I imagine there are as many actors, actresses and captains of industry who’d have the same kind of jewelry and excessive natures that athletes do. Sucks that he was robbed but the narcissistic tendencies of Mr. Bosh are well known (the guy did a TV show about getting a tattoo for gawd sake!) so I’m not at all surprised at the public presentation of what should probably have been a private birthday celebration. But I could have some camels hanging around Casa Doug, that’d be cool. Toronto Star

The Heat are hopeful Bosh could be back for Tuesday's home game against Milwaukee, but Spoelstra has repeatedly said the team is more focused on having its primary rotation players rejuvenated for the playoffs. In addition to James, Wade and Bosh, guards Mario Chalmers and Ray Allen have missed recent games with lingering ankle injuries, although both played Saturday. ESPN.com

Here's the case report from the Miami Beach Police Department concerning the burglary at Chris Bosh's home on Wednesday night. The report states that at least $479,000 in total property and cash was taken from Bosh's home. Five people were in the house at the time of the burglary, according to the report: Two babysitters, a teenager and Bosh's two children. At practice on Thursday, Bosh was concerned about the loss of property but indicated that he's confident police will get to the bottom of what happened. "Things can happen quickly but like I keep saying, no matter how long we’re gone or no matter how what, you have to handle things a certain way," Bosh said. "We’ve always done that and always had necessary surveillance and everything to make sure that even if something is missing we’ll know what happened.” Miami Herald

Chris Bosh’s home was robbed while he was celebrating his birthday. Robbers made off with somewhere around $340,000 worth of merchandise. Earlier we learned that the party included fire-breathers and a camel named Henri. Now we have a look at the cake. Yes, that is a tiny Chris Bosh wearing what appears to be a turban, riding a chocolate elephant. This wasn’t the first time that Divine Delicacies has teamed up with the Bosh family. Last Thanksgiving they made him a turkey cake for their charity, Team Tomorrow. The Big Lead

Thieves made off with an estimated $340,000 in jewelry from Miami Heat star Chris Bosh's home while he was out celebrating his birthday. Miami Beach police say Bosh called them about 12:30 a.m. Thursday after he and his wife returned from his well- publicized party at South Beach's Bamboo nightclub. The couple noticed a jewelry drawer was open and numerous watches, rings and purses were missing. Police say there was no sign of forced entry at the Bosh home. Also some easily recognizable items such as Bosh's Heat championship ring were left behind. ESPN.com

Heat forward Chris Bosh hit a game-winning three-pointer from atop the key with 1.1 seconds left, and Parker missed a floater from the right side at the buzzer in Miami's 88-86 win. The most unique of circumstances, yet again, prevented the possible NBA Finals preview that so many anticipated, but it was a statement game of different sorts nonetheless as the Spurs lost on their home floor for just the fifth time in 37 games. Bosh made the most of his rare offensive freedom, finishing with 23 points on 9 of 15 shooting. The Heat, who are now three games ahead of the Spurs for the best record in the league, celebrated as if it was a playoff win on the AT&T Center floor afterward. And while James and Wade watched the game from inside the visitors locker room, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said their respective injuries didn't prevent them from joining in on the frivolity. "Yeah, they were tackling everybody on their way to the locker room," he said when asked about their reaction. "They didn't get hurt." James didn't talk to reporters, but he shared his view on Twitter. "Man i love my teammates!!!," he wrote. "Big time win. @chrisbosh big time shot! #Heatles." USA Today Sports

I watched Chris Bosh his first year in Miami tell a coach, who was trying to teach him something, “Nah, that’s not how I do it…” Its hard to get guys to do things they don’t want to do in the NBA. Which is why the concept of “buying in” matters, and why “losing your team” as a coach usually ends up in losing, because guys stop trusting the system and start trusting and doing what they know.

