Despite a report saying Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh would return in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics, coach Erik Spoelstra said the big man will be a game-time decision.
Spoelstra addresses ESPN.com report, says Bosh is now day-to-day. "To say it is definitive right now is premature."

Without Bosh, the Heat have been susceptible inside against the Boston Celtics, who have turned to Kevin Garnett in the low post as a crutch during the series. If Bosh returns in Game 5, even at less than full strength, he will provide a longer detriment to Garnett's post game while being a threat Garnett will have to handle when the Celtics are on defense. In Games 1 through 4, Garnett spent most of his defensive time roaming the court freely because he has little respect for the offensive talents of Joel Anthony, Ronny Turiaf or Udonis Haslem.
