Wade launches comeback

     Fifteen points off the bench in 25 minutes Wednesday night made for a pretty decent comeback game for Dwyane Wade following two offseason surgeries. But he couldn't lift the Heat from its early-season rottenness. Miami fell 104-95 at home to previously winless Seattle, dropping Miami to 1-7 with its first 0-4 start at home since the inaugural seasons 20 years ago.

     Will a healthy Wade be enough to lift the Heat into something resembling a decent team? Or does this feel like a doomed season?

     As we wait to find out, what a miserable time collectively for our Big 5 teams:

     Heat showing no signs of being anywhere close to a championship contender. Dolphins infamously winless, the playoff drought continuing. Football Hurricanes mediocre again, 5-5 and likely bowl-less. Supposedly improved Panthers back to the same old stuff. And Marlins off a bad year, still with no new stadium, and now poised to trade their best player.

     Question: Any good news? What do you nominate as the best thing happening down here at any level in South Florida sports?

The return of WADE!!!!

He looked good tonight.

Lets see what Beck can do. Maybe Beck to Ginn might catch on and with Satele playing, the phins finally have a good draft class.

- doomed? yes.

- good news? none.

- best thing happening in south florida sports? a mere 1,400 miles from boston sports.

[Questlove]

dean, the inconsiderate fool go back to Boston u fairweather f@g.

[ginrai]

dean your mischief here will soon catch up to you and your boston. you and your boston deserve it too.

[Belichick, Mangini, Satan et al]

Those Baseball guys, Josh B. and Mike L. along with that short jitterbug Wes W.
Oh yeah, up here we talk about what great So. Florida sports stories they are.
Now that you have Ricky "Don't bogart that joint my friend" W. back, my offer of 2 7th round picks for that Chatman benchwarmer looks even better. Hurry up and take the offer.....brooooohoooohaaaaa! Look into my eyes Camaron and take the offer, yo'll be a BIG HERO with Tom, OC, Flipper72, Ginrai and the rest. I'll even throw in a new bong for Ricky. Just look for me, I'll be in the dark corner of your mind wearing the hoodie

best news of any kind... be open minded people... FIU getting an on campus stadium(FIU student here), you have NW'ern hs (UM Junior apparently) the #1 in the Nation and columbus explorers ( alum) 10-0 in the playoffs.. you did say any level right... wade's return is big too but... dont know how the team is goin to do

[David]

Well I love Shaq and he helped bring us a championship but can anyone argue that Alonzo is playing better now. At least he brings some intensity on the defensive end. Shaq is a part time player at best.

Greg, if Shaq retires at the end of the year do the Heat get that cap space back?

All I can say as a whole...is the MIAMI athletes play with nooooo heart! You mean to tell me as bad as the Fins are they should be winless??? You think the Canes have less talent than GT, NCST, and UNC???? Honestly do you think even without shaq and Wade the REAL Miami Heat couldnt beat the Bobcats 1of2???? Cmon man. Im sick of the excuses, sick of spending money, sick of having to be positive minded when these teams show such lack of interest. These Canes have no heart. To blame losing the biggest game of the year AT FREAKIN HOME by 48 to NERVES??? WTF? I dont know if anyone out there feels as I do but Im sick of it. The fins need a new logo, new colors, new fight song, & new owner for that matter. Not more skyboxes & prettier toilets (for the rich might I add). I just cant take it anymore. When Riley offered Shaq $100 million for 5 more yrs I was beside myself. Now we cant trade that lump of cow crap for Grant Hill or the rights to Alan Houston. Miami is in trouble. Every team needs to be examined. Its a true reflection of what we have down here.......a total disaster!

[the shadow knows]

dean,

you certainly are getting a rise out of the audience- is that good or bad? when are the bulls gonna win again?- phoenix tonight looks like another loss; kobe trade-talk wiped out the teams psyche ad major regrouping needed-prontito!!!

[Kurt]

Hey ginrai, where are you on the start of your Championhip-calibur team?

Any comment besides wait and see?

[dean]

hi shadow,

i didn't know cancer was contagious. somehow kobe transmitted the disease to the bulls w/o ever coming into contact with chicago.

[ginrai]

Kurt your Celtics aren't winning anything this year. Had to bring it up. They'll make the playoffs ,and lose in the first round as my guess. You'll get a taste of Garnett's early playoff exits from his Minnesota days. Don't worry the Heat will bounce back I'm sure.

[ginrai]

dean didn't expect it coming! Go Heat!
