He played 42 minutes against the Warriors and Sixers. Now granted, the Golden State game did go into OT. But considering how heavy his workload has been the past couple years with his Team USA commitment, how worried are you about Bosh breaking down towards the end of the year? Despite our bolstered frontcourt, we're as dependant on Bosh as we've ever been. And I don't think Smitch will limit his minutes if he's producing as great as he's been so far.
If Bargnani can play at the level he did last night against GS or even higher than I think Bosh's workload will teeter off as the year goes on. Having JO and Andrea for long stretches of the game isnt that bad.
I would love to see Hump get 15-20 mins every 3-4 games. He has shown he can bang inside, can grab boards, and can clean up the garbage around the bucket. I can't seem to help think that smitch doesn't like him though....
Hump played three minutes versus the Bucks. The Raps really need to be able to get, like norespect said, good decent chunk of minutes every couple of games. Maybe we see Jawai but I don't think that's happening anytime soon. He's in one of those "we're waiting for test results" situations that can stay in limbo for a while. Andrea's offense has been so hot and cold but if he can get that straight, ideally he'd be the guy to eat a bitch load of minutes.
His improved D and rebounding pretty much guarantees he'll be good for 15 minutes a game, unlike last year when it was up in the air ever night. But I agree on his offense. Andrea's got to realize he's one of our best offensive weapons and the only player who can create for himself on our bench. He has to understand that, at times, he's the best player on the floor and should be more assertive.
Yes, absolutely it will. Bosh isn't a workhorse. O'Neal needs to stay in the game and start taking some pressure off Bosh offensively.
