5 seconds left, wade picks off the inbound and quickly calls a timeout. 4 seconds left , Marion inbounds it to wade, wade back to Marion and he one hand slammed it for the win. Wade with 24 points and 7 assists
Don't forget what happened before that:
Heat had what was to be the last possession, but the inbounds pass to Wade down at the block ricocheted off his hands and Hinrich pulled it in (and called a TO).
Then, the Wade steal happened...
Watched it live.. Bulls had a foul to give and should have used it. Regardless, Bulls need to strap the team and build around Rose. Let's start with Wade ;D
I don't think it's any secret that the Bulls will be looking to move Gordon/Hinrich/possibly Deng. They've had the same core of players for over 3 years now, with absolutely no progress (actually have regressed over the years).
I would look for the Bulls to shed some of those heavy contracts, and make a STRONG push to bring DWade back home. A backcourt of Rose and Wade would be absolutely sick, and a great foundation for years to come.
Gonna be a wild 2010 for the NBA with the number and quality of free agents that will be available.
So you guys are openly admitting to dedicating 150 minutes of your life to NBA basketball? Maybe the playoffs, but come on.

I actually went to a Bucks game the other night. Not to see Diener, but because Ramon Sessions is a stud and they have no chocie but to play him now.

I'd rather watch a ho-hum pro game than a ho-hum college game. The players are just so much better and smoother.
Awesome play to end that game!

The reason that I don't watch pro basketball is because the players don't seem to be trying on defense or offense. It's understandable because they need to keep themselves healthy for a very long season, but at least in a ho-hum college game there will be kids that are playing their hearts out.

I'm not going to disagree there. Sometimes the first 3 quarters of an nba game the players will coast a bit but it's exciting to watch the last quarter when guys are really getting after it.
Marion hits the game winning dunk and 12 hours later gets traded to the Raptors.....Nice Reward

Has been for Has been IMO. They both are average players at this point in their career.
