Dwyane Wade is the engine that runs the Miami Heat. Without him at full strength there's no way the Heat can beat any opponent. Their current showdown is with the Atlanta Hawks and the way they've been looking after last night's ten point loss isn't good. Wade is now suffering from back spasms and only scored 22 points as the Hawks knotted up the series at 2 games apiece going into game 5 on Wednesday night.
Before this series started, I said the Hawks would win in 5 games. I give the Heat this, they've actually made a series of this and I do think the this is going to the distance but I still think in the end the Hawks will pull this out. The Heat just don't have enough and you never which player is going to step up at which time other than Wade. James Jones had 19 points and Jermaine O'Neal poured in 20 but you can't count on those two every game.
Look for the Hawks to win game 5 on Wednesday and the Heat to win game 6 with the Hawks wrapping it up in game 7 and call it a season for the Heat.
Yes, everyone would love to see LeBron vs Wade but it give it another year before that actually happens.
