Dwyane Wade Last Quotations

Of course me and Shaq will be the main focus of the offense, ... That was successful for us last year and will continue to be successful for us, hopefully.

Maybe he'll dominate more next year than he did this year. ... Hopefully, we won't have this feeling again. Maybe we'll have a feeling of enjoyment after our last game.

Last year we had a team that everybody had a role. If it wasn't me and Shaq scoring, everybody was spotting up, hitting the jumper. The main thing is it just takes time to learn each other, learn the system.

He's a lot stronger. Last year he lost weight and I think that took a toll on him at the end of the year because he didn't have the strength to fall back on.

Last year, he just lost weight. And I think at the end of the year that kind of took a toll on him because he didn't have that strength that he used to, to fall back on. ... Shaq is motivated to do something better and help the team.

Last year my heart was racing up until the point I got picked. This year I was more confident that after a good year people would recognize me as an All-Star. But getting the nod and being a starter, that means so much.

I was more aggressive going to the basket to finish than I was the last game. And tonight they called them. The other night they didn't.

You all (the media) might have made him mad. I think you all lit a fire under him. He's been playing well the last couple of games. He continued to do it today.

Our defensive intensity wasn't there like it's been the last three games.

Dominance, man. I think this is the best he's played in a long time. Last night was one of his better games in a while, so it's good to see him back into the form of being Shaquille.

You (the media) might have made him (O'Neal) mad. I think you all lit a fire under him. He's been playing well the last couple of games. We have to find him more. We came out trying to get him the ball early. He led us to victory.

I don't know if it was a wakeup call. Anytime you lose a game, you always look and see what you did wrong. I think in the last couple of games we've been getting ourselves down. So we want to come out with more energy and be more efficient.

The main thing is to close games out when we have them. You don't want to give a team like the Bulls that are going to continue to fight confidence, especially at home at the end of games like we did the last two.
