A good night for Dwyane Wade but a bad one for the Heat

Shaq’s Heat acquired its 14^th consecutive loss (the worst record in Eastern Conference, 8-32), as they fell to the Cavs 97-90, in a game where Dwyane Wade was short of help and Lebron James had all he could get, though Wade ended with 42 points, and came up with a Heat franchise record by scoring the last 18 points of his team, and still could not prevent his team from losing.

"We are going to win one day, as long as guys keep believing, that's the main thing.'' Wade said.

Before this game, the Cavs had a record of nine straight losses on the road to the Heat and with this victory, they sum it up for 3 straight wins in a row and while Cleveland is heading for the playoffs, Pat Riley’s team is heading towards a change of disposition and looking to rebuild his team. There are no real plans to hire a player than can complement Shaq and Wade, instead, he wants to work with what he already has, but nothing is for sure as Wade might become into a free agent by 2010, so time is short.

Shaquille O’neal just had a bad night at the AmericanAirlines Arena, he scored only 10 points and had 5 rebounds in the first half, then he disappeared in the second, and to sum up to the problems, he got injured on a bruised left hip that had him out of the courts, this was just his fourth game since he returned. With 13 points and 11 rebounds, Zydrunas Ilgauskas was the man who had the job of stopping Shaq, and he came out clean on his duty.

Undoubtedly, this is one of the worst seasons for the Heat and for Shaq, but with 42 games left, they hope they can turn the table and start winning a few.

''We can talk hypothetically now, but we're still into this year, we need to move forward over the next four or five games and see if we can turn it around.'' Pat Riley said.
