DWYANE WADE BEGINS CLIMBING THE LOSING LADDER ONCE AGAIN
|
|
|
|
|
January 30, 2008
- Wade finished with seven points on 1-for-9 shooting, and departed after the third quarter with flu-like symptoms. The Heat lost Udonis Haslem, who was the only Miami player to start all 43 games, with a sprained left ankle in the second quarter. Haslem left in a protective boot and will not
play Wednesday night at Orlando. Wade's status for the game against the Magic won't be known until Wednesday morning. By the end, there wasn't much booing. Of course, most who stayed for the final horn donned Celtics green.

With Garnett and Ray Allen out, it seemed like Miami rated a chance of matching its season-high two-game winning streak. That was the thinking before Miami - which started this seven-game homestand with a 30-point loss to the Chicago Bulls and ended it with a similar dismal effort - missed almost
every shot it took in the first 12 minutes. Boston raced out to a 31-14 lead, closing the first quarter on an 17-3 run after Miami shot 3-for-23 - 13 percent - in the period. Take Jason Williams' 2-for-3 showing away, and the rest of the Heat shot a robust 5 percent in the first, 1-for-20. "They,
in the first quarter, overwhelmed us with their quickness and their intensity and their play,'' Riley said. "It was right from the get-go.''

Leon Powe scored a career-high 25 points, Rajon Rondo tied a career-high with 23 points and Tony Allen matched a season-best with 20 points as the NBA-best Celtics rolled to a 117-87 victory Tuesday night over the Heat - who followed the win that snapped their 15-game losing streak with an absolute
clunker. "I'm embarrassed by the effort,'' Heat coach Pat Riley said. The Celtics played without Kevin Garnett (strained abdominal muscle) and Ray Allen (flu), and the third member of their star triumvirate, Paul Pierce, was scoreless for most of the first half and finished with only seven points.
|
|
|
Boston led by 17 after one quarter, 31 in the second before settling for a 22-point edge at intermission, and when Dwyane Wade checked out for good with 4:41 left in the third quarter the Celtics were up 88-53. "One of the things that we talked about before the game is that no one before the game is
that no one was going to be Ray Allen and no one is going to be Kevin Garnett,'' Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "But all of them could do a little extra.'' They were listening. These numbers - 51-36 - told the story. That was Boston's edge in shooting percentage and rebounding. Former Heat guard Eddie
House added 20 points for the Celtics, who improved to 35-8. - NBA.com

DWYANE WADE SNAPS A FIFTEEN GAME LOSING STREAK
|
|
|
|
|
January 27, 2008
- Dwyane Wade scored 35 points, Mark Blount added 10 of his 19 in the pivotal fourth quarter, and the Heat beat the Indiana Pacers 98-96 on Saturday to snap a 15-game skid - the longest in the NBA this season and the second-longest in franchise history. "You don't like to be part of
that every day,'' Riley said. "So they're just happy this thing is over with.'' The scene at the final buzzer was championship-caliber.
|
|
|
ndiana's final play started with 5.8 seconds left, when Wade knocked the inbounds pass into the backcourt. Andre Owens picked up the ball, got just over halfcourt and released a desperation toss that wasn't close. And with that, Heat relief. Dorell Wright threw the ball in the air - just like
Wade did from almost the same spot on the court when the Heat won the NBA title in Dallas June 20, 2006. So what if Miami only improved to 9-33, the worst record in the East? For the first time since Dec. 22, the Heat could leave a game happy. "To tell you the truth, it feels like we won a
championship,'' Wright said. "Been a long time, know what I mean? It's a good feeling and I'm just happy it's over.''
|
|
|
|
|
|
Miami was up 94-85 on Wade's 3-pointer with 4:36 left, before Indiana went on a 9-2 run over the next 3 1/2 minutes, a burst capped by Rush's 3-pointer with 1:07 remaining that drew the Pacers within 96-94. They got no closer. Rush missed an open 3 from the top of the key, but Indiana retained
possession when Troy Murphy threw the ball off Haslem on the way out of bounds. Wade, though, tapped the inbounds pass away to start the clock, and with that, the streak ended. "This had to be the game,'' Wade said.
|
|
|
A bad omen, for certain: Miami entered 2-19 when trailing at halftime, with the biggest deficit successfully overcome by the Heat at a game's midpoint this year being a six-point hole against lowly Minnesota on Dec. 17. Not anymore. Wade scored the final nine points in an 11-0 Miami run that put
the Heat up 73-71 later in the third, and the teams entered the fourth knotted at 77. "The difference was the third quarter,'' Indiana coach Jim O'Brien said. "We played very poor defense.'' Blount scored the first two baskets of the final quarter, Wright added a jumper with 9:53 left to put Miami
up by six, and the Heat kept the lead the rest of the way. - NBA.com

