Is it me or whenever they show a close-up of Frye, his haircut looks mad not complete, like the back isn't faded evenly with the front and sides, like dude has an accidental shag.

Le Batard: Chris Bosh pressuring Miami Heat to let him play

There continues to silence from the Heat about Chris Bosh’s status other than to say he remains out indefinitely as the team continues in the NBA playoffs. He has not played since stepping down at the All-Star break with an apparent blood clot in his calf.

Bosh, however, hasn’t exactly been quiet. He issued a statement in March saying he was optimistic about playing again this season, released a video of himself shooting jumpers in the arena with the message “still got it” and his wife, Adrienne, started a Twitter hashtag #BringBoshBack.

Those could all be reasonably considered subtle indications that Bosh wants to play, and ESPN Radio’s Dan Le Batard reported on his show today that is the case. He also said that Bosh has a doctor who might clear him.

“This is complicated and it’s not great,” Le Batard said. “They are not in agreement here. The two sides—This runs the risk of getting problematic here at a bad time, because Chris Bosh wants on the court… It’s obvious that Chris Bosh wants on the court and that he’s pressuring the organization…and that his wife is pressuring the organization. They were wearing the #BringBoshBack shirts (Sunday). There is a tension happening.

“I don’t know exactly what to believe here, OK, but I do trust the organization and I trust the people in the organization who tell me things because I’ve never been lied to by them about much of anything. They’re telling me that they’re protecting him from him, but he doesn’t feel any symptoms. This doesn’t feel like the last time. All the doctors the Heat are talking to are saying, and they’re the foremost authorities on this stuff, ‘Hey, a second recurrence of a blood clot situation could be catastrophic, where you’ve got a death on the court.’”

Le Batard added that the Bosh family is trying to get the NBPA involved to allow him to play again.

“They’ve scoured the globe trying to find the doctor who will clear them and they’ve got someone that they feel comfortable about, but that does not pair against the number of other opinions on the other side,” Le Batard said. “They’ve got someone that they feel comfortable with who’s willing to allow him to take the risk, but getting one guy…

“One of the things is, he’s not feeling anything. The last time, he felt really cruddy. So he’s looking at this and saying, ‘Why am I not out there? I feel fine. I’m good.’ They’ve got one (doctor) telling them the thing they want to hear… This thing is complicated.”

Bosh agent Henry Thomas and the Miami Heat did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Cavs have looked good for some time now before the playoffs. Especially LeBron.

 

[bballkid11]

I mean they look good....but they aren't creating a ton of separation either. Either round.

 

[619destroyer858]

Cavs will fly out pretty soon
