Dwyane Wade has two chances in two games to tie the score with a 3-pointer against the Atlanta Hawks, and fails both times.

Weekend of love: Bill Russell loves Alonzo

First it's Charles and Kenny, now it's Bill and Russell (er, and Alonzo, I mean)...

Shaq had five!

For once it’s not the referee’s fault.

This time, it’s all on the stat guy.

While we should admit the Atlanta Hawks stat crew belongs back in kindergarten counting class, replaying the Dec. 19 Hawks/Heat game is not the answer.

A “re-do” of the last 51.9 seconds of an NBA game is like redoing the Starry Night masterpiece. It could only be completed by Vincent van Gogh, while in the village of Saint-Rémy, France, in mid-September 1889. Anything less would’ve produced something much different.

This game, although nowhere near the perfection of a Van Gogh, can also never be replicated at another time.

Just leave it at the $50,000 fine. Call the Atlanta stat men "grossly negligent" in failing to address the mistake. But do not go out on the court as if you could just “pickup” where the mistake left off.

A ton of factors play into a loss. What if the referees call 30 BS fouls? Should that be looked at? Happens every game. What about when a referee makes an obvious error on a goaltending call and the team loses by one point?

Deep down Heat don’t mind another loss. Right now, there’s one equation for Miami:

Losing = Winning

Obtaining Derrick Rose is the goal, so why make it harder to accomplish?

"In my mind," Udonis Haslem said, "We didn't play well enough to win and didn't deserve to win, so I was trying to move on."

Amen big man.

Leave it to the Hawks to create infamy out of thin air. This is the franchise that took a chance on Isaiah Rider, once made a ridiculous playoff guarantee and is still trying to sort out an embarrassing court battle for ownership of the team has a new entry for its hall of shame.

"It's always something with the Hawks," Tyronn Lue moaned.
