Chris Bosh released the third installment of his self-made documentary on Monday, the same day Miami Heat president Pat Riley felt the need for closure by declaring Boshs career with the team probably over.With that, the Heats Big Three era ended with an unfortunate whimper.The book on one of the most fascinating periods in NBA history is closed, with the end just as abrupt and surprising as the beginning. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Bosh are all gone, and each of them harbors a level of animus toward the organization where they won two championships along their glamour-filled ride.And it left Bosh, in the midst of a health and existential crisis, nostalgic for the Heatles era.I look back on that time, and I would describe it as epic. And I thought it was going to keep going, Bosh said in his documentary, which carries a now-ironic title of Rebuilt.We had Bron, we had D [Wade]. I realize how special it was now. Back then, we ate together, we practiced together, we played together all the time. We dont have it any more, and Im tripping. It was just a few years ago -- not even a few -- two years ago, were playing for a championship. Everybodys gone.James left to go home to Ohio and tried to exit on good terms. But there have been enough passive-aggressive barbs tossed by James and Riley without mentioning each others names over the past two years to know that a peaceful breakup was probably impossible. That Bosh was using James digital media platform, Uninterrupted, to criticize the team in recent days is just another example of their own little war.Wade walked out on the Heat over the summer, the most popular player in franchise history growing frustrated by a series of contract disputes and perceived disrespect. Riley said Monday he had composed an email to Wade with all of his thoughts on the matter but hadnt yet pushed send. Bosh too had a communication breakdown with the franchise, as the sides ended up corresponding via podcasts, online videos and news releases.It was a far cry from the not five, not six, not seven days. The Heat burned bright, but they also burned fast. The circumstances surrounding the collapse of perhaps the most famous team in league history are complex. There are so many facets to what happened, there is no use trying to assign blame or start finger-pointing. It all just?reinforces?the fragility of the NBA.Role players got old and retired. New salary-cap rules ravaged the teams options and led ownership to make hard decisions. James felt the call of home. Riley made some misreads. Bosh ran into a terrible and unforeseen medical issue.Between 2010-14, the Heat went on a historic organizational winning streak. From their stunning player acquisitions to their sponsorship deals to their promotions to the chic nightclub within the arena, Miami was very much the center of the basketball universe. The White Stripes Seven Nation Army blaring with fans all dressed in white, clapping in unison on the shores of Biscayne Bay, was the essence of cool. James MVPs and Ray Allens clutch 3-pointers were the essence of greatness.It was truly, as Bosh said, epic. And now its gone with a layer of bitterness floating on the surface.Riley did what he felt he had to do Monday, as the team was in a difficult corner as it tried to respect Boshs health struggle while also dealing with the medical and financial realities of the business of basketball. Riley is both eloquent and ruthless -- the combination was a driving force in putting the Heat together. And it played a part in driving it apart.It is time for the team to move on, the same conclusion James and Wade reached when they were presented with challenging choices. Perhaps they took some of these lessons from Riley, even if those pearls were unintended. Between Riley, James, Wade and Bosh, they have four of the most unique stories in the history of the league. This final chapter fits into a mighty story arc.At some point in the future, Wade, James and Bosh will be back together in Miami. Jerseys will be retired. Perhaps a statue or two will be erected, cheers will return, the White Stripes chords with shake the building again. The NBA is always changing. These events are just the latest reminder. Time heals all wounds, and there are wounds on all sides here. Shaquille ONeal coming back to get his jersey sent to the rafters in a few months is a reminder of that.Then everyone will reminisce about just how incredible and awesome the Big Three era was and muse about why it all had to end so soon.It was awesome.

