08:09 AM ET 05.21 | For one day, anyway, MV3 was back. [Dwyane Wade] has consistently downplayed how sore his left knee had been in recent weeks and continued after Sunday's game to say he wouldn't use any injuries as an excuse for his performance. But multiple sources close to Wade and the team told ESPN.com Sunday night that he required the minor draining procedure on Wednesday before the team's loss in Game 3. After having fluid drained from his troublesome left knee last week, Wade had one of the worst playoff games of his career. ... Apparently, all Wade needed were a few days of rest and treatment, a pep talk from his former college coach and another crack at Indiana to get his body and mind on track.

The INDY series is taking a HUGE toll on the Heat bodies. Will be interesting to see how they react if and when they reach the finals.
I think Heat will reach the finals since Celts can't stop monkeying around themselves.

My favorite player hopefully he keeps the fluid off his knee and continues to be productive.

Ya right! Like we believe you when you're faking your injury! Keep crying wolf jerk arse!

Exactly. The execuses are as easy as his bichin to the officials. He was non-existent until Lebron got him involved with two quick buckets. It's amazing how well he felt once he a few things went well for him. His crappy game has absolutely nohing to do with any physical aspects. Wade is an absolute baby.

He's an incredible physical specimen. He scores, assists, rebounds, and can defend any position on the floor and do it well. He can finish as well as anyone at the rim. The only weakness in his game is his 3 point shooting and his inability to close out games in the fourth. But his pass first mentality sometimes is the reason for that. (Remembering the 25 consecutive he put on the Pistons)

Could it be that he doesn't close so well because he spends so much energy defending any position on the floor and doing it well?

It's kinda hard to shoot very high pct when you are exhausted from logging heavy mins.
