Feelin’ The Heat

The MVP talk is heating up and as of right now Dwyane Wade and LeBron James are at the top of the list!

Wade has proved time and time again this season that he back and quite possibly better than he was before his injury.

Even though the Heat didn’t have Shawn Marion in this match up and rookie Michael Beasley in a little bit of slump, the rest of the squad put up a hell of fight while being lead by Wade.

Although Wade scored a game high 29 points against the New Jersey Nets on Saturday it wasn’t his scoring that saved the day for the Heat it was his tenacious defense down the stretch in overtime.

With three key blocked shots by Wade in overtime the Heat were able to hold off Vince Carter and the Nets for their 18th win of the season.

Although Beasley has struggled as of late, he made up for Marion’s absence by scoring 17 points and ripping down 7 boards. Wade on the other hand didn’t have a great shooting night by only hitting 8 out 23 from the floor, but he filled the rest of the stat with 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals.

The Heat will have their work cut out for them in the next two games a they take on the San Antonio Spurs in Miami and then travel to Denver to take on the Nuggets.
