Actually I Think D-Wade IS The Problem

Michael Wallace, of the Miami Herald, in his latest article had this to say about the potential close-out game in the Heat-Bulls series.

It's really not about slowing down Heat guard Dwyane Wade. And it has very little to do with containing center Shaquille O'Neal. No, the Bulls must fight another formidable foe as they attempt to complete a four-game sweep: themselves.
It's really not about slowing down Heat Guard Dwyane Wade. You're sure about this? Winning today's game isn't about stopping one of the top 5 players in the League? It's more about stopping the Bulls from fighting themselves? Okay, moving on.

Although no team in NBA history has lost a series after winning the first three games, the Bulls insist they're not just happy with a comfortable cushion. They crave to close the deal.
Yet they have to worry about "fighting themselves?" The Heat's role players have proven themselves to be shells of their former selves. Outside of Wade and Shaq, they're only getting a contribution from James Posey. The series has been a complete mismatch from the start. What are the Bulls worried about? Oh yeah, that Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich will begin fighting at half court. Gotcha, Mikey.
