MIAMI - Chris Bosh was often referred to as the most important player for the Miami Heat over the last four seasons, something that probably not many people understood.It needs no explaining now.With LeBron James gone to Cleveland and Dwyane Wade — while arguably still the key to how far Miami goes — no longer the elite scorer he once was, the Heat are asking Bosh for more than ever. So far, hes delivering, with 77 points in Miamis first three games and flourishing again in the go-to-option role that he had for his seven seasons in Toronto.I feel like I am a much better player and a much better leader, said Bosh, announced Monday as the NBAs Eastern Conference player of the week. I try to really lead by example and lead by my voice every day.His voice, thats one thing.His productivity, thats another.And hes delivering on both fronts. He has scored at least 21 points in all three game, and the Heat were the only team in the Eastern Conference to go unbeaten in the opening week.He is playing at a very high level right now, Toronto coach Dwane Casey said.Wade isnt surprised.His pie chart is off the chain with how he can score the ball, where hes getting the ball, how were looking for him, Wade said. Hes going to be able to put up those numbers. Hes rebounding great. He looks good. Credit to him for getting himself ready.___Heres some of what to watch in the NBA this week:LEBRON VS. VINCEClevelands LeBron James moved into 25th on the NBAs career scoring list last week, overtaking Memphis Vince Carter (who could pass him back Monday night, but its almost certainly a matter of time before James pulls away). James has 23,223 points; Carter has 23,206. At his usual pace, James would be in the top 20 by seasons end. On the combined NBA-ABA list, James is 30th and Carter 31st.KOBE WATCHIts 49 and counting for Kobe Bryant. Hes 49 missed shots away from passing John Havlicek for the most unsuccessful field-goal attempts in NBA regular-season history. He missed 50 of his 85 shots in the Los Angeles Lakers first four games this season — all losses. Also notable: Since the NBA started tracking plus-minus in 2002, the Lakers have been outscored by more than 25 points with Bryant on the floor only eight times. Two of those were last week. The Lakers are home against Phoenix on Tuesday night and Charlotte on Sunday night.PLAYOFF REMATCHESWednesday night brings a pair of rematches from last seasons epic opening playoff round. Miami visits Charlotte, which means Josh McRoberts goes back to the city he called home until this summer and Lance Stephenson squares off against the Heat again. Afterward, the Los Angeles Clippers play at Golden State; those clubs met 11 times last season with the Clippers going 6-5, winning by an average score of 110-107. The Warriors Klay Thompson is the reigning Western Conference player of the week.BIG APPLE SERIESThe Knicks visit the Nets on Friday night, and maybe fans in New York will finally get treated to a game that isnt decided in the third quarter. The Knicks went 3-1 against their city rivals last season, winning by 30, 29 and 11 points. Brooklyns lone win also was an easy one, a 23-point rout.PHILLY WOESThe 76ers started 3-0 last season. Theyre 0-3 this season and have Houston, Toronto and Chicago on this weeks slate — along with Orlando, which is one of the three other teams still searching for their first win.STAT LINE OF THE WEEKDeMarcus Cousins, Sacramento: He had 34 points, 17 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in the Kings 98-92 victory at the Clippers on Sunday. Such a stat line occurred only once last season, when Dwight Howard had 35 points, 19 rebounds, five assists and three blocks for Houston against Detroit.___Follow Tim Reynolds on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/ByTimReynolds Harrison Phillips Jersey .com) - Tony Parker scored 17 points to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a comfortable 99-85 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. Phillip Gaines Bills Jersey . Case in point: LeBron James vs. Ben McLemore. James was driving to the rim in the first quarter and McLemore decided to try to take the charge, which was quite admirable and predictably futile. http://www.shoptheofficialbills.com/Elit...s-Bills-Jersey/.

The Basque club improved to four points better than fifth-place Villarreal in the duel for the last Champions League qualifying place. Celta should have come away with more from the high tempo game.
