Chris Bosh: 2012 Season Review


Chris Bosh's top plays, performances, stats and splits from the 2012 season.

Miami HEAT Index is reviewing each HEAT player's performance in the 2012 season, from the most productive to the least productive. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Mario Chalmers were the first three reviewed. The fourth review is Bosh.

This analysis uses Estimated Wins Produced, a statistic created by sports economist David Berri. Since an average team's winning percentage is 0.500, an average player produces 0.100 est. wins per 48 minutes (est.WP48). A star player produces 0.200 est.WP48 and great players produce 0.300 est.WP48. See the HEAT Produced Page for more information on Est. Wins Produced.

Season Analysis
Bosh finished 4th on the HEAT with an est. 5.2 wins produced in the 2012 regular season (0.125 est.WP48) from 24.5 points, 82% free throw shooting on 6.7 attempts, 8.6 defensive rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.1 fouls per 48 minutes. 

Bosh produced an estimated 12% of the HEAT's wins in the regular season and 9.6% of the wins in the playoffs (1.5 est. wins produced).

Top 10 Games
Eight of Bosh's 10 most productive games from the 2012 season were at home, but his most productive game came on the road against the Pistons during the HEAT's January run #WithoutWade. Bosh produced an est. 0.4 wins in 36.6 minutes (0.568 est.WP48) from 27 points on 83% shooting efficiency, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 3 fouls.

Bosh saved his most productive playoff game for last - Game 5 of the NBA Finals. He produced an est. 0.3 wins in 34.4 minutes (0.465 est.WP48) from 24 points on 68% shooting efficiency, 5-5 free throw shooting, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal and 1 foul. It was the cherry on top of Bosh outplaying the OKC big men in the Finals.

The HEAT were 10-0 in Bosh's most productive games last season.
