Dwyane Wade Unhappy With Pacers Celebration

For the second year in a row the Indiana Pacers are being accused of over-zealous celebrating after a win – the Miami Heat will be using it as motivation for Game 3 according to Dwyane Wade. The Heat’s superstar guard admitted he was upset by the Pacers celebrating following yesterday’s Game 2 win in South Florida.

I heard they wanted to be like the Dallas Mavericks, in a sense,” Wade said about an apparent reference to Pacers coach Frank Vogel using last year’s Mavs team, which beat the Heat in Miami for the title, as motivation for Indiana. “I saw their little celebration at the end of (Game 2). I don’t know if they didn’t expect to win, but every night we go out on the court, we expect to win.”

“They say their identity, they say they want to be like Dallas,” Wade said. “So they celebrated like Dallas, I guess.”
