Awesome. However I may have to DVR this one and watch the next day as I probably won't be able to stay up that late and watch it in it's entirety.

Yeah, he looked like he can still play, especially considering he supposedly had a career threatening lingering injury and all.

Well, D.WADE, continued his MVP pace by doing a 31 point, 8 rebs, 8 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks night and bring Miami back from a double digit deficit against what was looking like a hot Minnesota team that had won 5 straight.

But this team is still looking like a early incarnation of the Chicago Bulls teams a couple of years BEFORE the big championship run:

One MAJOR star and a few nice pieces, but just not enough to make a serious run to go deep into the playoffs.

IF the Heat make the playoffs, D.Wade WILL BE the NBA MVP. Mark my words. IF THEY DO NOT, he will be a VERY close 2nd to whomever has the best regular season record for either Kobe, Lebron or Pierce.

Even with the Heat in the playoffs, he will still finish second to LeBron, that is if both continue on their current pace. Sorry to piss in your Salsa.

That aint nothing.

The Chosen One had a triple double last night!

30pts, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 1 block

Your Crazy! LeBron and the Cavs came off a very good season and ARE expected to challenge for an NBA championship. The D.Wade and the Heat on the other hand, were coming off a 15 win season and season ending surgery. IF they even SNIFF a possible playoffs, he will finish NO WORSE than 2nd place. IF they make the playoffs...he will win...not easy, but comfortable.

Look, D-Wade is a good player. A great player even. The Heat were lousy last year without D-Wade. When he came back, they were expected to be better. That was a given.

They're both having a good season, but I still give LBJ the edge. Maybe D-Wade will get "comeback player of the year".

Why? I am gonna use the same logic as the NFL instant replay....give me something conclusive that tells me that he IF the Cavs did NOT have LB, they STILL might make the playoffs...and IF DWade were not with the Heat...they MIGHT win 20 games....

You seriously don't remember the Cavs prior to LeBron?