It's going to take a great performance to end the Miami Heat's winning streak. And the Milwaukee Bucks did not deliver one Friday night at the sold-out BMO Harris Bradley Center. So the Heat rolled on to its 21st straight victory, taking a 107-94 decision behind 28 points apiece from Chris Bosh and LeBron James. Miami (50-14) surpassed the 1970-'71 Bucks to stand alone with the third-longest winning streak in NBA history, just one game shy of the streak set by the 2007-'08 Houston Rockets. And the Heat is 12 games from the all-time mark of 33 straight established by the 1971-'72 Los Angeles Lakers. "We played with a little bit of intensity in the second half," said Bucks coach Jim Boylan. "But just not enough. Every time we made a move they made a counter." Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

Bosh recently appeared in a short film about the importance of American schools incorporating computer coding into their curriculums. Also in the film were tech heavyweights Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates. Watch the video on The Miami Herald’s Heat blog, Heat Check, at MiamiHerald.com. Miami Herald

Center Chris Bosh said the #Heat will go hard on trying to get the NBA's No. 1 overall seed. “We might as well get it if it’s there for us,’’ Bosh said. “If we have the opportunity, you might as well shoot for it. You have to have some sort of pressure (before the start of) the postseason, and that’s going to be our pressure is to get the No. 1 overall seed. It’s not going to be easy, but we do have a game with San Antonio (March 31 on the road), and that’s going to mean a lot. We want (the No. 1 seed). We might as well try as hard as possible to take it.’’ Sulia

Lil’ Wayne has beef with the Miami Heat. Why? Well, he told an audience in Miami Houston last night it was because he “f----- Chris Bosh wife.” Bosh got engaged to Adrienne Williams in 2010; the couple welcomed a young child into this cruel world last year. Lil’ Wayne – who was kicked out of a Heat-Lakers game recently – apparently hates LeBron and “She Wade,” too. Could it all really stem from this alleged incident with Chris Bosh’s wife? The Big Lead

Add the Miami Heat’s Chris Bosh to the list of folks who love the food in Houston. “It’s fantastic,” Bosh said of Houston. “The food was great. I had a great breakfast, lunch and dinner every day while I was here. And that’s very important. Nobody ever talks about the food during All-Star Weekend.” Houston Chronicle

So when the GOAT, Michael Jordan, said he would take Kobe Bryant over LeBron James because "five [rings] is better than one," his teammates have his back. At All-Star media availability, Chris Bosh commented and said that what the best NBA player of all time thinks? Not so important. So that's kind of amazing. Zach Harper of CBSSports.com has more on Bosh's comments. "I think everything is going to get blown up," Bosh said. "Everybody has an opinion. And if he takes a guy, then that's fine. He's entitled to that, but it doesn't really mean much at all." CBSSports.com

You have to stand by your guys, and Erik Spoelstra apparently knows it. With Rajon Rondo out of Sunday's All-Star Game with an ACL injury, Spoelstra had to choose a replacement. For a traditional lineup, and honeslty, in terms of deserving to start, Kyrie Irving was the choice. But with Chris Bosh on his bench, Spoelstra would have to snub his own F/C. So Spoelstra did the smart thing and kept his third star, the George Harrison of the Heat, Bosh happy. Bosh will start the All-Star game, Spoelstra told ESPN. CBSSports.com

Bosh thinks it will be a Finals atmosphere in OKC. “It’s going to be a great atmosphere,’’ Bosh said. “I think it’s going to be like the Finals were last year. We know what that crowd brings. I don’t think they can tell the difference between a big game and the Finals. That’s how it feels when you hear them. So we’re ready for it.’’ As for James, he figures it will be loud but that it definitely won't be like the Finals. “It won’t be like Game 2,’’ James said. “There’s no way a regular-season game can ever compare to a Finals game.

The one concern shared by all three was whether the Thunder has enough inside scoring and rebounding to make Miami pay for playing small. “To me, the key to that team is going to be (Serge) Ibaka,” Barkley said. “(Russell) Westbrook and Ibaka are the keys. Westbrook has to get better at making people around him better. He has not done that. He's already an All-Star. Now comes the point where he (needs to be) like, ‘Oh, I've got to make the guys around me better.' “But Ibaka to me is the guy. The only way to beat the Miami Heat is down low. And Ibaka shoots a lot of jumpers. He's got to post up and punish Chris Bosh down low.” Oklahoman
