Dwyane Wade Awarded All NBA First Team
May 14, 2009 By Leave a Comment
The expectations all pointed upward for Dwyane Wade in a season where he built on his Olympic buzz, winning the gold medal and arguably being the team’s MVP. Wade tore through the season, averaging the most points per player in the league (30.2) and creating a portfolio worthy of MVP status.
Thus was born the monicker, MV3.
Well, Wade would finish 3rd in the MVP balloting, behind Lebron James, but continues to get some accolades. It was announced that Wade would join Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Dirk Nowitzki and Dwight Howard on the All NBA first team.
Not bad for a “comeback” season. Something to prove, indeed. Now, what is left for a followup?
This is Wade’s first all-NBA first team award. He has the scoring title and improved his team from 15 wins last season to 43 this season. He was also named to the NBA’s 2nd defensive team, being the only player to get 100 steals and 100 blocks this season.
Heat Rim Out With Loss at Conseco
March 25, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Conseco Field House should be changed to Conseco House of Horror when Miami plays there.
As the ball was inbounded to Dwyane Wade with 2.8 seconds left, the crowd gasped as they could feel the win about to slip out of their hands. Then Wade’s shot went in and out and the red lights buzzed as the result was Indiana 90, Miami 88.
It was the Heat’s 17th straight loss on the road – all of those at Conseco’s Field House. If they sold fire insurance, it would be a great endorsement because the Heat obviously can’t catch fire there. Despite having arguably the league’s next MVP playing, the Heat didn’t hold an advantage as Wade had an off night shooting just 5-24 from the field. Anyone of those misses could have made a difference in the result.
Miami falls to 38-33, still holding on to that 5th playoff spot. Up next, Chicago – another tough opponent which has played Miami strong of late.
