    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">MIAMI -- You've seen a couple of flashy dunks from Dwyane Wade in the four games since his return from a right foot injury.

    You've seen the Heat's rookie guard accelerate to the basket, cut on his sore foot and glide through the air.

    What you haven't seen, however, is solid defense.

    That's the reason Wade wasn't in the game during the fourth quarter of Sunday's victory against New Jersey.</div>

    I don't remember much about Waydes defence when I was watching him. I guess I know why now...

    Hmm... I never knew that was a problem. He's quick and smart, I woulda thought he'd be a good defender. Hopefully he can pick up his slack and start working on his defense.

    Yea he did have some bad fouls though when he bit on pump fakes by Kidd, but I always saw him playing pretty good defense but he probably does have some bad habits.
