I am going to try so hard to stay professional in this recap but Dwyane Wade is taking us back to 2010 with these performances. Understand that he has back-to-back 30+ point games, he hasn’t done that since 2010. He is truly relishing having his team back, all to himself. I am loving it.
But this is a tied series. I’m talking as if the Heat are going for a gentleman’s sweep but no, the Raptors are still in this. Despite Kyle Lowry being 2-11 shooting and DeRozan being 6-28 with a probable thumb injury. Credit to the Raps because they’re still level even though their backcourt is colder than a Yeti eating frozen spaghetti.
This particular game went to overtime, DWade took them there and they did the rest, he didn’t score in OT other than the dagger dunk in the final seconds.
”I was tired,” Wade said. ”I was using myself as a decoy. All eyes were on me and I wasn’t going to force anything.”
Just to sum up the series so far. The accumulative score over the series is currently 379-374 in the Heat’s favour. It is that tight and now it will be even tighter now that Valanciunas is out for definite and Whiteside is apparently day-to-day but we probably won’t see him.
Now I recently heard an interview with ESPN’s Brian Windhorst talking about the Heat and he said it is better for the long-term that Goran Dragic gets the ball and DWade sits back. Maybe, but Wade has “sat back” for a few years now. Dragic is not LeBron James, Wade is not letting go of this team easily and Erik Spoelstra apparently has the same sentiment since he’s letting Wade drop 30 on a regular basis.
We now look to game 5 back in Toronto, Dwyane Wade will probably get abused for warming up during the Canadian national anthem and like the whole series, it will be back and forth like Aaliyah.
