Heat:
The Heat and Dwyane Wade have been playing just good enough to keep in the playoff race. They've gone .500 in their last four games but Dwyane Wade is the only reason they had a chance in those games. During the month of March Dwyane wade has averaged 25.2 PPG (1st in East), 4 games of 32+ points (1st in East), 8 games of 25+ (T-1st in East). He has also been able to throw a few game winners in there.
On Tuesday the Heat had a tough loss against the Bucks when a game winner from Khris Middleton dropped the Heat 89-88. It was an unfortunate loss after Wade's efficient shooting that gave him 21 points. It's always hard for a team to lose a low scoring close game. However, the Heat bounced back when they had a pivotal matchup against the Celtics. The Celtics, Heat, and Brooklyn have all been shuffling for the 7th and 8th spot in the East. With the Heat missing three players, Goran Dragic took over and came through for the Heat ending the game with 22 points and seven assists. The Heat's new point guard seems to be fitting in just fine. The Heat's most recent game against the Piston's was action packed. Dwyane Wade finished with 40 points and 4 assists. 19 of those points came in the fourth. This win, as well as the Celtic's struggles, as put the Heat in 7th place, a game and a half in front of the 8th place Celtics. Should be interesting to see what they do against the red hot Spurs tonight, and how they fair the rest of the season.

I had kinda given up on the Heat as being a playoff team this year. You give me some hope. I'm also surprised by all the names (besides Wade) that I do not recognize. They are a completely new team - one that I hope I can grow to like.
