<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Practice Time Eludes Heat For a team with eight players who are either in their first year with the Heat or in their first year as rotation players, the missed practice time is significant. "I don't think there's any doubt it's been a factor," coach Pat Riley said. "Also, when we do practice, our best players can't practice. Dwyane (Wade) hasn't been able to practice almost since he's come back because he's so sore. Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal) hasn't been able to practice. "So you practice your schemes and you practice with everybody who is available, you try to do a lot of dummy offense, try to get your offense in, but we haven't had a lot of live practices the last month." -- The Palm Beach Post</div>