Ray threw four TD passes to rally Toronto to a 39-34 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night. Rays 10-yard touchdown toss to Dontrelle Inman at 9:49 of the fourth quarter gave the Argos their winning margin in a track meet that featured 51 first downs and 1,000 total offensive yards but still came down to the final play. Burris drove Hamilton from its 44-yard to the Toronto 13 in the final 30 seconds on completions to Greg Ellingson and Onrea Jones. But rookie running back C.J. Gable dropped a screen pass that had he held on to had a clear path to the end zone. Still, the Ticats had one final gasp with three seconds left at the Argos eight-yard line following a penalty, but Andy Fantuz couldnt hold on to Burriss throw in the end zone. "I dont know how many times in my career Ive been on the sidelines watching Henry Burris lead a last-minute drive," Ray said. "But sacking him twice and then the big breakup in the end zone at the end, those were huge." A new-look Argos defence with seven new starters struggled in the first half against Hamilton, which led 31-25 at halftime. Burris was a big reason for that, passing for 207 yards and three TDs but he said the Ticats shouldve put the defending Grey Cup champions away much earlier. "It should not have come down to that play at the end, we left a lot of plays on the field," Burris said. "We were right there but we sputtered when we had the opportunities. "We let it slip away when we had the chance to steal it." Torontos defence still allowed 199 second-half yards but only three-second half points. And the unit sacked Burris on consecutive plays, forcing Hamilton to punt with three minutes remaining and trailing by five points. "We talked at halftime about staying together and how football games arent won by players but by teams that play together with one heartbeat," Argos head coach Scott Milanovich said. "Our guys stayed together and that was an encouraging thing because we have many new guys. "The fact they didnt start pointing fingers and trying to cover their own butts was a positive. We just knuckled down and did enough to win. It was by no means a glorious effort for us but thats a good football team and I think that will prove out throughout the year." Toronto also lost Swayze Waters to an unspecified injury kicking off to start the second half. Waters returned to boot a convert on Inmans TD after receiver Spencer Watt was forced to convert his own second-half TD. Watt and fullback Alexander Robinson kicked off in Waters absence while Inman handled punting duties. "Youve got to give credit to guys like Spencer Watt and Dontrelle Inman that came in and kicked the ball and didnt do anything to hurt us," Milanovich said. "Thats not easy to do when youre kind of a fish out of water doing something youre not used to doing. "I thought those guys did a tremendous job." Ray agreed. "I dont think Ive been around to see something like that and Ive been around for a long time," the 11-year veteran said. "It was pretty cool to see those guys stepp in and do that.dddddddddddd" Burris finished with 361 yards passing and three TDs while rookie Lindsey Lamar had a 104-yard kickoff return touchdown as Hamilton nearly spoiled the party for the Rogers Centre gathering of 29,852. Prior to the game, the Grey Cup was brought out on to the field and players Brandon Isaac, Chad Owens and Chad Kackert along with Milanovich and GM Jim Barker were presented their championship rings before the 12 Grey Cup banner was unfurled. Spectators were then treated to an offensive, wide-open track meet as Burris and Ray took turns dissecting porous defensive units starting the season with no shortage of question marks. Lamar also joined Marcus Thigpen as only players in CFL history to return kickoff for a touchdown on their first career touch. Hamiltons offence sports many of the regulars who were part of the CFLs top-scoring unit last year and Isaac gave the Ticats unit credit but added the Argos defensive players werent happy with their performance. "I dont like the way we played because we played too many snaps," Isaac said. "We were shell-shocked in the beginning however from the second quarter on we were able to make adjustments and make plays when it counted. "That is a real solid offence but at the end of the day we were able to make one just one more play than they did." Hamiltons defence returned eight starters but new defensive co-ordinator Orlondo Steinauer has the daunting task of improving a unit that allowed 32 points and 306 yards passing per game, both league highs. The Ticats defensive woes were highlighted early in the third when on third and five, Ray hit Watt on a 20-yard TD pass to pull the Argos to within 34-32 after Waters was injured. But Kent Austin, in his Ticats coaching debut, said there was plenty of blame to go around for the loss. "We had opportunities to make plays in all three phases of the game," he said. "We have to make sure when the opportunity comes that we come through. "They just made more plays than we did." Jason Barnes had two TDs for Toronto while Kackert had the other and ran for 112 yards on 10 carries. Waters finished with four converts, a field goal and a single. Gable with two, and Fantuz scored Hamiltons other touchdowns. Luca Congi booted the converts and two field goals.
