Wade responds!

All eyes were on tonight's game 6 between the Pacers and Heat, and boy did Dwyane Wade deliver. The period between game 5 and 6 consisted of so much drama, I don't know where to start. We could start with the 3 flagrant fouls that set up the league suspending two of Miami's bigs and none of the Pacers. This drew plenty of attention especially after Wade came out and said they were treated unfairly. Then shortly after the very chippy game, Larry Bird came out and called his team soft, as he spelled it out S-O-F-T. Then Dwyane Wade was named to the third team All-NBA which is a slight to his talents. On top of all of this you have a slightly injured Danny Granger, plenty of tension, an annoyed Lebron James, and a must-win game for the Pacers. Hope you grabbed your popcorn, cause you didn't want to miss this one.
This game had all of the makings for a huge headline, and Wade delivered. After a terrible showing from Wade in game three, he came up big in the following 3 games with his best showing in game 6 where he scored 41 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. These are the kind of showings the Heat will need from Wade if they want to grab the title this year, expecially while Bosh is sidelined. The Heat always seem to step up in these type of situations. Even Magic Johnson stated on ESPN in the post game, "Every time they're challenged, they play great."These are the type of challenges that make championship teams, and after this showing I believe they will win it all. Let me know who you think will take home the title this year and don't forget to vote on the polls in the left column.
