Check out the latest buzz below.
Wade Ready to Opener
Star guard Dwyane Wade says that he’s excited for the start of the regular season as the Heat prepare to face the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.
“When you go through a whole training camp and you go through eight games of preseason, we’re excited to get to the real thing,” Wade told NBA.com.
“We’re excited to see how much growth we’ve had since the first day of training camp. The regular season, especially early on, we’ve got a tough schedule [and] it’s going to test us, so we look forward to it.”
Wade says that he’s been playing well in the new offense, which includes more plays for himself.
“Early on I was just trying to see what the offense was about, seeing where I can get other guys shots and as we got deeper into the preseason, got deeper into training camp, coach started putting more individual things in for myself and Chris [Bosh],” Wade said. “I’m not worried about shots at all. I can get those.”
He also said that he'll be taking more 3-pointers.
“When I have my opportunities and it swings to me, I’m going to take it,” Wade said.
“I’m just going to continue to try [and] take good ones as much as possible. I think the biggest thing is…when you’re putting the work in, and you translate it to the game and you see it go in. Now it’s about just letting it go and being ready to shoot it. This preseason has been good for that, for my confidence with that and my teammates’ confidence in me as well, so it’s been good.”
