Does focus remain an issue as Miami Heat head west? - Sun Sentinel

Focus is always an issue for the Heat, especially for the top 2 divas of the team.

Tonight’s start will be Dwyane Wade’s 700th NBA game. Which , of course, would have come sooner if he didnt bitch out of so many games.

 

[Paolo305613]

15 assist. Most assist in franchise history.

And the scrub having another fluke of a game .

Thank goodness Shane came to play tonight! Killin it once again!

 

[Andresrenee]

Yep...Shane starts playing and we go on winning streaks...

 

[Paolo305613]

Streak started way before Shane… Actually it started when the diva stopped bitching out of games so frequently.