DWYANE WADE RECEIVES HIS FIFTEENTH STRAIGHT LOSS VS SPURS
|
|
|
|
|
January 25, 2008
- Dwyane Wade scored 27 points and added nine assists for Miami, but lost the ball while driving for what could have been the winning score with 3 seconds left. Mark Blount, playing in place of the injured Shaquille O'Neal, added 23 points and Jason Williams scored 14 for Miami.
Miami led by 10 in the third quarter, then trailed for only the second time after Parker made a pair of free throws with 2:23 left. But Wade curled past Duncan for a layup 12 seconds later to put Miami back on top, then stole the ball from Duncan on San Antonio's next two possessions.
It still wasn't enough, as Miami managed only eight points over the final 8:50.
|
|
|
Wade laid on the court after his final turnover, declining when fellow All-Star starter Duncan offered to help him up, and just stared at the scoreboard as the crowd began heading for exits. He knew this was an opportunity missed - and all the ingredients were right for a Miami upset.
Miami hadn't played since Monday and hasn't ventured outside of South Florida since playing in New Orleans on Jan. 11. Meanwhile, the Spurs beat the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night, then flew to Miami and didn't reach their hotel until 3:45 a.m.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Down the stretch, though, they weren't deterred. "Once you get in that fourth quarter and your adrenaline's flowing and you know the score is what it is, you're not really tired any more,'' Duncan said. "You just play through it.'' It was clear, the Heat wanted this one badly. Most of the bench,
including assistant coaches Bob McAdoo, Ron Rothstein and Erik Spoelstra spent time in the fourth quarter on their feet, the combination of anxiety and anticipation making it hard for them to sit still.
|
|
|
"There was definitely a lot of energy in the house, from the fans to the players to the coaches to the guys on the court,'' Heat forward Udonis Haslem said. "We've got to continue to play like that every game.'' But in the end, the Spurs only added to their misery. "Once again, we just didn't get
the job done,'' Haslem said. Blount made the most of his newfound opportunity early. He scored 10 points in the game's first 8:54, even doing some things - long jumpers, double-pump layups and a dribble-drive from the top of the key for a dunk - that O'Neal doesn't have in his arsenal these days.

DWYANE WADE BRINGS HIS BEST BUT LEBRON JAMES IS TOO MUCH
|
|
|
|
|
January 23, 2008
- As the final seconds ticked away, LeBron James gave Dwyane Wade a friendly tap near midcourt. James knew he'd just seen Wade's best. And it still wasn't enough for the Miami Heat to snap this dreadful losing streak. James scored 28 points and added five assists, lifting
the Cleveland Cavaliers past the Heat 97-90 Monday night - his first win in nine career trips to Miami and enough to send the 2006 NBA champions to their 14th straight loss, the second-worst slide in franchise history.
|
|
|
"D-Wade played incredibly well,'' James said, "but we made more plays.'' Wade scored 42 points for the Heat, who are 8-32 overall - 2 1/2 games better than Minnesota in the battle for the league's worst record. The Heat started 0-17 in their expansion 1988-89 season, and with
defending NBA champion San Antonio coming in Thursday, it's not getting easy anytime soon. "I feel great empathy for our guys,'' Heat coach Pat Riley said.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wade scored Miami's final 18 points and had 32 in the second half, both franchise records. The rest of the Heat in the second half? They shot 3-for-21, managing six points. "Right now, we absolutely need him,'' Riley said. "He's doing everything he can do.'' Wade hit a 3-pointer
with 30.8 seconds left to get the Heat within 92-88, before James essentially sealed it with two free throws 4.8 seconds later. Wade's 3 was Miami's only make in 12 attempts from beyond the arc, but marked the team's 129th straight game with at least one connection from long range.
|
|
|
Cleveland seemed poised to pull away at times in the third, opening the quarter with a quick 7-0 run to erase Miami's lead, and going up by seven points on two occasions later in the period. "The best third quarter we had all season,'' James said. But Wade - who had seven assists in the half,
none in the third period - scored Miami's last eight points of the quarter, including a jumper with 36.7 seconds left to get his team within 72-70 entering the fourth. He went 6-for-10 from the floor in the third, while his teammates combined to shoot 2-for-11. - NBA.com

