Kevin Martin looks like a waste on the court during the 5 minutes he gets - brings it to midcourt and passes it off to Bosh, and never gets it back - if he does, it's a last second airball lob for him. As for Bosh, he's never really been dominant, but recently like you said, it's nice that he's taken it upon himself to try to end it the last few minutes. This game though, iirc, he missed a ton of FT's and missed a few buzzer beaters. Roy looked great, and for a guy who was said to have already reached his peak at the draft, he looks to be a solid clutch starter. But yeah, Bargnani better get his shat together...it's too frustrating to watch a mobile 7' with a sweet shot not able to drain it or drive every single play.

Even though Bosh missed some early, I really liked his shot choices; I'd much rather see him drive, get to the line, and miss his foul shots, than settle for a mid- or long-range jumper and miss; the whole team is playing better when he drives. Bargnani was invisible... just zero impact on the game. I'm really not sure what to say about him, such a regression from last year. The fact that they're doing okay with Garbajosa and Ford out of the lineup and Bargnani and Kapono both struggling is impressive. This team has a lot of room for improvement just by a couple players on the team getting back to their regular form.
