Before teaming up with James, both Wade and Bosh were number one options on their respective squads though took a backseat to LeBron. Now void of the former NBA MVP, Jabari Davis expects both Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to have a resurgence with the Miami Heat, at least to start the season.
"Much of what it would take for Miami to make it is contingent upon Wade and Bosh remaining healthy all year. I expect a resurgence from each to start the year, but wonder whether it will last throughout the dog days of late Jan/Feb…"
While the Miami Heat have solid depth, it’s clear they’ve put the franchise on the shoulders of both Bosh and Wade moving forward. That’s not to say the Heat don’t have solid depth, because they do, though Wade and Bosh are their stars and will need to carry the load.
Thankfully between the two of them, that’s something they should be able to do for the Miami Heat and that may help them get through the rough patch in the middle portion of the season that so many seem to struggle with.