DWYANE WADE RECIEVES LOSS AS BIRTHDAY PRESENT FROM KNICKS
|
|
|
|
|
January 20, 2008
- None of the New York Knicks were expected on South Beach for Dwyane Wade's 26th birthday party Saturday night. They pretty much ruined the mood beforehand, adding to a season of Heat misery. Jamal Crawford scored 22 points and Nate Robinson added 19, including a banked
jumper with 2:20 left that put New York ahead to stay, and the Knicks beat Miami 88-84 - sending the Heat to their 13th straight loss, the longest in the league and the worst skein of coach Pat Riley's career.
|
|
|
"It wasn't pretty,'' Knicks coach Isiah Thomas said. "But we were able to grind, able to hang.'' Able to win, too, for the fourth time in five games - while Miami continued to plunge. Only the expansion Heat - who lost their first 17 games of the 1988-89 season - have dropped
more in a row than this team, which has simply free-fallen since winning an NBA championship a mere 19 months ago.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Maybe we should hang some more pictures of that trophy somewhere, so we can remember what it felt like to be in that moment,'' Riley said. "We have to change the energy, somehow.'' For the second straight night, a fourth-quarter collapse doomed Miami at home.
Miami led by 10 late in the third quarter and took a four-point lead into the fourth, but lost yet again to match the second-longest skid in team history.
|
|
|
The Heat were outscored 16-8 over the final 6:44, missing nine of their final 12 shots. Wade led Miami with 22 points, on 7-for-23 shooting, and nine assists. Udonis Haslem scored 11 points and Mark Blount and Shaquille O'Neal each scored 10 for the Heat, who failed
to get a key defensive rebound on a miss by Crawford with 24 seconds left - and paid the price. - NBA.com

DWYANE WADE CAN'T CAPITALIZE ON BIG THRID QUARTER
|
|
|
|
|
January 19, 2008
- Dwyane Wade took an alley-oop feed and sank an acrobatic layup. He hit a 3-pointer. He scored and scored, and the crowd roared, and a third-quarter surge left the Miami Heat on the verge of their first victory in nearly a month. Then came another collapse. Brandon Roy
led a fourth-quarter comeback by the Portland Trail Blazers, who won 98-91 Friday to extend the Heat's losing streak to 12 games, matching the third-longest in franchise history.
|
|
|
Wade finished with 37 points and helped Miami score 35 in the third period to take a seven-point lead. It wasn't enough. "That was the best third quarter we've played in probably two years around here,'' Wade said. "We thought that was the turning point, but it wasn't.''
Wade managed only two points in the final period, when he went 1-for-7, including a miss that would have tied the game with less than 2 minutes left.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"They really brought it to us in the third quarter, especially Dwyane,'' Roy said. "We took it as a challenge to come out in the fourth quarter and show them we get tough when things get down.'' Wade tied his own franchise record by scoring 17 consecutive Heat
points, and he set a team record for points in a third quarter with 20 to help Miami take a 76-69 lead to start the fourth quarter.
|
|
|
"We just couldn't sustain what we did in the third quarter,'' Heat coach Pat Riley said. "That was as well as we played in a long time from a defensive standpoint. Then in the fourth quarter we just began to miss shots.'' Making only his second start after missing
eight games with a hip injury, O'Neal dominated early, scoring eight of the Heat's first 10 points to help them lead 12-6. "I'm glad to see the big fellow back, and us working the ball down to him,'' Wade said. "Hopefully we can get him even more involved, because
he's looking pretty good.'' - NBA.com

