<h3>Wade-less Heat seeks revenge against Bobcats</h3>

Miami (1-5) at Charlotte (3-3) 7:00 pm EST


CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Ticker) -- The Miami Heat did nothave Dwyane Wade the first time they played the CharlotteBobcats. They likely will have to meet their SoutheastDivision foe once again without their superstar.


The Heat aim to exact a measure of revenge against the Bobcatswithout Wade on Tuesday.


Recovering from offseason operations on his shoulder and knee,Wade has missed Miami's first six games this season.

"Of course I want to be out there," Wade said. "I am not sayingI am going to be 100 percent when I come back. I am justwaiting for the time that it feels good and that is the way Iam. It is a matter of stiffness and getting my conditioninglevel back."


The Heat finally picked up their first win of the campaignSunday, rallying for a 75-72 victory over the New York Knicks.

Miami certainly missed Wade's late-game ability on November 4,when they dropped a 90-88 decision to the Bobcats.

Newcomer Jason Richardson scored a season-high 29 points forCharlotte while Raymond Felton added 19 and seven assists in thevictory.


After winning their first two games of the season, the Bobcatshave since lost three of their last four outings, includingSunday's 85-82 home loss to the Houston Rockets.


The Bobcats have won three consecutive meetings with Miami.
