With Dwyane Wade getting injured, possibly for the year, I think it will showcase why Dwyane Wade was my first-half MVP. As of now, the Heat are 25-20 with Wade (and largely without Shaq), 1-8 without him. Wade created absolutely everything for Miami. He scored 28.8 PPG, dished out 7.9 APG, and drew the defense to him. Without him, they won't be able to score. Sure, they scored 100 against the Mavs on Thursday, but the Mavs had that game wrapped up by half.
Who will create shots for the Heat? Jason Williams? Shaq? It's going to get ugly, because this is a bad team without Wade.
Bet the house, if Wade misses the rest of the season, the Heat will not win more than 35 or 36 games this year, and they will miss the playoffs, even in the weak Eastern Conference. To win 36 games they'd have to finish 10-19, and I really don't think they'll even be able to do that. You heard it here first.

As a Heat fan, this is unbelievably bad news
The problem with this argument is that the Heat weren't playing a good level of basketball with Wade in. 25-20 in the Eastern Conference is not good. Anyways, I think Dirk will win the MVP. Whoever has the best record in the West gets the MVP...either Dirk or Nash. And Kobe comes in third.
Yeah, Dirk definitely becomes my favorite with Wade out. He's playing great and the Mavs are obviously playing at an incredibly high level.
I think Wade and Steve Nash could be MVP every year with the way their current teams are constructed - those two go out, there go the chances at a championship. Heat fans must be mortified of this injury opening up more scoring opportunities (read: chucking up ill-advised 3's) for Antoine Walker.
