Miami Heat: Chris Bosh No Longer Heat’s Third Wheel

Miami Heat Forward Chris Bosh Plays big in Heat’s Game 3 Win over Bulls

It’s official: we can no longer disrespect Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh.

Ever since Bosh teamed up with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, he’s been disrespected.

People have called the Heat “The big Two,” effectively slighting Bosh, and he’s basically been deemed nothing more than a role player in contrast to James and Wade.

But how quickly we forget that Bosh was a star before coming to Miami. then, just because he teams up with two superstars, he’s diminished as a player.

Bosh is the same player as he’s always been, folks. We just haven’t noticed.

In Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls, Bosh merely scored 34 points on 13-of-18 shooting. not only that, he finished 13-of-15 from the floor. He was a big part of the Heat’s 96-85 win, and a big reason they are now ahead in the series, 2-1.

Bosh’s demeanor throughout the season and the playoffs has also compared favorably to Wade and James.’ Despite all the hate and hoopla, Bosh has stayed calm and focused (with the exception of that Game 3 against the Boston Celtics).

He’s been the model of a team player, a humble player and a player who knows his role, which is more than can be said about some star athletes.

But Bosh doesn’t mind.

Keep on ignoring him.

He’ll calmly continue to burn you.

    Fun, informal, cheap Bar(s) to have my Birthday in Manhattan-I'm 24.?

    My birthday is one week and I am trying to find somewhere/something to have a gathering of people. I'm not totally set on a bar but I figure it's what people my age (24) do. (Plus, it's easy and sociable)
    I've been looking at lower east side area so we can bar-hop.
    Looking for a place where I can dance but also a "quiet spot" where the music is not drowning everything out. (There has to be places like this)
    I'm NOT into sports and bad pop music.
    Cheap, informal and a big enough space to breathe. I know there are tons of places out there but I could use some opinions, ideas, etc!
    Thanks so much!!
    I'm into weird fun, stuff and I like sangira (as well as other drinks)

    Find an irish pub…..yep. thank you for the 10 points!

      What are the best 3 school districts in Houston, Texas?

      I want districts with 30000+ children Examples- Cy-Fair ISD, Houston ISD etc.
      Give me the reason you chose it plz.

      Katy ISD, Cypress-Fairbanks, and the southern half of Spring Branch ISD are all well above average. Forget pretty much anything in HISD.

      Um, tell us why we're supposed to guess closest to your picks? that would make this question unnecessary, wouldn't it?

      I dont' think any of us are that hard up for 10 points.

      HISD is okay but only certain schools, Katy & the Woodlands (whatever it's called).

      I don't care about the points. Memorial is the best public school. Stratford, Katy and Bellaire are some other good high schools.

      I have been very impressed with the Woodlands schools. They are all rated exemplary and have so many extra curricular activities, sports (even Ice Hockey). You name it they have it.

      Down fall is it is in Conroe ISD which includes other areas other than the Woodlands. So if you were to judge Conroe isd on a whole the scores are lower because of the lower funded schools.
      http://www.conroeisd.net/

      I'd say Bellaire , Katy ,and Spring Branch.

      Fort Bend ISD is a good district. A couple of my friends teach there and they love it.

      go to realtor.com, enter the city, and look up the school zoning info.

      Cyfair, Katy and Clear Creek. all very high rated check out www.greatschools.org they will rate them for you tell you all kinds of stuff about the school That's how i decided where to live. I wanted my kid in a school district. A realitor will tell you what she wants to make the sell remember they work on commission. HISD is the absolute worse.! Trust me I'm a product of the.

      They all bite. Try private school. Cy fair, Klein, HISD are all underfunded & overcrowded. Actually most are except maybe Katy ISD or Clear Creek.

      What are the best 3 school districts in Houston, Texas?

        Exergaming & The River Gym

        When exercise, gaming and clean energy generation come together

        GAMERS are subjected to a cruel stereo­type that we all live in our parents’ basement and are rendered lifeless if exposed to direct sunlight. while most games are not physically demanding, there is a growing market for exercise gaming — known more commonly as “exergaming”.

        The Playstation and Wii are at the forefront of exercise gaming — having released several titles and peripherals that encourage gamers to get a good cardiovascular workout. many also offer calorie counters, which let you know exactly what you’re burning while you play.

        Exergaming relies on technology that tracks body movement or reaction. Exergames are seen as evolving from technology changes aimed at making video games more fun and healthy at the same time.

        After the huge success of titles such as Just Dance and Wii Sports Resort, the growing market and appeal of exercise gaming has spawned a whole army of peripherals and new game genres – enough to start your own interactive gym.

        Many Wii games feature some sort of motion sensor controls, which read and track your movements as you play. there are now even horror-action titles, such as Silent Hill Shattered Memories that require players to swim, fend off attackers and move objects with wild flailing movements.

        Motion sensor technology combined with gaming has become a hot topic over the last few years and got hotter with the announcement that both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 would be joining the Nintendo Wii in offering “motion” gaming. the implementation of these features will enable both these popular platforms to offer titles in the new “gaming as exercise” trend.

        The Wii Fit is certainly a winner which helped to pioneer the gaming as exercise trend. It has not only sold over 20 million copies to date, but has taken things further by offering extra exercise gaming peripherals.

        In 2009 the Wii CyberBike was released — the first video game to be bundled with a full-sized exercise bike. the visual stimulation coupled with the Cyberbike may see you clearing roads of pollution and traversing by land, sea and air over 18 different circuits.

        This may not be for everyone, but then again neither is the gym. If you plan on buying an exercise bike anyway and like the sound of the additional gaming incentive, then the Cyberbike may be a good, modern choice.

        If simple exercise isn’t enough to get your heart pounding, there are emerging possibilities of having the energy you expend by exergaming captured and put to good use. It is already possible to power a Playstation and small home appliances with exercise, but this tends to be an archetypal “hamster in a wheel” approach.

        The River Gym

        The River Gym, off the Hudson and East Rivers in New York, is a floating vessel of fitness that harnesses renewable energy from burnt-off calories. the plan is to have River Gym “pods” that would offer a range of exercise equipment capable of converting energy derived from human motion into usable electric energy stored in on-board batteries.

        “The vessels would be fitted with water purification devices to combat pollution and would also be capable of carrying additional passengers and commuters, thereby easing the burden of ferry lines as well as varying the intensity of the exercise” — www.gizmag.com

        The River Gym also promises “the obvious benefits of exercise and eco-credentials” along with spectacular panoramic views of New York – an experience that “far surpasses the bland tedium of a conventional gymnasium”.

        Of course, it would only be fair that membership for a River Gym would be free considering that users would be creating vast amounts of usable energy by breaking a sweat. Perhaps some free, on-board entertainment sponsored by Nintendo is in order?
