The season has to be extended in order for me to play again, Bosh said. Heat star player and 2011-2012 NBA Most Valuable Player LeBronJames said the Heat are not planning to have Bosh back until thenext round, if the Heat make it that far. We're moving on as though he doesn't return this series, Jamessaid. Guys will have to fill their roles. Centrifugal Transfer Pump
It's not deflating forus. It does stink, but we look forward to the challenge. Bosh averaged 18 points and 7.9 rebounds a game during the seasonand will be missed inside on defense as well. James will likely see more time at power forward in Bosh's absence,with the pressure on James and guard Dwyane Wade to ignite ascoring spark for the Heat. Juice Separator Manufacturer
It is unfortunate Chris went down, Wade said. Frenchman Ronny Turiaf and Joel Anthony will probably get moreplaying time for the Heat with Bosh on the sidelines. Bosh, who had 13 points and five rebounds on Sunday, slammed down adunk 66 seconds before half-time but landed awkwardly on the court,left the game after making two free throws and did not return. This is something we are taking day by day, Bosh said. It'snot the worst thing that could happen and that's the good news.Nothing would surprise me.
The Heat are the top remaining seed in the East playoffs after thefirst-round elimination of Chicago by bottom-seed Philadelphia. The Bulls were undone after losing playmaker Derrick Rose, lastseason's NBA Most Valuable Player, to an injury in their playoffopener.
