The hybrid known as LeBron James and Dwayne Wade reared its ugly head against the hapless Nets this past Saturday at the American Airlines Arena in front of a sold out crowd in the second game of their four game home stand.
Both Wade and James had magnificent dunks that were certainly poster worthy, but the best came when the two combined on an alley-op dunk towards the end of the third quarter. Wade set a James perfectly as he could have dunked the ball himself, but chose to set up friend/teammate James summing up their relationship on the court; unselfishness. Unfortunately this same unselfish play was the reason the Heat lost Friday night against the Hornets as Wade passed off an open jump shot to tie the game to pass it to an open Eddie House who missed the game tying three.
With the win, the Heat improved to 5-2 on the season and look to have another performance like this against the Utah Jazz who are entering the game with a 3-3 record. The Jazz are coming off a thrilling double OT game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Jazz are still finding out what their identity is with All-Star Forward Carlos Boozer leaving town for the Chicago Bulls. The Jazz still have the most underrated player in the league in Deron Williams and Andrei Kirlenko but not much after that in terms of talent on the offensive end. Tip off for this game will at 730 and will air on NBA TV.
