Excellent post, Bill. I’ve been riding Vinny hard all season, but I think he has accidentally learned how to coach better in the last few weeks, ever since injuries forced him into an 8 man rotation 
I agree that going 6-3 to have a .500 record is a must, and given the schedule, very feasible. I’d love an 8-1 close and a stealing of the 5 seed, we’ll see how it shakes out.
As for down the line moves, I’d only trade for Bosh or Amare if they agree to a contract extension immediately upon being traded for and at this point I probably wouldn’t overpay for either guy in a trade since both guys are free-agents after next season. You’d only be getting one season out of these guys unless they agree to an extension. I’d rather wait and go after them in free agency without having to give up anything but money, especially if the rumors that Chicago is Bosh’s #1 destination are indeed true.
And I’d stay away from Wade. I won’t complain if they do get him, but I’d prefer they don’t. Wade would be the oldest option of the 3 (28) at the time at a position that is easier to fill (wing-player) and is somewhat injury-prone. His style lends itself to injuries, as we’ve seen in the past. I’d rather get the younger big man. Bosh would only be 25 and Amare 26,.