DWYANE WADE CAN'T SEEM TO THE MIAMI HEAT A WIN
|
|
|
|
|
January 17, 2008
- After making only two of his first nine shots, Dwyane Wade finished with 24 points. O'Neal had 24 points and 10 rebounds in his return to the lineup for Miami. He started for the first time since Dec. 26, when he aggravated a previous hip injury, missing
eight games in that stretch. O'Neal fouled out for the sixth time this season. "It's the same old thing, we just need to get it together,'' O'Neal said. "Offense is not a problem. We need to stop somebody.''
|
|
|
"That was as complete a loss as you can have,'' Heat coach Pat Riley said. "The team didn't quit, it's just bad. ... When you give up 126 points defensively at home and you've already lost 10 in a row, it's bad. I have now, tonight, at this moment, no answers for it.''
The Heat's last win was Dec . 22, 104-102 over Utah. "We lose every time,'' Wade said. "We lose and it's a fact of life. It's not easy.''
|
|
|
|
|
|
Miami pulled to 62-60 at 9:03 of the third, but the Bulls went on a 10-3 run and never looked back, taking a 93-79 lead into the fourth period. "It was a much needed win after two tough losses,'' Sefolosha said. "We came out ready to play and did the job
throughout the game.'' Nocioni hurt his hip in the third quarter of Tuesday's game after he fell on his back and had to be helped from the court. He didn't show any after effects of that injury.
|
|
|
"I feel much better after I loosened up a little bit,'' Nocioni said. "It's going to hurt tomorrow but there's nothing broke and I'm going to be ready for the next game.'' With O'Neal's presence in the lane, the Bulls went to their perimeter shooting game in
the first period. Seven of their first eight field goals came from outside. "I'm really pleased with the way our guys responded,'' Bulls coach Jim Boylan said. "It has been a tough week for us and a tough road trip. With all that's been swirling around us we
didn't want to go home with another loss. This is nice for the guys.'' - NBA.com

DWYANE WADE SCORES 11 AND LOSES BIG TO THE HORNETS
|
|
|
|
|
January 13, 2008
- Mark Blount led Miami with 27 points, while Jason Williams scored 12 and Dwyane Wade 11. Miami outscored New Orleans 13-6 to open the second half and get as close as 61-56 on Udonis Haslem's basket, but New Orleans responded with Chandler's free
throws and his alley-oop dunk from Paul. Soon after, Stojakovic hit a jumper and Jackson followed with back-to-back 3s for an 8-0 run that put New Orleans up 73-58.
|
|
|
"It was an absolute washout for us,'' Riley said. "We never could get anything going. ... We cut it to five in he third quarter and I thought we had a chance, but we just lost our resolve.'' The Hornets' lead only got bigger from there as New Orleans
continued to pour in 3-pointers, with Stojakovic adding two more in the period before Jackson, now in his 11th season, hit a career high with his sixth 3 to open the fourth, giving the Hornets an 89-66 lead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
His last 3-pointer a few minutes later made it 100-71. In a 109-80 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers two nights earlier, poor outside shooting, including 1-of-11 from 3-point range, caused the Hornets to fall behind early and stay there. The Hornets also got
only nine points from reserves in that loss. Jackson, a reserve guard, ended that trend quickly. He hit three 3-pointers in the first quarter and scored 13 points in the first 15 minutes.
|
|
|
"I'd been lackadaisical and not aggressive coming into the game and I knew I had to be more aggressive coming off the bench,'' Jackson said. "Every team that has a great record, their bench has been successful and ours hasn't. Once we get to that level it's
going to be scary. We're playing OK, but we can play much better.'' New Orleans' reserves finished with 50 points, more than five times their average during the previous three games. - NBA.com

