The Nets have had a string of injuries take away their chance to be at all relevant the first part of this season, and in fact, they were winless through nine games heading into Miami to face Dwyane Wade and the Heat on Saturday. They appeared to have a chance to get their first win of the season, though, thanks to a sluggish effort from a Miami team that was missing Jermaine O'Neal from the start, and Mario Chalmers after five minutes due to injury.New Jersey led by three with 30 seconds remaining, before Quentin Richardson accidentally banked in a three-pointer to tie the game at 78. The Nets got the lead back, thanks to a tip-in from Brook Lopez with just under four seconds remaining.
But unfortunately for the Nets, Dwyane Wade plays for the Heat. And even though he hadn't made a shot the entire second half, he drained a three with 0.1 left on the game clock to make sure that New Jersey stayed winless.

D-Wade does it again. Can't take nothing away from these great finishers like D-Wade, Kobe or Lebron. But is it me, or does every team in the league seem to play these guys one on one when the game is on the line? It just seems that you would double these stars up and make somebody else beat you. Get the ball out of their hands at all costs because it seems like they never miss when the game is on the line. As a fan, you see it coming so how come a coach can't?
None at Pr esent.
