The Miami Heat officially announced Wednesday that Chris Bosh will not be playing at all this postseason. It isn't all that surprising, but for Dwyane Wade and Bosh's other teammates, it adds a little extra motivation.

Wade told reporters after the Bosh ruling:
“It makes you come out and just do a little bit more, because you've got somebody who would kill to be out there, who would do anything just to be on the floor. I take that into every game with me, for sure… We know we're missing a huge part of our team.”
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra also commented on the biggest impact of Bosh being out:
“We talked about what we are going to miss the most about CB and it wasn't end of possession, throw it to him and he can get you a shot or defensive rotations. It was his leadership and his voice. Now he's around the team, he still provides that, and it's a powerful thing.”
Even without Bosh on the court, it seems he'll be an important member of the team if Miami hopes makes a deep playoff run.