DWYANE WADE EXTENDS HIS LOSING STREAK TO TWELVE GAMES
|
|
|
|
|
January 10, 2008
- Dwyane Wade scored 34 points to lead Miami, which extended its longest losing streak since dropping 12 in a row in the 2001-02 season and also lost its eighth straight on the road. Jason Williams scored a season-high 23 points in his first game
since recovering from inflammation in his left knee.
|
|
|
Mo Williams scored a season-high 35 points to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 98-92 victory over Miami on Wednesday night, sending the Heat to their ninth straight loss. Andrew Bogut scored 17 points to lead Milwaukee, which played without guard Michael
Redd for the fourth game in a row because of a deep thigh bruise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mo Williams made all 12 free throws and added six assists for Milwaukee, which won its third straight game for the first time since winning five in a row Nov. 14-24. Williams made two free throws to give Milwaukee a 95-90 lead with 10.3 seconds left.
After a lay-up by Wade with 7.4 seconds left, Williams made two more free throws for a 97-92 lead with 6.1 seconds remaining. Ricky Davis then missed a 3-pointer and Yi Jianlian made one free throw for the final margin.
|
|
|
It looked as if Milwaukee would have an easier time after starting the fourth quarter on a 17-5 run. Bobby Simmons' basket gave the Bucks an 85-71 lead with 6:10 left. But Miami went on a 12-1 run, capped by two free throws by Jason Williams, to trim
the deficit to 86-83 with 3:11 to play. Mo Williams answered with a 3-pointer for an 89-83 lead with 2:51 left. In the third quarter, Miami failed to score in the first 5:02, but later got a 16-2 run to take a 66-64 lead with 1:52 remaining. It was the
team's first lead since 5-2. - NBA.com

DWYANE WADE IS FAR FROM BEING AN NBA CHAMPION AGAIN
|
|
|
|
|
January 9, 2008
- Less than two years ago, Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal were hoisting the NBA championship trophy and the Miami Heat were the toast of South Beach. That seems so long ago now. Despite a valiant effort from Wade on Tuesday night, the Shaq-less
Heat trailed the worst team in the league by 19 points in the second half en route to their eighth consecutive loss, 101-91 to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
|
|
|
"We're not exactly 28-5 this year,'' Wade said of his 8-27 Heat, who have the worst record in the Eastern Conference. "We're one of the worst teams in the league as well.'' Wade had 25 points, seven assists and five rebounds for Miami, which played
its sixth straight game without O'Neal and has also played stretches without Wade, Jason Williams and Dorell Wright. The Heat already lost Alonzo Mourning for the season.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wade attempted just seven free throws and uncharacteristically missed two big ones with just over 5 minutes to play. Still, the man they call Flash managed two straight breakaway layups to cut a 13-point deficit to six with 2:39 to go. Jefferson responded with
a layup on the low block and Jaric iced it with a 20-footer a few seconds later, giving these young Timberwolves some much-needed positive reinforcement.
|
|
|
"I was trying to find someone that would guard somebody,'' Miami coach Pat Riley said. Wade sees only one way out of it. "We need to do one thing: play better,'' Wade said. "It's that simple. We know the system works. We just need to play better.'' - NBA.com

DWYANE WADE LOSES THE GAME VS GRIZZLIES AT THE FOUL LINE
|
|
|
|
|
January 7, 2008
- Ricky Davis had a season-high 24 points to lead Miami. Dwyane Wade, coming off the bench, finished with 18 points and nine assists, but was 7-of-20 from the field. Chris Quinn scored 17 points for the Heat, while Udonis Haslem added
14 points and 12 rebounds. The teams were tied at 92 with 2 minutes left. Gasol scored inside with 1:57 remaining to give the Grizzlies the lead, which they maintained when Wade, a 75 percent free throw shooter, missed a pair from the
line with 1:04 left.
|
|
|
From there, Memphis hit its free throws to hold on. The last time Miami lost seven straight was the opening of the 2003-04 season. "When I missed those two free throws, it kind of took the air out of us as a team for the next couple of
possessions,'' Wade said. "It was like we did everything wrong that we could do.'' It was an extension of the Heat's fourth-quarter woes. Miami was 23-15 in the final period of a 94-89 loss at Dallas on Friday night and is 2-20 when trailing
entering the fourth. Memphis held a 70-66 lead after three on Sunday.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"We played extremely well in the fourth quarter with the exception of the last several shots in the game, and a couple of free throws and maybe a couple of offensive rebounds,'' Heat coach Pat Riley said. "...We must have the wrong players in
the game. It's the wrong mix or something in the fourth quarter. I think I have the right mix, but I must have the wrong mix.'' Haslem added: "I don't know if it's a mental thing, if it's in our heads, or we don't believe. But, for whatever reason,
we just can't get it done.''
|
|
|
Wade, who sat out Friday's game against Dallas, missed seven of his nine first-half shots. His five points before the break were the only scoring off the Miami bench. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies' reserves managed only two points, and missed eight of nine shots.
Wade was the only Miami play to score off the bench in the game, while Memphis managed only seven points from its reserves. "I'm a rhythm player,'' Wade said. "I knew early on I was going to miss some shots to get my rhythm back, and I wanted to do it early in
the game so I could have it later. It was just about getting my overall rhythm back.'' - NBA.com

