Miami Heat's second year pro, Dwayne Wade saved my playoff prediction last night. If Wade and his teammates went into game 3 down 0-2, to the defending NBA Champs, the Detroit Pistons, then I would have looked silly picking Miami to represent the East in the NBA Finals.

The magic of Dwayne Wade has been bright ever since last year's playoff series against the Indianapolis Pacers. He has made himself into one of the best players in the NBA. While he may give a lot of credit to his teammate Shaquille O'Neal, one thing is for sure, he elevated his game last night and led the Heat to a 92-86 win over the Detroit Pistons.

Wade's twenty points in the fourth quarter were some of best moves of the year, including an alley oop. It appear that Miami needed all of his forty points in the game to win. Thank you, Dwayne Wade for allowing me to still have hope in my playoff pick.
