Studio Gabe/FlickrFollowing the team's 97-81 Game 3 loss to the Boston Celtics, Chris Bosh was effectively dropped from the Heat's Big Three when a decisive two-thirds majority voted to end the power forward's affiliation as a member of Miami's celebrated trio.

"No hard feelings against Chris, but LeBron (James) and I aren't connecting with him, you know, emotionally," said Dwyane Wade, who along with James outvoted Bosh 2 to 1. "When a fellow Big Three member walks into the locker room or out onto the court, your heart should skip a beat and you should get butterflies in your stomach. Unfortunately, there just wasn't a spark there."

Although he thinks Bosh is "a nice player," LeBron agrees there was an emotional gap, and says the fit wasn't right given Bosh's desire to shoot the basketball occassionally.

"I don't think he was ever totally comfortable with myself and Dwyane's public displays of affection either."

Heat coach Eric Spoelstra, who has multiple posters of both James and Wade plastered on his bedroom walls, says he'd give anything to be selected as Bosh's Big Three replacement.