DWYANE WADE SITS OUT AND HEAT ALMOST BEAT MAVERICKS
|
|
|
|
|
January 5, 2008
- In the final minutes of a game the Miami Heat seemingly had no business being so close to winning, coach Pat Riley called a timeout. Trailing by a single point, what play did Riley call? Alexander Johnson driving straight at
Dirk Nowitzki. With Dwyane Wade, Shaquille O'Neal and Jason Williams wearing suits, Miami was practically out of playmakers. Yet the ragtag bunch the Heat sent out Friday night were the better team for most of the game, until Nowitzki
and the Dallas Mavericks pulled out a 94-89 victory in the closing seconds.
|
|
|
The final score is misleading. While Nowitzki hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 5:28 left, the Mavs led by only a point with 14 seconds to go when Miami's Ricky Davis drove for a go-ahead layup and missed. No foul was called, despite lots
of contact. The Heat still had a chance for a tying 3-pointer with 6.1 seconds left, but the inbounds pass was stolen by Dallas' Devin Harris, leading to a finishing-touch layup by Josh Howard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"We got a great game out of these guys. We played hard enough to win,'' Riley said. "We've played hard all year. But we haven't played well enough. We always seem to have those spells at the end of games.'' Of all teams, the Mavericks
should've known best not to overlook a barely hanging-on Heat team. Yet they apparently still haven't learned from what happened in the 2006 finals.
|
|
|
"We just had a tough three quarters and we were able to bring it together in the fourth,'' Howard said. "We kept fighting.'' Wade is nursing all sorts of injuries (shoulder, knee, pinkie), so he missed his first game since sitting out
the first seven recovering from offseason surgeries. "It was tough, but it wasn't my decision,'' Wade said. O'Neal missed his fourth straight because of bursitis in his left hip. Williams has knee inflammation. The Mavericks used a 16-4
run to regain the lead in the third quarter, then needed a streak of 12 stops on 14 Miami possessions in the fourth quarter. - NBA.com

DWYANE WADE LED MIAMI IN SCORING BUT DIDN'T GET WIN
|
|
|
|
|
January 3, 2008
- Dwyane Wade led Miami with 27 points on 10-for-16 shooting, plus eight assists. He wasn't available after the game because the team said he was getting treatment on right pinkie and right shoulder injuries. "He's really
sore,'' Heat coach Pat Riley said. "He really is. He's trying to do everything he can do.''
|
|
|
Wade had five points in the first half, then got going in the third, getting one shot to drop in after bouncing near the top of the backboard and scoring 12 points in the quarter on 5-for-7 shooting. Neither team held more than a
four-point second-half lead until Milwaukee pulled away by holding Miami scoreless for the first 3:21 of the fourth - and said a team meeting may have done the trick.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ricky Davis scored 23 points and Chris Quinn added 12 for the Heat, who have lost five straight. Miami scored 31 points in the fourth quarter, but allowed 32 in the period on 71 percent shooting by the Bucks. "We're so close,
but still so far away,'' Heat forward Udonis Haslem said. "We're probably going to end up playing zone the whole game, because we can't guard anybody one-on-one. It's how many games into the season, and we haven't guarded anybody?''
|
|
|
Mo Williams was Miami's main target this past offseason, and Charlie Bell wasn't too far down the Heat wish list. This was why. Williams scored 25 points with nine assists, and combined with Bell for 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting in
the fourth quarter to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 103-98 victory over the reeling Heat on Wednesday night. - NBA.com
