Wade's World

The Miami Heat put on a show last night against the Chicago Bulls when they took a130-127 win in double overtime. Coming off a 89-99 lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night, the Heat knew they had to win in order to keep all hopes alive if they want to gain that 4th seed in the playoffs. The game was a once in a lifetime experience for most players. It was a show from start to finish. Dwyane Wade was hitting buzzer beaters after buzzer beater. With 6 seconds remaining in the first half he hit a buzzer beater to give the Heat a 2 points lead going into the locker room. At the end of regulation Wade hit another 3 pointer with 11 seconds remaining on the clock to send the game in overtime. Neither team was willing to give and hence a second overtime. Wade being the great player that he is did not gave up, he kept pushing and it paid off. With the game tied at 127-127 and the Bulls coming out of a time with 11 seconds on the clock. Wade took a gamble and stole the ball from Salmons and hit a running 3 pointer, another buzzer beater to win the game. My....it was amazing you had to see it to believe it.
I just love this game....it's so excited and fun, and wow. You from the start of the season everyone's been saying Lebron and Kobe for MVP, but Dwade is showing he can roll with the best of them. Yeah sure his team records are not as impressive as the Lakers and Cavs but he is getting the job done and that's all that matter at this point in the season. They are in the playoffs and that mean they have a chance to go all the way. I am just saying in this league you can never underestimate a team no matter how bad their records are. In 2006 the Heat won made it to their first ever NBA Finals in Franchise history and they won the championship courtesy of Dwade with the help of veterans Shaquille O'neal, Gary Payton, Antoine Walker and Alonzo Mourning. Those guys played great, but it was Dwade who made the big shots when it counted and they won. In the 2003 Draft Lebron and Carmelo was the talk of it all. Lebron won the Rookie of the Year which I thought Wade should have won because he not only played to a high standard but he took his team to the playoffs and he did that without Shaq and them at the time. Anyways, what I am saying is that Dwade to me is more like Mike than Lebron is. Don't get me wrong they are both superb basketball players and will be some of the greatest of all time. You can even argue that Lebron is better than Wade, but on the real Wade does have the hardware. In last night's game against the Bulls Wade recorded 48 points and 12 assist, making it 78 straight games scoring in double figures. He has also scored at least 20 points in 19 straight games putting him 1 game away from matching a Franchise record he currently own. The trade with Toronto did payoff. They gave up Shawn 'The Matrix' Marion for Jermaine O'neal and Jamario Moon, Miami gain and Toronto's lost. Now Miami have that big guy who can bang with the best of them and Moon who can give that energy and athleticism he is known for. Match all that with Wade's charisma, talent and skills, plus Micheal Beasley the up and coming rookie, the passing ability of rookie Mario Chalmers and the calm and cool composer of Udonis Haslem they can get back to championship status. They are a young team and they might not get at the top this season but with the young guys on the team and Wade as their leader they can be next season. Oh, don't say they won't cause in the game of basketball and in the NBA anything is possible. In 2006 they won, cool....then the following year they got kicked out if the first round of the Playoffs. Last season they had the worst record in the league. Wade was injury of course and they traded Shaq and Antoine Walker and Gary Payton retired....so what they weren't the same team as there were in 2006. But that's what I am saying unexpected things always happened in the NBA. That is why I love this game, so puzzling.
