Wade Scores 29 In Heat Win

The Miami Heat took on a snow storm and the SuperSonics in Seattle, and came away with a 107-103 victory. It was the second road win in a row for Miami against another bad team, but right now, Miami will take whatever they can get.

The Heat took the floor looking tired and old. They were still playing without Shaq, Pocket Fulla Posey, Number 8 and their head coach Pat Riley.

Jwil started off hot hitting his first four shots, including 3 of 3 from downtown. but then stopped shooting almost completely. Still, he led the team in scoring at halftime with 11 points.

Wade had trouble with his shot early, but got others involved. He had nine assists at the the half, but only four points.

The Sonics played a solid first half. They shot over 50% from the floor and were very active on the boards. Chris Wilcox and Nick Collison were killing the Heat down low. They followed every shot and got a ton of easy dunks. Wilcox wound up having the game of his life, finishing with 28 points and 13 rebounds.

Heat trailed by seven at the half, 55-48.

The Heat came out firing after halftime. Wade got things going by draining his first two shots. Then Jason Kapono started nailing deep two's. After about three minutes of play in the third quarter, the Heat had fought back and tied the score 67-67.

Jwil and D-Wade swapped rolls for the second half of the game. Wade started scoring and Williams started setting up his teammates. In the second half, Wade scored 25, and White Chocolate had four assists.

Gary Payton had a good all around game against his old team. He played Ray Allen well, helping hold him to 29 points. Six of those points came in the last ten seconds of the game. Payton finished with 14 points. Too bad the Heat don't play Seattle more often.

The answer to all the Heat's problems has just hit the waiver wire. Chris Webber!!!! You have to admit he'd fit right in with Payton and Walker. Man, I can't wait for this to happen.
I know you are being sarcastic, but I wouldn't mind having Webber come off the bench. He can still rebound and hit his 15-foot jumpers from the corner of the freethrow line. That's more than Walker can do! If he's willing to sign for the league minimum or a little over that, then I think it could work.
A. he can't hit that jumper anymore. B. he only rebounds if the ball falls to the floor and he can bend over and pick it up. C. that shows exactly how bad the situation has gotten in Miami, when you think adding Chris Webber, at this point of his career, could help the team.
Like I said, he's better than Walker.
