Wade flourishes in return, sealing a Miami victory

They don't call him, 'Flash' for nothing. Rejoining the Heat after a 2-day absence due to a bruised, sore knee Dwayne Wade exploded for 40 points on 13-for-21 shooting from the field (13-14 FT)with 5 assists and 3 steals in a 118-112 win against the Wizards Wednesday night. Sporting retro uniforms, both teams went old school for a new appeal, but it was Wade who was the feature attraction.

Shaq can thank his lucky stars for having such a dynamic, all-around superstar teammate. This team wouldn't be 40-20 without D-Wade. He's a great contributor, averaging 27.5 ppg and 6.8 apg. Pat Riley has the Heat playing terrific basketball and knows how to utilize his two main stars' talents. Too many critics think Miami can't hang with Detroit and wouldn't survive in a playoff series. I beg to differ.

While Miami isn't the strongest defensive team in the league they are a fierce scoring threat every game with numerous offensive weapons available. Even when Wade has an off-night they've got other players that can beat opponents. They can contend with any team in the East and West. If Wade and Shaq stay healthy for the rest of the season I like Miami's chances in the postseason.
