Nothing is official, but his sprained right wrist probably will prevent Heat guard Dwyane Wade from playing tonight when the Los Angeles Clippers visit AmericanAirlines Arena. "I've got some soreness in my wrist, so it's not time," Wade said Tuesday. Wade, who was hurt last Wednesday at Chicago, has missed the past two games and the past two practices. He is listed as day-to-day, but Friday's game at Phoenix likely is in doubt. "I tried to shoot a little (Tuesday) but there was discomfort so I stopped right away," he said. With Wade's 27.5 points and 7.8 assists missing, Miami has averaged 74.5 points in losses to New Jersey and Orlando. Compound that with the loss of center Shaquille O'Neal, who is recovering from knee surgery, and it's easy to see that the Heat is in desperate need of offense. Miami's answer, for now, is to develop a low-post threat. Ideally that would do a variety of things. It would generate offense, creating an inside-out game for the shooters, and help get players to the free-throw line. Coach Pat Riley said center Alonzo Mourning and forwards Udonis Haslem and Antoine Walker have to lead the charge in the low post. "When they catch it they've got to go with it and they've got to get a shot up," Riley said. "It can't be a charge or a turnover." Riley is hopeful that developing a rhythm and balance will make Miami a more efficient low-post team. "I think when you emphasize your post-up game your post-up players will be more productive," he said. "It won't be a like an afterthought." In the past two games Miami has relied on outside shooting, and when that goes awry Miami falls behind and is hard-pressed to catch up. Scoring isn't easy because few players, aside from Wade and O'Neal, can create their own shots. "They're used to myself and Shaq creating a double-team and giving them an opportunity to shoot," Wade said.</div> Source
