Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat are finally on the same page regarding his health. We think. Maybe. The latter part of Bosh’s season was cut short this year due to another blood clot issue. He missed the end of the 2014-15 campaign for a similar issue. For a while, it wasn’t clear if he [...]

The Miami Heat are limping through the NBA postseason at this point, with all-star forward/center Chris Bosh and double-double machine Hassan Whiteside currently sidelined.
