If Chris Bosh continues to struggle from the field, should Coach Spo consider playing Rashard Lewis ?

Might sound like a stretch, but hear me out.

If Bosh continues to miss open jump shot after open jump shot, the Heat are going to have a real tough time winning this series. The more Bosh struggles, the more his defender can sag off and give help to whoever is guarding Wade and LeBron. So even though LeBron might have been too passive in the 2nd half, can you really fault him that much? After all, Chris Bosh IS wide open.

At least with Rashard Lewis, you have a guy who can hit the 3 ball. He might be a former shell of what he was, but Lewis can still shoot, something Bosh is obviously struggling to do right now. And defensively, is Lewis going to be any worse than Bosh? Probably not.

It might sound odd to bench a guy making that much money, but Bosh is a liability right now. You can't have guys on the floor in crunch time who the defenders don't need to pay attention to.

So, what do you think?

    He probably already has considered playing Lewis. He decided against playing him because Lewis stinks at this point of his career. Can't bench Bosh for Lewis.

    I think this might not even be a series is Bosh can be close to a 505 shooter, with that being said, if Heat did not have those costly turnovers which resulted in points then the Heat would have won but I think the Heat when it gets close that they need to attack the paint which will open up the 3 point shots but these shooters has to start hitting those shots

    No. Rashard Lewis is bad.

    I think they need to get rid of JJ Hickson (AKA Chris Bosh)
