aren’t the same without Chris Bosh, and Spoelstra knows this. The guy that Spo routinely referred to as the key piece in Miami’s championship teams, Bosh brought an intensity and feeling of urgency to an exhibition game (even once getting upset with himself for missing a jumper).

Five of Bosh’s first seven points came at the rim–something Bosh and Spo wanted to focus on this season. If Bosh has his way, he won’t just be a jump shooter this year.
