I don't have a preview, but team was leading at the half, and are now taking control through the 3rd quarter, Ilguaskas hasn't been able to get it going, and Shaq and Wade are both playing well. I'll still hold on to my prediction that Wade can shoot 50% this season, anyways, back to the game...
Miami up 73-66 at the end of 3. Shaq and Wade playing pretty good so far. Let's see if they can hold on.
Wade is honestly on fire... he's showing Lebron up who shoulda won ROY last year haha... as of now 28 pts 6 rbs and 5 assists for Wade... shooting over 50%... I swear he's a god, I'm loving every moment of it... especially since he's on my fantasy team!!
Finally, D-Wade is being seeing for what he really is: a phenomenal player. Glad that Shaq is helping expose D-Wade for the great player that he is. :thumbsup: Anyways, Miami should take this one no problem. The East is no problem for them (except for Indiana and Detriot of course), it's the West they got to worry about since many of them have much deeper teams.
That cross over on Eric Snow was SICK. Good game by the Heat. Good game to watch especially when LeBron James and Dwyane Wade play against each other. Good game.
Big ups to Miami's forwards for a solid performance: <ul>[*]PF-Udonis Haslem: 6-9 FG (66%) 3-4 FT for 15pts and 8 Boards plus intangibles in 29min[*]SF-Rasual Butler: 5-5 FG 1-1 FT for 11pts in 27min. Plus he held Lebron James to 9-22 FG (40%) 2-3 3PT and contested all his shots and forced him to pass.[/list]
Miami's defense shut the Cavaliers down in the 2nd half. The Cavaliers never even obtained a lead the entire game. LeBron played solid as usual and Dwane Wade is just a spectacular player. He made Eric Snow look foolish on that sick crossover AND got a reverse bucket to finish. Also you guys had the pleasure to witness Cleveland's up and coming Anderson Varejao, the kid played very well in his limited minutes. He is definatly a prospect for us.
Here is the highlights for the game, including the crossover that sent eric snow flying 15ft across the floor!!! http://s12.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=AD60CCA...123A2B6FB9CDA8F Mirror: http://s11.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=A419B67...A932F940816535F
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Accord:</div><div class="quote_post">This is the first time the Heat opened the season 2-0 since 1997.</div> First time for Wizards since 1994 Cleveland is still weak when they're forced to play in the half court, they'll sruggle producing points down the stretch if they can't find a reliable go to guy.
